2012-13 VISITOR’S GUIDE Department of Intercollegiate Athletics 1801 East Cotati Ave. Rohnert Park, CA 94928 VISITOR’S GUIDE VISITOR’S GUIDE GENERAL INFORMATION Sonoma State University occupies 247 acres in the beautiful wine country of Sonoma County, in Northern California. Located at the foot of the Sonoma hills, the campus is just an hour’s drive north of San Francisco and 40 minutes away from the Pacific Ocean. Sonoma State University is dedicated to the liberal arts and sciences and is known for active use of technol- ogy. As California’s premier public undergraduate institution, SSU has a commitment to graduating students who have the ability to think critically and ethically and can effectively use information technology. Our relatively small campus of 8,000 allows for close faculty-student interaction. Sonoma State University is deeply committed to the teaching and learning of liberal arts and sciences. And we are proud that we have continued to develop a reputation for excellence. We were recently invited to represent California as a member of the nationwide Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges, a group of colleg- es dedicated to promoting the values of superior undergraduate education in a public college setting. We think this selection is a testament to our strengths and our mission: enlightening students, growing minds, and enriching lives. The six academic schools include the Arts and Humanities, Business and Economics, Education, Extended Education, Science and Technology, and Social Sciences. All six schools are home to several specialized aca- demic centers and institutes.

The philosophy of the institution and, specifically of the athletic program, is to provide the maximum opportunity for student participation in intercollegiate athletics that staff and resources allow. SSU is a member of the NCAA Division II and competes in the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), the premier D-II conference in the country with 151 national championships. Over the last several years, Sonoma State athletic teams have had much success including the 2009 NCAA Division II Men’s Golf National Championship and seven CCAA championships since 2005. In 2007-08, the Seawolves won a total three west region championships (men’s soccer, men’s golf, baseball), more than any other school in the region. With three national titles in their history, Sonoma State’s teams are routinely ranked among the top squads in the nation. Fan support for both men’s and women’s soccer teams is tremendous with the men’s team leading the na- tion in home attendance in 2003 and the women finishing third.
