Principles of Community
At Cal Poly Pomona, we help anyone who dreams of success achieve it.
We value academic excellence, experiential learning, diversity and inclusivity, student learning and success, community engagement, and social and environmental responsibility. In line with these values, we are committed to the following Principles of Community, which shape our individual and collective character and guide our interactions with one another.
Through our Principles of Community, we reaffirm our individual and collective responsibility for creating a supportive, inclusive and intellectually vibrant environment where all can flourish.

Our Principles of Community
Practice Mutual Respect
We recognize the inherent dignity and worth of every individual, treating them with courtesy and kindness, actively listening to their perspectives and maintaining a respectful and open dialogue.
Foster Growth
We support the holistic development of each community member, promoting and encouraging opportunities for intellectual, professional and emotional growth.
Cultivate Belonging
We actively create an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, welcomed and empowered to contribute.
Act with Integrity
We commit to the highest standards of ethical behavior, transparency and fairness in all aspects of academic, professional and personal life.
Rooting Our Values
Cal Poly Pomona’s Principles of Community are a shared commitment to fostering a positive, inclusive, and respectful campus environment. These guiding values set expectations for behavior, encourage open dialogue, and provide a framework for navigating conflicts fairly and constructively. To shape these principles, we invited the Bronco community to share their perspectives in Fall 2023. More than 2,600 students, faculty, and staff contributed their voices, helping define the core values that strengthen our campus culture.
