A MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT HARRISON

Dear friends of CSU Monterey Bay,

In light of our outstanding new Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library, exciting and relevant academic programs, a strong and dynamic faculty, and other hallmarks of rapid progress, I can confidently say that CSU Monterey Bay is a university on the move. We are especially proud of our amazing students, whose accomplishments not only reflect well on our faculty and curriculum but also invigorate our commitment to every students success. This new magazine, which combines and strengthens our previous Campus Chronicles and Alma Otter publications, is part of a reach for excellence on all fronts. Sharing our story with the wider community around the region and across the state and the nation is one of many objectives in CSU Monterey Bays new 10-year strategic plan. The plan, which I formally approved in September following endorsements from both our faculty and student leaders, will steer our universitys development toward four major goals: Increase student success Continue to develop as a comprehensive state university Increase institutional capacity Attract, retain and develop faculty, staff and administrators Behind those goals is nearly a year and a half of work by my colleagues and community members. Detailed initiatives will support their fulfillment, benchmarks will measure our progress, and we will also stay flexible because change is inevitable. We invite you, our valued friends and wonderful alumni, to join us as we continue this historic journey.

What is your current home address? she drills in English, before coaching them in Spanish. Flores is a student leader in service learning who helps connect CSU Monterey Bays acclaimed Service Learning Institute, its students and faculty with a community partner in her case, the Salinas-based Citizenship Project. She has fulfilled her academic service learning requirement, which is expected of every CSUMB undergraduate and has chosen to extend her participation. The institute brings the universitys core value of service learning to life through a specialized curriculum, which integrates at least 60 hours of service with academic work and also yields a public benefit. The program is designed to instill a service ethic and support CSUMBs goal of preparing graduates who are cross-culturally competent and ready to embrace a pluralistic and globalistic society. Students also learn to see holes in the social fabric and face the challenge of injustice. Its not just having them serve soup in a soup kitchen, but teaching them about why there is hunger in our society, said Dr. Kathryn Cruz-Uribe, the universitys provost and vice president of academic affairs.

CSU Monterey Bay pioneered service learning when classes opened in fall 1995. Thirteen years later, the concept has been widely adopted at universities both public and private. But its one of only a few, including Harvard, that requires it for graduation. CSUMB remains a recognized leader in service learning, again this year earning high praise from editors at U.S. News & World Report in its Americas Best Colleges report. The Service Learning Institute is also making an international impact: Founding director Dr. Seth Pollack is completing a year in South Africa as a Fulbright scholar, helping that nation develop its own model programs. Likewise, said Dr. Deborah Burke, who is serving as interim director of the institute in Pollacks absence: The chancellor sees CSUMB as the flagship of service learning in the California State University system. Flores, a fourth-year student who was born in Mexico and lives in Castroville, said her work helping people attain citizenship connects with her own immigrant experience and with her goal of becoming a social worker. Its really important for me to help my people, she said.

There, Walker and others provide one-to-one tutoring during a power hour from 2 to 4 p.m. when youngsters known as members flood the center for games, a healthy snack, homework help and life lessons.

Weve learned along with them

Everyone connected with the Service Learning Institute takes pains to emphasize that it is not simply community service but is actually a leveraged educational experience. But that doesnt mean CSUMB students time, talents and energy dont make a tangible impact. Examples of concrete contribution by service learners include such things as developing legal handbooks for immigrants, painting school murals, teaching kids to read and launching an organics-based farmers market. One of the most celebrated efforts tied to service learning at CSUMB has been the Soledad Street Project in Salinas Chinatown neighborhood, where students are part of a synergy between efforts to combat homelessness and neighborhood redevelopment. Shari Hastey, executive director of the Montereybased Community Partnership for Youth, said that when her nonprofit organization first became a service learning partner more than a dozen years ago, she was excited just to have students help. I thought, Oh, good, warm bodies to look after our children, Hastey recalled during an Aug. 27 orientation meeting for community partners. How things have evolved since then! This is not just about the service learners meeting and tutoring our students, but also about how much weve learned along with them. Another change in perspective occurs in the minds of students, Dr. Burke said. A lot of students come in and they have this epic hero tale in their head: Im going to be Erin Brockovich; Im going to be Cesar Chavez, she said. I work with them a lot about just showing up in peoples lives.

A year in South Africa

Dr. Seth Pollack, founding director of the Service Learning Institute at CSU Monterey Bay, is blogging to document his year as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Cape Town and the University of the Western Cape. To read the blog, visit CSUMB.EDU/service. Here are sample excerpts since he left July 17: Sunday newspapers were filled with articles about his life and influence. Some activists were talking about their disappointment that he was so conciliatory to the whites. Many wrote that Mandela was the only person who could have helped the country move out of the hateful, repressive past, and that his conciliatory and ultra-respectful nature were essential at the time.

