ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog

A new grant will allow researchers in CSU Monterey Bay’s Kinesiology Department to analyze whether increased time with an instructor outside of the classroom will improve student performance.

It may be years before the impact of the recently announced NextGen grants will make a difference in American agriculture. But several of the grants awarded to colleges and universities in the Monterey Bay region seem certain to quickly strengthen the ties between those institutions as well as with the local agricultural industry.

The annual New Student Otter Orientation is an important element for students who are beginning their ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog educational careers. First-year students went through their orientation June 22-24 and 26. Transfer students are scheduled for their turn July 13-15 and 17.

ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog’s agricultural plant and soil science program has received a $5 million grant to expand and offer an enhanced career path to graduating students.

U.S. Rep. Jimmy Panetta (CA-19) has secured $7 million for the construction of a new office for the NOAA’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary at CSU Monterey Bay.

“We want any student who steps on campus who is first-generation to know that they have a strong support system at ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog.”

What began as a place where students could come to exercise creativity has grown into a social nexus as well.

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.
