|  In
1961, a tradition of recognizing outstanding Cal Poly Pomona alumni began. What
started with only one alum being chosen annually for outstanding academic, professional
or community achievement has evolved into seven individuals nominated and chosen
by seven different colleges per year.
On
June 6, seven Distinguished
Alumni will be added to the ranks of those honored, including
a high-profile accountant, a USGA turfgrass specialist, and a retired businessman
and philanthropist, to name a few. Get acquainted with each of them in this month's
Alumni Spotlight.
