Our Belief in CSU and its Students

A Message from our Co-chairs

As proud CSU alumni, we are deeply honored to co-chair ENGAGE: The Campaign for Cleveland State University. The education that we received at CSU was exceptional and laid the foundation for our success. For this we are grateful and proud to support future generations of Cleveland State alumni.

The time is right for this campaign. CSU is recognized and respected – locally, nationally and internationally for its engaged learning, excellent faculty and research, and partnerships. CSU students are the essential building block to a thriving city, region and country. Their success is important to us all and is the reason why this campaign is paramount.

Our passion for CSU runs deep and our leadership for ENGAGE: The Campaign for Cleveland State University is a strong indication of our belief in CSU and its students. Please join us in celebrating the great things happening at CSU and the path to student success.
