About Our Class
The Cal Poly Pomona Communication Department Event Planning Class works hard to create meaningful events. The purpose of Event Planning (COM 4446) is to introduce students to the meetings, events and conventions industry and to provide them with the tools necessary to succeed as an event planner.
BEHIND THE SCENES
The Event Planning Class from the Communication Department at Cal Poly Pomona hopes to not only create remarkable events but also to leave legacies for future students.
Behind each event, there are 24 students who are split up into five committees with 5 chairs to connect them, alongside two event coordinators. With help from our professor, we work collaboratively and diligently to create purpose-driven, successful events.
Students learn about the logistics of special events planning through both academic instruction and a “learn-by-doing” education through the planning, production and execution of a major event.
