Honored Alumni
The Honored Alumni Award is the highest honor the university's Alumni Association bestows upon Cal Poly alumni and was established more than 50 years ago. The award recognizes alumni from the university's six academic colleges. The Alumni Association also recognizes alumni through The Cal Poly Alumni Association Distinguished Service Award and the Sandra Gardebring Ogren Leadership Award. Awardees are honored each year during Homecoming at the Honored Alumni Banquet.
