Communication Studies Club
The mission of COMS Club is to share the power of communication through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), mentorship, and community. We hope to encourage and support Cal Poly students and the COMS community, as a whole, to join a welcoming and equitable space while exploring the realm of Communication Studies. We engage our students professionally with mentors, professors, and COMS alumni to make impactful connections. Finally, our club holds the highest standard of accessibility and inclusion to individuals from diverse backgrounds. Cal Poly COMS Club is a community thriving with intellectual minds to “appreciate the influences of culture upon their lives.”

Club Activities
Club meetings are designed to offer club members academic, professional, and social opportunities. We hold various academic workshops, invite guest speakers to discuss career or internship opportunities, and create social events to bring our COMS community together. The club holds several events throughout the year such as Career Symposium and Communication Studies Department banquet, in addition to other inclusive events throughout the year. Our club provides an engaging, nurturing, and fun way to network and learn about all the exciting things the Communication Studies field and COMS community has to offer.
