As part of his tour of the California State University (CSU) system’s 23 campuses, Chancellor Joseph I. Castro visited CSUN on Dec. 2, meeting with university leaders, students, faculty and staff.

When he took the helm of the nation’s largest four-year university system in January, Castro became the first-ever California native and Mexican American to lead the CSU.
