HR Games

2007 will be the eighth year that Cal Poly has competed in the HR Games, which uses a "Jeopardy" style format to stage an academic competition with teams from schools throughout California, answering questions based on the HR Body of Knowledge. Winning teams at the state level earn the right to compete at regional competitions. Last year's competition was in beautiful Hawaii!
Cal Poly HR students fielded their first team at the California HR Games in 2000, winning the ‘congeniality’ Award that year. In 2003, Cal Poly teams won both first and third place in the State, and went on to take second in the Western Region. Last year, one of our teams came in third in the State, winning us a trip to Honolulu!
