Traditional and Adaptable

President Bob H. Suzuki

Each fall, the start of the academic year brings with it a rush of memories. Generations of students have experienced the thrill of new beginnings, at the same time providing those of us who are part of it a renewed sense of commitment as well as comfort in a return to the familiar.

Although Cal Poly Pomona may not be the oldest institution of higher education in the region, it has its fair share of honored traditions. From the establishment of the W.K. Kellogg Ranch and the Arabian herd on what today is our campus to the first student Rose Parade float entry and the "learn by doing" philosophy that remains its educational foundation, traditions have sculpted this university into a respected resource of learning.

Yet while the university is traditional, it is also adaptable, a place where innovation and advancement are valued components of the instructional process. It is where faculty members can offer students not just lessons in theory but also the first-hand experience in service learning. Such are the traditions Cal Poly Pomona is known for and that members of the campus community are most proud of.

I hope that Panorama, now in its third year of publication, has become a favorite tradition with you, the readers. Its goal is to provide the information you need to make the most of the opportunities this university offers while creating a bond between your family and ours. We invite your feedback and welcome both your comments and suggestions for future issues.
