Veteran News

Pomona College is offering admission today to a new generation of eager, thoughtful and reverent Sagehen students. The admitted Class of 2029 is expected to be one of the most academically accomplished to date.

Two Army veterans transferred to Pomona College ahead of the 2023-24 school year. They immediately found a welcoming community and peers who helped them acclimate to life on campus.

As a transfer student to Pomona, Jordan Petersen majored in neuroscience and is now a third-year medical student at the University of Hawai’i John A. Burns School of Medicine.

This year’s cohort of transfer students at Pomona College includes four veterans of the Army, Marine Corps and Air Force. They bring with them formative life experiences and a deep sense of gratitude and purpose in being here.

Gabe Romero ’12, a geology major, serves in the U.S. Army as an aeromedical evacuation officer and pilot.

To ensure student veterans successfully attain undergraduate degrees, Pomona College has partnered with the Warrior-Scholar Project to host a humanities boot camp.
