Recognized as one of the nation's finest public liberal arts and sciences colleges, Sonoma State University is experiencing a time of extraordinary growth and change.

In recent years, SSU has truly come into its own. All over campus you can feel the spirit of an energized academic institution that educates more than 8,000 students each year, and sustains more than 5,300 jobs in the region. Sonoma State graduates earn $528 million annually, and the University's impact on the regional economy exceeds $383 million.

Partnerships with the local wine industry, local school districts, and high-tech companies are representative of the inter-dependence between the University and its community. Numerous regional and national programs have been developed at SSU, and education models such as the innovative nurse practitioner distance delivery program, have improved the quality of life of countless individuals who would otherwise not be served.

Sonoma State thrives today because of its students, 1,500 dedicated faculty and staff, over 51,000 alumni, and friends who support the University's role as a community partner and premier education institution. More than four decades of excellence has established strong ties between SSU and the community, and in that short span of time, a strong tradition of support has emerged.

Sonoma State relies on the generous support of alumni and friends to sustain its academic programs and to share in its visions for the future. Your gift will help us provide the resources we need to ensure the finest quality of education for our students and the opportunity to keep the energy alive with new and innovative programs, talented faculty and staff, and state-of-the-art facilities.
