The Division of Institutional Advancement is responsible for planning and directing Alumni Relations, CSU Foundation, Corporate and Foundation Relations, Planned Giving and the Annual Fund. We are vested with the responsibility of raising visibility, cultivating and strengthening lifelong relationships and securing financial resources to keep the promise of Central State University as the exceptional academic institution for African Americans in the Midwest. The funds raised provide scholarships, merit and need base aid to our students; support faculty, new academic programs and enhance existing programs. Efforts undertaken to achieve these goals are determined by the funding priorities as set by the University's Senior Administration.
This site has been designed to be your gateway to the University: to inform, connect and inspire you to engage in new levels of involvement, advocacy and financial support.
We encourage you to visit regularly to see the many other features that will be implemented in the coming months. We appreciate your interest and as always, many thanks for your support of Central State University.
