For the first time, the California Orchestra Academy is holding its summer music festival for young musicians at CSU Monterey Bay this week culminating in two free weekend concerts, one at Cabrillo College and the other at CSUMB.

“We want any student who steps on campus who is first-generation to know that they have a strong support system at CSUMB.”

What began as a place where students could come to exercise creativity has grown into a social nexus as well.

This spring semester, 703 students worked on the CSUMB campus.

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.

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