1960 Campaign | April 22 - 23

Join our campus community for the annual 1960 Campaign. Your gift during this two-day giving event supports students ensuring their basic needs are met when students need them most. The Campus Cares Fund is designed to help ensure that all Stan State students have access to resources supporting their basic needs so they can remain focused on their education.

During the 1960 Campaign (April 22–23), donations can be directed to two vital areas of need:

  • Campus Cares – Food Insecurities
  • Campus Cares – Student Emergencies

Your generosity provides immediate, meaningful support to students navigating financial hardship or unexpected life circumstances. Learn more about the 1960 Campaign.
