Poly @lumni E-Newsletter JANUARY 2003

Our inaugural Poly @lumni issue, released in December 2002, was a success. We received an abundance of positive feedback from alumni who enjoyed reading about new happenings as well as old traditions on campus. In the new year, we look forward to getting reacquainted with former Broncos, fostering relationships with those already involved year-in and year-out with the university, and providing helpful services to our Cal Poly Pomona graduates.

Founders' Celebration 2003 - Join us on Feb. 9 as we partner to support the educational mission and future of the university. This special evening will also honor President and Mrs. Bob Suzuki's final year of service to Cal Poly Pomona. Support the university and enjoy an exclusive performance by legendary entertainer Paul Anka. Local television personality Stephanie Edwards will serve as emcee for the evening.
