Hello, my name is Sara Collins! I’m a sophomore at SFSU, majoring in classics and minoring in anthropology!

This job has given me an opportunity to give back to a school that I feel has given me an irreplaceable sense of self.

I chose SFSU for a chance to fall in love with the city of San Francisco as I love exploring and for the amount of diversity it offers.

Becca Wilson
Hi! I’m Becca Wilson, (any pronouns), a senior majoring in Sociology. I am also really interested in cinema, my minor. I went to SF State because it offers a wide variety of majors and classes to figure out what you want to do, maybe something you never expected to. The people here are dedicated to helping the students do whatever they set their minds to. That, and being located in San Francisco means it is a bus ride away from all sorts of exciting places.
Jamal Howard
Hello, everyone. My name is Jamal Howard, and I'm a first-year student at SFSU. I'm majoring in International Business and minoring in Communications.

I became a tour guide to showcase the fascinating stories and facts that SFSU has to offer to everyone.
