Student Officers
The Cal Poly Symphony is supported by a team of student officers, elected at the end of each academic year to serve the next season. Officers perform duties that are necessary to maintain a well-run ensemble, plan social events for members, promote the ensemble through media and at Cal Poly events, help organize tours, and facilitate many more aspects of the orchestra program.
