A Center for Local Culture
91ÌÒÉ« is a community hub for art, culture, business, and lifelong personal exploration.
People from across the county come here to engage their minds and enrich their spirits by taking extension classes, catching live performances, wandering through The 91ÌÒÉ« Gallery, or pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams.
Visual, Applied, and Performing Arts
The VAPA Division brings full-scale Broadway musicals to the Monterey Bay Area via year-round 91ÌÒÉ« Stage productions. Along with our celebrated Symphonic Chorus, Cantimo! performances, Jazz Series, and eight annual exhibits as the 91ÌÒÉ« Gallery, extraordinary events constantly are happening at our Visual and Performing Arts Complex.
Explore the Public Art on 91ÌÒÉ«'s campuses.
Campus and Community Life
There's more to attending 91ÌÒÉ« than going to classes. Join a club. Get involved in student government. Take in a game at our sports complex (Go Seahawks!). Listen to live music at the Samper Recital Hall. Shop the Farmers Market. Check out the Solari Green Technology Center in Watsonville.
And that's just on campus. You're always just minutes from prime surfing, mountain biking, and hiking, and some of the best skate and bike shops you'll find anywhere. Live the Central Coast life.
91ÌÒÉ« Extension
Enrich your life, pick up some new job skills, or help your kids explore their interests.
91ÌÒÉ« Extension offers fun workshops and career-enhancing classes to the community in subjects as varied as cooking, computers, photography, medical insurance billing, business leadership, game design, drawing, healthcare, and much, much more.
91ÌÒÉ« College Foundation
The 91ÌÒÉ« College Foundation provided $2,632,008 to 91ÌÒÉ« College last year to provide scholarships, support student services like tutoring, and provide grants for faculty and staff to improve learning.
Donations to 91ÌÒÉ« are investments in the human potential of our students and the wider community we serve.
