Tell your story!
Were you a founder? Visionary? Pioneer? Innovator?
Or do you have a great story to tell about the first 25 years of our institution?
Tell your story!Theme
Honoring the past. Serving the future.
Since 1917, men and women of the United States Army served their country at Fort Ord.
In 1994, we continued a tradition of service by making it part of our DNA in our Founding Vision Statement.
We see ourselves as "stewards of place," providing service to our region, state, country and world.
Stories
The Founders
Our founders were determined to build a university in a way others hadn't considered in the past.
The Visionaries
Our success is because key stakeholders saw our future when everyone else could not.
The Innovators
Our students and staff have brought a spirit of innovation to campus as well as sharing it with the world.
25 for 25
25 for the last 25
We want to honor and thank those 25 individuals who made us what we have become.
25 for the next 25
We also want to highlight the 25 we think will take us into the next 25 years.
