About


Student clubs are a vital part of the College of Business experience. Through clubs, students build leadership skills, professional confidence, and a sense of belonging—often discovering their voice and career direction along the way. Our student clubs support a wide range of interests, including Accounting, Finance, Agribusiness, Hospitality, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship. These organizations host industry speakers, attend conferences, compete in case competitions, and create peer-led learning communities that extend education beyond the classroom. Gifts to the College of Business Student Clubs Fund help remove financial barriers that limit participation. Your support ensures that students can access leadership opportunities, professional networks, and hands-on experiences that prepare them for success after graduation.


All university programs and activities are open and available to all regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin. Consistent with California law and federal civil rights laws, Cal State Monterey Bay provides equal opportunity in education and employment without unlawful discrimination or preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. Our commitment to equal opportunity means ensuring that every student and employee has access to the resources and support they need to thrive and succeed in a university environment and in their communities. Cal State Monterey Bay complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the California Equity in Higher Education Act, California’s Proposition 209 (Art. I, Section 31 of the California Constitution), other applicable state and federal anti-discrimination laws, and CSU’s Nondiscrimination Policy. We prohibit discriminatory preferential treatment, segregation based on race or any other protected status, and all forms of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in all university programs, policies, and practices.

Final Hours of #OttersGive! Support Student Leadership!

Dear Friends of the College of Business,

As Day of Giving comes to a close, I want to thank everyone who has supported student clubs today. Your gift strengthens the experiences that help students build confidence, professional identity, and lifelong connections. Student clubs are often where leadership skills take shape and where students discover what they are capable of achieving. 

If you are still considering a gift, there is time to participate before the day ends. Every contribution matters.

With appreciation,

Building Leaders Through Student Clubs #OttersGive

Dear Friends,

Thank you to everyone who has already supported College of Business student clubs today. Your generosity is helping students lead, connect, and grow. Student clubs create spaces where students practice teamwork, build professional skills, and engage with industry leaders. These experiences are especially important for first-generation students who may be navigating professional environments for the first time. If you haven’t yet had a chance to give, there is still time today. Together, we are investing in leadership, community, and student success.

Warmly,

Suzanne
