Mission Statement
The CSU 5 consortium serves as a network of Innovation and Industry Commons for regional economic and community development in Greater Los Angeles. Through the alliance, the 5 campuses -- individually and collectively -- will be the place where regional employers and community leaders can access the most current research, resources and assets, develop collaborative research partnerships, and gain access to the widest range of integrated education and training options, from entry-level training through graduate education.
Vision Statement
The CSU 5 will be the national model of multi-university collaboration and innovation for regional economic and community development and service.
Strategic Initiatives1. Value Creation – The CSU 5, through its various activities, will create value to the campuses, to the CSU system, and our regional partners.Goals:- Partnering with K-12 and CCCs, facilitate key educational attainment goals with an emphasis on reducing/eliminating regional remediation - Engage in and support multi-campus research grant opportunities- Provide public space for policy discussions, conferences, workshops, related to regional economic development- Provide career ready graduates and alumni for regional workforce needs
2. Knowledge Transfer – The CSU 5 will facilitate new and applied knowledge transfer to the regional economy.Goals:- Prepare an inventory of assets and capacity (degrees, enrollments, grants, faculty expertise, specialized facilities, etc.) available to meet regional needs- Share industry and business analysis among various constituents (LAEDC, LA Coalition, City & County government, LA N Sync, etc.)- Participate in discussions of major economic development initiatives in the region- Provide a forum for sharing ‘best practices’ among the campuses on knowledge transfer
3. Knowledge Creation – The CSU 5 will identify and develop innovative solutions to address regional economic needsGoals:- Engage in community-based research projects in collaboration with regional partners - Develop and deliver current and new educational programs (degree/certificate/training) to meet the workforce needs of the region- Partner with regional entities (business & industry, non-profits, government) on contract and cooperative research opportunities; technology transfer & licensing; faculty consulting; incubation services; etc.

Is there a new era of collaboration in Los Angeles?
Dianne F. Harrison, President of California State University, Northridge, receives a newsletter from the Annenberg Foundation announcing the creation of LA n Sync.
A meeting was held on December 3, 2013 with the presidents and provosts from the five Los Angeles County CSUs to discuss a possible new alliance with leaders from the public and private sectors.
The five California State University campuses serving Los Angeles County create the CSU5, an innovative approach to engage their combined research, education and service capabilities.
Each campus president selects a “Guide” to provide responsive, effective and efficient access to the alliance to external stakeholders.
What is the need?Greater Los Angeles has resources in many sectors, including higher education, but has had difficulty bringing those resources together to collaboratively develop large scale plans for economic and community development initiatives. As a result, the region:
has difficulty securing major Federal funding for economic and community development initiatives;
faces economic development challenges that require a sustained collaborative approach to focus research and innovation, as well as workforce development, on the most promising opportunities;
must attract and retain new businesses and industries with an integrated and sustained support strategy; and
needs to draw and hold together its resources to grow core industry clusters, including aerospace, entertainment, fashion and apparel, biomedical and biotech, information technology and transportation.
The CSU5: Five Large Regional California State Universities in Los Angeles County
What are the CSU5 numbers? More than 12,000 faculty and staff
Approximately 200 degree programs (Baccalaureate, Master’s, Doctorate) aggregated into the following 20 discipline categories:
Over 140,000 students (combined headcount for graduate, undergraduate and doctoral students)
Over $138 million in annual research funded by regional and national funding agencies (based on the 2010/2011 academic year)
A combined operating budget totaling approximately $1.6 BILLION dollars
Agriculture Engineering Letters Architecture Fine and Applied Arts Mathematics Area Studies Foreign Languages Physical Sciences Biological Sciences Health Professions Psychology Business-Management Home Economics Public Affairs Communications Information Sciences Social Sciences Education Interdisciplinary
What are the implications for each campus? A case study from CSUN:
President’s leadership
Enhancing campus standing and enriching the economic development capacity for the region
LACI@CSUN Leveraging core capabilities
Faculty opportunities Partnerships Preferential scores on grants (IMCP designation – AMP SoCal) Collaboration on research among other campuses
