Giving Day has ended, but it is not too late to give! Click here to make your gift!

Our mission, to provide CSU student-athletes with a transformative experience, requires significant investment of time, energy and resources. We take our mission to invest ourselves in the development of CSU student athletes as people, students and competitors very seriously and call on all Cleveland State University stakeholders to assist us in these efforts.

Through investment and energy placed in our five core operating principles below, we believe our student-athletes will receive a transformational experience at Cleveland State University:

  1. Enhance the CSU Mission
  2. Attract Championship Caliber Vikings
  3. Develop Unprecedented Community Support
  4. Share Our Accomplishments
  5. Embrace Compliance

We invite you to take a look at the different projects our teams have chosen to highlight for Giving Day and support one of these important initiatives.
