Five priorities. One vision for what Pomona can make possible.
Original thinking has always required the right conditions: access to opportunity. Exceptional teachers and mentors. The freedom to cross boundaries and pursue unexpected questions. A community that supports the whole person. Connections that extend across generations. And an institution strong enough to keep imagining what comes next.
Originals is an investment in those conditions.
Together, five campaign priorities will expand who can experience Pomona, advance the distinctive education students find here, strengthen the community that surrounds them, connect Sagehens across lifetimes and ensure that Pomona has the resources and independence to lead for generations to come.
Because the next original idea could begin anywhere. Our job is to make sure it can begin here.
Make Pomona Accessible
By expanding financial aid and student support, we can open Pomona to more exceptional students and give every Sagehen the freedom to participate fully, pursue unexpected paths and contribute their perspectives to our community.
Lead in a Changing World
Through faculty-student research, interdisciplinary inquiry, global learning and immersive experiences, Pomona will give students more opportunities to pursue questions whose answers aren’t yet known.
Nurture Our Whole Community
By strengthening wellness, mentorship, athletics, student life and opportunities for connection, we can create the conditions in which every Sagehen can flourish.
Connect Across Lifetimes
By creating more opportunities for Sagehens to mentor students, open doors, share expertise, return as teachers and connect with one another, we can transform an alumni network into something more powerful.
Ensure Pomona Endures
By investing in Pomona’s long-term strength, we will preserve the independence and flexibility to pursue emerging opportunities, support exceptional people and respond to questions and challenges we cannot yet anticipate.
