A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:
Fresno State serves the richly diverse region
of Central California. The U.S. Department of Education designates Fresno State as both a Hispanic-Serving Institution and an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution. The institution, founded in 1911, has a total undergraduate enrollment of more than 20,000, its setting transects urban-rural areas, with the main campus accomdating 388 acres, alongside a 1,011 acre campus farm. The entire campus features a little more than 70 traditional and modern buildings, with the university farm being used for agronomic and horticulture crops, equine, swine, beef, dairy, poultry, and sheep units, as well as several hundred acres of cattle rangeland. Fresno State was officially designated as an arboretum in 1979 and now has more than 3,200 trees on campus. Fresno State also operates the first university-based commercial winery in the United States. There are currently two satellite campuses: the Visalia Campus and a Downtown Center at Bitwise South Stadium.

Museum No No
Satellite campus Yes No
Farm larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres Yes Yes

This is our first STARS reporting, and for now, we are focusing on the main campus itself. Future reporting will incorporate satellite entities.
