Getting involved: A Guide for Parents


Just as students build lasting bonds with classmates and professors, Pomona gives parents some great ways to build ties to the campus and to each other that endure even after their students graduate. Whether it's speaking at a career event, supporting the Parents Fund or helping to welcome new families, the College is eager to make us part of the community. And then there's the weather! (and no cramming for finals).

-- Christie Weiner and Richard Paisner, P'08,
co-chairs of the Parents Committee

Career Development
Through the Career Development Office, become a parent career adviser, participate in career day panels, allow students to interview you about your profession, invite students to shadow you for a day or support an internship for a Pomona student.

Communications
Help us find effective ways to let parents know what's happening on campus and in your hometowns.

Welcome new families
Host a welcome party for new Sagehen families. Or, if you speak a second (or third) language, we could use you to answer questions for non-English speaking parents during Parents Orientation.

Support the Parents Fund
Make a gift and support the vital role that the Parents Fund plays in assuring the quality of a Pomona College education. In 2007-2008 alone, Pomona College students received approximately $23 million in scholarships, more than half of which came from unrestricted sources such as the Annual Fund.

Contact Information
If you have questions or are ready to get involved, please contact Lucia Miltenberger, Pomona's director of parent relations.
