Fiona Ma was impressed with everything happening at California Polytechnic State University! Since 1901, their “Learn by Doing” philosophy continues to shine—students jump right into their majors on day one across all six colleges.
Great to see President Jeffrey Armstrong again and proud to highlight alumnus Victor Glover—the first African American to travel to the International Space Station as part of Artemis II.
Exciting progress on campus with 4,200 new student beds underway—ensuring housing for first- and second-year students.
Loved visiting the student-run Agriculture program—hands-on, innovative, and helping support the university’s operations. From the mares and foals at the Oppenheimer Family Equine Center
to a family of 17 leopard tortoises
—what an incredible learning environment!
Also meaningful to connect with students at the Veterans Resource Center and Guardian Scholars, and to have a thoughtful conversation with ASI student leaders on key issues shaping their future.
