Pomona College (/pəˈmoʊnə/ (listen) pə-MOH-nə[4]) is a private liberal arts college in Claremont, California. It was established in 1887 by a group of Congregationalists who wanted to recreate a "college of the New England type" in Southern California, and in 1925 it became the founding member of the Claremont Colleges consortium of adjacent, affiliated institutions.

Pomona is a four-year undergraduate institution and enrolled approximately 0 students as of the Template:Semester 2021 semester. It offers 48 majors in liberal arts disciplines and roughly 650 courses, though students have access to more than 2000 additional courses at the other Claremont Colleges. The college's [convert: needs a number] campus is in a residential community 35 miles (56 km) east of downtown Los Angeles near the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains.

Pomona has the lowest acceptance rate of any U.S. liberal arts college, and is generally considered the most prestigious liberal arts college in the American West and one of the most prestigious in the country.[5] It has a $NaN endowment (As of November 2021), giving it the seventh-highest endowment per student of any college or university in the U.S. The college's student body is noted for its racial,[6][7] geographic,[8] and socioeconomic[7][9] diversity. Its athletics teams are fielded jointly with Pitzer College and compete as the Sagehens in the SCIAC, a Division III conference.

Prominent alumni of Pomona include Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony award winners; U.S. Senators, ambassadors, and other federal officials; Pulitzer Prize recipients; billionaire executives; a Nobel Prize laureate; National Academies members; and Olympic athletes.[10] The college is a top producer of Fulbright scholars[11] and recipients of other fellowships.

## History

### Founding era

Pomona College was established as a coeducational and nonsectarian Christian institution on October 14, 1887, amidst a real estate boom and anticipated population influx precipitated by the arrival of a transcontinental railroad to Southern California.[14][15] Its founders, a regional group of Congregationalists, sought to create a college in the mold of the New England institutions where many of them had been educated.[14][16][17] Classes first began at Ayer Cottage, a rental house in Pomona, California, on September 12, 1888, with a permanent campus planned at Piedmont Mesa four miles north of the city.[14][18] That year, as the real estate bubble burst, making the Piedmont campus untenable, the college was offered the site of an unfinished hotel (which it later renamed Sumner Hall[13]) in the nearby, recently founded town of Claremont; it moved there[18] but kept the Pomona name[19] (the city was itself named after the goddess of fruitful abundance in Roman mythology[20]).[21] Trustee Charles B. Sumner led the college during its first years, helping hire its first official president, Cyrus G. Baldwin, in 1890.[21][18][22] The first graduating class, in 1894, had 11 members.[23][24]

Pomona suffered through a severe financial crisis during its early years but managed to survive,[13][24][26] raising enough money to add several buildings to its campus.[27][28] Although the first Asian and black students enrolled in 1897[29] and 1900,[30] respectively, the college (like most others of the era) remained almost all-white throughout this period.[24][31] In 1905, during president George A. Gates' tenure, the college acquired a 64-acre (26 ha) parcel of land to its east known as the Wash.[32][33] In 1911, as high schools became more common in the region, the college eliminated its preparatory department, which had taught pre-college level courses.[34][35] The following year, it committed to a liberal arts model,[36] soon after turning its previously separate schools of art and music into departments within the college.[37][38] In 1914, the Phi Beta Kappa honor society established a chapter at the college.[39][40] Daily attendance at chapel was mandated until 1921,[41][42] and student culture emphasized athletics[43][44] and class rivalries.[45][46] During World War I, male students were divided into three military companies and a Red Cross unit to assist in the war effort.[47][48][49]

### Interwar years

In the early 1920s, Pomona's fourth president, James A. Blaisdell, was confronted with growing demand and considered whether to grow the college into a large university that could acquire additional resources or remain a small institution capable of providing a more intimate educational experience. Ultimately, seeking both, he chose an alternative path inspired by the collegiate university model he observed at Oxford, envisioning a group of independent colleges sharing centralized resources such as a library.[51][52] On October 14, 1925, Pomona's 38th anniversary, the Claremont Colleges were incorporated.[53][54] Construction of the Clark dormitories north of 6th Street began in 1929, a reflection of president Charles Edmunds' prioritization of the college's residential life.[55][56][57] Edmunds, who had previously served as president of Lingnan University in Guangzhou, China, also inspired a growing interest in Asian culture at the college and established its Asian studies program.[58][56]

