The Staff Learning Community is a group of Cal Poly Staff employees that want to share and learn from each other. We were all new employees once and had to learn how to navigate around the University. For the SLC to work and be a supportive Community you have to get involved! Share knowledge, tips, tricks, processes & procedures you've learned or developed that make your life at Cal Poly easier and more efficient. We will grow by all of us sharing! At least twice a year the SLC focuses on a sustainability specific topic.
