The successful candidate for Provost will have the unique opportunity to join Cal State LA at an exciting time of transition as the recently appointed University President, Dr. Berenecea Johnson Eanes, creates a new leadership team that will be responsible for leading the University in fulfilling its commitment to access, academic excellence, student success, and social justice. The new Provost will also play a pivotal role in integrating Cal State LA with the vibrant City of Los Angeles and its surrounding communities. The University : Located in the unceded lands of the Tongva People, Cal State LA is one of 23 campuses within the California State University system. The University serves nearly 25,000 students and offers 71 bachelor's, 55 master's, and four doctoral degree programs. Situated in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County called “East L.A.,” the University serves an urban area comprised of mostly Mexican-American, Mexican, and Central American families. To the northwest of campus is the San Gabriel Valley, whose concentration of Asian/Asian Americans exceeds that of 42 states. Communities to the University’s south contain many predominantly Black, Latinx/Chicanx, and multiracial neighborhoods. Cal State LA is reflective of our diverse communities. In 2019, fully one-third of the students were low-income and first-generation and underrepresented minorities. A core belief that the University’s students are amazingly resilient, hardworking, and possess strength is externally validated by the findings of the Third Way national study that ranked Cal State LA first in the nation for upward mobility.

By bridging the gap between natural and social sciences, the UEC fosters collaboration with non-profits, schools, colleges, city governments, and neighborhood councils, aiming to strengthen community ties. Through education, research, and active engagement, it empowers individuals and communities to reimagine their role in the world, promoting collective and individual responsibility toward a sustainable future. Increasing Momentum through Partnerships and Community Transformation in Los Angeles (IMPACT LA) aims to harness students' inclination to give back to the community to help them develop as engineering and technology professionals. IMPACT LA has both extra-curricular and curricular components. The extra-curricular activities include the BOOST Program and the Golden Eagle Makers (GEM) club. Since its formation in spring 2023, GEM has grown into a diverse and dynamic group of approximately 20 dedicated interdisciplinary students working with local community organizations to improve people's lives. Likewise, The Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs is a nonpartisan, presidentially charted institute dedicated to the quest for social justice and equity, enlightened civic engagement, and an enhanced quality of life for all Californians. Former California Governor Pat Brown brought the Institute to Cal State LA in 1987. Today, the Institute seeks to sustain the vision and legacy of Governor Brown by promoting civic and community engagement, helping to advance an inclusive public policy, connecting with and energizing the Next Generation, and serving as a thought leader on vital issues for the region and the state. Cal State LA's commitment to community service is evident through its diverse programs, impactful partnerships, and ongoing initiatives. As the University continues to grow and evolve, it remains steadfast in its mission to serve and uplift the local community, demonstrating the profound connection between higher education and societal progress.

California State University, Monterey Bay Empowered by an inspiring Founding Vision Statement, CSUMB, as an institution, transforms students’ lives through a focus on student success and engagement in its regional community.

CSUMB currently has 194 tenure-line faculty and 298 lecturers, an alumni base of 24,000, and a current annual operating budget of $150 million. While CSUMB serves students from across California and beyond, 42% of the University’s undergraduates come from Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties.

The campus community prides itself on making world-class higher education accessible to traditionally underserved, first-generation, and low-income populations. CSUMB’s Founding Vision Statement guides the development of the University, which is envisioned as a comprehensive public university that values service through high-quality education. The Founding Vision Statement emphasizes service to the diverse people of California, especially the working class, historically undereducated, and low-income populations.

Monterey Bay and the Campus Monterey Bay is on the central coast of California, just two hours south of San Francisco. The bay itself is one of the largest marine protected preserves in the world and home to whales, deep sea anglerfish, and the sea otter, CSUMB’s mascot. The CSUMB campus is close to pristine beaches, oak forests, tidepools, and the Fort Ord National Monument. Monterey has ideal weather: Over the course of the year, the temperature typically varies from 44°F to 68°F and is rarely below 37°F or above 77°F.

The city of Salinas is the county seat and served as the setting for many of John Steinbeck's novels. The campus straddles the cities of Seaside and Marina, which are small, diverse communities where many students live and work. The history of the former military base is evident across the CSUMB campus. For example, the building housing the Visual and Public Art Department has made a studio and gallery space out of previously existing motor pool buildings. In addition to CSUMB’s main campus, the University maintains a presence in Salinas and Monterey, providing instruction and community outreach through facilities in downtown Salinas and the Ryan Ranch development in Monterey.

The campus community prides itself on making world-class higher education accessible to traditionally underserved, first-generation, and low-income populations. CSUMB’s Founding Vision Statement has guided the development of the University, which was envisioned as a comprehensive public university that values service through high-quality education. The Founding Vision Statement emphasizes service to the diverse people of California, especially the working class, historically undereducated and low-income populations. The statement further articulates a substantive commitment to multilingual, multicultural, gender-equitable learning. The ethos includes a culture of innovation in its overall conceptual design and organization in service to the economy of the state, the well-being of regional communities, and the quality of life and development of its students, faculty, and service areas.
