Stanislaus State is a cornerstone of the Central Valley, preparing the region’s future leaders in education, government, healthcare, agriculture, and beyond. But too many students—especially those from historically underrepresented backgrounds — face academic and financial challenges that can derail their educational journey.
The Pathways to Universal Student Success initiative is designed to break down those barriers. Through peer mentorship, academic bridge programs, and hands-on career experiences with local employers, we’re building a strong foundation for student achievement, boosting retention, improving performance in critical courses, and guiding students all the way to graduation.
Your gift will support:
- Peer Mentorship – Creating a sense of belonging and connection across high school, community college, and Stan State to ensure a smooth transition and ongoing support.
- Summer Bridge Programs – Equipping at-risk and transfer students with the academic tools, resources, and confidence they need to thrive from day one.
- Valley-Based Experiential Learning – Connecting students with local businesses for real-world experience, professional mentorship, and stronger job prospects after graduation.
Our first cohort will serve 30–40 students. With your support, we can launch these students toward academic success, offering them the guidance, resources, and networks they need to stay on track and graduate on time.
Invest in the Central Valley’s future — help students succeed at Stan State. Your gift today will make a lasting impact.
