Universitys largest school develops ethical leaders

A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT HARRISON

Dear friends of CSU Monterey Bay,

Fall is a time of great beginnings on campus. Hopefulness and a sense of renewed opportunity permeate the air for new and returning students, their families, faculty and staff alike. But the 2009-10 academic year has presented serious challenges. State budget cuts, employee furloughs and increased student fees have brought unfamiliar burdens and stress. And yet, we continue to educate our students, conduct research and scholarship, engage with our community, enjoy visiting guest lectures and performances, and move forward with renewed dedication to our enterprise. This issue of the CSU Monterey Bay magazine celebrates many outstanding accomplishments of our students, faculty, staff and alums. It also underscores the universitys growing importance to the Monterey Bay region, the state of California and beyond. The entire nation is facing an increasing shortfall in the number of college graduates needed to ensure economic health and productivity, particularly in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. CSU Monterey Bay is wellpositioned to address societal needs, guided by a highly focused strategic plan and the creativity of our faculty, staff and students. As we continue our development as a comprehensive university for the 21st century, I hope each of you will join me in efforts to restore and protect the resources that the California State University system needs. CSU Monterey Bay remains strong and dynamic as we begin our 15th year, and we will maintain our momentum. We are committed to the success of every student, and we consider you our essential partners. The Annual Report of Gifts included in these pages reflects the private generosity that is so crucial to our efforts. Together, we are educating the citizens and future innovators who, in turn, will contribute to a better world for all of us. Sincerely,

Dr. Dianne F. Harrison

Campus makeover continues to progress

Stunning renovation of student Dining Commons helps set the tone
By Don Porter

ike the bright orange poppies that appeared along Inter-Garrison Road this spring, CSU Monterey Bay continues to blossom. Approval of the universitys new Master Plan by the CSU Board of Trustees and a key agreement with surrounding communities will enable the campus to develop in support of its mission. Although loss of state funding has put a temporary hold on enrollment growth, CSUMB still looks forward to an expected total of 8,500 students by 2025. The new Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library has become a central landmark and gathering spot since it opened in December. And just as the library opening created excitement last year, the

opening of a completely remodeled and expanded student dining facility on the Campus Quad is this falls big news. Known as the Dining Commons, this $3.45 million makeover was unveiled on schedule Aug. 21, and it features an expanded eating area with restaurant-style seating and more efficient food service. President Dianne Harrison called the spacious, free-flowing design a stunning renovation of a no-frills dining hall left over from service as an Army mess hall on the former Fort Ord. The Student Center, which previously housed the library collection, served as a temporary food service site during construction that began in March. Now remodeling and furnishing of the center is complete as well, including a bike rental and service cen-

ter, ample seating and event space, offices for student clubs and a spacious game room. Other campus improvements include continued planting of California native and drought-tolerant plants and new banners and directional signs that feature the schools green and blue colors and Otter emblem. In October, the university and the Monterey County Business Council received an $180,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce to develop an Institute for Innovation and Economic Development. To be located on the west campus, the institute will integrate

the universitys research capabilities with practical knowledge offered by area business leaders to yield strategies and projects that contribute to economic growth in the region. Looking to the next few years, the CSU Board of Trustees has approved $40.6 million for a new academic building at CSUMB, although the project has been temporarily suspended because of state budget cuts. It will be located near the library on the new Crescent and house the schools of Business and Information Technology and Communication Design. We are blessed with an increasingly attractive central campus, Dr. Harrison said.

all academic disciplines how to write a research proposal, make a presentation, improve their communication skills and prepare for graduate school. Undergraduate research engages students at the highest scholarly levels by linking research, learning and mentorship to real-world experiences, said Professor Bill Head, UROC director. This translates to long-term academic success, self-confidence, persistence and career benefits. UROC has Dr. Bill Head received initial funding from federal agencies that include the U.S. Department of Education and the National Science Foundation, as well as private contributions and corporate donations. The Department of Education has offered CSUMB up to $500,000 in endowment funds through a dollar-for-dollar matching grant. The money must be raised by Sept. 30, 2010. Donations during this period have twice the impact on the program and twice the recognition value for the donor, said Mike Mahan, CSUMBs vice president for University Advancement. A matching grant from a government agency is very rare and is evidence of the high value placed on this program.

The local business community expressed a need for more accounting professionals, and the school responded, said Kathy Kobata, a CPA and partner with Tostevin Accountancy Corp. of Monterey who chairs the council. Im hoping it leads to more accounting students staying in the area. Businesses can also get involved by volunteering to become a Capstone client. At CSU Monterey Bay, all students must complete a Capstone or final project that sums up what they have learned. For business students, that takes the form of a business analysis. A team of students spends a semester analyzing a companys operations and strategies at no cost to the business. The business is required to commit 10 hours to the project. In return, it gets a professionally written strategic analysis of its operations.

