The Rose Float

Unlike any other project on campus and across the nation, Cal Poly Rose Float is a shared program between two California State University campuses, Pomona and San Luis Obispo. The mission of the Rose Float program is to empower students to independently make decisions and employ several levels of teamwork to successfully complete a professional quality float for the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade.

Rose Float is the epitome of the Cal Poly Universities academic mantra of "Learn by Doing," as it represents the flagship national hands-on, co-curricular learning project. Working together, roughly 25 students in leadership positions on each campus work collaboratively to design a creative float rendering, engineer and construct innovative mechanisms and components, utilize harvested or donated floral/dry goods to decorate the float, and fundraise and administer funds to support the building of the float. Work conducted by students occurs over a 13-month span, culminating in a final float ready to be judged and considered for an award by the Tournament of Roses.
