ABOUT US

The Psychology and Sociology Department's Ennis W. Cosby Friendmobile is a refurbished motor home, originally donated by the McDonald's Corporation, that provides free on-site testing for emotional and behavioral problems, learning disabilities and developmental delays for economically disadvantaged children, aged 3-18 in Los Angeles County. On Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, the Friendmobile is at the Cal Poly Pomona Downtown Center.

Former President Bob Suzuki named the Friendmobile in honor of Ennis W. Cosby, son of Bill and Camille Cosby, in recognition of the many contributions made to Cal Poly Pomona by the Cosby family. Ennis W. Cosby, who died tragically in 1997 at the age of 27, had devoted his life to helping children with learning differences.

VISION STATEMENT

The Friendmobile strives to significantly enchance the lives of children and families in the City of Pomona and its surrounding communities by providing a wide variety of services, programs, and interventions at the invidual, family, organizational, an community levels.

DOWNTOWN CENTER STATEMENT

The Cal Poly Pomona Downtown Center exists to serve the Pomona community and to be a center of service learning and outreach for the student, faculty, and staff of the University.

The Cal Poly Pomona Downtown Center's purpose is to provide a forum for the University to bring education and applied knowledge to downtown Pomona, thereby contributing to the economic revitalization of the city.
