OVERVIEW
Cal Poly New Student & Transition
Programs (NSTP) sees over 50,000 guests of
students and their families between Open
House, Student Life Orientation Days, and
Week of Welcome annually. NSTP becomes
the first stop for these students and
parents and they begin their careers at Cal
Poly, serving as a resource as they begin
their transition to life at Cal Poly, San Luis
Obispo. NSTP provides inherit benefits to
San Luis Obispo tourism, not only drawing
guests in for our events, but by being the
first stop of programming, education,
and exposure to San Luis Obispo and
the California Central Coast. NSTP can
help provide more opportunities for this
exposure and education through our
programs and materials to help give more
resources to our students and parents as
they engage and connect further with San
Luis Obispo as well as plan future visits.
Below, here are the opportunities that San
Luis Obispo tourism can use to further
engage and connect with our new students
and their families:
