At Pomona, “bridges” isn’t just a campus venue. Bridges are what we’re always building—between ideas and disciplines, and among each other. The interconnectedness inherent in a liberal arts education, in our community, and at The Claremont Colleges consortium leads to a thriving academic environment and a richer understanding of the world around us. Through expanded, inventive programming that supports mental, physical and emotional well-being, we nurture our whole community and elevate our ability to pursue transformative knowledge.
Highlighted Initiatives

The Center for Athletics, Recreation and Wellness (CARW) serves as the home of Sagehen Athletics and a space for students, faculty and staff to access healthy activity. Between the fitness area, recreational gym and assortment of studios used for various classes, the CARW offers no shortage of activities promoting a healthy lifestyle—the backbone of student wellness and success.
Career Development Initiative
No matter the field, Pomona alumni enter the workforce prepared to make tangible impacts on the issues of our time. During their studies, students are encouraged to apply to partake in hands-on research experiences through SURP and career-focused internships through PCIP. Already, our reporting shows an overwhelming majority of recent graduates participate in career activities such as jobs, internships, service opportunities, further education, fellowships or another form of post-graduate path. The pool of successful alumni grows by the year.
Through this strategic initiative, the College has set an ambitious goal: ensuring that every student is given the opportunity to participate in a SURP or PCIP experience while at Pomona.
