Future Mustangs,
Welcome to Open House 2025! We are beyond excited to invite you to explore Cal Poly, a place where learning, community, and opportunity come together in a way you won’t find anywhere else. We are Cherokee Trent, Vanessa Tovias, and Andrea Hernandez, and it is an honor to serve as this year’s Open House Co-Chairs. Open House isn’t just an event, it is an invitation to imagine the possibilities of your future at Cal Poly, and we hope you leave feeling inspired and ready to take the next step in your academic and personal journey.
Open House is your chance to see Cal Poly not just as a campus, but as a community that will push you to grow, challenge you to succeed, and support you every step of the way. This is a place where you will be encouraged to engage in hands-on learning, collaborate with faculty who are invested in your development, and connect with students who are eager to make a difference. We want you to walk throughout campus and feel the energy that makes Cal Poly unique, an energy that is fueled by our core value of “Learn by Doing.”
As you immerse yourself in Open House, we encourage you to take full advantage of everything this weekend has to offer; talk to students, ask questions, attend events, and get to know people. For us, Cal Poly has been more than just a place to get a degree. It has been a place where we can make a difference, and a community that has helped us grow as individuals. We hope you too see the opportunity to be part of something extraordinary, a place that will challenge you to push your limits and discover what you are truly capable of.
We owe a huge thank you to the Open House Committee for their tireless work in making this weekend possible. These dedicated student leaders have poured their hearts and energy into planning events that showcase the best of Cal Poly. Their commitment and passion are a testament to the community you are about to join. We also want to thank the entire Cal Poly campus community for their support in welcoming you into our Mustang family.
We are thrilled to share this experience with you, and we can’t wait for you to see what makes Cal Poly truly special. We hope this weekend leaves you with a sense of excitement, purpose, and belonging.
