Thank you, CPP Police, for your continued service and dedication to our safety!

Dining Uses Tech for Safety

Dining Services Presses on to Serve CPP

In addition to following the guidelines put forth by the CDC and World Health Organization, Foundation Dining Services continues to research and implement new ways to maintain the health and safety of our campus during these times. Centerpointe and Innovation Brew Works (IBW) have partnered with Campus Grubhub to enable mobile ordering and pickup, and delivery of IBW orders to any on-campus location. At Centerpointe, MorphoWave touchless technology has enabled accepting Bronco Bucks and meal swipes without physical contact.

Foundation Dining Services continues to serve the needs of the CPP community through Centerpointe Dining Commons, Innovation Brew Works (IBW) and the Vista Market at the Suites. Centerpointe and IBW are accepting mobile pickup and delivery through Grubhub, which we strongly encourage people to use. All locations are also accepting to-go orders. Visit the Dining Services website and @cppdining on Instagram for our most current updates.

Hi Foundation, I have some wonderful news and a great cause to share. Our tenant at Innovation Village, the American Red Cross (ARC), is doing some groundbreaking work and needs blood plasma donations to help with the fight against the COVID-19 virus. I sit on the Western Region Biomedical Advisory committee, and Jay Winkenbach heads the work done by ARC in our building at Innovation Village and is the leading advocate here in LA for the need of more plasma donations. The use of plasma with COVID-19 antibodies has had a life-saving impact in some cases. In one example, a Maryland doctor said it was Red Cross-collected plasma that made the difference in his patient's recovery - leading to this beautiful moment of celebration seen here in this video as he checked out cleared from the grip of the virus!

It is excellent to recognize the work that is happening here in our own Innovation Village Park with the Red Cross, and to encourage those who can, to participate in helping to save lives. The need for blood is constant - and patients of all kinds need your help. I want to take a moment and encourage those who can, to participate in helping to save lives by making a quick appointment with the American Red Cross. It's easy to find a site by using your zip code and checking at least a week in advance. The time to give blood, or blood plasma if you have COVID-19 antibodies, is now, and you can make a difference.

Thank you! Sandy

The CDC has recommended that people wear cloth face coverings in public in addition to maintaining six feet of physical distancing. Because surgical masks and N-95 respirators should be reserved for healthcare workers and other first responders, face coverings can be improvised from household items such as scarfs, T-shirts, sweaters or towels. Here are a few DIY tutorials to consider: three types of masks from the CDC, a video tutorial from the surgeon general and transforming an old T-shirt.

3 Ways to Make a Face Mask at Home!

Thank you, Randy T (and his lovely wife Karen), for making me a few fun retro masks to wear while out and about.

Before this, I faced a few challenges with face covers. First, I was tying a silk scarf around my face with little avail from slipping. Then I began using a disposable mask, but that frankly felt a little too utilitarian (and boring!).

However, on one of our limited days in the office, I started up a conversation with Randy and was pleased to learn that Karen was making masks herself! Now, I have an awesome paisley mask that I absolutely love! Thanks, Randy. Monica

This is Stacie Shellner here, Bronco Bookstore’s Textbook Adoptions Coordinator, A.K.A. “The Faculty Whisperer.” And like many of you, I’m working from home these days. While this comes with some perks, it also comes with some challenges. Let’s start with the perks. First, I roll out of bed, eat breakfast, then go to work in my pajamas. I take my mid-morning break to play with my dog. I work until lunchtime, finally taking a shower and getting out of said pajamas (but let’s be real, I’m only transferring into comfy sweatpants.) Then, I go back to work until mymid-afternoon break, where I play with my dog some more. I work until dinnertime, where I occasionally reward myself with a glass of wine. And, oh. Did I mention not having to deal with bumper to bumper, soul-crushing, rush hour traffic, to and from Cal Poly Pomona every single day? The challenges are instead of watercooler chat, I have refrigerator chat. This is when my sister slash roommate hangs out in the kitchen (my office is the dining room table) engaging me in conversation, often forgetting I’m in the midst of working. Not her fault, of course. We do have some sparkling verbal to and fro. It just slows me down a tad. And then there’s my dog. I never realized how needy he is. While he loves me being home, he really doesn’t like me working and not paying attention to him. He gives me the “eyes” a lot and crawls all over me if I decide to relocate my office to the living room to change it up a bit. But I guess this is a cute challenge to have. The bottom line is, while I miss the normalcy of Bronco Bookstore life, I’m glad I get to work from home, continuing to be a part of the bookstore team. Right now, we’re in the midst of preparing for the upcoming summer and fall semesters. And while these are some incredibly difficult times that affect how we operate, there’s something comforting about planning for the future.

This Watermelon Sherbet is a light, refreshing frozen treat that comes together with just fruit and yogurt, the perfect healthy snack or dessert for cooling down all summer long!

Prep Time 10 minutesCook Time 0 minutesServings 6 servings (Approximately 3 cups sherbet)Calories 40kcal

Ingredients3 cups seedless watermelon cubes cut 1 inch in size and frozen solid1/2 cup vanilla yogurt

Instructions1. Add half of the frozen watermelon cubes to a large food processor. Process until the watermelon breaks down and becomes grainy. Stop the food processor and add half of the yogurt. Process until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Scoop the sherbet into a separate container and repeat steps with the remaining ingredients.

2. Serve immediately for a frozen yogurt/soft-serve consistency. For a firmer consistency, freeze for 1 to 2 hours and then scoop. Leftovers may be frozen solid, but the sherbet will be very hard and impossible to scoop straight out of the freezer. Instead, place the container of frozen sherbet in the refrigerator to slowly soften for 3 hours before serving, at which point it should be scoopable.

NotesA small (personal-sized) seedless watermelon will yield around 7 cups of watermelon cubes, enough for at least two batches of this recipe. I try to remove as many small seeds as possible while cutting my watermelon into cubes so that the seeds don't end up in the sherbet.

To freeze the watermelon cubes, place them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the freezer for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight. Make sure there's not excess watermelon juice on the pan or the cubes will freeze into a solid mass. I also prefer freezing the cubes on top of a piece of foil or parchment paper which makes it easier to release them from the pan later.

When making this sherbet, be sure to work quickly or the watermelon will start to thaw and the sherbet may become watery.

Enjoy!

Single Family Homes: Now Avaliable Since Cal Poly Pomona enjoys the luxury of residing in the suburbs of Los Angeles, homes are hard to come by and often are listed at premium prices. While many Southern California homeowners can enjoy tax benefits and equity growth once moved in, the entry barrier is often challenging to overcome. We're here to help. Cal Poly Pomona is committed to recruiting high-quality faculty and staff and is aware of the challenges encountered in relocating and finding affordable housing. The Cal Poly Pomona Foundation, Inc. currently has two single-family homes starting at $365k available exclusively to faculty/staff and auxiliary employees of Cal Poly Pomona. Get $5,000 credit towards closing costs when escrow is opened by May 31. Unlike traditional homeownership, the faculty/staff housing program will allow eligible parties to purchase a home while leasing the land from the Foundation, which in turn, dramatically reduces costs and enables university professionals to own a new home near campus. For more information about our available homes, including home prices and details, please visit the For Sale Information Page.

What do you miss about open campus the most? "I miss seeing all our regular students, instructors and customers who I have created customer relationships with. In this industry we enjoy teaching and talking to our customers."
