California State University Los Angeles

Greetings from the President

Welcome to California State University, Los Angeles. There is no asset more important to the process of learning than great teachers. Since its founding in 1947, Cal State L.A. has recruited a faculty of nationally and internationally honored experts, and continues to develop each student's potential with an excellent student-teacher ratio, individual attention in small classes, research opportunities, and teambuilding. Throughout these decades, our students' education has been enriched by a campus community with a wide range of interests, ages and cultures that mirrors the real world and produces graduates like math teaching Jaime Escalante, novelist Joseph Wambaugh, business leader Donald Sterling U.S. congresswoman Maxine Waters and astronaut Sam Durrance. For over half a century, Cal State L.A. has been providing an educationa foundation of critical thinking and problem-solving skills that has enabled our students to become today's leaders. Cal State L.A. continues to provide unlimited learning opportunities in a setting of academic excellence, so that our students are current and fluent in many "languages," whether it is the art and language of another people, the terminology of global politics and economics, or the vocabulary of the new technology. The new century approaches at lightning speed. As the University enter its sixth decade, a new Cal State L.A. is poised to help you keep in step with-or one step ahead of-the rapidly changing world. I look forward to your many successes at Cal State L.A. and beyond.
