A Brief History: Women in Engineering
Cal Poly Pomona is dedicated to recruiting, retaining and graduating female engineering students, supporting them with mentoring, networking and leadership development opportunities. Supporting these activities are three separate units: the Women in Engineering program, Femineers (K-12 outreach program), and the collegiate chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE). From 2007 to 2019, the proportion of female engineering students grew from 13 to 21 percent.
2002
- Cal Poly Pomona’s Society of Women Engineers is awarded Most Outstanding Diversity Program for the Region at SWE Nationals.
2014
- Edison International donates $100,000 to Women in Engineering. The program is renamed the Edison International Women in Engineering Program.
2015
- The Femineer program is recognized by the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.
- The “Engineering Girls–It Takes a Village” program invites girls and their mothers to live on campus for a week and engage in STEM activities. The summer program recruited families who experience housing insecurity and reveived funding from the California Space Grant Consortium and Southern California Edison.
2020
- The outreach program “Introduce a Girl to Engineering” receives an Inspiring Programs in STEM Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity.
Building by the Numbers: Student Health Services Building
The Student Health Services Building (SHS) serves to promote healthy lifestyles and academic success by providing students with quality medical, psychological and wellness services at little to no additional costs. Built nearly six decades ago, SHS provides a variety of programs and resources dedicated to topics like nutrition, sexual health, mental health and stress management.
