Giving to the College of Arts and Letters (CAL)
 As a public institution for higher education, the College of Arts and Letters (CAL) at San Diego State University is dedicated to providing a quality, affordable education to all eligible students. Historically, we have primarily relied upon state support for most of our budget, but due to the state’s increasing fiscal problems we can no longer do so. Funding has been reduced drastically, making private contributions from alumni and friends increasingly important, if CAL is to fulfill its mission of excellence in education, research, and service.
