Not only did we welcome hundreds and hundreds of new students to our campus over the last two weeks during orientation, but our campus also participated in Monterey Pride, walking in the parade and tabling at the event.

Here is a picture of our Health and Wellness Center staff contingent who participated, including three of our staff from the Student Disability and Accessibility Center. Not shown is outgoing CSUMB Counselor Steven Goings, who served as Grand Marshall.

Hello friends!

Today is our Otter ! My team at the Student Disability and Accessibility Center is participating this year to raise needed funds to support student disability events, workshops and programming to increase their success and sense of belonging not only at the campus, but in the community.

We are excited about the possibilities, and can only do it with your help!

Any amount is appreciated. Thank you for considering! Please feel free to share.
