While looking towards my rapidly approaching graduation date (I will complete degree number three from Cal Poly in June), it came to me that I really have learned so much while attending classes here.
And yet, the most valuable knowledge did not come from a textbook or even a PowerPoint presentation.
An electrical engineering sophomore passed away Thursday morning after being found unresponsive in the Poly Canyon Village on-campus apartments.
Favian Mora, 19, planned to graduate Cal Poly in 2011 and was a member of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers.
The Cal Poly Wheelmen cycling club is spinning its wheels no longer, coasting triumphantly to the state championship in college mountain biking at the West Coast Collegiate Cycling Conference Championships on Nov. 16.

There will be 24 exhibits and 24 different ways for Cal Poly students to see democracy – though not quite in 24 hours.
Democracy 24 will be on display in the Kennedy Library between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. today.
