Mission Statement
PolyCultural Weekend aims to serve underrepresented minority groups by connecting prospective students with the cultural community on campus. Our goal is to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where students are able to find their home away from home.
During the weekend, prospective students will explore academic, cultural, and social resources. The weekend experience will help students establish a sense of community, cultivate a feeling of belonging, and gain the confidence to succeed at Cal Poly.
If you have any questions about our event, please contact us at polycultural@calpoly.edu for more information!

Hello! I am a second year Civil Engineering major, and I am very excited to be a part of this amazing weekend experience. As someone who was very worried about coming to a predominantly white institution (PWI), PolyCultural Weekend (PCW) has shown me that there is so much to be celebrated when it comes to my identities and my place here on campus. There will always be spaces and people on this campus that welcome and appreciate you fully as you are, and I hope to help people feel that during PCW 2025!

Hi Everyone! I am a second year Child Development major and from a small town in the Central Valley called Lemoore! I am so excited to continue to be part of Poly Cultural Weekend (PCW) as this year's Connections Coordinator. As someone who once felt quite nervous about attending Cal Poly SLO, PCW was one of the main reasons that helped me choose this campus because of the amazing diverse community of students I met and made me feel at home. I can't wait to help make PCW a memorable experience for you!. See you soon!

Hi! I am a second year Biology major and I attended PCW as a Hostee! I was hesitant in accepting Cal Poly SLO, however PCW gave me the opportunity to explore and enjoy the campus and meet students, staff and faculty who hold salient identities that helped me see I belonged here. I am so glad I attended this program! I think this weekend will be a great opportunity for YOU to experience what Cal Poly SLO has to offer.
