You are cordially invited to President Dianne F. Harrison’s Annual Welcome Address in the Great Hall of the Valley Performing Arts Center on Thursday, August 25, at 9 a.m. The President's address will be immediately followed by a reception with light refreshments.

So that we may get an accurate headcount and plan for food and refreshments accordingly, please RSVP here. (Please note that the event is otherwise open seating and there will be no formal check in at the venue.)

The 2016-17 academic year promises a year of great opportunity for CSUN as we welcome a new class of first-year and transfer students and engage with our returning students, as well as focus on the high bar of success we have set for them and ourselves. The welcome address is an opportunity to hear about CSUN’s achievements during the previous year and hear about the university’s goals and priorities for 2016-17.

If you have not RSVP’ed yet and are unable to attend in person, the address will be webcast live at http://youtube.com/calstatenorthridge.

President Harrison looks forward to joining with you on August 25 to mark the start of the new academic year and continuing our efforts to advance the academic journey and excellence of our students.
