Anchor University Advisory Council

It is a working council comprising approximately 30 individuals appointed representing students, faculty, staff, and administrators from across all academic colleges and administrative divisions were appointed to serve on the Advisory Council. The seating of this Coucil was a true milestone in the University's efforts to establish Sacramento State as an Anchor University that addresses inequities and improves the quality of life in our community and region.
