Meet Our Staff
At CSU, we help you find an experience that is all your own and feel at home among our diverse campus community. Not only are our students diverse, but a remarkable 73% of our faculty and staff are people of color. On our safe, residential campus on Chicago’s South Side, you’ll find many ways to get involved—including more than 60 student organizations, 15 Division 1 athletics programs, ample student-led research opportunities, and Greek life.
CSU has all the offerings of a large university but much like a small college, you'll receive personal attention and guidance from faculty and staff to help you achieve success because we are proud to support today’s dedicated scholars on their journey into a bright future.
The Admissions Office is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm
Call our staff directly or email the Office of Admissions at ug-admissions@csu.edu.
