The Strategic Plan implementation committees presented goals that have been accomplished to date and additional progress forthcoming during the Strategic Plan Showcase, held Oct. 26 from noon to 2 p.m. on Centennial Walkway.

• A new Climate Action Plan for the SDSU is under development and a new senior sustainability officer will be hired by the year’s end to help lead universitywide sustainability initiatives.
• A new San Diego-Imperial Valley shuttle service is being piloted to more easily connect the SDSU and SDSU Imperial Valley campuses and to facilitate shared academic, research, and student engagement activities across both campuses.
• The Basic Needs & Wellness Toolkit for faculty, staff and student leaders has been implemented to promote and educate students about counseling, economic crisis support and overall wellness.
• SDSU has received federal designation as an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI).
• Eight heritage month celebrations were held in 2020 and 10 more are being held this year.
