The Cal Poly International Center stands in solidarity with the people of Iran in our commitment to equity, peaceful protests and freedom of speech. These are difficult times and we stand against the violence aimed at Iranian people. We know there are those in our campus community—students, faculty, staff, alumni, and supporters— who are affected by the ongoing crisis and may have family and friends who are directly impacted. Our thoughts are with you and we remain a resource of support for international students and scholars and the campus at large.
