A Message from Your Class of 2000 Reunion Chair
We loved our time at Pomona and look back on it fondly. It's where we made lifelong friends, explored our interests and passions and set out the course of the rest of our adult lives. We all keep in touch with a smaller circle of Sagehens. Reunion weekend is an amazing chance for us to see and catch up with a lot more of our class. We're excited to hear about your families, your work and how each of you is bearing your "added riches in trust for mankind."
