 Advisory Council

The mission of the College Advisory Council is to support and promote Cal Poly in general and particularly the College of Agriculture in its programs and activities. The purpose is to provide focus, direction, and assist University President Warren Baker and College of Agriculture Dean David Wehner in carrying out the "Learn-by-Doing" mission of the College and the University.

These Advisory Council members are people who care deeply about the future of Cal Poly and the College of Agriculture. Most past and present members are active supporters of the College. It is their responsibility, on behalf of the students and alumni, College contributors, the State of California and the agriculture industry, to provide the College of Agriculture with vision and discipline. It is their responsibility to challenge the process and to keep true to a strong internal compass -- the compass that always points the way to a better future for graduates and to a more successful future for Cal Poly. You may contact the Advisory Board or the Dean at cafes@calpoly.edu .
