“It's about investing back into the community that invested in me. I know what Sac State is capable of doing. As a Black male, former foster child, first-generation college student who struggled with food insecurity and housing insecurity, I was able to graduate because of the incredible people and systems of support that were in place. If Sac State can do that for me, it can do that for anyone.”
-President Luke Wood, Ph.D.
The President’s Circle transforms the lives of our students by supporting critical programs that prepare them for leadership, service and success. As a member of the President’s Circle, you are part of a very special circle of friends that advance a culture of caring. Together, we are addressing emerging and emergency needs head-on, and are ensuring our students have access to a robust educational experience they deserve. There is still much work to be done, and we need the help of special community members like you.
I invite you to join the President’s Circle where you, too, will have the opportunity to directly impact the lives of our students. Every student’s impact and future are a new legacy – and their legacies are part of your lasting impact.
♥️ 68 years ago, I had 4 children under 5 and was living in a housing project. My graduation from Sacramento State would not have been possible without the generosity of donors whose scholarships I received! From my heart, it is indeed an honor to be a donor for current students as they pursue their dreams! ♥️

Together, let's ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive and succeed."
