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:

Still more give back to their communities by working in education and nonprofit organizations.
