Alumni Weekend '09

We are counting down the days to the much anticipated Alumni Weekend to be held May 1-3 for classes ending in 4 and 9. Our hotel representatives tell us that sales are brisk, so please don’t wait until the last minute to make your reservations. The Doubletree Hotel in Claremont has already sold out and guests are being directed to the Sheraton Ontario Airport Hotel (909-937-8000) and the Doubletree Ontario Airport Hotel (909-937-0900). There are a limited number of rooms in our special rate blocks, so book now and be sure to mention Pomona College Alumni Weekend.

Be a Resource for Current Students
In this cycle of economic ups and downs, students are extremely interested to connect with alumni in the working world. They are not only looking for potential job connections, but just as importantly, asking basic questions like “What is a typical day really like for you? What do you wish you had known when you decided to pursue this career path?” Help ease their concerns and educate them by joining the Sagehen Career Connection. By agreeing to let students contact you, you can make a world of difference. It is easy to sign up, just visit the alumni homepage, click on “Sagehen Career Connection” and follow the directions.

Where is the Alumni Association? (Everywhere.)
In the last year the alumni association planned over 100 events in cities throughout the U.S. and beyond. If you live near a major U.S. city, chances are we were in your area with winter break parties, professor discussions, and more. We are constantly updating our calendar with new events, check it out and bookmark it at www.pomona.edu/alumnievents.

Where in the World Can You Find Cecil Sagehen?
Pomona College students and alumni travel throughout the world, so why not take Cecil along? The alumni office welcomes your pictures of Cecil Sagehen at venues throughout the world (including domestic). We can’t promise to post all photos, but will use some of the best ones on our Web page if you e-mail them to us at alumni@pomona.edu with your name, class year, location and date photo was taken. Don’t have a stuffed Cecil? You can get one from the Coop Store.

Planning Ahead
It is never too soon to prepare for another Alumni Weekend. Does your graduation year end in 0 or 5? We know where you will (or at least should!) be April 29-May 2, 2010—on campus for Alumni Weekend. Mark your calendar today.
