SWANA Student Services supports Southwest Asian and North African students succeed and thrive at Cal State Fullerton. Our goal is to provide opportunities for students to engage in personal, professional, and identity development through events, activities, programs, initiatives, and inclusive spaces.  SWANA SS aims to increase the visibility of SWANA students on campus and connect with their unique experiences and needs to be able to advocate for their wellbeing, success, and inclusion in all aspects of university life at Cal State Fullerton. 

HELP US BUILD THE FIRST EVER SWANA RESOURCE CENTER AT A CSU!!!!

Your gift will support the creation of the first resource center for Southwest Asian and North African students within the Cal State University system. 

SWANA students have advocated for this space tirelessly for the past six years. Thanks to their efforts in creating a SWANA minor, establishing SWANA identities being captured by Cal State Apply, and engaging in leadership across campus, these passionate and dedicated students are close to achieving their dreams of being seen and heard and supported. The last piece of the puzzle is creating the SWANA Resource Center. 

Your support will:

• Ensure that the SWANA Resource Center has culturally appropriate and inclusive furniture and decor, creating a sense of belonging and community for students within the space. 
• Provide funding for key initiatives, events, and programs to decrease barriers to access resources that promote retention and graduation, help promote the personal, professional, and identity development of students, honor and celebrate their diverse cultural backgrounds, and to foster and inclusive and affirming environment for SWANA s.
• Contribute to the first ever SWANA recognition celebration, where SWANA graduating students will be honored by a ceremony with culturally inclusive food, performances, speakers, as well as have their accomplishments highlighted in the company of their family, friends, and community.
