AI for a Better Future is coming to CPP on April 17, and a limited supply of free tickets are available for CPP students. All Cal Poly Pomona students in attendance will be entered to win an Intel Arc A750 GPU, the winner will be notified by email in the days following the event. Register to attend the AI fair today before tickets run out.

• Date: April 17, 2024
• Time: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Location: Bronco Student Center, Ursa Major, Cal Poly Pomona

The Cal Poly Pomona Artificial Intelligence Fair encourages participants to explore artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance academic success, reduce disparities, and improve social equity. By creating tools and applying them responsibly, AI can help end systematic inequality.

A new Bronco411 is arriving this evening

A fresh look for Bronco411, Cal Poly Pomona's campus directory.

Bronco411’s functionality will remain the same; however, centralizing CPP’s employee directory information within BroncoDirect means the appearance will change.

What to expect:

Hosting Bronco411 as part of BroncoDirect and PeopleSoft simplifies employee record keeping, removes duplication, and improves accuracy. For general information, visit About Bronco411, and employees may refer to the Updating Bronco411 Information eHelp article for submitting updates.

Bronco411 is a continuous collaborative effort by the offices of Human Resources Operations, Budget Planning & Analysis, and the Division of Information Technology and Institutional Planning and is part of the university's Management Personnel Plan.