Pomona's enrollment and budget declined during the Great Depression.[59][60][61] The college reoriented itself toward wartime activities again during World War II ,[62][63][64] hosting an Air Force military meteorology program[65] and Army Specialized Training Program courses in engineering and foreign languages.[50][66]

### Postwar transformations

Pomona's longest-serving president, E. Wilson Lyon, guided the college through a transformational period from 1941 to 1969.[67][62] Following the war, Pomona's enrollment rose above 1000,[68][45] leading to the construction of several residence halls and science facilities.[69][70] Its endowment also grew steadily, due in part to the introduction in 1942 of a deferred giving fundraising scheme pioneered by Allen Hawley called the Pomona Plan, where participants receive a lifetime annuity in exchange for donating to the college upon their death.[71][64][72] The plan's model has since been adopted by many other colleges.[73][74][75]

Men protest the opening of Frary Dining Hall to women in 1957[76]

Lyon made a number of progressive decisions relating to civil rights, including supporting Japanese-American students during internment[63][77][78] and establishing an exchange program with Fisk University, a historically black university in Tennessee, in 1952.[79][80][81] He also ended the gender segregation of Pomona's residential life, first with the opening of Frary Dining Hall (then part of the men's campus) to women beginning in 1957[76] and later with the introduction of co-educational housing in 1968.[82] However, he wavered when it came to some of the more radical student protests against the Vietnam War, and permitted Air Force recruiters to come to campus in 1967.[83][84][85][86] Pomona's previously conservative student body quickly liberalized during this era,[62][85] and its ethnic diversity also began to increase.[87][44][88] In 1969, a bomb exploded at the Carnegie Building, permanently injuring a secretary; no culprit was ever identified.[89][88][90]

During the tenure of president David Alexander from 1969 to 1991, Pomona gained increased prominence on the national stage.[91] The endowment also increased ten-fold, enabling the construction and renovation of a number of buildings.[88] Several identity-based groups, such as the Pomona College Women's Union (founded 1984[92]), established themselves.[93] In the mid-1980s, out-of-state students began to outnumber in-state students.[94]

In 1991, the college converted the dormitory basements used by fraternities into lounges, arguing that this created a more equitable distribution of campus space. The move hastened a lowering of the profile of Greek life on campus.[95][96]

### 21st century

Pomona's Studio Art Hall, completed in 2014, garnered national recognition for its steel-frame design.[97][98]

In the 2000s, under president David W. Oxtoby, Pomona began placing more emphasis on reducing its environmental impact,[99][100] committing in 2003 to obtaining LEED certifications for new buildings[101][102] and launching various sustainability initiatives.[99][101] The college also entered partnerships with several college access groups (including the Posse Foundation in 2004 and QuestBridge in 2005) and committed to meeting the full demonstrated financial need of students through grants rather than loans in 2008.[103] These efforts, combined with Pomona's previously instituted[104] need-blind admission policy, resulted in increased enrollment of low-income and racial minority students.[105]

In 2008, Pomona stopped singing its alma mater at convocation and commencement after it was discovered that the song may have been originally written to be sung as the ensemble finale to a student-produced blackface minstrel show performed on campus in 1909 or 1910. Some alumni protested the move.[100][106][107]

In 2011, Pomona requested proof of legal residency from employees in the midst of a unionization drive by dining hall workers.[108][109] 17 workers who were unable to provide documentation were fired, drawing national media attention and sparking criticism from activists;[108][110] the dining hall staff voted to unionize in 2013.[111][112] A rebranding initiative that year sought to emphasize students' passion and drive, angering students who thought it would lead to a more stressful culture.[113] Several protests in the 2010s criticized the college's handling of sexual assault,[114][115] leading to reforms.[116][117]

In 2017,[118] G. Gabrielle Starr became Pomona's tenth president; she is the first woman and first African American to hold the office.[119][120] From March 2020 through the spring 2021 semester, the college switched to online instruction in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[121][122]

## Campus

Pomona's buildings are connected via a network of visual axes, such as this one on North Campus.[123]

