The world doesn’t need more of the same.
For nearly 140 years, Pomona has cultivated people who ask different questions, connect ideas across boundaries and imagine what does not yet exist. Today, that kind of thinking matters more than ever.
The questions shaping our world are becoming more complex. Meeting them will require people who can think across disciplines, navigate differences, embrace complexity and turn insight into action. Pomona has a responsibility to prepare more of them. Originals: The Campaign for Pomona College will expand access for exceptional students, advance teaching and discovery, strengthen the communities that help students thrive, connect generations of Sagehens and ensure Pomona has the independence and strength to lead for generations to come.
Because original ideas don’t happen by accident. We create the conditions that allow them to emerge.
The future is already taking shape
Record-breaking generosity is bringing Pomona’s most ambitious ideas to life.
Originals are made in community
That’s why Originals is more than a fundraising campaign. It is an invitation to participate in Pomona’s future.
Be part of what comes next
Original ideas change the world. But first, someone has to make room for them.
That someone can be you.
