Captured in intricate detail by @NASAHubble, this shimmering region of star formation is a close-up of the Trifid Nebula about 5,000 light-years from Earth. Several massive stars have shaped this region for at least 300,000 years. Learn more >> go.nasa.gov/4cIU6Pr

Happy Decision Day! 🎉 Congratulations to our future class of 2030 and transfer class of 2028! To everyone joining the Mustang family in the fall — from San Luis Obispo to Solano — we can’t wait to see where this journey takes you. 💛

Come joins us for the next “Why I Teach” conversation on Thursday, May 7, from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. in Baker Science (Building 180-Room 120) featuring math teachers Steven Arata (SLO High) and Robyn Amendola (Laguna Middle School). Free pizza will be provided for all attendees!

🏕 Design Village, one of @calpolycaed's preeminent Learn by Doing competitions, kicks off today! Student teams transform their designs into reality — building and living in them all weekend in Poly Canyon. 🔨 🔗 Learn more about the competition at architecture.calpoly.edu/about/Design-V…

🌍 This Earth Day, we’re grateful for a new perspective of our home, courtesy of @AstroVicGlover and the @NASAArtemis II crew. Explore new images of our planet and a special moment after the crew’s return to Earth. 📸 Courtesy of @NASA

Field Quarter in action! 35 students, one redwood, and 10 days exploring Northern California’s ecosystems. This is #LearnByDoing at its best. Appreciate the leadership from Prof. Matt Ritter and team in bringing this experience to life. 🌲

5,000 light-years from Earth, stars are forming in the Trifid Nebula. Our orbiting @NASAHubble telescope is taking a close look: go.nasa.gov/4tX1BYL

Rainstorm runoff may transport pathogens from the watershed and urban areas to the ocean. Avoid ocean water contact during, and at least three days following, significant rainstorms—like the recent storm. 🌧️ See beach water quality at SurfSafeSLO.org.

Cal Poly students and recent alumni can apply now for the Summer Accelerator — 10 weeks of hands-on mentorship and $10k in seed funding to launch a company. ☀️ 📅 Applications close Sunday, April 26 at 11:59 p.m. Learn more and apply today: bit.ly/41f41FG

🚀 🌊 One week later, and we’re still reliving every moment! As @AstroVicGlover and the @NASAArtemis II crew returned to Earth last Friday, our community came together to watch and celebrate each moment — from re-entry to splashdown. 🌍

Welcome home, Artemis II 🌎 After a successful flight around the Moon, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen have safely returned following splashdown. A major milestone for human space exploration and the path toward future lunar missions.
