Cal Poly Announces Completion of Most Successful Capital Campaign in CSU History
Cal Poly announcing the successful completion of its comprehensive philanthropic campaign. The Power of Doing: The Campaign for Learn by Doing raised more than $832 million, the largest fundraising initiative in university and CSU history. Nearly 75,000 alumni, parents and community members contributed to the record-breaking $832 million. Nearly half of this support is in the form of bequest commitments and will support our students far into the future. Private donations raised in 2020 alone totaled more than $156 million, making this fundraising year the most successful on record for Cal Poly, a testament to the value that alumni and donors place on a Learn by Doing education for students. While the campaign’s legacy will improve student experiences for years to come, it is already having a direct impact on campus. “The scholarship support I received provided me with exceptional and unique opportunities in science and research,” said third-year biochemistry student Byungcheol So, recipient of a Dignity Health Cal Poly Scholarship and Frost Scholarship. Many students are directly supported by donors through scholarships. Others will benefit from programs and learning spaces gifted by donors. Read more on Cal Poly News.

Formerly known as the Cross Cultural Centers, Student Diversity and Belonging is comprised of the Black Academic Excellence, Dream, Gender Equity, Multicultural, and Pride centers, as well as the Men and Masculinities Program. As a coalition, SDAB promotes the development and sustainability of diverse communities where the dignity and worth of all people are respected and affirmed through practices of equity, respect, appreciation and inclusion. The coalition challenges postures, practices and policies of bias and discrimination through an intersectional framework and work to create a campus where every student feels a sense of belonging and inclusion. For more information on SDAB, visit culture.calpoly.edu.
'Things Are Changing So Quickly.' Inside Cal Poly's Response to COVID-19
Get an inside look on the Cal Poly News site at Cal Poly's Emergency Operations Center (EOC), which was fully activated in March to bring together employees from divisions and departments across campus to plan and coordinate the university’s response to the pandemic. “Every area of campus needs to be involved because we need to consider all populations and all needs and all circumstances,” said Lanaya Gaberel, director of Employee and Organization Development and one of the EOC’s planning section chiefs. Task forces were created to work on a wide range of tasks: virtual learning, technology support, isolation and quarantine plans, conducting COVID-19 testing, responding to bias incidents related to COVID-19, supporting international students, determining how employees may return to work, supporting the county’s alternate care site at the campus Recreation Center, and creating a strategy to clean, disinfect and install signage throughout academic buildings for fall. On the academic side, six different task forces were created, with nearly 100 people engaged in planning. Those task forces include a provost and deans' group and others focused on virtual teaching and learning, fall planning, study abroad and the International Center, the Office of the Registrar, and study spaces.

