Farewell and Best Wishes to our colleague Korinna Magaña
We would like to honor Korinna Magaña for her time and dedication to the Office of New Student Programs and Family Engagement. It saddens us that Korinna has moved on to another opportunity at UC Riverside, but we know that her impact here at Cal Poly Pomona will not be forgotten. We want to extend our thanks and gratitude for Korinna's dedication to ensuring families and supporters felt connected to our campus community. From orientation, to athletic games, the pumpkin patch and the first annual Green and Gold Block Party, Korinna was a true advocate for parent, family, and supporter engagement. We wish her well with her next professional endeavor!
