At Stan State, our story began in 1960, and over the decades, our community has grown stronger, more vibrant and dedicated to shaping the future of the Central Valley. This campaign celebrates that legacy, bringing together faculty, staff, alumni, students and community members for 1,960 minutes of collective giving to support student success, innovation and the future of our University and greater community.
Join us as we work together to make a lasting impact in just 1,960 minutes!
Why 1960?
Stan State opened its doors for instruction in 1960, and since then, we have been a central hub of learning, growth and opportunity for the region. This campaign honors our history by creating a powerful, time-bound event focused on shaping the next 60+ years.
1,960 minutes is just over 32 hours — a short window with a lasting legacy.
Get Involved!
1960 Minutes of Giving will take place from 8 a.m. April 30 to 4:40 p.m. May 1.
