萨克拉门托 State welcomed its first students to campus 75 years ago, 

当时是1947年，235名学者中大部分是二战归来的士兵。 在开学的第一天，这所当时被称为萨克拉门托州立学院（萨克拉门托 State College）的学校有五名全职教师。

从那时起，Sac州立大学已经成为该地区乃至其他地区的一股强大力量，拥有超过3.1万名在校学生和庞大的校友网络。 在大萨克拉门托地区，每20个成年人中就有一个是萨克州立大学的毕业生。 《美国新闻与世界报道》 今年，该大学在帮助学生实现社会流动性方面排名美国西部第14位。

On Thursday, 囊状态 will mark the start of its 75^th Anniversary year with an event that will highlight its dynamic growth and significant accomplishments. 从上午10点开始，大黄蜂家族的成员将聚集在主广场举行生日派对，届时将有音乐和其他娱乐活动，演讲者，信息亭，蛋糕和饼干。

“What has not changed in 75 years is our focus on being a student-centered University, and on being 萨克拉门托’s University." ——纳尔逊总统

Following those festivities, the campus community will gather for the yearly “Swarm” photo, an image that annually includes hundreds of students, faculty and staff.

President Robert S. Nelsen predicts this year’s version will be “the largest Swarm photo ever done.”

庆祝活动将拉开一系列活动的序幕，并在春季的晚会上达到高潮。

Robin Carter, special assistant to Nelsen, is leading 75^th Anniversary planning.

“I couldn’t be prouder to take part in this special celebration of our 75^th Anniversary,” said Carter, a retired professor and former dean of 囊状态’s College of Health and Human Services. “I’m a living example of how an education at 萨克拉门托 State transforms the lives of students and those that they serve.”

去年，创纪录的9435名学生从萨克州立大学获得了学位。 Thanks to the University’s 完成四场比赛 and 两步通过 campaigns, more 囊状态 students than ever are graduating on time and starting careers in the region.

“Our growth over the past 75 years has been tremendous, not just in the size of our campus or the number of students that we serve, but also in the diversity of our student body,” Nelsen said.

去年，《美国新闻与世界报道》将萨克州立大学评为美国西部第四多元化的校园。根据自认为是这些群体成员的学生比例，该大学被指定为西班牙裔服务机构、亚裔美国人和美洲原住民太平洋岛民服务机构。

“What has not changed in 75 years is our focus on being a student-centered University, and on being 萨克拉门托’s University,” said Nelsen.

“萨克拉门托 State has not just endured; 我们已经茁壮成长。 And we will continue to thrive as we transform lives.”

萨克拉门托大学对萨克拉门托市长埃里克·格拉来说意义非凡，他参加了参议院奖学金计划，并在博彩平台获得了两个学位。

“萨克拉门托 State has not only educated but significantly transformed the lives of generations of families like my own,” Guerra said. “Without the educational opportunities and skill sets that my brother, sister, and I acquired at this institution we would not have been able to change the course of or lives and economic situations in just one generation.”

“Like my family, I have seen generations of students benefit from their educations at 萨克拉门托 State. These alumni go on to become change agents in every industry, public service, local government, and community.”

The University continues to expand its influence through climbing graduation rates, wide-reaching community engagement, 努力实现公平、社会和种族正义, and in-progress projects such as the joint 博彩平台/塞拉学院/普拉瑟县学院中心 near Roseville, and the California Mobility Center, for which the 大学是创始成员之一.

Holly Tiche, an alum who chairs the 萨克州立大学基金会, said it is important to mark milestones such as the 75^th Anniversary.

“Milestones allow us to look back with pride on where we started, and where we are today, and they also allow us to look ahead to the future,” Tiche said. “I look forward to celebrating the 囊状态 of today, and all of the history that has happened in our 75 years. We have much to be proud of.”

On Thursday evening, 囊状态 will host the Northern California edition of 科罗拉多州立大学之夜 for anyone interested in learning more about the University or any of the CSU’s 23 campuses. 有关申请、经济援助等方面的信息将会提供。 活动定于下午5:30-7:30在学生会举行。
