Thanks to a collaboration among several offices throughout campus, more than 160 students from Huron elementary and middle schools, all wearing “Be Bold” T-shirts sponsored by United Way, spent a day visiting the Fresno State campus.
They were treated to a campus tour thanks to Outreach and Special Programs with stops in the Henry Madden Library and the University Student Union before making their way across campus to the Save Mart Center.
There, the students had a meet-and-greet with wrestling athletes (whom they have written fan letters to) and coach Troy Steiner. They were later treated to a physics activity with Don Williams, adviser of the Physics Outreach program, and performances by the Fresno State choir and theatre arts students by the College of Arts and Humanities.
The President’s Office hosted dinner for the students before a visit with President Joseph I. Castro and First Lady Mary Castro and representatives from United Way and Chevron, who also sponsored the event. The students ended the night at the wrestling match against Oregon State.
“We are grateful for the partnership between Chevron, United Way and Fresno State that has made this visit possible,” Mary Castro said. “It has been exciting to be a part of the collaboration on campus between the College of Science and Mathematics, the College of Arts and Humanities, the Department of Athletics and Campus Outreach and Special Programs.”
