The John M. Pfau Legacy Society
At the center of campus at California State University, San Bernardino, nestled at the foothills of the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains, you will find the John M. Pfau Library. A gathering point for students to research, learn, and invest in the world-class education that will allow them to pursue their dreams, the library was named after the university's first president who established a foundation and vision decades ago for the distinguished institution of intellectual and cultural activity that endures today.
The John M. Pfau Legacy Society, established in 2023, is dedicated to recognizing the visionary group of individuals who have chosen to support California State University, San Bernardino by including the university in their estate plans. Named after our first president, the society links its members to the legacy that John Pfau built by guiding CSUSB through its initial years, laying a foundation for the university to build upon and ensuring the ability to impact its students and community in the decades to come. By including CSUSB in their plans, members of The John M. Pfau Legacy Society are following his lead and laying a new foundation for the next phases of growth and impact at this great university.
