Sonia Campos Assistant to the Director of Athletics

Sonia Campos joined the Athletics Department staff in September 2003. She has served Cal Poly Pomona’s students, staff, alumni and local residents for more than ten years.

As the Administrative Support Coordinator for the department, Campos provides assistance to the Director of Athletics while working extensively with student-athletes, department staff, boosters, and the Athletic Board. She is responsible for hiring, scheduling and supervising student assistants. Campos also helps to develop students as paraprofessionals (one of her most cherished responsibilities).

Committed to the Student Affairs’ themes of integrity, interconnectedness, passion, quality, richness of diversity, and student-centered philosophy, Campos treats every student as a member of her own family.
She began her tenure at Cal Poly Pomona as an on-call dispatcher at the university Police Department, handling 911 calls from students, staff, faculty, and administrators.

Later, as the Admissions and Outreach Office’s International and Graduate Admissions Analyst, Campos provided applicants with current international and university policies and procedures. She was soon promoted to Front Office Coordinator, where she supervised and led the Admissions’ staff in processing transcripts, applications and answering student and parent questions.

Through her service as a member of the Student Affairs Assessment Quality Team, and various university-wide committees, Campos has successfully aided the Division of Student Affairs in the development of curricular and co-curricular experiences for all Cal Poly Pomona students.

She resides in Walnut with her husband of thirty years, Gabriel. Her eldest daughter, Windy, a graduate of San Diego State University, is a Credential Counselor at Cal Poly Pomona. Desiree, an alumna of the University of Southern California, is the Director of USC's Topping Fund scholarship program. Campos’ eldest son Alex is a Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps and is currently serving in Iraq. Her youngest, Gabriel III, is a graduate of the University of La Verne. She is also a grandmother of two, Justin and Daniel.
