From campus traditions to gatherings across the country, 2025 was a year marked by pride, connection and memorable moments for the Cal Poly alumni community. Mustangs came together to celebrate milestones, honor achievements and welcome the next generation into the alumni family, reflecting the spirit that continues to bring graduates back long after commencement.

Alumni kicked off the year with a spirited Founders Day celebration in March, followed by a successful Wine and Beer Garden in April that brought Mustangs together to enjoy local flavors and good company. In June, Cal Poly welcomed the Class of 2025 into the alumni family at commencement. Shortly after, Mustangs filled the stands for the second annual Cal Poly Night with the San Francisco Giants, making for another unforgettable evening at the ballpark. We ended summer with sell-out crowds at New Student Sendoffs, leading into the start of the new school year.

The fall was just as exciting, with a vibrant Homecoming in October and the Honored Alumni Awards later that month, recognizing outstanding contributions across the alumni community.
