CPP Named 2023 Equity Champion

The 2023 Equity Champion for Excellence in Transfer Award from The Campaign for College Opportunity recognizes the university as an Equity Champion for Higher Education for Latinx Students. The campus ensured that over half of our Latinx/o/a undergraduate transfer students from California community colleges in 2022 were ADT earners, and of those ADT earners, over half were on a guaranteed pathway.

Grant enhances Engineering

A group of local school districts, community colleges and Cal Poly ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ are the recipients of a $2.5 million grant to prepare more underrepresented students to complete college degrees and find careers in engineering and computer science. The PolyTransfer team regularly collaborates with local community colleges on summer academies, other grant projects and current student programming.
