Good day Seawolves,

Talk about a great time to be at Sonoma State!

I want to thank everyone who took part in the planning and execution of Big Blue Weekend October 2-4. Our campus was absolutely buzzing with activity during those three days, as Harvest Night on Friday rolled right on into Saturday’s Seawolf Discovery Day and SSU Palooza and Community Day, with Sunday’s Bingo, Bubbles & Brunch and Golden Grads celebrations putting a perfect bow on the whole package.

Dear Seawolf Community,

Sonoma State University is committed to fostering a campus where every member of our community is treated with dignity and respect and has the opportunity to learn, work, and engage in an environment free from discrimination, harassment, and violence.
