Art & Design Students Place in CSU Create Competition

Cal Poly Students Explore Belonging in CSU Competition

Four Cal Poly students were announced as winners of the inaugural Cal State CREATE, a CSUwide student event and competition that invited students to explore what it means to belong through the use of creative tools to create a unique, personal artifact to submit to the competition for prizes. The competition, organized by Cal State Innovate from the Office of the Chancellor in collaboration with Adobe and Apple, received over 50 entries from individuals and groups from 11 different campuses. Art and design major Anusha Sowda took second place for “How I Found Belonging At Cal Poly As A Queer Woman Of Color.” Three art and design students — Samuel Louie, Katie Tam, and Lyndsey Park — received third place for their entry, “Asian-American Artists United.” They tied for third place with an entry from a California State University, Dominguez Hills student. Cal State Innovate hopes to host the event again next spring.
