A Note from the Editors

Leah Kolt


Editor Leah Kolt

Dear Friends:

Welcome to our first online-only edition of Cal Poly Magazine.

In this interactive edition of your quarterly magazine, you’ll find exciting coverage of:

  • June 2009 Commencement, including how some new graduates are already faring well in the job market.

  • A Mustang football player with a stellar set of vocal cords, who is equally at home on the gridiron and the stage.

  • How one professor is throwing teaching to the wind, preparing students for careers in wind energy production.

The new online Cal Poly Magazine is much more than just printed pages posted to the Web. The site now sports upgraded navigation, multimedia, links to interesting Cal Poly sites and other interactive features.

The current economic crisis poses a challenge for the entire California State University system and is forcing us to be more creative in how we continue to bring you information to help you stay connected with Cal Poly.

We’ve decided to view this challenge as an opportunity to make Cal Poly’s publications more state-of-the-art and contribute to the campus’ sustainability efforts by reducing our paper consumption.

We’ll continue to produce Cal Poly Magazine in print as well as online, but the frequency of our printing schedule will change.

Look for the next print edition this fall. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy our new online presence.
