Dean’s Message
Greetings from the Orfalea College of Business.
Dear Orfalea Community:
The stories in this issue of Orfalea Magazine reflect our collegewide strategic goals, which will ultimately enhance the value of our degrees.
These stories highlight current faculty thought leadership, the societal impact our students are having, and the valuable mentorship our successful alumni provide. And, of course, we always want to spotlight student success and how our experiential education contributes to that.
We hope you enjoy these stories and consider supporting the college’s efforts. Meanwhile, in 2025, we will have many more exciting events to announce, including our annual Orfalea Open golf tournament, which will include new features when it takes place this May.
You can stay informed about that and other developments at the college by reading the news section of our website, Orfalea.calpoly.edu.
Have a safe and happy new year.
