Stacy Bolton

Assistant to SAVP for Enrollment Management & Services

In her role within Academic Affairs, Enrollment Management & Services, Stacy provides administrative support to the Senior Associate Vice President in Enrollment Management & Services and the Executive Director of Student Systems & Operations. She is in charge of all things operational and administrative and is the first point of contact for the office. She also serves as an important resource for all of the EM&S departments and can either provide them with a quick answer or direct them to the right subject matter expert to resolve any issues they may have.

In her nomination, it was said that, “Stacy helps a vast majority of campus personnel, always with a welcoming, positive attitude. She is a wealth of knowledge and a welcome smile. She is a key component in her department, ensuring that all needs are met and exceeded."

Thank you, Stacy, for your 5 years of service and all you do for Cal Poly Pomona!

What do you like most about your job?



"The people! I truly appreciate the Directors, Associate Directors, and my peers within EM&S. They are some of the best people I have ever worked with. Having teammates you respect can motivate you to perform to the best of your abilities and good communication with them can help you perform various tasks more efficiently."

What is a quick tip that you want the campus to know?

"Having flexibility is important. Having the capability to quickly adjust and pivot to unexpected circumstances and to also navigate situations that don’t go as planned, is key. I also believe in the importance of building professional relationships with campus partners."

What do you like to do when you are not working?

"I love spending time with my new husband. We love to travel and spend time with our kids, family, and friends, and we enjoy making new memories together. Life is too short!"

Juneteenth: A Time for Reflection and Joy

Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month

Monday, June 19th is Juneteenth! This important day is an annual commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States after the Civil War. African American communities have celebrated Juneteenth since the late 1800s, and in 2021, Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday. Please check out this list on PolyCentric for local ways to honor and celebrate Juneteenth.

Worldwide, more than 55 million people are living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. This month aims to raise public awareness about Alzheimer's disease and its impact on individuals, families, and communities. Purple is the official color of the Alzheimer's movement. You can raise awareness by wearing purple or volunteering at local events.

NSF I-Corps Summer 2023 Short Course

"I am First" Video Wins a Telly Award

Commencement Selfie Contest

CPP is one of three CSUs that earned a National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps Grant in 2018. As an I-Corps site, our campus coordinates projects through the various stages of commercialization. Faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community entrepreneurs are invited to participate in a free two-day virtual institute to translate research, products and ideas to the marketplace. Teams will learn how to qualify for the NSF National Innovation Network Team Program to earn up to $50,000 in funding. Applications are due Friday, July 14th.

MediaVision’s video supporting the I am First campaign won a Telly Award in the Video from an Educational Institution category! The project goals were to highlight our first generation students on campus to help them feel a sense of belonging and are aware of the resources in place to help them succeed. We want to give a special shout out to Richard Garippo who did the final edit on the main video and the entire MediaVision staff who helped edit the respective individual stories. This marks MediaVision’s 6th Telly Award win since beginning to submit for consideration in 2014!

During our Commencement ceremonies, our Strategic Communications department engaged in a selfie contest to motivate the team and appreciate one another for their hard work at managing the many moving parts that went into making the event a success.

This was such a great way to show team spirit and spread joy among the volunteers. Sign up to volunteer at next year's Commencement to join the fun!
