ÐÔÊӽ紫ý

As COVID-19 continues to affect people across the nation, ÐÔÊӽ紫ý understands that prospective students are facing unprecedented challenges.

One thing has stayed constant for ÐÔÊӽ紫ý alum Lauren Cohen during her two decades at Monterey’s MY Museum: the art of play as an integral part of early childhood learning.

The ÐÔÊӽ紫ý campus will close for the holiday/winter break on Thursday, Dec. 24. It will reopen on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021, in the same pandemic-restricted limited capacity as the Fall 2020 semester.

While COVID-19 continues to spread distress across the country, and California is experiencing another surge of positive cases, the tide is also changing in the course of the pandemic.

Dear students, faculty, staff, and our community,

Just a few years after its founding in 1994, CSU Monterey Bay began a holiday tradition of partnering with non-profit organizations in the community and donating gifts to families in need. The coronavirus pandemic threatened to derail the beloved tradition this year, but the spirit of giving prevailed.

CSU, Monterey Bay campus, is closed from Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2019 through Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2020.

The California State University (CSU) is planning to return to in-person instruction for Fall 2021.

Debbie Juran, Foundation of California State University, Monterey Bay board member and adoptive mother of two ÐÔÊӽ紫ý Alumnae, established a planned gift for ÐÔÊӽ紫ý's College of ÐÔÊӽ紫ý, which predominantly benefits low income and first-generation students.

Martin Cisneros Jr. was one of ÐÔÊӽ紫ý’s Spring 2020 graduates who had to forego a commemoration ceremony due to the coronavirus pandemic. But he’s accustomed to navigating obstacles.
