🦦 It’s time for another round of Otter Opinions! 🎤💙💚

This week, we’re asking our Otters: What does CSUMB mean to you? 💭

Whether it’s community, friendships, new opportunities, finding where you belong, or something completely different—we want to hear from YOU! 🫶

👇 Write your answer in the comments below!

✍️ A stranger wrote something you might need to read today.
And maybe you have something someone else needs to read, too.

The Strangers Project is back at CSUMB—a nationwide art project built from thousands of anonymous, handwritten stories about life, identity, love, loss, hope, fear, and everything that comes with simply being human.

Some stories will make you smile. Some might surprise you. Others may feel a little too familiar.

That’s the beauty of it.
📖 Read a story.
✍️ Share your own.
💙 Leave a little more connected than you arrived.

Your story doesn’t have to be extraordinary to matter. Write about a defining moment, something you’ve never said out loud, what’s on your mind today, or whatever feels worth putting on paper.

📍 Experience The Strangers Project on the 3rd Floor of your Otter Student Union.
Ready to add your voice? Stop by the OSU Information Desk for instructions on submitting your story.

Real stories. Real paper. Real people.

🦦 Thursdays are for Otter Spirit!

Free food? Music? Activities? A reason to wear your favorite Otter gear? Sounds like an Otter Thursday to us. 💙

Every Thursday, we’re bringing the CSUMB community together at the OSU Main Quad Plaza from 11:30 AM–1:30 PM for our weekly pep rally. Stop by between classes, grab some free food, connect with campus partners, hang out with friends, and see what we have planned for the week.

And here’s the best part: Otter Thursday changes every week! 👀 Different food, different activities, different campus partners—so coming once definitely doesn’t mean you’ve seen it all.

👕 Throw on your Otter gear
🦦 Bring your Otter Spirit
👯 Grab your friends
🕦 Thursdays | 11:30 AM–1:30 PM
📍 OSU Main Quad Plaza

Keep an eye on Otter Student Union (OSU) and MyRaft each week to find out what food, activities, and campus partners are coming next.

Make Thursdays an Otter tradition.
