2025 Summer Seminars

The weekly Summer Research Seminars will be held from 12 to 1 pm every Wednesday, beginning on June 18 through July 30, 2025. The seminar series will be interdisciplinary and provide an opportunity for Cal Poly Pomona students, faculty, and academic/industry guest speakers to share their research with the campus community and include students involved with research programs over the summer.

After the seminar series concludes, please join us August 7, 2025, for the 10th Annual Creative Activities & Research Symposium (CARS).

Attendance will be recorded at the beginning of each seminar so please make sure to check in. Please make sure to arrive on time for the seminar, attendees who arrive late may not be allowed in once the seminar has started in respect to our speaker.
