Vision Statement (pg 10-11)
• The campus will be distinctive in serving the diverse people of California, especially the working class and historically undereducated and low income populations.
• The identity of the university will be framed by substantive commitment to multilingual, multicultural, gender-equitable learning.
• CSUMB will be student and society centered and of sufficient breadth and depth to meet statewide and regional needs, specifically those involving both inner-city and isolated rural populations, and needs relevant to communities in the immediate Tri-County region.
• The programs of instruction will strive for distinction, building on regional assets in developing specialty clusters in such areas as: the sciences (marine, atmospheric, and environmental);
• Institutional programs will…seek ways to contribute to the economy of the state, the wellbeing of our communities, and the quality of life and development of its students, faculty and service areas.
• The education programs at CSUMB will:
o Invest in languages and cross-cultural competence;
o Emphasize those topics most central to the local area’s economy and ecology, and California’s long-term needs;
o Offer a multicultural, gender-equitable, intergenerational, and accessible residential learning environment.
• The university will provide a new model of organizing, managing, and financing higher education:
o The financial aid system will emphasize a fundamental commitment to equity and access.
• Our vision of the goals of CSUMB includes: a model pluralistic academic community where all learn and teach one another in an atmosphere of mutual respect and pursuit of excellence;
