— PARTNERS IN MUSTANG SUCCESS
Advancing Learn by Doing
We are an active supporter of Cal Poly’s “Learn by Doing” philosophy. Cal Poly Partners provides fiscal and administrative services to commercial units that involve student staffing and learning. From Swanton Pacific Ranch to the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, University Graphic Systems, and various agricultural enterprise operations, we facilitate hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for the real world.
Participating in research at the Center for Health Research has positively impacted my undergraduate experience. It’s equipped me with hands-on learning, deepened my research expertise, and further developed essential skills for my future career. I am grateful to Cal Poly Partners for their invaluable support in making our research activities a reality.
Cal Poly Partners touches the lives of students in so many ways — including discounted books at the Mustang Shop, coffee from a local roaster, and the opportunity to research phytoplankton on the Cal Poly pier. Their partnership with the university is central to the Cal Poly experience and to making Learn by Doing a reality.
