A Special Message to the Cal Poly Pomona Communities:

The university has a full slate of events planned for Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 14 and 15, which will affect campus roadways and parking. Parking & Transportation Services and University Police personnel will be on campus each day to assist guests with directions to their respective event.

If you are planning to be on campus this weekend, you are strongly encouraged to arrive early.

The two main events that will require road and parking lot closures are the Matthew Myers 5K Memorial Run/Walk and Bamboozle Left.

The Matthew Myers Memorial 5K is an inaugural event to honor a student whose life was cut short by a traffic accident. The run/walk takes place Saturday morning, Oct. 14, and will require the closure of Ag Valley Road, Citrus Lane, Eucalyptus Drive, Oak Lane, Red Gum Lane and portions of University Drive from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Those participating in the event will be directed to park in Lot F10.

Bamboozle Left, a two-day music festival on the university's athletic field, will require the closure of Lot Q from Oct. 11 through Oct. 16. An audience of 10,000 people is expected each day of the festival. The north section of Lot Q will be available for Residential Suite occupants only.
