Together We Make a Difference!
University Outreach collaborates with various entities to develop programs that serve special groups in our community. Hosting two large-scale signature events and being a part of two community collaborations creates a special connection to the community in that we strive to extend our services beyond our campus community. If you would like to collaborate with University Outreach at CSU Channel Islands on outreach events or college fairs, please contact our front desk to speak to a representative.

CSU Super Sunday
Super Sunday is an event coordinated by the CSU Chancellor’s Office in an effort to increase access to higher education. Each CSU campus is assigned an AME (African Methodist Episcopal) church in California with the aim of informing African-American students about the college preparation and admissions processes. The day consists of a presentation by CI’s President, Dr. Richard R. Rush, or Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. Wm. Gregory Sawyer, followed by a tabling session conducted by Admissions & Recruitment staff and University Outreach student volunteers.
To learn more, please visit the CSU’s Super Sunday Web site.
