Bronco Family Newsletter

Welcome from the Associate Vice President, Student Experience


Dear Bronco Parents and Families,


Welcome (and welcome back!) to Cal Poly Pomona! Whether you’re a returning parent or joining the Bronco family for the first time, we’re excited to have you as part of our community as we kick off a new academic year filled with promise and opportunity. This summer, we had the pleasure of meeting many of you during our informative orientation sessions. It was a great start to building connections and sharing resources to support your student’s journey at CPP. For our returning families, we’re grateful for your continued partnership and involvement.


Throughout the year, this Parent & Family Newsletter will keep you informed with important updates, helpful tips, and upcoming events designed to keep you connected and engaged. We look forward to bringing you more ways to stay involved in your student’s experience.
