Equity and Community Inclusion
SFSU’s Division of Equity and Community Inclusion facilitates intercultural dialogue, advances social justice and improves conditions on campus for all students.
We acknowledge that San Francisco State University and its campuses are located on the unceded ancestral homelands of the Ramaytush Ohlone and Coastal Miwok peoples. Indigenous peoples, ancestors and elders have never ceded, lost or forgotten their roles as caretakers of these lands. As guests we wish to pay our respects by recognizing their sovereign rights as First Peoples and affirming that they are still here.

From the Community
My refrain has always been: Don’t go to Yale. Don’t go to Harvard. Go to San Francisco State. It’s the only campus that looks like the world.
