I love this part of the campus. It’s like the crossroads of a busy city, with everyone coming and going. You can feel the energy.”
Then and now California University of Pennsylvania is steeped in history. Founded in 1852 as California Seminary, it has transformed itself many times— first as a normal school, then a state teachers college, and a state college before becoming a university in 1983. The campus has grown as well, from a handful of buildings in Cal U’s early days to the 34 that stand today. While the stately older structures reflect the University’s roots, the many new classroom buildings and residence halls demonstrate the University’s commitment to technology and innovation.
INTEGRITY, CIVILITY, RESPONSIBILITY
