 The 360 Tour

The 360 Tour takes visitors into the heart of SDSU to interact with people and programs at the point of engagement between the university and the community, impacting our present and shaping our future in San Diego and around the globe.

Approximately twice a month groups of six guests, ranging from business and community leaders to journalists, public officials and prospective donors, take The 360 Tour. It features a brief opening presentation by SDSU President Stephen Weber or another senior campus official, followed by a guided tour around campus via motorized cart. The tour features three stops where guests can meet with faculty and students in their facilities for about 20 minutes.

Jessie Knight, president and CEO of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, took The 360 Tour and found it had a profound impact on his view of the campus. "SDSU clearly has catapulted itself from being a good to a great university," he said.
