‘Discover SF State’ is the annual fall event to tour campus, meet students and faculty, explore academics and more
Do you want to be a San Francisco State University Gator? Visit campus for the annual fall open house on Saturday, Oct. 19, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. The free event, “Discover SF State,” is an opportunity for prospective students, newly admitted students and their supporters to meet peers and faculty, take a tour, explore the cutting-edge academics and facilities, and learn about housing, financial aid and Gator life.
"Discover SF State is all about giving prospective students a firsthand look at what makes our university such an incredible place. From exploring our campus and connecting with faculty to meeting current students and sharing a meal where they’ll dine as part of our community, we want them to truly imagine life here," said Camille Rieck-Armstrong, director of Undergraduate Admissions and Recruitment. "Our goal is to ensure students feel welcomed, informed and supported throughout their college search journey."
For 125 years, San Francisco State has been preparing the educators, workers and leaders California needs. Just this year The Wall Street Journal ranks SF State as the nation’s 20th best university for social mobility. The U.S. News and World Report’s 2025 “Best Colleges” list places SF State in the top 120 public universities nationwide and No. 204 overall. SFSU’s more than 280,000 alumni include numerous Academy, Emmy, Grammy and Tony award winners, notable social justice activists, scientists and business and civic leaders.
