	The Fibonacci Sequence 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 Every figure is the sum of the two preceding 1 2 + 3 = 5 8 13 + 21 = 34 55 89 The Golden Section is devised from this ratio When a Golden Rectangle is progressively subdivided into smaller and smaller Golden Rectangles, a pattern is obtained. From this, a spiral can be drawn which grows logarithmically, where the radius of the spiral, at any given point, is the length of the corresponding square to a Golden Rectangle.	Kathleen Holmgren Industrial Engineering 1980 “Cal Poly has always been there for me.” The students and faculty in my department were very close to one another and I felt nurtured professionally and personally. I'm still in touch with professors, and I'm still involved with the college because it's where I received the foundation for my career.
