Cal Poly Pomona’s Service Learning Projects are looked upon as a challenge that provides an intrinsic value to everyone and as a selfless act that brings out the best in all of us to accomplish a common goal, the betterment of our communities. It is a great way for inspired and dedicated Cal Poly Pomona students to apply their critical thinking, academic skills, and hands-on experiences to a real world organization.

The Monrovia House Research website, a Service Learning Project, is a database-driven application that presents information about the architectural styles, biographical information of homeowners, and early history of Monrovia in the late 19th century. Because of some inconsistency, disorganization, and inadequacy, Dr. Soe's senior project team has been committed to expanding the value and usefulness of the Monrovia House Research website for users and site administrators. The team formed together to apply the skills and knowledge that they have gained throughout their courses to make significant contributions to enhancing the effectiveness of the Monrovia House Research website to its fullest potential.

Below are the dedicated members that made every possible effort to make this project a success:

We thank Ms. Pam Barkas, Ms. Cindy Turner, and the Monrovia community for selecting our group and giving us the opportunity to have the drive, determination, and devotion to make the Service Learning Project successful and beneficial to everyone. Also, many thanks to Dr. Louise Soe for all her support, guidance, patience, and feedback during the life of this project.
