Priority One Coachella Valley, a nonprofit organization started last year by the city of Palm Desert to continue its efforts to make the local Cal State San Bernardino satellite campus an independent college, has launched a website and social media campaign.
The website includes a petition the organization is hoping people will sign urging state legislators and Gov. Gavin Newsom to make Palm Desert the site of the next CSU campus and opportunity to sign up to receive updates about the effort.
It also includes statements from local students and business owners on what they see as a need for a full four-year university in the Coachella Valley and the impact it would have on the local economy.
