Our hearts are heavy to share the news that today’s death was a student in our computer animation and game development program. Junior Zach Baggins, from Berkeley, passed away this morning, March 14. He was 20.

Our squirrels not only have fluffier tails than average (we do comprehensive tail-fluff studies), but Chico State squirrels are also stewards of the acorns of a recognized arboretum. Due to our proximity to downtown eateries, they also are, shall we say, more ... gravity-prone.

The Clothesline Project was made by survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The project, displayed near Glenn Lawn, serves to bear witness to survivors, aid in the healing process, and provide a safe place for expression when speaking out against assault.
Due to the quick rise of on-campus COVID-19 cases, the University is transitioning all in-person classes to virtual-only beginning Monday, August 31 for the duration of the fall semester. Most on-campus housing must be vacated by Sunday, September 6th.
To our black students, faculty, and staff— We hear you. We see you. We stand with you. You belong at Chico State—racism doesn’t.

Wildcats, we love you. If you would like someone to talk to (or a dog to cuddle) today, counseling services are available in BMU downstairs, The Hub, and the Counseling Center (SSC 430) beginning at 8 a.m. Off campus? Call 530-898-6345.
University Police and campus leadership are aware of an individual recently in or near Meriam Library asking potentially alarming questions. The subject has been identified and is known to law enforcement.
Some campus buildings have experienced flooding due to the heavy rains earlier tonight. A full assessment and cleanup is underway. Impacts to classes/campus business tomorrow not yet known. Updates to follow.
Views from University Farm. 🚜🌻🐮
Our agriculture students aren't the only ones who benefit from the 800-acre farm! It's also a key resource and partner to many local farmers, ranchers and other organizations, like 4-H and FFA.
#ThisIsChico
Happy first day of spring, Wildcats! We hope you're using your break to soak in at least a little bit of our nearby outdoor splendor.
The spring wildflower bloom at Table Mountain is a beautiful scene everyone should experience.
A special thank you to our hardworking Facilities Management and Services crews are working through the night to clean and dry floors to prepare classrooms to ensure no interruptions to our students’ education.

update from City of Chico Police Chief Mike O'Brien: "There is no immediate threat to the city of Chico right now. The fire is being kept south of Highway 32." The Chico State campus area remains safe.
Amidst smoky skies & heavy hearts, we've been buoyed by our Wildcats in action—we have heard countless stories of your volunteerism, donation drives, and unrelenting commitment to helping communities recover. During this season of gratitude, we are so thankful for you, Wildcats.

After much consideration, Chico State will hold in-person Commencement to honor the Classes of 2020 and 2021. Ceremonies will be grads-only, no spectators (streamed for families). Virtual department and program ceremonies for 2021 grads will also be held.
The majority of instruction for all 23 campuses including Chico State will be virtual for fall 2020, announced

California State University, Chico has once again been recognized among the top institutions in the West region and the nation.
@usnews
released its annual Best College Rankings for 2020, placing us at No. 9 on the Top Public Schools list in the West:
We are saddened and stunned by the news of the deadly shooting in nearby Tehama County. Our thoughts are with our neighbors at this devastating time.
The Counseling and Wellness Center and Zen Den spaces are open today for students needing support or a quiet place to regroup.
This is important—every student deserves proper nutrition they actually want to eat. Please make use of the many Basic Needs and food options on campus. They are here specifically for YOU!
❗️🗣PSA Chico State Students 🗣❗️:
If you are receiving EBT/Cal Fresh/SNAP benefits Urban Roots in the BMU is now accepting those benefits. They have sushi, salads sandwiches and a lot of healthy foods!
Scheduled to open in fall 2020, the new physical sciences building will support the highest quality science education, with state-of-the-art teaching facilities and equipment:

We agree. This org is not affiliated with the University and does not represent our values. While they may portray themselves as a Greek organization, they are not a recognized fraternity and we urge caution when associating with these orgs and events.
We're sad to share that 2018 will be football's last season. Humboldt State is proud of our current and past players, and our strong football history. Thank you to the community and everyone who has supported the program over the years.
After very careful consideration, Chico State is temporarily moving to virtual delivery of instruction and most services for the remainder of the spring semester, including finals week. Full announcement:

We rank No. 2 in the nation for graduating low-income students to successful careers thanks to dedicated staff like AVP Chela Mendoza-Patterson: "I believe you have to be fearless when it comes to serving students. Their success and our futures depend on it."
The campus Emergency Operations Center is looking at fire and community conditions. We are actively assessing and planning, and hope to update campus tonight on the status of next week. We appreciate your patience as we work to keep everyone safe.
Two thumbs up to all our Wildcats for finishing up finals today! You have achieved so much under the most daunting of circumstances. Congrats on wrapping up the semester—especially to our
