Cal Poly Alumni

06/05/2026

From the shop floor to an incredible engineering career, the Cal Poly Racing alumni network is unmatched. 🏎️🛠️

Alumna Kathryn Webb (’19) remembers being the only woman on the Baja team. Today, she's watching a massive culture shift where nearly half of the team's leads are women!

And that Mustang connection stays strong long after graduation. Alumnae like Esther Unti (’18) frequently return from industry giants like Lucid Motors to review student designs, mentor, and help steady the build before race day. 🏁
