Cal Poly International Welcome Ambassadors Program
The International Welcome Ambassador Program is a fall quarter program for new international students to assist in adapting to life in the USA and help them get the most out of their Cal Poly experience.
Students are teamed with other new students and Cal Poly student International Welcome Ambassadors who assist them in getting settled into life in San Luis Obispo and on campus. They introduce them to new friends and get together socially throughout the year. Meet this year's International Welcome Ambassadors.
