Reese Matheny

Operations Chair

Architecture, College of Architecture and Environmental Design

Reese is a third-year architecture major at Cal Poly whose rose float journey began in the spring of 2022 as a deco team member for the 2023 float: Road to Reclamation. The next year, Reese held the position of SLO Decorations Chair for Shock n’ Roll: Powering the Musical Current. Taking on that role was incredibly challenging but equally rewarding. Being chair made Reese grow a lot and is thrilled to be taking on the challenge once again as SLO Operations Chair for the 2025 float. After college, Reese hopes to have a career in the restoration of historical homes.
