Where to Find Campus News and Events on the SDSU Website

Updated

The SDSU homepage (sdsu.edu) is the fastest starting point: it carries a CAMPUS NEWS section, an Events listing, and an Arts & Culture block, with a Newscenter link for the full news feed. Use the homepage for a quick scan of what's happening now, and the Newscenter when you want the complete story rather than a headline.

News: Two Levels of Detail

CAMPUS NEWS on the homepage

The homepage's CAMPUS NEWS section surfaces current stories with a headline and short lead. Recent examples shown there include SDSU's shipbuilding research projects with South Korea and Samsung Heavy Industries, the opening of the One Water Lab at SDSU Mission Valley, and a student recognized with a CSU trustees' award. This section is best for a fast overview of what the university is currently publicizing.

Newscenter

The Newscenter link takes you to the fuller news destination. Use it when a homepage headline interests you and you want the complete article, or when you're looking for coverage beyond the handful of items featured on the homepage.

Events: What's Listed and How It's Organized

The homepage Events section lists university events with titles and start times. The listing covers lectures, workshops, screenings, and artistic performances, and each entry shows a date and time — for example, a mindfulness skills session at 3:00 PM, and evening concerts at 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM on consecutive days. A See All Events link opens the broader calendar.

To use it:

  1. Scan the homepage Events block for the next few days.
  2. Note the date and start time shown next to each title.
  3. Follow See All Events if nothing on the short list fits your schedule.

Arts & Culture

A separate Arts & Culture block points to university events including lectures, workshops, screenings, and artistic performances. If your interest is cultural programming rather than general campus news, start here rather than in CAMPUS NEWS.

Campus Context Alongside the News

Two other homepage sections help you interpret what you're reading. The Aztec Experience and Admissions cover campus life and applying, and the SPOTLIGHT area carries time-sensitive notices — it currently states that applications are open through November 30, 2026 for Fall 2027 admission. If a news item or event raises a question about studying at SDSU, those sections are the natural next click.

One practical note: the homepage mixes evergreen material (degree counts, alumni network, research funding) with dated items (event times, application windows). Check the date and time attached to any listing before planning around it, since the homepage does not always mark how recently a story was posted.
