PULSE
Our Mission
Peers Understanding, Listening, Supporting, Educating (PULSE) is a collaborative, student-led health education program that seeks to achieve a balanced, thriving campus at Cal Poly.

Our primary goal is to develop programming that is fun, safe, supportive, interactive, and educational that reaches the entire campus community regardless of background or identity.
