Gina Jacobs, Adela de la Torre, and Hala Madanat
San Diego State is more than a university. It is a city-shaper, a community-connector, and a global economic engine, led by three visionary women. Under President Adela de la Torre, SDSU has lifted student success to record levels, surged past $200 million in research funding, and secured R1 status. With Dr. Hala Madanat, vice president for research and innovation, and Gina Jacobs, who leads SDSU Mission Valley, the three are turning bold plans into reality: Snapdragon Stadium, a 34-acre River Park, residential projects to ease the housing crisis, a hotel, retail, and the Innovation District.
The future Innovation District’s influence stretches beyond your traditional campus. Through partnerships with startups and industry, cutting-edge collaborative research labs, shared facilities for community college students, and billions in economic and societal impact, SDSU serves not just San Diego, but all of California and its people.
