Theme
Honoring the past. Serving the future.
Since 1917, men and women of the United States Army served their country at Fort Ord.
In 1994, we continued a tradition of service by making it part of our DNA in our Founding Vision Statement.
We see ourselves as "stewards of place," providing service to our region, state, country and world.
Stories
The Founders
Our founders were determined to build a university in a way others hadn't considered in the past.
The Visionaries
Our success is because key stakeholders saw our future when everyone else could not.
The Innovators
Our students and staff have brought a spirit of innovation to campus as well as sharing it with the world.
History
On August 29, 1994: "Hank Hendrickson, Executive Dean of CSUMB, is finally able to record the deed at the Monterey County Recorder's Office in Salinas…” We became “the legal owner of the property, and work on the buildings can begin."
