One attribute can change a whole for the best of the worst.
Two years ago, I graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a degree in Computer Information Systems. College was one of the great chapter in the tome that is my life. No one, not even most students of my alma mater, had the experience I did.
In a conference call with President Ortiz the question went round and round as to why Cal Poly doesn't have the notoriety or distinctness that it deserves. Ideas like the fact that we are in the shadow of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo were thrown around. There was the fact that our school is largely viewed as a commuter school. I mentioned that the 800 pound gorilla in the room was in fact the location of the university.
Pomona was once regarded as the jewel of the valley. It is now a shadow of it's former self in the days when my mom group up there. It's now inundated with gang bangers, crack whore's and vagrants. My heart is to help these people and the city but that's not what I've learned today.
If Cal Poly's geography lay just 30 miles east it would most certainly have national recognition. One attribute of the school causes one to overlook its overwhelming hegemony in all of its main disciplines.
Kerberos - is a computer network authentication protocol which allows individuals communicating over a non secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner.
LDAP - or light density applicaton protocol is an application protocol querying and modifying directory services running over tcp/ip
Cal Poly's Identity
core competencies - diversity,
determine core values -
bring on partners
Bronco Compass
I like the idea of bronco compass. I'm on a five person team that has developed an integrated, seamless, and electronic version of this system. The application interacts with bronco direct (peoplesoft) and has advising, course planning, transfer work management and much more. I graduated 2 years ago and I much of my inspiration to my experience at cal poly. If you are interested in seeing a demo I would be more than happy to do so.
