  • Regional & Continuing Education is proud to present the transformation of the grounds of the former University Center into the Creekside Plaza, a beautiful outdoor meeting space and adjoining educational garden. Extending the natural space between Kendall Hall, Colusa Hall, Selvester's and the creek, the courtyard welcomes visitors through a trellised gateway into an open space of patterned brickwork. Planters of climbing vines, flowering plants and a variety of trees, along with concrete seating walls, provide a comfortable and beautiful setting to meet, take a break, or celebrate.

In addition to our campus venues, we have successfully managed conferences and events in numerous locations throughout the state of California and around the world, including Marseille, France, Cologne, Germany and Gatineau, Canada. Our team is fully qualified to think and act globally, as well as locally.
