Students have numerous opportunities to get involved at the Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies, beyond taking our classes. Students can conduct research or demonstration projects that advance regenerative principles. The Center offers student housing for graduate and upper division students, and a number of employment opportunities are available each year. All of these opportunities are open to all Cal Poly Pomona students, regardless of their degree program.
