CPC Engages Consultants to Assess Dining Services

In anticipation of the future renovation or replacement of Cal Poly's primary dining facility, the Cal Poly Corporation has engaged the services of a consulting firm to solicit feedback from the university community and assist with the development of a long-term plan leading to the construction of a new world-class dining facility. The consultants will be on campus from late February through April, conducting focus groups and surveys and meeting with key constituent groups. A successful outcome will require collaboration with students, faculty and staff. The outcome of the assessment will be available on the Corporation's website when the report is complete.

We value your feedback!

Participate in the customer satisfaction surveys: Cal Poly Corporation welcomes you, students, faculty and staff, to provide your customer experiences and feedback about the commercial services offered on campus.
