Student Involvement
Cal Poly strives to educate its students in practical applications of their learning. Students of all majors and experience levels are welcome to participate in this opportunity to work in an industry-like setting. They work in every aspect of the Bull Test, including administrative activities, herd health, computer data analysis, ration formulation, and advertising. When students join the Bull Test Enterprise, they participate in one of the two committees that cover various aspects of Bull Test:
- Bull Prep Committee - This committee takes on everything from bull health and nutrition to maintaining the ranch facilities. Enterprise students are in charge of feeding the bulls twice a day as well as completing health checks in every bull pen. Students are also tasked with maintaining the facilities, helping with the fence, water, and keeping the area clean.
- Media & Marketing Committee - This committee takes on the event production side of Bull Test. All of the marketing materials, newsletters, social media, photo and video production, this committee has it covered. While still being able to get hands-on experience with the bulls, this committee is able to use their creativity in creating the yearly catalog, advertisements, and merchandise.
