Borrego, who previously served in leadership roles within the California State University (CSU) system and as the chancellor at the University of Michigan-Flint during the city of Flint's water crisis, returned to California with a vibrant vision for Stanislaus State's future.

In her homecoming to the CSU system, Borrego is leveraging her more than three decades of experience in higher education to enhance the University's outreach, amplify philanthropic efforts, expand the Stockton Campus as a regional comprehensive university and set the stage for her successor.

Borrego's leadership is informed by her own life story, overcoming early challenges as an emancipated minor to become a powerful advocate for students facing systemic barriers.

Note to the Editor: Interim President Borrego's dedication to creating a positive campus environment and her strategic vision are integral to Stanislaus State's pursuit of excellence. Her story is a testament to the power of education and the University's role in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
