Dear Team Broncos,

While it was a year no one expected, it was a year which you excelled in the classroom and again reached new academic heights. I continue to be proud that you chose Cal Poly Pomona and represent us in a first-class manner.

I want to especially congratulate our graduates and hope you enjoy your unique graduation experience in a few weeks. I look forward to seeing you return to campus as distinguished alumni in the near future.

For those returning, I am excited about the upcoming seasons. While we don’t have all the logistical answers to the start of fall, what we do know is that CCAA schedules have been established and we are actively planning for practice and competition in the fall.

I wish you well these last two weeks of the spring semester and hope you are planning for some enjoyable time away during the summer. Thank you for all you do for Bronco Athletics and I wish you and your families all my very best until we see each other again – which I hope will be FAST!

Take care and Go Broncos!!

-Brian Swanson, CPP Director of Intercollegiate Athletics

Every year, the California Collegiate Athletic Association honors two student-athletes from each institution with the Dr. Hal Charnofsky Memorial Award, named after the long-time Faculty Athletic Representative at Cal State Dominguez Hills who passed away in February 2003. This award recognizes CCAA student-athletes who “have distinguished themselves in the classroom and in their sport.” Both of these selected student-athletes will receive an award from the CCAA.

The two Senior Scholar Awards are for graduating senior student-athletes with the highest grade point average, along with the requirement of having completed at least two seasons with one particular sport.

Cal Poly Pomona annually recognizes the team with the highest grade point average. We recognize this achievement on a perpetual award called the “ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE TEAM AWARD”. The name of the team with the highest GPA is engraved on it each year.

This award is in recognition of the 2020-21 SAAC President for their leadership.

"Nia, thank you for your time, dedication, leadership, and guidance through this year of uncertainty. Through your involvement in SAAC as a member and as the 2020-21 SAAC President you have made a tremendous impact on Cal Poly Pomona's SAAC, student-athletes, and the Intercollegiate Athletic Department. We hope to continue and grow from the foundation you have built."

-Sarah Macias and Pam Donnelly, SAAC Co-Advisors
