We are excited to announce “Serenity at Sea”, the 2022 Experience Industry Management Department’s annual auction event to be held in person on Saturday, April 30th at 6 p.m.

This year's event, entirely produced by students, will be held at the newly opened JUSTIN & J. LOHR Center for Wine and Viticulture on Cal Poly's campus. Supporters will have the opportunity to interact with students, alumni, faculty, and friends while they enjoy wine and a catered dinner, bid on exciting live auction items, and hear directly from our students. In addition, a dynamic silent auction will be available for online bidding all week long.

With your help, we will raise the funding essential to providing Learn by Doing experiences for students studying tourism, hospitality, sport management, destination marketing, and more, while building on the department’s reputation as the No. 3 ranked program of its kind in the country.
