Attention:
The complete history of CSUS is in the process of being written. New chapters are being added to this work as soon as they are completed.
There are many ways to tell such a story. An unbroken
narrative is one. Another is the segmental approach where the
story is told by consistent standardized topics. This latter method
has been chosen for this history to allow the reader to see the
evolution of the university by topic while still being able to
read its history each year if so desired.
The yearly topics are: (1) Chronology (2) Campus Development, Planning, and Physical Plant (3) Administration and Support Staff (4) Student Body (5) Faculty (6) Curriculum (7) Enrollment (8) Academic Support (9) Sports (10) Major Events and Issues. There
will be historical lists at the very end of the history in an appendices
section.
The sources used in the research of this history are found in the University Archive. They include: the Campus Digest, official press releases, local press clippings, faculty meeting minutes, college catalog, the Signal, and the Legend yearbook.
