A show of understanding and support came recently from Stanislaus State Foundation Board Director Bob Triebsch, a Turlock attorney. Triebsch is a long-time supporter and advisor for many who have contributed to the University.


When she arrived at Stan State as a nervous freshman, Georgina Orozco had no idea what she wanted to study. During her senior year at Downey High School in Modesto, her friends and classmates all seemed to have a plan, or at least a major in mind. 

She only knew she wanted to go to college and toured UC Merced, which her father declared was too far from home. 

 

With the health and safety of all members of our campus community paramount to our concerns, we are announcing a significant change to our previous communication regarding instructional continuity.

Stan State is hosting two events to help the community and University students become more familiar with the upcoming census.

On Thursday, March 19, the Stanislaus State Diversity Center is joining with community partners to co-host a Census Fair at Osborn Elementary School (201 N Soderquist Rd, Turlock) from 5:30-7 p.m. The event is designed to help the community understand what the Census is, how to properly fill out the forms and to answer any pressing questions. This event is open for the community to attend with their children, family and friends.

 

A team of assessors from the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) will visit the Stanislaus State campus on April 5, 2020 to examine all aspects of the University Police Department’s policies and procedures, management, operation and support services.

According to Chief of Police Clint Strode, verification by the team that our University Police Department meets IACLEA’s standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation – a highly prized recognition of campus public safety professional excellence.
