Prospective students can get information on housing, financial aid, the application process, programs and more.
With a record fall enrollment, Cal State Monterey Bay has seen more students than usual on its walkways and in its classrooms in recent weeks. That may be good preparation for Saturday, Oct. 5, when the campus will be swamped with prospective students and parents taking part in the annual Open House from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Students can take guided campus tours that include an up-close look at housing, dining and recreational opportunities. They can also engage in hands-on learning activities and demos offered by various academic departments to get a taste of what CSUMB has to offer and, hopefully, become inspired to enroll.
“I am excited to showcase our incredible institution,” said CSUMB President Vanya Quiñones. “I look forward to welcoming our prospective students and their families as they explore how they can find their place here. Our community has worked creatively to develop a top-ranked residential campus that offers outstanding academic opportunities, a supportive environment, and the ability for our students to move forward. I hope that during their visit, students and their supporters will discover why we value ‘The Strength of Us’ – our community – and what it truly means to be part of the Otter family.”
Highlights of the day include:
“We’re looking to showcase our strengths and offerings and really help prospective students to decide if CSUMB is for them,” said Kaci Turpin, director of New Student Programs.
Guests can park in Lot 59, with ADA parking available in Lot 19. Buses will transport guests to various campus locations.
This is the first year the university is holding two open houses. This Saturday’s event is for prospective first-year students. A second open house designed for transfer students (as well as first-year students who can’t attend Oct. 5) is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 26.
More details are available on the Open House registration page.
