“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.

♥️ 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! ♥️

"As a retired professor deeply invested in the transformative power of education, I wholeheartedly endorse the University Presidents Circle. By supporting presidential priorities, we bridge gaps and uphold Sacramento State's core values, particularly in empowering underrepresented, former foster youth, and minoritized students. Together, let's ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive and succeed."
