CSUN Librarians Legacy Endowment
The CSUN Librarians Legacy Endowment was established by an anonymous donor in honor of CSUN librarians' continued success in meeting the growing institutional challenges and technological opportunities that accompany academic research and librarianship. This endowment supports a paid internship for Collection, Access and Management Services (CAMS), in recognition of CSUN librarians' ongoing achievements and in remembering the careers of recently retired and departed Library faculty.
If you are interested in donating to the endowment, please contact Tarry Kang, at 818-677-5146 or tarry.kang@csun.edu
