From idea to scoop 🍦
🤩 Students in a CPP Micro-Internship turned an idea into a real CPP Farms ice cream flavor. This project came together through a collaboration between @cppceo and @siil.cpp , with support from us, @ourcpp , @kellogghonorscollege , @cppcce , @oai.cpp , @coneyislandcreamery , and more!
They created CP & J, blending chocolate, peanut butter, and strawberry jam. 🍓🥜 It will be available on campus soon, so stay tuned.
✨Thank you to everyone who attended our ninth general meeting of the Spring 2026 semester! 🎉

We hope to see everyone at our tenth general meeting next week for our resume workshop! 🎉
Today, the Office of Academic Innovation proudly launched the inaugural OAI Collective, a first-of-its-kind event at Cal Poly Pomona celebrating student employment as a powerful pathway to career readiness!
Bringing together staff and student employees from across all OAI units, the event showcased the projects, contributions, and growth that happen when students are given meaningful opportunities to learn by doing. From building key career competencies to making a real impact across our campus community, our student employees are helping shape the future through innovation, collaboration, and hands-on experience. This is what Become by Doing looks like!
