The Emeriti Society Hosts 'Leap Into Polo'

From The Emeriti Society: The Emeriti Society, a group at Cal State San Bernardino’s Palm Desert Campus for retired faculty members or administrators fromany four-year college or university, will once again host “Leap Into Polo” on Sunday, Feb. 26.

“Leap Into Polo” is a VIP experience at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio. For a $40 admission, guests will enjoy polo matches, a field-side Sunday brunch taken from the menu of the International Polo Club in Palm Beach, a complimentary champagne divot stomp, games and a fancy hat competition with prizes for all. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet and greet with polo players from all over the world. Admission includes parking.

Tickets are available online at http://bit.ly/2jWbne6 or by contacting Michelle Newman at (760) 341-2883, ext. 78140 or Michelle.Newman@csusb.edu.

The Emeriti Society was created for retired faculty members or administrators to connect with their local four-year public university. The CSUSB Palm Desert Campus hosts the Emeriti Society for speakers and cultural events, Osher classes, academic conferences and theater events.

“Last year’s “Leap Into Polo” event was so successful we are doing an encore,” said Sharon Brown-Welty, dean of the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus. “The food, the hats - it was a very fun event and provided an opportunity for Emeriti Society members to mingle and get to know one another a little better.”

The Emeriti Society affiliation offers members an opportunity to become involved with current students - something members find especially rewarding, according to Brown-Welty. Members mentor students and student groups, are guest lecturers in their area of expertise and serve on campus committees. With the theme of “life is a university and you never graduate,” the Emeriti Society attracts full- and part-time residents in the Coachella Valley to events and activities.

The CSUSB Palm Desert Campus is celebrating 30 years of serving the Coachella Valley, making it a great time to join the Emeriti Society.
