Otter Statue Campaign
It otter happen. But without your help it won’t.
A new, nine-foot-tall bronze statue serves as the heartbeat of pride for Cal State Monterey Bay and the place to start new traditions of selfies with the statue, touching the bronze paw for “good luck” and sharing our Otter Raft with our community.
At the base of the statue are a limited number of bricks available to cement your place in Cal State Monterey Bay history. Every engraved brick represents an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy and demonstrate the impact for the next generations of Otters.
There will be 5 levels of support correlating to a different size brick. Each level is accessible as a one-time gift or pledge payment over one or two years, depending on the level.
Brick specifications are as follows:
