Mission

Cal State Innovate promotes innovative activities across the 23 campuses in collaboration with the California State University Chancellor’s Office. Under the direction of Chief Innovation Officer Michael Berman, Cal State Innovate enables the development and diffusion of new and effective strategies and technology to promote better student outcomes, improve the student experience, and create greater administrative efficiencies
