Campus Cleanup Day

Wednesday, Apr 22 from 11AM–1PM

Celebrate Earth Day by joining us for our next Campus Cleanup as we work together to keep CSUMB’s campus clean, welcoming, and beautiful. All students, staff, and faculty are invited to take part, bring a friend and make an impact!

Support CSUMB’s commitment to sustainability and our goal of 90% waste diversion from landfill by 2030. By collecting litter and recyclables, you’ll help reduce pollution, protect local wildlife, and keep our shared spaces beautiful.

Team up with fellow Otters to remove litter from Main Campus, all cleanup supplies will be provided, and everyone is welcome to join!

Volunteers will be walking around campus, bending, and picking up litter, so wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. We also recommend bringing a reusable water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat to stay comfortable during the cleanup.

Questions? Contact Amanda Armstrong, Waste Engagement & Outreach Coordinator, at amarmstrong@csumb.edu

Santa Cruz Bake & Gather is a friendly cake and pie potluck where everyone is welcome. It is the intent of this event that at least one attendee from each group bring a cake or pie on the day of the event. All attendees are asked to register so we can maintain an accurate headcount, as space at this venue is limited. Whether you are an experienced baker or just giving it your best shot, this event is about sharing recipes, enjoying great desserts, and meeting your neighbors. No competition, no pressure, just good food and good company.

Santa Cruz Bake & Gather is a free event and open to all. Tickets are available at no cost. While donations are never required, they are deeply appreciated and help cover venue and event costs. Contributions can be made during ticket registration on Eventbrite or through our donation page.

Our goal is simple. To build community one slice at a time.
