CROWN CITY ROCKERS ONCE AGAIN AT CAL POLY POMONA

This years Nite Owl was kicked off by the great Crown City Rockers Band. I'm glad to say that they were the last performance I caught before my career at Cal Poly Pomona has come to a close. It was great to have them be the last group I see on that campus since they are technically the most booked group on the campus. I've been greatful to have booked them two of the four times we've had them and they're great people to work with. Seeing them the other night took it back to when Me and Joaquin went to our first Session A, and it was funny because Gail was there two; so it was the old school Session A crew. To all the people that don't live in the area or were unaware of what I've been doing these past years besides my academics, I was apart of a group of people doing production and booking for an on campus Hip Hop event Session A. Anyway here is the footage from the other night along with a few photos, also I'm glad more people that have never seen them before got to, now they know how great of performers they are.

NO SUMMER SCHOOL FOR CAL POLY POMONA

CAMPUS NEWS
Week of 5/31/2009

University Cancels State-Supported Summer Courses
Print this story!

The onset of massive budget cuts to the California State University (CSU) has forced Cal Poly Pomona to cancel state funding for the 2009 summer quarter. This decision was made on Friday afternoon, June 5. All classes that had been scheduled to begin on June 22 and July 29 are now cancelled. To support student graduation requirements, the university will offer a fee-based summer schedule through the College of the Extended University beginning on July 13. These fully transferrable accredited courses meet Cal Poly Pomona degree requirements.

University business operations will remain open throughout the summer. In addition, Study Abroad programs will continue as planned.



"We are facing catastrophic cuts in funding, ones that will drastically limit our ability to meet student needs for the 2009-10 academic year," said President Michael Ortiz. "The cost of summer courses effect the ensuing academic year. By suspending state funding for the summer, we can lessen the impact for the balance of the year."



The CSU is almost $600 million short of its basic workload needs for the 2008-09 and 2009-10 fiscal years, due in large part to the state's deteriorating economy. The system expects 2009-10 cuts to range from $400 million to $700 million, numbers reflective of the combined budgets of Cal Poly Pomona and Sonoma State. Locally, Cal Poly Pomona's share of these cuts could be from $20 million to $35 million.

Freshman and transfer students whose initial academic quarter was to begin this summer will be eligible to enroll in the fall regardless of whether they attend the fee-based summer schedule.

University colleges are now working on creating and enhancing the course offerings for the fee-based summer schedule. Course costs are $220 per unit for lecture courses and $280 for lab-based classes. Formal admission to Cal Poly Pomona is not a requirement. Stafford Loans, Pell Grants and Work Study may be available for regularly admitted students. Suggestions for course offerings from students are highly encouraged via the summer 2009 web site (http://www.csupomona.edu/summer09).
