SAN LUIS OBISPO -- Cal Poly's College of Liberal Arts has appointed Eileen E. Joseph as director of advancement.
Joseph took over the leadership of the college's advancement efforts on Oct. 4. In her new role at Cal Poly, Joseph will primarily be responsible for spearheading the advancement efforts of the college.
