Astronaut Victor Glover Returns to Cal Poly Campus

In the thick of training for NASA’s upcoming lunar mission, alumnus and astronaut Victor Glover (General Engineering, ’99) returned to Cal Poly to speak with students about his experience.

“It’s always great to be here on campus,” Glover said. “Cal Poly has changed so much over the years and it’s really neat to see, but some things don’t change, like the focus on students.”

Glover currently has two daughters enrolled at Cal Poly — and he’s eagerly awaiting this fall, when his third daughter will become the newest Mustang in the family.

“I’m over the moon,” Glover said, noting the obvious pun. “This is not an easy school, but nothing risked, nothing gained. They’re growing, and I just love watching them become the young ladies they’re going to be.”

Alumnus and Soccer Coach Retires

After 31 seasons as head coach of the women’s soccer team, Alex Crozier (Civil Engineering, ’84) will retire at the end of the 2024 season.

“I never could have imagined a better job. I have had the honor and pleasure of working alongside, coaching and meeting so many great people,” Crozier said.

The only head coach in the history of the program and a record six-time Big West Coach of the Year, Crozier is one of the longest active tenured women’s soccer head coaches in all of Division I.

“I can’t predict the future,” Crozier said, “but I see big things ahead for this program, not only this coming fall, but for years to come. Go Mustangs!”
