A brief description of the programs sponsored by the institution to support underrepresented groups within the student body:

The Center for Student Success seeks to educate, empower and enable students to become effective and transformative leaders within and beyond the California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB) community. The Center will promote the value of learning and quality performance among students and staff, increase student retention, and will create successful transitions for students to productive and responsible participation in society.

The CSU Presidents' Council on Underserved Communities is comprised of 11 CSU presidents who provide direction and advice to the CSU system on issues affecting students and families in underserved communities.

TRiO Student Support Services provides supplemental tutoring, advising, counseling, remediation and other support services to first generation low-income college students. The aim of the program is to increase college retention rates and graduation among college students.

The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) was established through state legislation in 1969 to identify and admit students who have potential to succeed at California State University campuses, but who have not achieved higher education goals because of economic and/or educational background.

The CAMP Summer Residential Program is designed to help incoming college freshmen transition into university life. The summer program will equip students with the tools necessary to overcome the obstacles they face when attending the university. Students participate in educational workshops, have the opportunity to interact with instructors, university staff and other students and become acquaintance with CSUMB campus culture.

The mission of RISE is to enhance diversity in the sciences. We support and encourage under-represented middle and high school students from the Salinas and Monterey Bay areas to expand their interest and skills in science while providing them the tools and inspiration to attend college.
