Vision

The vision of the American Indian and Indigenous Faculty and Staff Association (AIIFSA) at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo is to develop and maintain the support and recognition of Cal Poly staff, faculty, and students, and to empower, enhance and increase the presence and visibility of American Indian and Indigenous (AI/I) peoples within our campus community. We promote employment, training, and advancement of AI/I staff into positions of increased responsibility (i.e., supervisory, management, and executive positions), as well as the recruitment, retention and promotion of AI/I faculty and students. The AIIFSA is committed to establishing diversity and inclusivity and working with other Faculty and Staff Association on Cal Poly's campus to build long-lasting relationships for our association and its members. And of particular importance, we strive to develop effective, ethical, innovative, respectful and culturally appropriate partnerships with our Tribal communities.
