Parents' Weekend Set for Oct. 12-13


Parents' Weekend is an opportunity to meet Cal Poly's dedicated faculty, see examples of Cal Poly's hands-on Learn By Doing approach to education, get to know your sons' and daughters' friends and experience the lifestyle advantages that Cal Poly students enjoy while attending college on the Central Coast. Siblings are welcome, too. We've designed a program just for them -- hands on, of course.

Make your hotel reservations now. Then, check back in August for a schedule of events and to register. Registration is required to attend.
