In an effort to support and facilitate student development, Housing and Residence Life is committed to creating and administering Residential Education that will provide opportunities for residents to develop in a holistic way as members of the Pomona College Community and global citizens of society.
This is accomplished through the implementation of thoughtful programming and initiatives that support our Student Affairs Division Learning Outcomes.
A residential themed community is a group of residents who live in the same area of a hall who share common learning interests related to a specific theme. Residential themed communities create unique opportunities for students to learn and explore topics, engage in and build community with students who share similar interests. Residents in these communities participate in engaging learning events and activities related to the theme of the community. Please read the description and student expectations of the residential themed community before continuing with the application!
