I am delighted to extend an invitation to you and your families to join us for Pomona Family Weekend, Feb. 13-15, 2009. 

Our tradition of inviting families to campus is a great opportunity for your students to share their Pomona College experience with loved ones.  Parents and families are able to meet and interact with faculty, staff and other members of the Pomona College community.  Come and enjoy a little sample of what your sons and daughters experience on a daily basis!  It is also a wonderful opportunity for all of us to continue our conversations with you, and welcome you again into the Pomona College community.

The schedule will provide a variety of activities throughout the weekend.  A few of this year's events are:

• Pomona Family College - Meet faculty, experience college, and engage in a range of academic and campus life discussions! A list of Friday morning classes will be made available for you to view prior to your arrival. We've also lined up some special interest lectures on Friday and Saturday. Some highlights are: 
  • Mathematics and Music: A Marriage of Muses
  • Graphic Novels
  • “What Light through Yonder Window Breaks?”: The Scenographic Imagination of William Shakespeare
  • Pomona Goes Green
  • Hallows and Horcruxes: Harry Potter as Theology
     
• Art, Music, and Culture at Pomona
  • Suddenly! A Visual Arts/Literary Collaboration, Reed College/Pomona College/and points adjacent - Pomona College Museum of Art's Spring 2009 exhibition.
  • Bobby Bradford and The Mo’tet - A concert with jazz trumpeter, cornetist and composer Bobby Bradford and The Mo’tet quintet.
     
• Special Events
  • Banks, Bonds and Bailouts: Government Policy and the Finanical Market - Join Professors Ludwig Chincarini, Glenn Hueckel and Mike Kuehlwein and Vice President and Treasurer Karen Sisson in a discussion about the causes, effects and current state of the financial markets.
  • Black Achievement Network Reception with faculty and students on Saturday.
  • Día de la Familia: The CUC Chicano-Latino Student Affairs (CLSA) office will host family events on Sunday.

A registration form and preliminary schedule will be mailed to all parents in December which will allow you to register for the weekend along with reservations for events that will be offered during the weekend.  

I look forward to having you join us for the weekend!

Sincerely,

Miriam Feldblum
