Huntley College of Agriculture at Cal Poly Pomona

The spring semester and Commencement may be over, but our work is never done!

Our students, faculty, and staff are hard at work at the LA County Fair this month, running the petting farm; giving presentations about animals, bees, native plants, and soil science; and telling stories and answering questions about farming.

Come see us in the Red and Green Barns! Don't forget: Cal Poly Pomona Day at the Fair is Monday! The Bronco Pep Band is scheduled to perform at the Big Red Barn at 3 p.m.

The fair runs through May 31. For tickets and more information, see the link in our bio.

Best of luck to nutrition/dietetics major Ricardo Vargas, who will represent Cal Poly Pomona on Thursday at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships!

Vargas will compete in the 10,000-meter run. The junior is one of three Cal Poly Pomona students who qualified for the championships, which are being held in Emporia, Kansas.
