and changed the name of the mascot to the Seawolves.

The men’s soccer team and the men’s lacrosse club
team won national championships.

Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC).

We hired approximately 100 new tenure-track faculty

The new Osher Lifelong Learning Institute became
an instant success.

Hundreds of SSU students serve as volunteers in the community.
