Horses, Heroes, and Higher Education: The Story of Cal Poly Pomona's Beginnings 

Presented by Amy Roberts and Kimberly Erickson

Join us for a captivating program exploring the rich history behind Cal Poly Pomona's origins, from WK Kellogg's Arabian Horse Ranch in Pomona to Charles Voorhis's visionary school for boys in San Dimas. Discover how their generous land and resource donations in the 1930s laid the foundation for a university rooted in hands-on learning and innovation. Hear how the Kellogg Ranch served during WWII and evolved into the thriving campus we know today--home to the renowned Arabian horse breeding program that continues Kellogg's legacy. Our featured speakers, Amy and Kimberly will share rare insights and stories from the university's past. Don't miss this engaging journey through time.
