Morales began his role as CSUSB’s fourth president in August 2012. His commitment to student success has led to various innovative summer bridge and other student and academic support services, including strengthening relationships with public K-12 school districts and community colleges in the Inland Empire.
“We are all together here in a very, very special place. We have a vital mission. And we punch well above our weight,” university President Tomás D. Morales said. “Each of you is making a real difference.”
“Let 2024-25 be the year of re-engagement with our students so that we can build student success. This must be the focus of all who work on this campus, regardless of what position you hold or what area of responsibility you cover,” CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales said.
Due to the fact that the campus’ annual Convocation ceremony wasn’t able to take place this year because of Tropical Storm Hilary, the PDC Pack Welcome event will officially welcome students to the 2023-24 academic year.
“This year, I wish to focus on where we are with two major campus initiatives, which were launched at last year’s Convocation: our new 2023-28 strategic plan, which will shape our work and efforts across all segments of the university; and the ongoing ‘Our Defining Moment: The Campaign for CSUSB.’ Its success will also have a tremendous impact on how we are able to grow and serve our students and our region,” CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales said.
The CSUSB Palm Desert Campus Convocation, which will welcome students to the 2023-24 academic year, has been postponed. New date to be determined.
New and returning students learned about academic tradition and campus life at the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus at the event held Sept. 1.
Convocation will feature highlights from last year, the goals and challenges for the upcoming year along with announcements of the President’s Special Achievement and Outstanding Employee award winners.
CSUSB President Tomás D. Morales delivered the keynote address, sharing campus achievements and advice for students during the Aug. 26 event.
