2012's CSU Super Saturday Draws Multicultural
Audience at CSUDH
By Staff of California State University Dominguez Hills

Held on Aug. 25, the CSU Super Saturday college
education day attracted a multicultural audience of
approximately 2,000 at CSU Dominguez Hills.
Representatives from CSU's 23 campuses, as well as other
colleges and universities, provided attendees with
information about admission requirements at their institutions and touted the advantages that a college
education will provide.
"The event is growing in numbers and diversity," said
Barbara Young, a consultant to CSU’s African American
Initiative. Young, who has been leading CSU Super
Saturday since its inception in 2007, says she is delighted
to see that the number of people attending the event is
bigger every year.
"We promote the event in community newspapers,
churches and schools. But word of mouth has become a
very powerful marketing tool," Young said.
Teachers, parents and students who have attended the event in previous years sign up again and invite their
friends and family to come with them.
Young said that news about the budget cuts imposed by the State of California on the CSU system and other
higher education institutions has not discouraged parents from seeking information about college. "They want
college access for their children, and Super Saturday offers them the most updated information directly from the
admissions staff."
In addition to academic and financial aid information, this year's Super Saturday featured two new workshops --
a panel of African American professionals discussing the educational path that led them to achieve their
employment and business goals and a workshop led by students and leaders of CSU’s Hospitality Management
Initiative, providing information about careers in hospitality and restaurant management.