By Liz MacDonald

As his website says, Thomas Merrill has motor oil in his veins. The 21-year-old junior is working his way up the racing circuit between classes, driving a Pontiac GXPR for PR1 Motorsports, a racing team based in Fresno. Merrill, a business major at CSU Monterey Bay, grew up on the race tracks of California: Laguna Seca, Infineon Raceway, Thunderhill. His father raced Porsches as a hobby, and by age 8, Merrill wanted in on the action. I begged him to get me a go-cart for racing, he said. By 11, Merrill had won his first local title, and by 2006 he could boast two regional titles and two national championships. At age 18, he moved on to race cars. Following high school in Salinas, Merrill enrolled at Hartnell College in Salinas. He then accepted a spot with Ron Suttons prestigious Winners Circle Driver Development program out of Sacramento, where he spent 12 weekends each year learning foundational racing skills in classroom sessions and on the track. That program was focused more on NASCAR racing, which is popular in the mainstream, said Merrill, who has since moved into sports car road racing and open-wheel road racing. He didnt take long to make his mark. Merrill won his first ever Formula race on a wet track at Infineon Raceway, and he holds the 2006 Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Formula Continental Regional Championship as well as several SCCA track records. He credits his commitment, dedication and the ability to accept disappointment. Despite his many successes, Merrill said, There are more lows than there are highs. Though he loves to drive as often as he can, he said he recognizes that education will play an equally important role in his career, which is why he elected to transfer to CSU Monterey Bay and pursue a bachelors degree. The whole motorsports industry is driven by marketing and sponsorship, Merrill said, and these days it is often up to the driver to find sponsors. To be successful in racing you also have to be smart.

Exploring with the EEL

Students and scientists combine a broad range of scientific knowledge, practical know-how and a penchant for tinkering to invent new research tools.
By Liz MacDonald

Inside a cluttered workroom on the first floor of the Chapman Science Academic Center, countertops overflow with circuit boards, screwdrivers, fuses and spools of wire. Hunched amid the technological debris, several students led by Professor Steve Moore build new technologies to help reveal the natural world. Welcome to the Ecosystem Electronics Lab, home to CSU Monterey Bays own scientific research and development team. At one work station, Coastal and Watershed Science & Policy grad student Shane Anderson (09) helps his classmate Amanda Grant (09) string electronic sensors onto small foam buoys. The sensors will be positioned in Carmel Bay to measure ocean conditions such as light, temperature and water movement. Anderson is also developing an underwater camera to deploy alongside Grants sensors as a secondary method of data collection. Underwater cameras are commercially available but cost more than $5,000. Shane hopes his will come in around $500. Said Dr. Moore, With a $100,000 grant, you could place 20 commercial cameras in the ocean or 200 of our cameras. The data collected will later be correlated with seafloor maps generated by Professor Rikk Kviteks students and the movements of fish tagged by Professor James Lindholms A streaming-video students.

The result: usable technologies that allow scientists to better understand our world. Another favorite tool developed in the EEL is the ROVing

CSU Monterey Bays new Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library has deservedly received a lot of attention, but the campus on the former Fort Ord Army base is being rapidly transformed on many fronts. Progress over the past five years has included new classroom and lab facilities, a 708-bed student housing complex, a renovated student sports center, new baseball and softball fields, an aquatic center, a renovated stadium field house and the Alumni & Visitors Center. An expansive landscaped traffic roundabout, completed in August, visually connects the 5-year-old Chapman Science Academic Center with the new library, which is opening in December 2008. A building that previously housed the

library is being converted to a new center for student activities and organizations, and a remodeled and expanded central student dining commons is slated to open in fall 2009.

Executives give back

By Joan Weiner

How does philanthropy change lives and communities? The Executivesin-Residence program at the Foundation of CSUMB is doing it one young person at a time. More than 140 community leaders have volunteered to help open doors for students by providing mentoring, building relationships and offering financial support.
14 FALL/WINTER 2008
CSUMB.EDU/news

As a result of 20 focused discussions over the past year among the Executives-in-Residence participants from throughout Monterey County and beyond, two critical community needs emerged crime and literacy. It immediately became clear, said director Jim Bracher, that outreach to talented young people could help in both of those areas. As the first of many planned efforts, Executives-inResidence has established a scholarship fund called Pay It Forward, which provides financial support to firstgeneration students at CSU Monterey Bay. Recipients meet regularly with adult mentors and are asked to help guide young people at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County, who themselves will learn to help other youngsters. The students gain the means to complete their own education while acquiring the tools to make a contribution to others, Bracher said. Executives-in-Residence participants immediately stepped up with funds and mentors to make that happen. The scholarship program takes its name from the book by Catherine Ryan Hyde and the movie in which a boy tries to change the world by doing good deeds for three people and having them do the same. The first eight scholarships were awarded for this year to students selected by a committee of community leaders, including Tim McCarthy, a retired Salinas lawyer; Donna Ferraro, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Monterey County; Dan Ortega, Salinas police chief; and Bill Barr, retired Monterey County Superintendent of Education. The 2008-2009 recipients will have their scholarships renewed each year if they complete a minimum number of academic credits and earn a grade-point average of at least 2.5. Scholarships will also be awarded to a group of incoming freshmen each year.

