At Sacramento State, the Serna Center is a powerful catalyst for student success, rooted in cultural heritage, leadership, and civic engagement. We believe in the potential of every student and recognize that cultural identity and community play a vital role in shaping future leaders.
More than just a program, the Serna Center is a familia—a welcoming space where Chicanx/Latinx students and students from all backgrounds can find mentorship, connection, and opportunities for growth. We know that student success extends beyond academics; it thrives in environments where students explore their identities, develop leadership skills, and engage with the social and cultural realities that shape our world.
Through transformative programs, we empower students to become change-makers. From leadership development and cultural programming to research initiatives and community partnerships, we provide the tools students need to excel academically and make meaningful contributions to society. When you support the Serna Center, you are investing in the next generation of scholars, advocates, and leaders who will drive progress in our communities.
Your generosity can open doors. By giving today, you help expand opportunities for leadership, strengthen cultural understanding, and ensure that students have the resources they need to thrive.
Give for opportunity. Give for success. Give for community.
Thank you for believing in our students and the power of cultural knowledge to create lasting impact.
