What is the UC MBEST Centers relationship with CSUMB?
The UC MBEST Center is part of the University of California system and CSUMB is part of the California State University system. CSU San Jose and UC Santa Cruz both became involved in the reuse discussions surrounding the announced closure of Fort Ord in 1991. As our efforts have progressed we continue to explore opportunities for joint program development, partnerships with the k-12 community in our region, and joint development efforts at Fort Ord. CSUMB and the UC MBEST Center continue to work as partners in the Monterey Bay region, with CSUMB’s focus being primarily teaching and UC MBEST Centers being primarily research.