private funding is absolutely essential, says Dr. Harrison
CSU Monterey Bay wants to make sure that private philanthropic support, so critical to the universitys ongoing development, is aligned with its strategic goals. With that in mind, President Dianne Harrison has announced a system of prioritizing gift opportunities to match donors interests with pivotal programs that offer maximum benefit to students, the region and the state. Private funding is absolutely essential in our work to advance our programs, facilities and capacity, Dr. Harrison said. We want to help our supporters make the biggest possible contribution to our ongoing development as a comprehensive university. During the past summer, she convened a special committee of administrators, academic deans and other faculty and staff to analyze dozens of gift opportunities submitted from across the campus.

The stations signal 90.3 FM was switched over July 13 from the previous facility on Central Avenue in Pacific Grove. The studios feature new state-of-the-art equipment to provide the best possible quality for the stations public radio broadcasting around the Monterey Bay region. Doug McKnight was appointed general manager in July, after serving as the stations development director for four years. Earlier, he was general manager and news director at KION-TV in Monterey, news director at KICU-TV and executive news producer at KGO-TV in San Francisco. All of us at 90.3 KAZU are excited about our new home and the additional opportunities that a closer relationship with the university brings, McKnight said. The stations two local host-producers are David Wittrock and Krista Almanzan. Wittrock, well-known to longtime area radio listeners from previous work at KBOQ-FM in Monterey, also serves as KAZUs operations director and traffic coordinator. He oversees Morning Edition from 6 to 9 a.m. weekdays, including local traffic and weather updates. Almanzan, who does the same for All Things Considered from 4 to 6:30 p.m., has worked at KAZU for one year. In 2005, she returned to her home state of California where she got her start in public radio as a freelance reporter with Capital Public Radio in Sacramento. The station continues to have the same news and information website kazu.org. Don Porter

Morning Edition local host David Wittrock presents traffic and weather updates in August at the new 90.3 KAZU studios at CSU Monterey Bay.

OLLI invites learners in

An unusual group of students headed back to class in late September at CSU Monterey Bay. Some are grandparents, many are retired and all are over 50. And they are defying the stereotype of older adults. Instead, the 200 members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) have signed up for more than a dozen classes on topics as diverse as international films, marine mammal biology and John Steinbeck and Robinson Jeffers. Some of the classes started in October; a few will get under way in November. There are no grades, exams or course credits. Spring offerings will include the mind-body connection and a

class on food and film, among others. OLLI at CSUMB is made possible by a grant from The Bernard Osher Foundation, a San Francisco-based organization that has funded a network of lifelong learning institutes across the country to provide innovative learning opportunities to serve the intellectual and cultural needs of older adults. Membership is $99 for a semester or $149 for the year, or participants can pay per class. A list of classes as well as enrollment information is available online at CSUMB.EDU/olli.

ATHLETICS

New on the court

By Joan Weiner

The athletics program at CSU Monterey Bay has taken a big step forward. Over the summer, the university created full-time head coaching positions for mens and womens basketball and hired Rob Bishop and Renee Jimenez to fill them. Bishop had been an assistant coach at Northern Arizona University. Jimenez was an assistant coach at San Diego State University. Both have ties to the California Collegiate Athletic Association, the NCAA Division II conference where the Otters play. CSUMB represents a homecoming of sorts for Bishop, who grew up in the East Bay and attended Livermore High. My mother and two of my sisters are still there and so are a couple of my friends, he said. Monterey is one of the most beautiful places in the world. When I saw the job opening I thought, Wow. Bishop, 35, earned bachelors and masters degrees at CSU Chico another member of the CCAA and then spent five years as an assistant coach there before moving to Northern Arizona. After a six-year stint in Flagstaff, he was ready for the challenge of a head coaching position. What I find most appealing here is that everyone from the president down has made a commitment to improve athletics, Bishop said. Its exciting to be in a place that wants to grow both the university and the athletic program. He took over a team that had won 10 of its last 12 games and reached the first round of the CCAA tournament. Theres still some excitement on campus about the team making the playoffs last year, Bishop said. Were building on that. Jimenez may face a bigger challenge: The womens team finished with a 3-24 record last season. Im familiar with building a program, she said. Ive walked into the same situation I faced in San Diego. At San Diego State, the team had only three wins in Jime-

nezs first year as an assistant. Three years later, the Aztecs won 18. This job is a true gem in the conference, she said. There are so many positives here a great education, a small school. Its a great place to start a head coaching career. Her experience at San Diego State equipped her for the challenges at CSUMB, she said. I saw something being built. I helped build it, Jiminez said. I see the same thing for this program. Its about changing the culture. A standout player at San Francisco State, she has coached against or played against every coach in the CCAA. At 26, shes the youngest head coach in the conference.
