February 2026 Issue:
Bronco Family Newsletter
| | Welcome from the Office of New Student Programs & Family Engagement | | |
Greetings Bronco Family!
February is full of opportunities for students to get involved, grow, and feel connected on campus! This month’s newsletter highlights just a snapshot of what’s happening, including on-campus employment opportunities, financial literacy workshops, and scholarship resources to support student success. You’ll also find events focused on building community, learning new skills, and cheering on our Broncos at upcoming athletic events. With so many activities taking place across campus, we couldn’t include them all, so we encourage families to remind their student to visit MyBAR for a complete and up-to-date list of events. There’s truly something for everyone this month at Cal Poly Pomona.
Sincerely,
New Student Programs and Family Engagement
