California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly)

Happy Saturday, Mustangs! A few reminders for spring quarter. For our students who are required to submit a pre-arrival test before returning to SLO, the test needs to be a molecular test specifically a PCR, NAAT or RT-PCR test. Details and how to submit: https://bit.ly/CPSalivaTesting Compliance testing begins Monday. Learn more about the blue campus pass and the self-screening process: https://bit.ly/CPTestingSpring...

The rise in anti-Asian hate and violence around the country is abhorrent and goes against everything we stand for at Cal Poly. On this Virtual Day of Action and Healing, uplift the Asian American community by sharing your commitment to #StopAsianHate. We encourage everyone in our community to learn more about this event, find additional resources and information on anti-Asian hate, and gain access to upcoming Bystander training by visiting: https://www.asianamericandayofaction.com/ Together, we are stronger. Together, we stand up for and with each other.

We hope you’re enjoying your spring break, Mustangs! We are committed to ensuring the health of our campus community and the surrounding public.

What does campus look like these days? We have your inside look at some recent happenings from 1 Grand Avenue.

Our Cal Poly Creamery has a new ice cream drive thru shop! On Friday afternoons dairy devotees can get their fix of Cal Poly ice creams and cheeses in a convenient drive-up format. The cherry on top? All of the money raised goes back into the bottom line: supporting salaries for the approximately 20 student employees, purchasing ingredients, and more. #LearnByDoing : https://bit.ly/CPCreameryDrive...

A beautiful day to #VOTE Remember the Robert E. Kennedy Library, Cal Poly Ballot Drop Box is located at the main entrance and is available 24/7!

Afternoons in the University Union

Cal Poly wine and viticulture lecturer, Jim Shumate, spent a week assembling 400 tiny bottles of the 16 student-made wines, mailing the sampling kits to the 25 students so that they could determine their own blends. He then blended about 400 cases by hand in the Center for Wine and Viticulture’s lab according to the students’ specifications. The result was a final selection of four wines two reds and two whites that each student could take home and claim as their own. #L...earnByDoing Cal Poly College of Agriculture, Food & Environmental Sciences
