Bronco Family Newsletter

Welcome from the Office of

New Student Programs & Family Engagement

Greetings Bronco Family,

As the Fall semester kicks off, we hope your students are settling in well and having a great start to their academic journey. It’s been an exciting and busy few weeks, with a whirlwind of activities from move-in day to convocation and CPP Fest. We’ve been working hard to create a welcoming environment and ensure we’re providing the support your students need to thrive this semester.


For parents of incoming freshmen, this is a significant time of self-discovery and growth as they find their place in the CPP community and we're here to support them every step of the way.


If you're the supporter of a second year student and beyond, it's a moment for them to reflect on the progress they’ve made and to reestablish their balance between academics, work, and extracurricular activities. We understand the challenges they face and are dedicated to helping them stay on track.


For supporters of transfer students, this is an exciting chapter as they reach the midpoint of their path toward a bachelor’s degree. We’re eager to help them integrate and make the most of their new environment.


We wish all your students a successful and fulfilling semester. As always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.



Sincerely,


The Office of New Student Programs and Family Engagement

Kellogg & CPP: A Surprising Link

Cal Poly Pomona, and this time, we’re exploring the intriguing links between cereal mogul

  • There are 7 letters in his first and last name
  • Kellogg built his mansion on the hill shaped like the number 7
  • He was born on the 7th day of the week of the 7th month
  • There are 7 rings around the Cal Poly Pomona Rose Garden
  • Kellogg brought 7 male and 7 female Arabian Horses to Cal Poly Pomona
