Two words, that’s it: get involved. That’s all it takes to transform your experience at Cal Poly from awesome and life-changing (which it will be because, after all, we are at Cal Poly) to the biggest growing experience of your life.
Some people have been involved their whole lives at their elementary, middle, and high schools.
Saturday, Sept. 30, 2006, the Mustangs defeated Southern Utah University in a dramatic comeback from a 14-3 4th quarter deficit. The Mustang defense created four turnovers in the fourth quarter and the offense scored two touchdowns off those turnovers for a 18-14 victory in front of most of the survivors of the 1960 plane crash that took the lives of 16 players, a manager and a booster.
As the grandson of Ray Porras, one of the players who died in the 1960 crash, I would like to publicly thank the follwing people on behalf of the Porras family. To the Cal Poly administation and all involved thank you for the beautiful memorial, Hall of Fame induction and hospitality extended to my family this past weekend.

Clarissa Delgado kept her bike behind the Sequoia residence hall throughout her freshman year. She kept it with her back tire locked in the racks so she could easily ride away.
