Thank you in advance for providing food for our students — it’s something they really look forward to and allows them to spend their lunch or dinner hour learning about your company!

We do ask that the food is:

• Pre-portioned, preferably individually wrapped, and available to be easily distributed.
• Please have the food delivered within the 30 minutes prior to your presentation. Deliveries sooner than 30 minutes are disruptive to our classrooms, faculty, and students.
• We suggest advertising your food choice in your upcoming recruitment flyer.

Delivery Address:

1 Grand Ave San Luis Obispo, CA 93407, Building 186
Construction Innovations Center

The building is on the corner of South Perimeter Road and Cuesta Avenue.

Note: 1 Grand Avenue is the address for the entire campus, so make sure to specify that the delivery is to the Construction Innovations Center (Building 186). You can assist delivery drivers by informing them to type the Construction Innovations Center into Apple or Google Maps.

Once the food has arrived at the building, a student working the front desk of the lobby will assist with bringing the food to the room where the info session will be located.

Below is a list of to-go meals and restaurants that have been popular with students:

• Sandwiches: Mr. Pickles, Lincoln Deli, High Street
• Tri-Tip Plates: Firestone, G Brother’s
• Shawarma Plate/Gyro: Petra
• Breakfast Burritos: G Brother’s
• Burritos/Tacos: Chipotle, Lincoln Deli, Taqueria Santa Cruz, San Luis Taqueria
• Burgers: Eureka
• Pizza: Woodstock’s

For info sessions in August – October, we recommend ordering at least 50 meals. For November – May, 30 – 40 meals is recommended.

You are welcome to email ccce@calpoly.edu with any questions about attendance estimates or food.

Parking can be a challenge on campus. We strongly recommend parking in Structure 131, which is located next to Grand Avenue Parking Garage and is about a 10 minute walk to the Construction Innovations Building.

• A daily visitor permit is required ($12).
• Pre-Purchase Permits
  • You can pre-purchase a permit through ParkMobile. Enter your license plate, visit date/time, and payment information. A confirmation will be emailed, and your plate will serve as your permit.
• Day-of Permits
  • Permits may be purchased via ParkMobile or at the kiosk outside Structure 131.
  • Each daily visit requires a new registration.
  • Alternatively, daytime visitors may utilize limited timed parking areas or parking meters throughout the various campus parking lots.

Parking tickets will not be reimbursed.

Campus maps are available on the Cal Poly Parking Website. Please check in early and allow an extra 15 to 20 minutes to park before your presentation and interviews.

1. Advertise the recruitment session. This can be done using a flyer that will be emailed to students and through social media. Tag @calpolyccce on Instagram to promote your info session.
2. Outline positions for hiring and locations. This helps target students from a particular region.
3. Consider prizes. Prizes such as gift cards or company swag/merchandise work well to increase attendance.
4. Invite recent alumni or interns. Previous interns speaking about their experiences can be very effective for student engagement.
5. Be original. Interactive presentations, virtual site tours, interview panels, and discussion topics have shown to be more effective in engaging students.

How many Info Sessions can we reserve?

At this time, we ask that you select one Info Session per quarter.

Is a parking pass included with registration?

Unfortunately, guests must purchase parking passes. Here is a helpful link with information on how to obtain a parking pass.

How many students attend each recruitment session?

• Fall semesters usually have 50+ students attending.
• Spring semesters usually have 30+ students attending.

May I host our Info Session virtually?

No, all info sessions are hosted in-person.

Can I reserve two interview spaces?

At this time, we will only be offering one interview room per company. If you are Founder, Legacy, or Mustang CMAC Member, please reach out to CCCE in advance to inquire about reserving a second interview room if necessary.

How are cancellations handled?

Please reach out to ccce@calpoly.edu as soon as possible if you need to cancel your info session.

We prefer to reschedule info sessions as opposed to full cancellation in order to avoid nonrefundable Eventbrite fees. Due to the popularity of info sessions, we may be able to fill your session with the waitlist if advance notice is provided and would be able to process your refund.
