Open House is an annual Cal Poly event that showcases the campus to admitted and current students, their supporters, alumni, and the San Luis Obispo community. The three-day event is the culmination of an entire year of hard work and dedication by a committee of student volunteers working under Student Life & Leadership's Orientation Programs, in collaboration with the community, student clubs, faculty, and staff.
The Orfalea College of Business will have booths, tours and lots of opportunities for alumni to get reacquainted. Visit the Cal Poly Open House website for complete information
