CLSA Education Foundation CSUF Endowment Fund Donate Today to Ensure Tomorrow!
The CLSA Education Foundation has worked with CSU Fresno to create an endowment that will fund a fulltime professor licensed to practice land surveying in California.

CLSA Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 charitable organization Donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law
The Issue:
California has been steadily reducing funding for educational institutions. ● The CSU Fresno Geomatics program is considered to be small and is more susceptible to cutbacks or
elimination. ● Both professors that hold a professional land surveying license, are now retired.
The Need:
● CSU Fresno Geomatics program was the first four year surveying degree program in the nation and the first to become ABET accredited.
● CSU Fresno Geomatics has graduated over 700 students. ● Students graduating from the CSU Fresno Geomatics program have gone on to serve in many leadership
positions in the land surveying profession both in the private and public sector. The Solution:
● The CLSA Education Foundation has worked with CSU Fresno to create an endowment that will fund a fulltime professor licensed to practice land surveying in California. This will help to ensure that the CSU Fresno Geomatics program continues.
