CSUMB University Communications Extraordinary Opportunities | Page 5

STUDENT LIFE One of the only truly residential campuses in the CSU, Cal State Monterey Bay provides a rich campus life experience and vibrant community for students to participate in. The heart of campus is the Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library, a green-certified building (just one more example of CSUMB’s commitment to sustainability). It’s common to see faculty holding office hours in the coffee shop, study groups meeting in the skyboxes that jut into the upper levels of the atrium, and students bent over laptops in the quiet study zones on either side of the main stacks. The library is also home to the university’s robust range of academic support services. If a student is looking for a Spanish tutor, a time management workshop, or a new undergraduate research opportunity, all can be found in the Student Success wing of the library. When not studying, students can participate in one of the over 50 c lubs and groups, or burn off some energy playing intramural sports (dodgeball is a favorite). The university’s outdoor recreation program helps students take advantage of the variety of outdoor adventures the Central Coast has to offer – and rents bikes for getting around campus and into town by the day, week, and semester (another way to be green). The university fields 13 NCAA Division II athletic teams, and already the young athletics program has brought home a few championship trophies – including a national title in men’s golf in 2011.
