Cal Poly Biotech QL+ Center and Founding Alum
Are Topic of Filming
SAN LUIS OBISPO -- A camera crew with the United Services Automobile Association (USAA) was on campus filming engineering alum Jon Monett (IE ’64) at Cal Poly this week.
The project was a segment for the organization’s annual report, focusing on the new QL+ Center located on the Cal Poly campus.
The biotech center does research and development of prostheses for men and women who have been injured in battle -- from weapons, explosives or fire. The Monett Foundation supported the creation of the center with a $500,000 donation. Injured veterans will benefit from the development of technologies in a nonprofit setting at Cal Poly. The center is currently staffed by faculty and students from across the College of Engineering.
