Support HVAC&R at Cal Poly

Our endowment was created to specifically support the HVAC&R program at Cal Poly, which means that all proceeds can only be used for the betterment of the program and do not go into the general fund. Our program was suspended from the late 80s through 2000 for over a decade. By building a strong endowment, we are making it possible to sustain the program for the long haul. Your contributions will support our state-of-the-art HVAC&R lab, industry tours, national ASHRAE convention, and participation in Cal Poly’s Open House.
