Invest in Our People and Culture

Our people are the foundation of Cal Poly Pomona’s success. Faculty create learning experiences that transform students. Staff provide the services that power our university. Students bring talent, determination, creativity, and purpose. Alumni and community partners extend our impact across California and beyond.

As we build the university of the future, we must invest in our people as intentionally as we invest in our physical and digital infrastructure.

Through 2030 CPP, we will strengthen a culture of inclusion, belonging, care, accountability, and service excellence. We want every member of our community to feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute.

A culture of care means building relationships, supporting one another, and creating an environment where people can do their best work. It also means pairing care with accountability, collaboration, and a shared commitment to our mission.

Our success depends on giving people the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to grow.

We will focus on professional learning, leadership development, employee engagement, recognition, and well-being. We will also work to strengthen staffing, support essential functions, and improve the infrastructure and resources that enable faculty and staff to teach, research, serve, and innovate.

By supporting our employees and creating opportunities for professional growth, we strengthen the entire university and improve the experience we provide to our students.
