"Vision," "diversity" and "service" are boldly displayed on banners that grace campus.

They are among the seven words chosen for display on the banners – excellence, innovation, partnership and community are the others – that replaced the original green and yellow ones.

In all, 60 blue, green and white banners have been installed around campus

The words were chosen to reflect the core values and attributes of CSU Monterey Bay, said Scott Faust, the university's executive director for strategic communications.

The old banners showed the university's web address. "While the website is an important communication tool, we thought people are search-oriented and we could use the space for something else – as a way to emphasize our values for the campus community and the larger community," Faust said.

Faust noted that the way-finding signs on campus have been replaced and some of the directional signs were changed to reflect a new traffic pattern.

"We looked at each of the directional signs to see how they were routing traffic through campus," Faust explained. "The long-range plan is to bring traffic to campus from Highway 1 via Second Avenue and Inter-Garrison Road."
