We are excited to present “New Take, Old Traditions”, the 2023 Experience Industry Management Department’s annual auction event to be held in person on Saturday, March 11th at 4 p.m.

This year's event, entirely produced by students, will be held at the lovely Higuera Ranch which is just a short drive from the Cal Poly campus. Supporters will have the opportunity to interact with students, alumni, faculty, and friends while they enjoy wine and catered food, live bands, bidding on exciting live auction items, and seeing all that the ranch offers. 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.
