Regional Chapters
Regional chapters are like your very own Cal Poly “away from home.” Regional chapters offer year-round programming and events for all alumni in that area. Cal Poly has over 107,000 alumni living in California alone. For that reason, CPAA has grouped the chapters in California into four regions, Northern, Central Valley, Central Coast, and Southern.
Special Interest Chapters
Special Interest Chapters are formed based on a unique interest for that group. Special Interest chapters hold programs and events to connect their members and also support their student counterparts at Cal Poly.
GOLD (Graduates Of the Last Decade) Program 
The GOLD program represents over 38,000 Cal Poly alumni. Networking, social and sporting events are hosted through the regional chapter program and open to everyone.
