We are excited to share that TCCS Student Services will be hosting the Back to Your Future block party on Wednesday, September 17, from 3 pm to 6 pm just south of The Claremont Colleges Library. Back to Your Future is a lively outdoor event taking place along 8th Street and College Way. Booths feature free food, student resources, and interactive activities. A DJ/MC will keep the energy high with music, while students stroll through the event. Look out for festive balloon arches and mascots to enhance the fun atmosphere.

Please join the Accessibility Resources & Services Office as we host an Ability Ally Training.

What is the Ability Ally Training?

The Ability Ally Training Program creates a network of faculty, staff, and students who take a visible role in promoting disability awareness by actively supporting people with disabilities and maintaining appropriate resources for working and interacting successfully with people with disabilities.

Date: Wednesday, October 8

Time: 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

Where: SCC 201 Hart Room

This training is open to all Pomona students, faculty, and staff. Lunch will be provided for those who RSVP – the last day to RSVP is today October 7th, at 4:30pm. The training is presented in the form of a Kahoot. Upon completion of the training, participants are given the opportunity to sign an Ability Ally pledge and will receive an Ability Ally button and sticker to display.

For questions about accessibility and accommodations during the presentation please contact disability@pomona.edu.

Accessibility Resources & Services (ARS) and Monsour Counseling and Psychological Services (MCAPS) invites you to our Emotional Toolkit Workshop, a space designed to help you build practical strategies to manage stress, stay grounded, and take care of your emotional well‑being throughout the semester.

During this workshop, you’ll:

• Explore simple tools to support your mental and emotional health
• Practice grounding and coping strategies you can use anytime
• Reflect on what helps you feel centered and supported
• Walk away with your own personalized “emotional toolkit”

Whether you’re feeling energized, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between, this workshop is for you.

The Accessibility Resources & Services Office would like to invite you to the All Abilities Walk!

This event is open to all students, faculty, and staff. The first 30 participants to register for the Walk will receive an event T-shirt or a cooling towel and a boba tea drink. We will have an ARS visor, water, and light snacks for all in attendance. We hope to see you there!

You can RSVP here.
