Gratefully, Courtney From: Courtney Leigh Kienow <ckienow@calpoly.edu> Date: Friday, September 13, 2024 at 2:43 PM To: Courtney Leigh Kienow <ckienow@calpoly.edu> Subject: Cal Poly Neighbor E-Newsletter We have some exciting updates for you in this edition of the Cal Poly Fall 2024 Neighbor E- Newsletter. Topics include: Fall schedule and planned fireworks Faculty/staff housing at the corner of Grand Avenue and Slack Street On-campus student housing and enrollment Job posting opportunities Cal Maritime integration Fall events with amplified sound What to do if you have concerns re: an on-campus issue Fall Schedule and planned fireworks We’re just a few weeks away from the start of fall term at Cal Poly. The first day of classes is Monday, Sept. 23. Mustang Move-in is all set, and schedules are out for the tightly choreographed process of students moving on to campus. Most students will move in on Sept. 17 and 18 between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. To ensure a safe, efficient experience for the participating students and supporters, there will be several parking and traffic modifications around campus, particularly on the main move-in days: Grand Avenue will be open to inbound traffic for move-in only and closed at Pacheco Road (intersection at the Vista Grande Dining Complex) to Village Drive Pacheco Way will be open for outbound traffic If you would like to be a part of the volunteer team helping on these days, you can sign up below. Week of Welcome will take place Sept. 18-22. There is a large event in Spanos Stadium on the evening of Sept. 18. Fireworks are expected between 7:50 and 8:15 p.m. that evening for less than five minutes and again between 8:50 and 9:15 p.m. for about 10 minutes. Faculty/Staff Housing at Grand and Slack If you’ve driven onto campus recently through the Grand Avenue entrance, you’ve likely Volunteer for Mustang Move-In Here noticed that construction activity has begun at the northeast corner of Grand and Slack. The project, named Vista Meadows, will include 33 for-sale staff and faculty houses. This is the second project in our faculty and staff housing program, which currently includes the nearly 70 units at Bella Montana. Additional development sites that will include rental options on and/or near campus are being evaluated as part of the long-term plan for the university to develop 400-600 units of workforce housing. For a full update on our future plans for staff and faculty housing, please visit the Cal Poly Partners website. These projects are intended to address commonly voiced recruitment and retention issues for Cal Poly’s staff and faculty and provide additional housing options amidst the extremely high demand in the local housing market. On-Campus Student Housing and Enrollment The California State University Board of Trustees approved the development of approximately 4,100 additional student beds on campus at their most recent meeting. The development will accommodate all first- and second-year students, with the goal of reducing the number of students living in the community. The plan calls for nine new buildings; the replacement of the North Mountain Residence Hall with newer, more modern facilities; and significant investments in renovation of the Red Bricks during summer breaks. You can find more information about this phased plan here: http://www.housing.calpoly.edu/future-housing This year, Cal Poly will have about the same number of students living on-campus as we did last year, about 8,800. Cal Poly has the largest housing program in the CSU, with active plans to grow by thousands more. Regarding enrollment, census numbers won’t be complete until later in the fall, but we are anticipating modest growth. We like to remind folks that fall quarter tends to be our highest in terms of enrollment which is also the timing of the census. Numbers tend to drop throughout the year as students graduate at the end of each term, engage in study abroad programs, or participate in off- campus internships, among many other reasons. Job posting opportunities Career Services invites community members and local businesses to post on the newly updated MustangJobs website. This free job posting platform is a great way to connect with students seeking one-time jobs, ongoing part-time jobs, internships, and full-time opportunities. Household employers and local businesses can create an account and post a job by completing an employer registration. MustangJobs FAQs and guides are available on the Career Services website, and any questions may be directed to 805-756-2501. Cal Maritime integration You may have heard that the CSU Board of Trustees took the first step to move forward a plan to integrate CSU Maritime Academy and Cal Poly.
