The students form consulting teams and work like apprentices, closely supervised by a select group of experienced faculty experts.</span></span>

<brspan style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: medium;">Developed in fall 2013, Graduation Initiative 2025 was made to propose ideas to increase retention and graduation rates at CSUF.
