ASI Structure

Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) At California State university, Fresno is a 501(c)3 not for profit corporation and the recognized student body auxiliary organization at Fresno State. Auxiliary organizations exist because the state recognized the need for certain activities at the CSU campuses, but determined that these activities would be best performed by one or more not for profit organizations having a legally separate relationship with their respective CSU campus.
