Biographical / Historical
Associated Students Incoporated (ASI) is the nonprofit corporation and student
government organization at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. It
operates as a California State University auxiliary organization.
It was founded in 1938 under the name Student Activities Committee (SAC) by student
Avon Carlson, who also led the group. At that time, students attended classes at the
Voorhis Unit in San Dimas, which operated as a southern unit of what is now known as
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. A year later, the group's
name was changed to the Student Affairs Council. Over the years, the group was also
named Associated Students and Associated Student Body. It took on its current name
in 1963, when the school was known as California State Polytechnic College,
Kellogg-Voorhis. Cal Poly Pomona split from San Luis Obispo in 1966 and officially
became a university in 1972.
In 1970, ASI released a document proposing a student union that would include a games
room, a lounge with a television set, and other services. The University Union
opened in 1974. The University Union underwent an expansion throughout out the late
1990s and early 2000s. In 2003, it was was given its current name: the Bronco
Student Center (or BSC).
ASI currently manages the Bronco Student Center and the campus recreation center
known as the Bronco Recreation and Intramural Complex (BRIC), which opened in 2014.
Students pay fees each semester that go to ASI, Bronco Student Center, and the
BRIC.
