Week 1 at Cal Poly got off to a strong start!

Students wrapped up their first week full of new ideas, real challenges and great connections. The first True You workshop helped them reflect on what matters most as they dive deeper into their college and career goals. Academic courses pushed them to apply what they’re learning in hands-on ways, sparking curiosity and teamwork.

Their first excursions gave them a chance to explore the beautiful Central Coast and build friendships along the way. The energy is steady and focused as everyone gets comfortable with the pace.

Week 2 is coming up fast, bringing more chances to learn, grow, and make the most of this experience. We’re looking forward to seeing what’s next!
