  • Building a Holistic Approach to Career Advising: A National Opportunity for CPP
    Cal Poly Pomona was recently selected to participate in NASPA's On-Ramps to Holistic Career Advising for Student Success Community of Practice, a national initiative focused on integrating career readiness throughout the student experience. This session will provide an overview of the initiative, share why CPP was selected, and discuss how this work supports our broader student success priorities and the CSU Student Success Framework. 

    Participants will learn how the Community of Practice will help inform our efforts to better connect academic advising, career development, and student support, ensuring students are prepared not only to earn a degree but also to achieve meaningful post-graduation success. The session will also provide updates on the transition of the Career Center to the Office of Student Success and highlight opportunities for faculty and staff to engage in this work as we assess our current practices and develop a more coordinated approach to career readiness across the student lifecycle.

  •  CSU Systemwide Concur: Optimizing Travel, Expense and PCard Management
    Explore the new CSU Systemwide Concur platform and its key features. Learn how automated workflows streamline travel requests, expense reimbursements, and PCard reconciliations, improving efficiency, compliance, and the user experience at Cal Poly Pomona and across the CSU system.

  • Advancement 101: Building an Authentic Philanthropic Culture with Faculty/Campus Partners
    This session offers a faculty-centered introduction to University Advancement — what it is, how it shows up at Cal Poly Pomona and why it matters. Together, we’ll explore our institutional priorities and how faculty can help shape a culture of giving rooted in authenticity, partnership and shared purpose.
