Principles of Community

Principles of Community At Cal Poly Pomona, we help anyone who dreams of success achieve it. We value academic excellence, experiential learning, diversity and inclusivity, student learning and success, community engagement, and social and environmental responsibility. In line with these values, we are committed to the following Principles of Community that shape our individual and collective character and guide our interactions with each other.

  • Practice Mutual Respect: We recognize the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, treating them with courtesy and kindness, actively listening to their perspectives and maintaining a respectful and open dialogue.
  •  Foster Growth: We support the holistic development of each community member, promoting and encouraging opportunities for intellectual, professional and emotional growth.
  •  Cultivate Belonging: We actively create an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, welcomed and empowered to contribute.
  •  Act with Integrity: We commit to the highest standards of ethical behavior, transparency and fairness in all aspects of academic, professional and personal life.

Through our Principles of Community, we reaffirm our individual and collective responsibility for creating a supportive, inclusive and intellectually vibrant environment where all can flourish.
