Students with Dependents Program Cal Poly has been selected to become part of a new national college community of practice to support students who are parents. To support the work, Cal Poly will receive $60,000 over two years from the Urban Institute’s Data-to-Action Campaign for Parenting Students. Staff and faculty in Cal Poly’s Students with Dependents Program and the School of Education will work to collect data on parenting students and use it to support students and their educational goals — especially those students who are single mothers. There are currently about 100 students with dependents at the university. The actual number may be far higher. More about the Students with Dependents Program College of Engineering Read More About the Program Division Of Research Three faculty members and a College of Engineering alumnus recently received U.S. Patents, the Division of Research announced.

Guardian Scholars Program TheGuardian Scholars Program will host a virtual Foster Youth Ally Training on Wednesday, May 29, from 3-4:30 p.m. The goal is to spotlight the experiences of students who have been or are currently in foster care. The training is designed to bring together faculty and staff who are interested in enhancing inclusive and equitable practices to bolster foster students’ success. Topics will include the challenges students experience in foster care, what it means to be an ally and strategies for empowering students to succeed. The Zoom link will be sent out to all confirmed participants before the event. Campus Dining Office of University Diversity and Inclusion Faculty, staff and administrators are invited to participate in a BEACoN study investigating campus microaggressions — small, often unintentional actions or comments that convey negative attitudes or stereotypes toward marginalized groups. Participants need to have witnessed or experienced a microaggression in the past six months. A 15-20-minute online survey includes questions on incident details, perceptions and demographics. Confidentiality will be maintained, and respondents will be entered to win one of 16 $25 gift cards. Campus Health and Wellbeing Counseling Services at Campus Health and Wellbeing will be renamed Counseling and Psychological Services for the start of the 2024-25 academic year. The change aligns closely with naming conventions for identical programs at most CSU campuses and helps clarify its purpose to address the psychological and mental health needs of Cal Poly students. The program will continue to offer the same support services for students, including individual, group and couples therapy, weekly online drop-in support, urgent and same-day services, eating disorder treatment and recovery, mental health workshops, and more.

Future Housing Program to Launch in Summer
This summer, Cal Poly is embarking on a 10-year program to expand and improve campus housing to enhance the residential student experience and promote student success. The Housing Future Program will add 3,000-4,000 beds to campus housing and incorporate major renovations to University Housing’s six red-brick residence halls in multiple construction phases to ease demand, accommodate growth and address aging facilities. The program concept will be submitted to the CSU for the Board of Trustees for consideration at its July meeting.

A team of psychology seniors — Abby Abraham, Britta Kleitsch, Karissa Nunez and Samantha Silva — partnered with University Personnel’s Lisa Gray to publish research on the restorative benefits of nature. Their project aims to spread knowledge of how biophilic design, an architectural approach to connect building occupants more closely to nature, and natural landscapes relieve directed-attentional fatigue, or DAF, improving employee wellbeing and productivity. DAF is a neuro-psychological phenomenon that results from incoming distractions while maintaining focus on a specific task. Their research was completed during the winter and spring quarters, supervised by psychology Professor Shawn Burn.Employee Appreciation Event Set for June 6
