Bronco Family Newsletter
| | Welcome from the Office of New Student Programs & Family Engagement | | |
Greetings Bronco Family!
Spring semester is an exciting time for parent and family engagement. We have some families who are celebrating their students admission offer from CPP, while others are supporting their student with future term enrollment, and finally, some families are celebrating as their student inches closer to their graduation milestone. Regardless of how you are supporting your Bronco, we are here to provide you with timely information and share events curated for you and/or your student(s).
March brings many opportunities for students to get involved, build experience, and have some fun at Cal Poly Pomona! This month features workshops, application labs, and a major fest designed to help students explore their academic paths and prepare for future careers. Whether they’re polishing resumes, mapping out next steps, or connecting with faculty and peers, there are plenty of ways to grow both personally and professionally. There are also plenty of opportunities this month to have fun and destress.
Sincerely,
New Student Programs and Family Engagement
