Cal Poly English Language Institute

Events Calendar

We love hosting activities for our CPELI students!

From ice-breaking activities to beach hangouts, on-campus events to conversation clubs, and Hotdog Caper to Cal Poly Pomona's annual Pumpkin Festival, there's something for everyone. Each term, we organize activities every other week, offering a variety of social, cultural, educational, and recreational opportunities. We're excited to share our interests with you and help you discover and connect with yours.
