At Cal Poly Pomona, we are dedicated to providing our students with hands-on, experiential learning opportunities that prepare them for success in their future careers. One of the ways we achieve this is through participation in collegiate competitions and travel experiences across various disciplines, including cybersecurity, supply chain, HR, marketing, and more. However, the cost of these competitions and experiences often hinder our students' ability to fully participate in these transformative experiences.
