Foundation Participates in Red Cross Missing Types MovementThe letters A and O will be removed from the Foundation logo on the Foundation website from Monday, June 11 through Tuesday, July 3 in participation of the Red Cross Missing Types Movement.

You might not realize how important the letters A, B and O are until they’re gone. But, for a patient in need of lifesaving blood, those letters mean everything. The Foundation will be participating in the Red Cross Missing Types Movement to help raise awareness and fill in the missing types.

The Red Cross needs your help to fill the missing blood types so patients can receive the lifesaving care they need. Visit redcrossblood.org/missingtypes to schedule your blood donation appointment today.

Join the Missing Types Movement

CPELI Hosts Graduation Celebration for International StudentsAt the recent graduation ceremony on Friday, June 1, international students at Cal Poly English Language Institute (CPELI) were recognized for completing an intensive English program. The ceremony concluded, as it does every quarter, with a slideshow of students and staff engaging in language and cultural activities. Finally, all participants were treated to a meal prepared by Kellogg West.

We at CPELI are proud of our students’ achievements and success!

Parking Lot B and P to be Closed TemporarilyParking lots B and P will be closed from Monday, June 11 throughFriday, August 10.
