Message from the Vice President and Dean

Dean of Students, Miriam Feldblum
Office of Student Affairs
 As Pomona College’s Vice President and Dean of Students, I want to
welcome each of you to campus, and express my great excitement for our
year ahead. You will find Pomona is a compelling place with much to offer
you, including outstanding faculty, students, and staff, a challenging
curriculum,
extensive co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities, and an
engaging and innovative residential life. Each of you also will have much
to contribute to our community and life here. Pomona is a place for you to
continue to develop your intellectual passions and personal talents inside
and outside the classroom. To be sure, you will need to manage your time and
focus your energies so that
you can flourish intellectually and personally. With this in mind, I would like
to offer some opening
thoughts for our year ahead.
Pomona College is, first of all, committed to educational excellence and
individual student development.
From the ID 1 seminars through the breadth and depth of our liberal arts
curriculum, the College
provides students with an intense and personal exposure to learning.
Opportunities abound here to extend
learning and research outside the classroom, both during the year and through
the summer. From the very
start, you can take advantage of your ID 1 instructor, first-year advisor, and
all the students, faculty, and
staff around you to explore your intellectual interests and reach your
potential. We hope to help materialize
those academic dreams that perhaps once seemed just beyond your grasp.
Pomona is a residential campus that is deeply committed to providing students a
full living and learning
experience. I believe campus life will be as compelling and personally
satisfying as life in the classroom.
We strive for a student life program that involves a wealth of alternatives:
exploring the beautiful
region, which includes the ocean and mountains as well as
the excitement of LosAngeles (one of the world’s global
cities), engaging in meaningful volunteer, internship, and
community-based work programs, enjoying the company
of faculty, finding at least 1,047 different ways to socialize
and make life-long friends, competing in a range of intercollegiate,
intramural and club sports, participating in campus
clubs and student government, engaging in music, theatre,
and the arts, and ultimately creating a community
where closeness and friendship cross racial, ethnic, religious,
gender, and sexual orientation boundaries.
In a small setting like Pomona College, we can accomplish
what simply can not be done in a larger, more impersonal university. We can
become a true, inclusive
community, supportive of the multiplicity of ways we can come together, learn,
and develop. Working
closely with you and our faculty, we in StudentAffairs aim to provide services,
activities, and
resources that support the College’s educational enterprise and support you
personally as you journey
through this time. I look forward to getting to know all of you in this coming
year as we work together to
ensure that your undergraduate experience at Pomona is deeply rewarding. This is
also my first year at
Pomona, and I am certain we will make many happy discoveries together.
Miriam Feldblum
