New Student Orientation

Insert a description of the image here. Hello, my name is Duane J. Lindsay & I am proud to serve as the 14th Associated Students President!


Cal State Monterey Bay is a young, yet unique campus within the CSU system, and as YOUR AS President, I will fully represent all of my Otters as the voice of our campus! From your voice at the individual level and campus level to the community and state level… I have the experience, leadership and the right team of leaders to take our University into tomorrow. My “Dream” as your President is complex yet enriching but I vow to always put YOU, my fellow otters, first and “D.O.” what fits YOUR needs to create the best college experience an Otter can ask for! As the Associated Students is the recognized organization to represent the students, maintaining the perspective of student service is highly imperative. I believe that it is our responsibility to gauge student input before making decisions on the students’ behalf. Undoubtedly, I have what it takes to serve the student body and I relish the opportunity

We Are MB!
