Making a Difference, Sagehen-style
October is “Make a Difference” month, and Pomona Outreach to the World is a chance to do just that, through any of a variety of service opportunities being offered to Pomona graduates across the nation. Whether you prefer to help build a home, plant trees, smile and laugh with children, or feed the hungry, the Alumni Association is inviting you to get involved, Sagehen-style, this year on October 25 and make a difference in your community alongside fellow Pomona friends. For more information about Pomona Outreach to the World on October 25 and how to get involved in your area, contact the Alumni Office at (909) 621-8110, or visit the Alumni Events calendar at www.pomona.edu/alumni.

How to Hire a Sagehen
Good help is hard to find, but it’s easier when you know where to find Sagehens. This winter, the Pomona College Career Development Office will help alumni employers find quality employees by participating in the Selective Liberal Arts Consortium recruiting days in Chicago; Washington, D.C.; Philadelphia; Boston; and New York. Employers will be able to interview candidates from Pomona as well as other top colleges, without having to travel to campuses. For information on how to participate, visit www.pomona.edu/cdo/employers/recruiting/national.shtml, or email heather.brunst@pomona.edu

Alumni Board Welcomes New Members
In June the Alumni Board welcomed new members with an orientation and planning retreat at the Seaver House on the Pomona campus. During the weekend, the board considered ways to recruit volunteers for regional communities, and how to better support Pomona’s diverse alumni population with educational programming and regional events. Andy Agle ’91 handed the presidency of the Association on to Juan Matute ’63, and Taziwa Chanaiwa ’95 was named president-elect for the 2003–04 term.
