President's Message

Stephen L. Weber
President

Dear Student,

Welcome to San Diego State University! SDSU is a wonderfully talented, diverse, energetic community dedicated to learning and public service. We value the potential and ability of all individuals and are dedicated to providing educational experiences, in and out of the classroom, which will embrace and develop those abilities. As a member of this community of learners, your success at SDSU will be dependent upon the effort you are prepared to invest in your own growth and development.

No university can be adequately reflected in the pages of a document such as this. The spirit of our students, the talent and dedication of our faculty, the care and concern provided by administrative, professional and support staff cannot be captured on these pages - yet each is essential to the spirit of San Diego State University. This catalog provides a starting place in which you can find some basic information which we hope will be helpful. Don't hesitate to supplement it with personal inquiries. We are proud of San Diego State University and are eager to answer any questions you may have. We will do our best to be of assistance to you.

We are people who live and learn together. I am pleased that you have chosen to be a part of our community. SDSU is one of this state's and nation's great universities; we look to you to help us become still better.

Stephen L. Weber
