Mission

It is our mission to provide a supportive environment for Cal Poly Pomona students with disabilities by using campus resources for student success, engagement, and retention. 

Vision

It is our vision to equip DRC students with the appropriate skills for their academic success. Examples of these skills include, but are not limited to time management, studying and notetaking skills, advising support, and self-regulation skills.

Meet our new Bronco Access Mentor, Aliya!

Hey hey! I’m Aliya Patterson. I’m currently a Communications major, and I transferred to CPP last Fall to finish my Bachelors degree. I am passionate about being a helping hand to others, which fulfills my life because I know I’m having a positive impact. I love a good conversation, and things I love to talk about are memes, pugs, matcha, Criminal Minds, astrology (I’m a Virgo), music, fun facts, The Sims and other games, escape rooms, and more. Once you meet me, you’ll get a good understanding of who I am in 7.2 seconds. Heads up: I might be the only person in 2024 still using the word “yolo.” (It needs to have a comeback). After school, I plan to become a Speech Language Pathologist for children. Although I haven’t been a part of any clubs yet, I do plan to. I look forward to being a positive contributor to the DRC and to my peers. Thank you for your time and hope to chat with you soon!

Meet our new Bronco Access Mentor, Stephanie!

Hello, I’m Stephanie Flores and I am thrilled to be a part of the Disability Resource Center as a peer mentor. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies as well as my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential which I received through Cal Poly Pomona. I am also currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. Having been a student here for the past four years, I have a strong connection to our university community and am passionate about supporting and empowering students. Outside of work I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with my friends and family. I look forward to contributing to our campus community and helping students achieve their goals.
