How does a university become a great university? Through the generosity of its alumni and friends.

The support of our alumni and friends has propelled California State University, Long Beach to the list of top-tier public universities. The Beach, the university of choice for thousands of young scholars, is now the second largest institution in the California State University System and the third largest in California.
University Relations and Development creates awareness and builds enduring relationships with alumni, friends and corporations to generate the financial support required of a nationally ranked university. These resources enable CSULB to support advanced teaching technologies, student scholarships, library collections and renowned faculty. With your support, we create a margin of excellence in all of our programs. Our students are well prepared to address the complex challenges they will face following graduation.
CSULB is your university; you are a part of our extended family. We hope you enjoy visiting our Web site, and we hope to see you on campus!
