Alumni

Providing opportunities for alumni to remain engaged and connected with the Cal State Monterey Bay community and strengthen the University’s legacy of excellence.

The mission of Cal State Monterey Bay Alumni Relations is to provide opportunities for alumni to remain engaged, connected and give back to current and future students of Cal State Monterey Bay in an effort to support the mission of the University and enhance the well-being of alumni.

A Proud History

Since our founding in 1994, more than 30,000 people have graduated from Cal State Monterey Bay, entering the professional world empowered to become compassionate leaders ready to shape the future.

Among our many accomplished alumni are:

  • An Academy Award winner
  • A teacher of the year
  • A global wine industry executive
  • A New York Times journalist
  • A researcher at the South Pole
  • A lead LinkedIn web developer

Many go on to scientific research careers (some with the help of prestigious National Science Foundation fellowships), others become leaders in their communities. Some go on to create their own businesses in a wide range of fields—from technology firms, to restaurants, to organic farms. Still more give back to their communities by working in education and nonprofit organizations.
