Campus Visit- Cal Poly Pomona

Following the November Trustees meeting I was the guest of President Ortiz and Alumni Director Melissa Riordan. A very full two day visit including meetings with the Student Senate, Athletic Department leadership,Advancement team,the campus Farm and meeting with the Alumni Board.

Cal Poly Pomona Alum and Alumni Council Executive Committee member Jon Lundstrom and Alumni Council President Ken Stone also were in attendance at the meeting and provided the local Board with a very comprehensive report on the work of the CSU Alumni Council.

Obviously the financial condition of the State of California budget remains at the top of everyone's discussion list. Alumni are very willing to mobilize on behalf of the campus and are interested in hearing more about our work in Sacramento.

During the meeting with the Student Senate the discussion focused on class section availability and a visual presentation from the students about how the budget cuts are impacting the students at Cal Poly Pomona.

Many thanks to Melissa Riordan for an outstanding visit.
