University Affairs, Ceremonies and Events

Ceremonial milestones are an important part of campus life at Cal State Monterey Bay as they celebrate the hard work, achievement and success of our community.

Celebrating Our Successes

Each year, our campus community comes together to celebrate a variety of accomplishments, moments and success.

These include New Student Convocation, Honors Convocation and Commencement. 

University Affairs, Ceremonies and Events strives to make each of these events memorable and meaningful.
