Dean's Office

Dr. Brian Jersky joined the College of Science in Summer 2012. He is honored to serve as the College’s dean. He is a statistician by training, and has worked within the California State University system for many years. In addition, he served as dean of science at Saint Mary’s College of California from 2006 till 2010.
Together with the faculty and staff of the College, the dean works to ensure that Cal Poly Pomona’s “Learning by Doing” philosophy is implemented and continuously developed in all the College’s programs. Among other things, this means involving our students – undergraduate and graduate - in real scientific research, so that in addition to learning the material required to be accomplished scientists, our graduates can apply their knowledge to the world. Our stellar faculty are key to this endeavor, and they are supported by an outstanding staff. The dean invites you to enjoy our website, and to contact him with any questions you might have about science at Cal Poly Pomona.
