Cesar Chavez Student Center Information

The Cesar Chavez Student Center is a non-profit auxiliary organization of San Francisco State University. SF State is an internationally known urban institution of higher learning located in an ethnically and culturally diverse city, whose student body reflects its environment. The Student Center serves as a focal point of student activity. The Center first opened its doors in September 1975. Since its inception the Center has continued to evolve, lead by active student leadership in meeting the ever-growing needs of a large and diverse student population and the SF State campus community. The Student Center serves the student population by providing a myriad of services (e.g. restaurants, meeting rooms, conference hall, ATMs, transit passes) and programs (e.g. art exhibits, live bands, community based events) that are student driven and student focused. The Student Center Governing Board is the Center’s deliberative body with majority of elected students and appointments from University administration, faculty, alumni and staff that guide the course of the organization. SCGB meetings are open to the public and take place on the first Thursday of every month. MISSION STATEMENT To provide, maintain and develop facilities, programs and support services that promote and enrich the educational, social and cultural needs and objectives of our richly diverse campus and local communities.
