Fall 2023 Events

Anchor University is proud to coordinate several events for the fall 2023 semester that will highlight aspects of the University's anchor mission. They will provide an opportunity for students, staff, faculty, administration, and community partners to interact on behalf of improving our campus and regional community.

Lunch and Learn Professional Development Series

A Lunch & Learn program is where an organization encourages participants to eat lunch in a group setting while simultaneously utilizing that time to complete trainings, seminars, and other educations. They provide an organization with an excellent opportunity to educate or train participants.

To request ADA/ASL reasonable accommodation, please contact anchor@csus.edu no later than five business days before the event.

Lunch will be provided.
