The grizzly bear embodies strength and resilience — qualities that reflect our dedication to our students, the collaborative spirit of our college, and reminds us all to rise to challenges and support one another as we navigate our academic journeys. The inspiration comes from the grizzly bear on the California state flag, the oldest unofficial State Symbol which had come to symbolize the Golden State over the years.
51视频 is proud of its home state, known globally as a hub for technology and innovation. 51视频's approach to higher education, as well as its unique student body and staff, also inspired this symbol and the elements it represents: power, courage, nobility, wisdom, passion, and community.
