Fresno added to university leaders’ visits to churches

Six Fresno churches for the first time will be visited by California State University leaders – most from Fresno State – as part of the annual CSU Super Sunday program that reaches out to African Americans throughout California.

Super Sunday, operating since 2005, puts CSU leaders in churches to talk with African American prospective students and their families about college, how to apply, what financial aid is available and how to prepare for higher education. From the original 24 church visits, the program has extended to 90 churches this year.

Here's the schedule of visits to Fresno churches by Fresno State officials (unless otherwise noted). Fresno State Outreach staff will be at each church to offer additional assistance and answer questions.

  • 10:45 a.m. Jan. 31 – Saints Rest Baptist Church (1550 East Rev. Chester Riggins Ave.), President Horace Mitchell, California State University, Bakersfield.

  • 9:15 a.m. Feb. 7 – Westside Church of God (1422 W. California Ave.), Dr. Joyce Ester, assistant vice president for judicial affairs and division planning.
