Cal Poly Honors Kristin Smart with New Grove | California News

Cal Poly is unveiling Kristin’s Grove — a heartfelt, student-designed campus space honoring Kristin Smart, the 19-year-old student who vanished in 1996 and was later murdered by classmate Paul Flores, convicted in 2022. More than a memorial, this grove invites reflection, connection, and community, born from collaboration with Kristin’s family and architecture students. It follows Cal Poly’s 2021 apology for mishandling the original investigation and comes as new searches continue — including one at Flores’ mother’s home. Construction wraps by summer’s end, with the grove opening in fall and a formal dedication planned later this year, marking a poignant step toward healing and remembrance.
