California
State University, Sacramento is living up to its promise.
When residents first dreamed of a four-year university in this region,
they had countless ideas for what it might provide— a talented
workforce, musicians and artists, schoolteachers, leaders. They wanted
a better community for themselves and their children.
It took years of hard work, but in 1947 the new college was founded.
Today, Sacramento State has gained statewide recognition and is one
of the Capital Region’s most important economic and intellectual centers—a
catalyst for regional development.
From Sacramento to Roseville, Marysville to Elk Grove, Sacramento State
is providing opportunities, leadership and a surprisingly large economic
stimulus.
The sheer size of our operations and involvement in the Capital Region
generates $743.5 million for the region’s economy each year.
Through the state’s largest cooperative education program and
thousands of internships, our students are heavily involved in government,
education, technology and other important sectors. Student volunteer
efforts are worth millions to local non-profits.
You can’t go far in the Capital Region without meeting one of
our alums—most of the 5,000 students we graduate each year decide
to remain in the area. That has been good for businesses and government
agencies, whose leaders say Sacramento State has brought a stronger
local employment pool while improving the quality of life.
I hope you enjoy reading this report, and that you learn more about
California State University, Sacramento. We’ve truly become a
Golden Asset for the Capital Region.

About
economic impact
Economic impact studies summarize the measurable effects of an institution
on an economy. They assume an institution’s activities have a
“multiplier effect” within the greater economy.
The economic findings presented here are from a study by the Sacramento
Regional Research Institute, a joint venture between Sacramento State
and the Sacramento Area Commerce & Trade Organization, using a conservative econometric
model that looks at the six-county region of El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento,
Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties. Data is from the 2001-02 fiscal year
unless otherwise noted.
