SACRAMENTO , CA, UNITED STATES, October 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Sacramento Semester Program at Sacramento State is celebrating 50 years of connecting California State University students with hands-on experience in California government and public service. Its 2026 Annual Impact Report highlights the program’s continued reach, student outcomes, and expanded financial support.
“The Sacramento Semester program has attracted high achieving scholars for over fifty years. The program is uniquely located in Califronia’s state capital, and has opened the doors to the rooms where decisions are being made to the diverse and vibrant students who choose to pursue higher education in the CSU system,” said Dr. Jaime Jackson.
The program’s impact extended beyond the semester, with the vast majority of participants reporting an extended internship, job offer, graduate school acceptance, or another professional or academic opportunity. Three students also continued their experiential learning in Washington, D.C., through CSU DC Scholars.
The 2026 Annual Impact Report is available online via Sacramento State’s College of Social Sciences and Interdisciplinary Studies Web page.
