A cocktail/hors d’oeuvres/dessert reception with short program, Radiance is CSU’s signature event in support of student scholarships. Over the past five years, Radiance raised more than $3.7 million, providing scholarships to 1,186 students in good academic standing who were at risk for dropping out of school due to financial issues.

This year’s event will include a celebration of scholarship with President Ronald M. Berkman and students, and presentation of the President’s Medal to Steven A.