Cal Poly Study Aims to Find Best Ways to Get Away from the Screen and Get Moving
With much of the country still staying at home to stop the spread of coronavirus, a new Cal Poly study on how to reduce the time spent in front of video screens is even more applicable than researchers initially thought. Sedentary screen time — watching TV, streaming movies, playing video games — consumes more than half of Americans’ available leisure time. Aside from work and sleep, Americans spend more time in front of their screens than doing anything else. All this sitting is far from harmless. Sedentary time increases risk for chronic disease, and previous studies have shown that sedentary screen time increases that risk more than other sedentary behaviors. Finding the best ways to get people away from their screens and get them moving is the goal of a new study led by Sarah Keadle, a professor in the Kinesiology and Public Health Department. Using StandUPTV, a smartphone-based app, Keadle and her colleagues at Cal Poly and Arizona State University will test three strategies: receiving adaptive text messages, being locked out of further screen time, or earning back screen time through exercise. Through these interventions and a self-monitoring routine, the research team hopes to help people cut their sedentary screen time by 50%. Researchers will also examine how reductions in sedentary screen time impact physical activity, sleep, diet, mood and disease risk factors. Read more here.
Loss of Eelgrass in Morro Bay Estuary May Cause Widespread Erosion
The large-scale loss of eelgrass in the Morro Bay estuary may be causing widespread erosion, according to a new Cal Poly study. In recent years, Morro Bay’s iconic eelgrass beds, which provide the estuary’s primary living habitat, experienced a massive die-off, declining more than 90 percent since 2007. Efforts to restore the eelgrass have had mixed success in many parts of the bay, and this seagrass is now only found near the harbor mouth and sporadically in other regions of the estuary. Seagrass systems are found throughout the world and provide many ecosystem services including fish nursery habitats, forage for migratory birds, nutrient cycling, carbon storage and sediment stabilization. “The loss of eelgrass in the Morro Bay estuary is analogous to the loss of trees in a rainforest,” said Ryan Walter, lead author and a Cal Poly physics professor. “Not only do you lose the plants, but you also lose all of the services they provide for the entire ecosystem.” Read more on Cal Poly News.
Student Success
Students Create Space Cybercrime for Virtual DEF CON Hacker Convention
Last summer, it was determined that hackers had breached NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena a year before, stealing data that included information related to a Mars mission. While the hack was discovered before more serious damage could be done, it revealed that the effects of cybercrime could extend even beyond the planet. It also inspired a space-themed hacker challenge that Cal Poly students created for this year’s DEF CON Safe Mode competition, Aug. 6-9. “Protecting data in space has become an increasingly relevant topic, so it’s exciting to work with something that has such tangible applications,” said Bree Zedar (pictured), a mechanical engineering senior from Marina del Rey, who created the storyboard and puzzles for the challenge. DEF CON, held annually in Las Vegas, is one of the largest hacker conventions in the world. This year, the convention — which usually features speakers and challenges related to cybersecurity — will be held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Read more here.
Cal Poly Receives National Science Foundation Grant to Better Understand Structural Behavior During Earthquakes
Cal Poly recently received a grant of $340,374 from the National Science Foundation to purchase equipment that will help students and faculty better understand how buildings respond during earthquakes. The grant will fund the purchase of a unit consisting of two actuators with higher force and displacement capacities than was previously possible in Cal Poly’s laboratories, along with the hardware and software for automated control of the system. This dual-actuator system will be used to better understand the earthquake response of structures built and tested collaboratively by students and faculty members in the College of Architecture and Environmental Design and College of Engineering. The experimental results characterize structural performance and will allow students in the Architectural Engineering, Architecture and Construction Management departments, as well as students in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, to compare these results with predictions using theoretical models and computer simulations commonly used in industry. (In the photo, graduate student researcher Jerry Luong makes final adjustments to the axial load system before testing a concrete wall in 2019.) Read more on Cal Poly News.

Engineering Professor Will Review Scientific Innovations for National Institutes of Health
Mechanical engineering Assistant Professor Eric Espinoza-Wade, who became interested in rehabilitation engineering as a doctoral student designing technology for older adults and later working with stroke victims, will play a vital role in improving the nation’s health by reviewing scientific innovations for the National Institutes of Health. Espinoza-Wade said his appointment as a member of the NIH’s Biomedical Computing and Health Informatics Study Section, Center for Scientific Review, will also teach him how to better craft his own research ideas and proposals — and will help Cal Poly and its students gain valuable insight. “My role will allow me to stay abreast of cutting-edge research and will also allow me to remain aware of research opportunities for our students,” Espinoza-Wade said. “It will also allow me to discuss scientific achievement at Cal Poly with other experts in the fields of health and engineering and to make them aware of some of the exciting activities happening on campus.” Read more here.
Professor’s Research Detailing How Humans are Altering Tides Featured by BBC News
Every year, the Army Corps of Engineers sends the vessel, Yaquina, to Morro Bay to deepen the harbor entrance up to 40 feet. While that ensures boats can safely access the harbor, dredging harbors and building jetties there might also have changed the ebb and flow of tides into the bay, said Stefan Talke, a Cal Poly civil and environmental engineering professor who has published numerous papers on the impact human intervention has on tides. Talke’s tide research was recently the focus of an article in Knowable, which was then picked up by BBC News under the headline "How Humans are Altering the Tides of the Ocean."
