Cross Campus Collaboration

CSU The California State University Cross Campus Collaboration

Learn with Colleagues Across the CSU!

Many classes that were formerly in-person are now offered virtually. This gives us a unique opportunity to extend campus classes beyond campus borders and offer a new way to share professional development across the CSU!

If a reasonable accommodation is needed, please contact L&D@calstate.edu in advance (minimum of 72 hours is requested) and we will connect you with the workshop facilitator.
