Campus Life

Did you know there are over 300 official clubs and organizations at Cal Poly Pomona? From the Agricultural Biology Club to the CPP SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Design Club, you're sure to find a community of students that fits your interests and major.

Each August and February, we host an official club fair, where hundreds of student orgs take over University Park to recruit new students! All clubs and orgs are managed on myBAR, our student engagement portal.

Student government is part of Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), a nonprofit, student-led corporation. It consists of student leaders either elected by the student body or appointed by the ASI president to serve a specific function.

As a whole, student government aims to serve other students -- from lobbying on their behalf with state legislators to advocating for campus services and implementing fun events.
