Donor Recognition

San Diego State University is committed to fostering student success, advancing research and creative endeavors, and contributing to the local and global community. Due to the ongoing success of these initiatives, the university continues to gain recognition as a leader in higher education.

These achievements are made possible with the support of our generous donors.