Students leadership, service to be honored

By Liz MacDonald

On Nov. 13, CSU Monterey Bay senior Rachel Osias will be recognized as the Outstanding Philanthropic Young Adult at the 2009 Central Coast National Philanthropy Day awards luncheon. The program honors individuals who set the standard for community involvement. Osias certainly does that. A Service Learning Student Leader since 2006, she contributes to both her primary service site, the Agriculture and Land-based Training Association (ALBA), and to service learning action projects on campus. In the last academic year alone, Osias and other SL student leaders brought 80 local middle school students to campus for College Access Weekend, led drives that collected more than $7,000 worth of food for families in the Pajaro Valley and Alisal communities, and put together a Hunger Banquet, in which participants experienced and then discussed issues related to food access, poverty and gender inequality. Rachel truly connects her consciousness and values with her actions, said Professor Deborah Burke, one of her service learning instructors. An Environmental Science, Technology & Policy major with minors in both outdoor education and service learning, Osias plans to work as an environmental educator after graduation. I want to talk with the public and with youth about where we live and what is happening to it, and instill a sense of stewardship, she said. The Castro Valley native says her dream is to one day open a residential camp that would provide outdoor and environmental education, particularly for the benefit of inner-city and deaf children. This is the first time a young adult will be honored at the Central Coast National Philanthropy Day event. Established in 1986, National Philanthropy Day is celebrated in more than 100 communities.

By Joan Weiner

For the Bozzo sisters of CSU Monterey Bay, soccer has long been a family affair. My father was an assistant coach when we played at Salinas High and our youth coach before that, said junior Mikaela Bozzo, the older of the two. And our mom was our coach at San Benancio Middle School. We had to ban talking about soccer at the dinner table because we were so competitive. Mikaela, a liberal studies major who thinks shell be a teacher, decided to attend CSUMB because she wanted to be close to home and family. Younger sister Gabriella followed. Mikaelas my best friend, so I wanted to be close to her, she said. Gabriella is quick to add that she also decided to attend CSUMB to be part of a growing soccer program. Before this season, the pair hadnt started a game together since Mikaelas last high school contest in 2006. Ive always loved playing with my sister, Gabriella said. Weve played together since we were really little, so we know exactly what the other ones going to do. Its easy for us to connect and work together. We have a weird kind of bond thats completely different from the bond we share off the field. It makes our relationship stronger. Mens soccer coach Artie Cairel has now taken the helm of the womens team as well. The squad returns 11 players from last year, including All-California Collegiate Athletic Association second-team selectee Alyssa Matheson, who led the Otters with seven goals. With 17 new members, the Otters believe they have a strong foundation. I see a lot of promise, Gabriella said. I think itll be a great experience.

The Internet has sparked an evolution in college sports viewing, and CSUMB definitely is part of the trend. Colleges and universities across the country are video-streaming sporting events on their websites. The aim is to broaden fan support and make games available to athletes families and alumni outside the Monterey Bay area. Part of whats driving the trend is that the Internet has become the main communication tool in college athletics. CSUMB webcasts basketball and volleyball at www.otterathletics.com.

Calderon applies her passion to role as UFW vice president

As a national vice president and California political director for United Farm Workers, Merlyn Calderon (01, Global Studies) combines her education and experience with the perspective she gained as a child of farm worker parents in Salinas. Ive found my passion, she said. In her work on campaigns for immigration reform and farm worker rights, Calderon said she serves as a bridge between farm workers and elected officials. She traces this ability back to one of her courses at CSU Monterey Bay, in which she helped organize residents of the Salinas Valley community of Chualar in their push for uncontaminated drinking water. That class taught me where elected leadership and community meet to tackle an issue, Calderon said. After becoming the first in her family to graduate from college, she honed her policy skills, earning a masters in public administration from the University of Southern California and landing two competitive fellowships, one with the California Department of Consumer Affairs and the other with the U.S. State Department. Calderon has worked in Sacramento, Washington, D.C., and Paris, but she said she couldnt be happier with her return to the Central Coast. Being with United Farm Workers is what drives the heart, she said. It gets me going every morning. Liz MacDonald 16 FALL/WINTER 2009

Lifetime Giving
About Lifetime Giving societies
Some donors have been able to make special leadership gifts in addition to their annual gifts and are inducted into Lifetime Giving societies. All members of the Lifetime Giving societies receive an invitation each year to the Lifetime Donor Appreciation Dinner. Society levels are determined by the total of all gifts received by the Foundation of CSUMB during a donors lifetime. Corporate or business matching gifts are encouraged and will count toward the employees society membership.
