A Message from the CPAA Special Interest Chapters Vice President
Welcome! Our special interest chapters offer you a chance to meet and network with people with similar interests, work
with students or just connect with old Cal Poly friends -- no matter where you live.
If you are interested in forming a special interest chapter, please let us know.
