Cal Poly Pomona Honors Native American Heritage Month
Cal Poly Pomona will celebrate Native American Heritage Month during November,
celebrating the rich history and cultural diversity of the campus community.
CPP acknowledges and recognizes the Indigenous people who originally inhabited the land where the university is located. The university respects the tribes that are tied to this original land and aims to continually express gratitude and support for the Native American community during Native American Heritage Month and beyond.
We invite the entire Bronco community to these events, regardless of how they identify.
