Fourth Annual Giving Day March 4th & 5th

College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Giving

CSUN’s Fourth Annual Giving Day is happening this week on March 4^th and 5^th, and it’s your chance to make a meaningful impact.

For 33 hours, beginning at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, March 4, and continuing through 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 5, our campus community will come together to support the programs, students, and initiatives that make CSUN extraordinary. Giving Day is all about expanding our reach, strengthening our reputation, and investing in the future we’re building together.

The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences has proudly been the event’s single-largest source of support, leading in both number of gifts and total dollars raised. With your enthusiasm and generosity, we are excited to continue that tradition of leadership and collective success.

Mark your calendar, spread the word, and join us early on March 4 when Giving Day goes live. Every gift, no matter the size, moves us forward and makes a difference for our students and our community.
