Celebrated annually since 1986, the Golden Leaves program honors members of the Cal Poly Pomona campus community who recently authored or edited a book. The event is jointly sponsored by the University Library and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. The event celebrates, not only campus authors, but also the book format, which has continued to remain viable throughout the course of many centuries.
For a complete history of the awards, please visit the University Library website at: http://www.csupomona.edu/~library/specialcollections/goldenleaves/
