This week is an important moment for Fresno State: From Oct. 8 to 10, we will welcome the review team from the WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) to campus as part of our reaccreditation process.
We encourage everyone to wear your favorite Fresno State gear throughout the week to show your pride and help create a warm welcome for our WSCUC guests.
Visit the Fresno State Reaccreditation website for the latest updates, resources and forum details.
Reaccreditation is about more than meeting requirements — it’s a window of time for us to reflect on who we are, how we serve, and how we can continue to grow stronger and innovate together; we do this for the sake of our graduates, who then become leaders in our Valley and beyond. This year, we are honored to be on the Thematic Pathway for Reaccreditation, a distinction given only to high-performing universities.
Our theme, Flagship of the Central Valley, speaks to the heart of our mission. It reminds us of the transformative and essential role Fresno State plays across our region — through education, economic innovation, research, civic engagement and leadership.
The WSCUC team will host open forums with faculty, staff, students, and alumni. I hope you will join a session or share your reflections — your voice and your story are an important part of this process:
- Faculty: 1 – 1:45 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 8 | Library, Peters Ellipse Gallery (second floor)
- Staff: 2:45 – 3:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 8 | Library, Room 2206
- Students: 3:30 – 4:15 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 8 | Library, Peters Ellipse Gallery (second floor)
- Alumni: 4:30 – 5:15 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 8 | Library, Room 2134 (second floor) — Hybrid session
If you cannot attend in person, you are also invited to share written feedback directly with the WSCUC team at csufresno@wscuc.org. This confidential account is managed only by WSCUC staff. I hope you will join a forum or share your reflections — your voice and your story are an important part of this process.
This is our time to show what makes Fresno State truly extraordinary. Thank you for the passion, dedication, and excellence you bring to our university every single day. You are the creative force that makes Fresno State proudly stand as the Flagship of the Valley.
Go ’Dogs!
