CSU Chancellor Timothy White visited CSUSM for the first time on Oct. 24, 2013 as part of his 23-campus tour and discovered the unique and innovative spirit at San Marcos. During his visit, Chancellor White toured laboratories and centers, met with student leaders, spoke candidly at a campus forum, shared leadership advice with business students, talked with faculty and even tested his Frisbee throwing skills on CSUSM's disc golf course.

As 2016 comes to an end, we are reminded of the busy and meaningful year we've had, and the many memorable celebrations that brought so much joy to our campus. No matter how you celebrate, we wish you happy holidays from California State University San Marcos.
