Learn How The Alumni Office Can Support You!
Cal Poly Pomona’s Office of Alumni and External Relations is dedicated to facilitating engagement with our growing alumni community. We offer support in outreach for surveys, accreditation, announcements, newsletters, social media and event coordination.
Our team collaborates consistently with campus partners, including student groups, department chairs, development offices, and chapter leaders to enhance alumni engagement effectively. The following information outlines our available resources and collaboration opportunities. For additional assistance, please contact us at: alumni@cpp.edu
Hosting Alumni Events
Every year we collect and report information on how alumni are volunteering, engaging and attending events on campus. If your department, club or organization is hosting an event, it is imperative that you provide the alumni office with information about their visit. There are several ways we can also help make your event successful:
1. Provide parking permits for alumni
2. Provide alumni gifts to alumni speakers, volunteers, etc.
4. Assist in identifying alumni speakers/volunteers for your event.
5. Promote your event to a targeted alumni audience
6. Setup registration platform and invites to assist with collecting registrations for your event.
Please note that a minimum of 8 weeks’ notice for event planning is recommended so that we have time to send out communication, request parking, etc.
Communication
All alumni communication must be reviewed and sent through the Alumni & External Relations Office. As a 501c3, alumni privacy, data security, and adherence to the CA Privacy Laws are a priority. We do not provide data lists to anyone outside of our office. We would be happy to send out communication for on campus partners, departments, colleges, cultural centers, etc.
Steps to send out communication to alumni-
1. Fill out the data request form. Request takes up to 10 business days for the alumni office to receive the data. 2. Send content to the Office of Alumni & External Relations ebarron@cpp.edu or alumni@cpp.edu and schedule a send date to be placed on the communication calendar. A communication calendar ensures that we do not send competing messages on the same day. This avoids alumni receiving excessive amount of email.
3. Once reviewed, our team will send you a test email for final approval.
4. Email message will be sent out by our office.
5. Reporting information such as how many received, opened and clicked on the message available upon request.
Please keep in mind that all requests are subject to approval. Some messages may be better suited for PolyAlumni newsletter and/or social media posts.
PolyAlumni Submissions
PolyAlumni is on our virtual newsletter sent out nine times per year. Please email ebarron@cpp.edu to inquire about including your submission in an upcoming newsletter. Submissions are due the first week of each month.
Social Media
If you would like us to post your event or repost your work feel free to tag/mention @CPPAlumni. Our Alumni account is active on Facebook (3k+) and Instagram (3k+).
Mobile App: The Cal Poly Pomona Alumni app is free and available for download on the App Store.
Update Alumni Data
It is important for us to stay engaged with our alumni community and keep you informed of upcoming programs/events and volunteer opportunities. The Alumni Information Update form can be completed whenever there is a change in address or email. If you are an on campus representative and communicate regularly with alumni, please encourage them to keep their information up to date by submitting the info update form.
Alumni Volunteers
We rely on alumni volunteers in many ways. The breadth of wisdom and expertise from alumni enriches students learning experiences and provides excitement and confidence for future alumni. We couldn’t do it without you!
Alumni volunteers are expected to respect, uphold, and support the vision, mission and strategic initiatives of Cal Poly Pomona and the Alumni Association. Click here for more information about volunteer guidelines and expectations.
