Support the Study Abroad Program

Your tax-deductible gift will make a difference in the lives of students and faculty participating in the study abroad program.

You can help the Department of Communication Studies promote international activities, cultural awareness, and global competencies by making a donation to the study abroad fund. Your gift will go directly to students, faculty and the International Symposium Showcase thereby reducing the costs of the study abroad program.

To donate, you may give online using the California State University, Northridge gift form and selecting Study Abroad. Visit the University’s giving page here.

Or you may write a check payable to the California State University, Northridge Foundation and write “COMS Study Abroad” in the memo line and mail to the address below. To talk to someone about other giving opportunities, including multi-year pledges, planned gifts and endowments, contact:
