Cal Poly Pomona is undergoing a major initiative called Prioritization and Recovery, and we want feedback from alumni like you. The P&R Initiative is a process that is evaluating each academic and support program on campus in order to find efficient ways to enhance the university, resulting in a proposal for university President Michael Ortiz.
