The new campus boasts wireless technology, new modern classrooms, a larger library, a student lounge area and two "smart classrooms." The reception featured representatives from both local and state government who congratulated Argosy University on their new campus and discussed state higher education needs and the role that private universities play in educating tomorrow's leaders. Speakers included Argosy University President Dr. Greg O'Brien; Cecilia Cervantes, President, College of Alameda, and representatives from the Office of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and State Assembly Member Sandre Swanson. "We are excited to begin a new chapter in Argosy University's history in San Francisco," said Dr. O'Brien. "The growth that the university has experienced in San Francisco the past several years is primarily due to the addition of quality programs and a continuing need for well-prepared graduates in the fields of education, business and psychology."
"The new location was critical given our growth in San Francisco," said Sansing. "We continue to see interest in our business, psychology and education degree programs ranging from master's and four-year bachelor's degree programs to master's and doctorate degree programs."
