Brand Meaning

Our Brand Position

The CSUDH Brand represents the connection we have with our students and their families, our faculty and staff, businesses and employers, our partners, supporters and donors and the communities we serve. Our brand is how these various constituents see, know and understand our university — on an emotional and personal level, as well as a rational one.

As such, our brand must be consistently communicated, supported and reinforced with every interaction and at every touch point — across our university and beyond.
