Resource Spotlight - Cal Poly Cares
Cal Poly has a variety of great resources for a diverse student body. Each month we will highlight one that may be beneficial or of interest to your student.
Cal Poly is committed to creating an environment for all students to reach their full potential and thrive.
Along this journey, many students are unable to afford expenses core to their ongoing success, including housing and meals, academic supplies and materials, personal care items, professional clothing and unplanned emergencies.ccc
Our Cal Poly Foundation Board members have come together to support these students in their highest areas of need and created the Cal Poly Foundation Fund for Students. This fund provides awards to students through the Cal Poly Cares Grant program and is administered by the Student Affairs Division in collaboration with the Financial Aid Office.
Student Affairs partners throughout campus to create a comprehensive referral network to support students with critical and urgent needs. Faculty, staff, academic advisors, counselors, Campus Health & Wellbeing, Student Academic Services, Disability Resource Center, Cross Cultural Centers and department leaders throughout Cal Poly may refer students to the Cal Poly Cares Grant program by contacting the Dean of Students Office at 805-756-2472.
For additional support, please contact:
- Joy Pedersen, Ph.D., Associate Dean of Students
- Phone: 805-756-2472
- Email: jmpeders@calpoly.edu

Tell Us About Your Parent Experience
The Association of Higher Education Parent/Family Programs Professionals (AHEPPP) is interested in hearing your stories! AHEPPP is the premier national association for professionals who work with the parents and families of college students. They provide valuable resources, networking opportunities, and education to support professionals in higher education who promote student success through informed parent and family engagement.
In order to learn more about college parenting on a national scale, they are looking for parents and family members of college students to share information about their relationship with their student and the institution they attend. Your responses will help colleges and universities as they try to uncover trends and best work with parents.
The survey is only 25 questions and should only take 5-10 minutes to complete. It will close on May 10.
Get to Know Chip Neuenschwander
By Danica Liang
Fifth-year student, Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies
Not everyone can say they worked for Disney, training cast members to represent a renowned brand that is recognizable across multiple generations and continents. Chip Neuenschwander can. As the assistant director of student clubs and organizations, Neuenschwander utilizes his training and Disney know-how to help Cal Poly students find their own slice of community on campus through the 400+clubs and organizations he currently oversees. He recently provided a glimpse of his daily role, his approach to working with students and the organizations they represent, and what aspects of his role he enjoys most.
Can you tell me about your role? What do you believe is the most important aspect of your job?
I basically serve all of the student organizations on campus. I guess you could say the most important role of my job is being an advocate for the students -- that’s really the culture of Dean of Students’ Office. We serve the students, we’re a voice for those who need to speak out, we encourage them to make their own decisions, we provide boundaries and guidelines, and help them make good choices.
Can you tell me about your approach working with students?
You have to start with listening. Each time I come into a situation thinking I’m going to impart knowledge, but the students are teaching me more than I’m teaching them. I have to remind myself to be quick to listen, because Cal Poly students are extremely intelligent. They’re not waiting around for something -- especially if they’re club leaders; they’re doers. So, I have to remind myself that these are leaders of today and tomorrow, and they have just as much to teach me.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
The students. For one thing, it’s hard to get into Cal Poly, so you have to be pretty special to get here. In addition to that, they’re students who have designated themselves to run a club or they’ve been chosen by their peers to perform a particular aspect of a club. It means that their peers have said, “you have invested enough of yourself successfully into this that we want you to lead us now.” Their peers are saying: “We want you to lead us.” These are the people I get to interact with. It’s really cool to be able to connect with so many students who are very, very bright.
What impact can clubs and organizations have on a student’s experience at Cal Poly?
When a student comes to Cal Poly, it’s scary and exciting at the same time. You’re surrounded by 21,000 students, and you desperately need a community. You need a close-knit group that cares about you, that is interested in you, that -- if you’re not there and you blow it off -- they’re like: “Hey, where were you?” That’s what student clubs and organizations can provide.
In addition to that, so many students I talk to get career connections and internship opportunities through their participation in clubs. For instance, I know there are some clubs that attend conferences, where they get to interact with some great minds from all across the country.
Students may remember a particular lecture or a particular textbook. It is every bit as likely that they’ll remember an experience where they directed their own learning. I also think that people are happiest when they’re in a group, doing something that’s bigger than themselves. They’re going somewhere. They’re making something better. They’re a part of a team, and they’re going to do this together — even if there’s a chance of failure. That’s what makes it exciting.
What advice do you have to students who are looking to get involved in an existing club or who want to start their own club?
I would say give it a try. Students can get overwhelmed with all of the options. We had club showcase, and I told students: “You’re not chiseling your name in stone. You’re just putting your name down and they send you an email and if you want to go, go! Give it a try! And if you don’t like it, don’t do it anymore. Find something that you do like. Keep trying until you find it.”
If you want to start a club, it’s the same thing — just give it a try. See if there is a group of people who are interested in the same thing. If you’re going to start a club, whatever your vision is, stay true to it and focus on students who share those same values. If you’re looking to just fill up your roster with a whole slew of names, you’re probably not going to find as much success as when you connect with people who say: “I’m coming because I believe in what you’re doing.”
It’s not just about pizza parties and inflatables – it’s about people who say: “This resonates with my identity, and the reason this add values to me is because it speaks to me; it speaks to something that I’m interested in.”

Recommended Parent Reading List
Ever wish there was a how-to guide on parenting college students? While there might not be a manual on raising young adults, there are several helpful resources, articles and books to help you support your student. Each quarter, our office will recommend a recent and relevant book or article for parents and supporters of students of all identities and backgrounds.
Winter Quarter Reading Recommendation: “The Gift Of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed” by Jessica Lahey
In the tradition of Paul Tough’s How Children Succeed and Wendy Mogel’s The Blessing of a Skinned Knee, this groundbreaking manifesto focuses on the critical school years when parents must learn to allow their children to experience the disappointment and frustration that occur from life’s inevitable problems so that they can grow up to be successful, resilient, and self-reliant adults.
Modern parenting is defined by an unprecedented level of overprotectiveness: parents who rush to school at the whim of a phone call to deliver forgotten assignments, who challenge teachers on report card disappointments, mastermind children’s friendships, and interfere on the playing field. As teacher and writer Jessica Lahey explains, even though these parents see themselves as being highly responsive to their children’s well being, they aren’t giving them the chance to experience failure—or the opportunity to learn to solve their own problems.
Overparenting has the potential to ruin a child’s confidence and undermine their education, Lahey reminds us. Teachers don’t just teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. They teach responsibility, organization, manners, restraint, and foresight—important life skills children carry with them long after they leave the classroom.
Providing a path toward solutions, Lahey lays out a blueprint with targeted advice for handling homework, report cards, social dynamics, and sports. Most importantly, she sets forth a plan to help parents learn to step back and embrace their children’s failures. Hard-hitting yet warm and wise, The Gift of Failure is essential reading for parents, educators, and psychologists nationwide who want to help children succeed.

In this spirit this Charleston, SC based quintet performs timeless music of Gullah culture born in the southeastern Sea Island region of the United States.
