Student Center for Professional Development (SCPD)

Celebrate 40 Years of Mentorship, Leadership, and Impact

For four decades, the Student Center for Professional Development (SCPD) at the CSULB College of Business has been a lifeline for students with big dreams and limited resources. SCPD transforms ambition into achievement by connecting students with mentors who believe in them and experiences that prepare them to bridge the gap between academics and professional success.

Through impactful programs like the Corporate Mentoring Program (CMP), Community Scholars (CS), Junior Mentoring Program (JMP), the Business Professional Certificate (BPC) Program, and internship-focused career readiness initiatives, SCPD empowers students with the confidence, skills, and connections they need to thrive in today’s competitive business world.

Your gift can open doors that might otherwise remain closed. You’ll help expand mentorship opportunities, increase access to internships, and prepare students to step boldly into their futures.

Give today to the Student Center for Professional Development and help shape the next generation of business leaders, right here, Where California Dreams.

Thank you for your support of the SCPD!
