TESTIMONIALS

“The CSUF team did an excellent job promoting the Silk Road Unity Festival.They canvassed North Orange County with flyers, created an informative social media campaign, and helped on the day of the event. I was impressed by their professionalism and appreciated their efforts. I find it encouraging to see students involved in their community and willing to pitch in!”
