ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog

At the start of the new year, on Jan. 2, ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog lent its vast Lot 59 (a fenced-in parking lot) to the Monterey County Health Department to administer drive-thru COVID-19 vaccinations to emergency medical services personnel.

One thing has stayed constant for ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog alum Lauren Cohen during her two decades at Monterey’s MY Museum: the art of play as an integral part of early childhood learning.

The ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog campus will close for the holiday/winter break on Thursday, Dec. 24. It will reopen on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021, in the same pandemic-restricted limited capacity as the Fall 2020 semester.

While COVID-19 continues to spread distress across the country, and California is experiencing another surge of positive cases, the tide is also changing in the course of the pandemic.

Dear students, faculty, staff, and our community,

Just a few years after its founding in 1994, CSU Monterey Bay began a holiday tradition of partnering with non-profit organizations in the community and donating gifts to families in need. The coronavirus pandemic threatened to derail the beloved tradition this year, but the spirit of giving prevailed.

CSU, Monterey Bay campus, is closed from Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2019 through Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020.

The California State University (CSU) is planning to return to in-person instruction for Fall 2021.

Debbie Juran, Foundation of California State University, Monterey Bay board member and adoptive mother of two ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog Alumnae, established a planned gift for ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog's College of Education, which predominantly benefits low income and first-generation students.

Martin Cisneros Jr. was one of ÌÇÐĶ¯Âþvlog’s Spring 2020 graduates who had to forego a commemoration ceremony due to the coronavirus pandemic. But he’s accustomed to navigating obstacles.
