The Community Foundation for Monterey County has dispensed more than $800,000 to support students in CSUMB’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program over the past six years. The funds were donated by the Gambord family. A lunchtime reception at the Otter Student Union on Friday, May 12, honored the Gambords and some of the 66 nursing students who have benefited from the scholarships they have made possible.

Eight students toured Post Ranch Inn, strolling in the dense forest, poking their heads into rooms.

The festival takes place May 17-19 across almost every academic area of campus.

Monterey Bay Equestrian Center brought a petting zoo with guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, miniature pigs and chickens – one of which laid an egg – to the main quad. A steady line of students waited up to 25 minutes to get a dose of fur and feathers on their fingertips.

They are an instructional designer with a passion for teaching, and a science researcher interested in soft robotics.

They're each grounded and ambitious, hyper-engaged on campus and off, thoughtful, daring and well-spoken.

All of them are poised to continue to cultivate their curiosity and education after graduation.

“As president of CSUMB, my favorite part of the job is getting to engage with our students."

The grant was provided by CSUMB donor Debbie Juran, who knows the kinds of struggles such students face.

The mini festival raises school spirit, promotes campus programs and athletics, and infuses fun into the campus.
