Office of Undergraduate Research - Infographics


The Office of Undergraduate Research at Cal Poly Pomona (OUR-CPP) was established in the fall of 2013 to increase undergraduate student participation in research programs. Participation in research as an undergraduate has been proven to not only expand a student's academic experience at CPP but also improve retention and graduation rates.

My work with the Office of Undergraduate Research as an Information Systems Analyst spanned many roles and responsibilities through my tenure. The primary responsibility was managing student participation records systems from the raw data state through the ETL process and finally, using the data to create dashboards and infographics that could be used by stakeholders and planners throughout campus.

Below are some of the completed infographics that were created and disseminated. These graphics were created using a combination of Python, Tableau, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and Microsoft Excel.

Cal Poly Pomona RSCA Scholar Recognition

The Scholar Recognition is a collaboration between the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) and the Learn Through Discovery (LTD) Initiative to recognize Signature Polytechnic Experiences (PolyX) at Cal Poly Pomona. The hallmark of a Cal Poly Pomona education is learn-by-doing. PolyX engages students in learning-by-doing through identifying and implementing solutions to real-world problems and opportunities.


Point of First Interaction with the OUR

The Office of Undergraduate Research serves as a central hub for research training, opportunities, and scholarships on campus. As an office, we noticed that once students interact with us once, they come back and interact in more activities. But how do students interact with us for their very first time?
