The Auxiliary organizations

     The Auxiliaries consist of three big businesses running different parts of our university as not for profit organization.These organizations control most aspects of the university that are not directly connected to education.

The three branches are:
Associated Students, Inc.
  • This is the student government side of the school.
  • They also are in charge of the USU, and the resturaunts and shops within the USU, including the game rooms and bowling.
Forty-Niner Shops, Inc.
  • They handle all of the commercial side of the university, including the bookstore the convenience stores, and some on campus restaurants.
  • As a non-profit, the shops reinvest the profits into the school, through scholarships and capital investments.
CSULB Foundation
  • They handle things that further the education, like research funding and grants for research.

      The auxiliaries were founded in 1956, and were created to relieve the schools of the duties that indirectly affected the education system at CSULB. By splitting these three aspects and having separate entities controlling them, it allows for a stronger focus to be put on each auxiliary branch.
