Resident Advisors |
| |
Resident Advisors (RAs) at Pomona College are students who are salaried
employees on the Student Affairs staff. Their goal is to assist in
establishing a positive living environment in the residence halls. RAs
serve as the first point of contact for the personal, educational, and social
needs of hall residents. They are responsible for assisting with security,
addressing emergencies, coordinating activities, working with Sponsors,
counseling hall residents, working at one of the residence hall desks, and
reporting damages and maintenance problems. RAs are charged with the
enforcement of college policies.
Students are obliged to cooperate with the Residence Halls Staff as they perform
their duties. It is a serious offense to harass or intimidate an RA
or to tail to comply with a request issued by an RA in the performance of their
assigned responsibilities.
Residence Hall Programmers
The RHP's are responsible
for major programming in the residence halls. They develop creative plans
for involving residents in important issues and educating them in order to
better their quality of life. Additionally, the RHP's serve as Resident
Advisor alternates in the event an RA steps down during the year.
RHS Intern
The RHS Intern is a student
staff member in the Office of Campus Life who focuses on administrative and
developmental support for RHS. The Intern assists the Associate Dean of
Campus Life in staff training and development, supervises RA programming and
organizes formal and informal gatherings for the RHS throughout the year.

Harwood/Wig/Lyon Sponsor Program
One of the most significant experiences for
first year students at Pomona is living in residence as part of a sponsor group.
The Sponsor Program is a residential program through which all first-year
students are housed with approximately 15 other first-years led by two sophomore
sponsors. The sponsors live in the halls with their
sponsors throughout the
year, with the objective of easing the transition to college by creating a safe
and welcoming living environment for all first-years and increasing first year
interactions with older students.
The Sponsor Program is largely student-led, supervised by the Senior Associate
Dean of Campus Life. There are three head sponsors who help to select the
sponsors, house the incoming class in their sponsor groups, and lead sponsor
training. The sponsor groups are created based on similar interests and
lifestyles indicated by the first-year housing forms. All incoming Pomona
College first-years are automatically put into the Sponsor Program. Sponsors are
prepared for this responsibility during a training program just before the
school year which addresses issues of mental heath, safety, and adjustment to
college.
