  —Our Mission

Giving to NRES

students learningFor the past four decades, Cal Poly Natural Resources Management & Environmental Sciences (NRES) has been preparing passionate leaders who drive change in sustainability and stewardship of the environment. Cal Poly's motto of Learn by Doing has guided this program since its inception, and makes our students more prepared for the workplace and ready to make a difference in the world. 

Many of our alumni and industry partners have supported, and continue to support, the NRES Department through facilitating internships, paid and unpaid job opportunities, guest lecturing, research projects, mentoring, and advisory council membership, as well as direct donations. The generosity of our alumni, parents, and friends helps support the growth and improvement of our programs.

We need your help. Keeping Learn by Doing strong and vibrant requires enthusiastic students, pioneering faculty and innovative facilities. Your support of our programs is essential. Please consider making a gift to support our programs. See personal rewards for giving
