California State University Stanislaus 10,000 Students and Hundreds of Geese!

Turlock California is the home of California State University Stanislaus.  (CSUS) The state legislature established what was then known as Stanislaus State College in 1957.   The school opened in September of 1960 at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds in Turlock.   In 1965 it moved to it's current 228 acre location in Turlock at the corner of Monte Vista Ave and Geer Rd.  In 1985 it was awarded university status and the name was changed to California State University Stanislaus.  

The fall 2011 student population was 9246 which includes 7921 undergraduate students and 1325 graduate students.  For the 2010-2011 school year  there were a total of 1806 degrees awarded.  Of those 1442 were Bachelor's degrees, 351 were Master's and 13 were Doctorate degrees.  

CSUS is the home of the Warriors.  There are several sports played there including baseball, softball, basketball, track, golf, cross country, soccer, tennis and volleyball.  CSUS is a member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) an NCAA Division II school.  The CCAA has 11 member schools from Cal State L.A. in the south to Humbolt state in the north.   CSUS was the host school for this years men's and women's soccer championships which the CSUS women won.  It was also the host of the men's and women's track and field championships.

CSUS has a beautiful campus that is very popular with the general public for walking, jogging, and bike riding.   There are several fountains, ponds, bridges and fields scattered among the buildings.  The large amphitheater on the campus is the site of many events throughout the year including graduations, concerts and plays.  The campus is also popular for another population.

California State University Stanislaus is home to quite a large water fowl population.   On a recent afternoon walk I noticed several species of waterfowl.  Most prevalent are the Canadian Geese of which there are several hundred among the various ponds and fields.   I also spotted Mallards and Mudhens and even a Snowy Egret.  Watching the geese flying in formation from one end of the campus to the other was quite impressive. 

California State University Stanislaus and the City of Turlock have been a great partnership for over 50 years now.   The campus is worth a look if you are ever in the area.  If you or someone you know is trying to decide on where to continue their education I highly recommend CSUS.
