In the spring of 2004, California State University, Sacramento launched Destination 2010. It is an initiative that will transform Sacramento State into a university of choice for prospective students and employees throughout the West. We will become a premier metropolitan university and a destination campus.

Six decades after its founding, Sacramento State has evolved into a highly respected regional institution with more than 28,000 students. We provide access to an education of exceptional quality. Our graduates are leaders in their fields and in their communities. Our economic, social and cultural impact is immense. One in 26 residents of the six-county Sacramento Region is a Sacramento State graduate. The University directly and indirectly contributes more than $900 million to the region's economy annually.

We believe that we possess even greater potential. We are building upon our solid foundation and upon the dreams and aspirations of our campus community – our students, faculty, and staff, our alumni, and the people of our region.

Through Destination 2010, we will:

Foster excellent academic and student programs by:

• Recognizing diversity as vital to developing the “New California”
• Recruiting the best faculty
• Continually assessing and strengthening our academic and related co-curricular offerings
• Utilizing the best in teaching and learning technology
• Providing comprehensive student services and programs

Build a welcoming campus by:

• Developing beautiful and inviting grounds and facilities
• Becoming a regional event destination
• Offering public-friendly campus retailing

Create a dynamic physical environment by:

• Planning effectively and improving our infrastructure
• Providing excellent academic facilities and support centers
• Developing residential options for students, faculty and staff
• Building state-of-the-art campus-life facilities

Develop community support by:

• Increasing our visibility
• Expanding our advocacy base
• Encouraging broader community financial support

We are moving rapidly to accomplish Destination 2010’s goals, and we remain committed to enhancing Sacramento State’s reputation as a great university and a destination campus well beyond the year 2010.

Sacramento State…. Leadership begins here.
