"Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way." - Abraham Lincoln

Our community determined that a public, four-year university right here in Ventura County could and should be done. And now it is a reality.

Members of the President's Circle have played an important role in bringing the dream to reality. Being a part of the President's Circle is a way of sharing the excitement of launching a new university with others who believe in higher education and who are committed to building a campus devoted to academic excellence.

As a young University, there is still much to be done. Will you help ensure a first-rate, public university education for our students?

Your gift of $1,000 or more to the President's Circle will help the University:

• Provide support for the needs of a growing campus
• Offer much-needed scholarship support to students
• Assist in supplying the new library with up-to-date, quality educational resources
• Build a University community focused on student-centered programs and services
• Enable the President to respond to opportunities for the benefit of the University

Private outright gifts help ensure a margin of excellence for our University that state funds alone cannot provide. By joining the President's Circle now or by renewing your membership, you will be a part of this exciting new venture of academic excellence and help provide access to high education for thousands of students, while enriching this community far into the future.
