With nearly half of its more than 470,000 students identifying as Hispanic/Latinx, the California State University serves one of the nation’s most diverse student populations and is recognized as a national leader in educating Hispanic/Latinx students. These students, as well as the CSU’s Latinx faculty and staff, bring a wealth of perspectives, cultures and lived experiences to campuses throughout California.

The CSU is proud to have a diverse community of leaders who foster inclusive and supportive environments where students, faculty and staff can learn, work and thrive.

In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Calstate.edu asked the CSU’s Latinx leaders, including President Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, to reflect on ​their leadership journeys, sources of inspiration and visions for the future.
