ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog

The new commencement festival offers fun amenities and atmosphere to engage grads and guests.

This spring semester, 703 students worked on the ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog campus.

The Community Foundation for Monterey County has dispensed more than $800,000 to support students in ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program over the past six years. The funds were donated by the Gambord family. A lunchtime reception at the Otter Student Union on Friday, May 12, honored the Gambords and some of the 66 nursing students who have benefited from the scholarships they have made possible.

Eight students toured Post Ranch Inn, strolling in the dense forest, poking their heads into rooms.

Monterey Bay Equestrian Center brought a petting zoo with guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, miniature pigs and chickens – one of which laid an egg – to the main quad. A steady line of students waited up to 25 minutes to get a dose of fur and feathers on their fingertips.

Over the next few years, ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog will phase out the Rate Lock program in favor of a housing pricing system that gives new and returning students equal access to below-market-rate choices for living on the ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog campus.

The grant was provided by ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog donor Debbie Juran, who knows the kinds of struggles such students face.

The mini festival raises school spirit, promotes campus programs and athletics, and infuses fun into the campus.

When the pressure builds, there are healthy and effective ways to survive and thrive during Finals Week.
