New ‘CSU Voices’ Platform Empowers Advocacy Efforts
The California State University has launched CSU Voices, a new e-advocacy platform that invites students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters to engage on key policy issues affecting public higher education. The initiative provides timely updates on state and federal developments and offers opportunities to take action when it matters most. “As higher education faces increasing fiscal and policy challenges, it is vital that decision-makers hear directly from those who know firsthand the life-changing impact of the CSU and especially a Cal Poly Pomona education,” said Interim President Iris S. Levine. Learn more and register at calstate.edu/csuvoices.
