International Poly Hosts Overview

The International Poly Hosts Program helps foster connections between Cal Poly international students and the Cal Poly community. A Poly Host is a Cal Poly staff or faculty member who has volunteered their time to get to know one, two or even three Cal Poly international students. International students will get the opportunity to experience life in the local community through occasional visits with their Poly Host. These visits can include various types of activities, such as a hike, going to the beach, attending a sporting event, or celebrating holidays/family occasions. A Poly Host will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of other cultures while also having the opportunity to share their culture. Matches will be made in early-mid October.