Pomona's [convert: needs a number] campus is in Claremont, California, an affluent suburban residential community[124] 35 miles (56 km) east of downtown Los Angeles .[54] It is directly northwest of the Claremont Village (the city's downtown commercial district) and directly south of the other contiguous Claremont Colleges.[125] The area has a Mediterranean climate[126] and consists of a gentle slope from the alluvial fan of San Antonio Creek in the San Gabriel Mountains to the north.[127]

In its early years, Pomona quickly expanded from its initial home in Sumner Hall, constructing several buildings to accommodate its growing enrollment and ambitions.[128][28] After 1908, development of the campus was guided by master plans from architect Myron Hunt, who envisioned a central quadrangle flanked by buildings connected via visual axes.[123] In 1923, landscape architect Ralph Cornell expanded on Hunt's plans, envisioning a "college in a garden" defined by native Southern California vegetation.[123] President James Blaisdell's decision to purchase undeveloped land around Pomona while it was still available later gave the college room to grow and found the consortium.[129] Many of the earlier buildings were constructed in the Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival styles, with stucco walls and red terracotta tile roofs.[48] Other and later construction incorporated elements of neoclassical, Victorian, Italian Romanesque, modern, and postmodern styles.[123] As a result, the present campus features a varied blend of architectural styles.[130] Most buildings are three or fewer stories in height,[131] and are designed to facilitate both indoor and outdoor use.[130]

The campus consists of 88 facilities (As of 2020),[133] including 70 addressed buildings.[134] It is bounded by First Street on the south, Mills and Amherst Avenues on the east, Eighth Street on the north, and Harvard Avenue on the west.[131] It is informally divided into North Campus and South Campus by Sixth Street,[135] with most academic buildings in the western half and a naturalistic area known as the Wash in the east.[131]

Pomona has undertaken initiatives to make its campus more sustainable, including requiring that all new construction be built to LEED Gold standards,[136] replacing turf with drought-tolerant landscaping,[137] and committing to achieving carbon neutrality without the aid of purchased carbon credits by 2030.[138] The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education gave the college a gold rating in its 2018 Sustainable Campus Index.[139]

### South Campus

Crookshank Hall in the Stanley Academic Quadrangle

South Campus consists of mostly first-year and second-year housing and academic buildings for the social sciences, arts, and humanities.[131]

South of Bonita Avenue is a row of residence halls, comprising Wig Hall (built 1959), Harwood Court (built 1921), Lyon Court (built 1990), Mudd-Blaisdell Halls (built 1947 and 1936, respectively), and Gibson Hall (built 1949).[131] Sumner Hall, the home of admissions and several other administrative departments, is located to the north of the dormitories, and Frank Dining Hall is located to the east.[131] Oldenborg Center, a foreign language housing option that includes a foreign language dining hall, is across from Sumner.[140][141]

Marston Quadrangle forms the center of Pomona's campus.
Template:Panorama link

South Campus has several arts buildings and performance venues. Bridges Auditorium ("Big Bridges", built 1931) is used for concerts and speakers and has a capacity of 2,500.[142][143] Bridges Hall of Music ("Little Bridges", built 1915) is a concert hall with seating for 550.[144] It is adjacent to Thatcher Music Building (built 1970).[123] On the western edge of campus is the Benton Museum of Art (built 2020), which has a collection of approximately 15,000 works,[145] including Italian Renaissance panel paintings, indigenous American art and artifacts, and American and European prints, drawings, and photographs.[146][147] The Seaver Theatre Complex (built 1990) has a 335-seat thrust stage theater and 125-seat black box theater, among other facilities.[148] The Studio Art Hall (built 2014) garnered national recognition for its steel-frame design.[97][98] Pendleton Dance Center (built 1970 as a women's gym) is south of the residence halls.[123]

Pomona's main social science and humanities buildings are located west of College Avenue. They include the Carnegie Building (built 1908 as a library),[131] Hahn Hall (built 1990),[123] and the three buildings of the Stanley Academic Quadrangle: Pearsons Hall (built 1898), Crookshank Hall (built 1922), and Mason Hall (built 1923).[131]

Marston Quadrangle, a 5-acre (2 ha) lawn framed by California sycamore and coastal redwood trees, serves as a central artery for the campus, anchored by Carnegie on the west and Bridges Auditorium on the east.[123] To its north is Alexander Hall (built 1991), which houses administrative offices,[131] and the Smith Campus Center (built 1999), home to many student services, as well as a recreation room, the Coop Store, and two restaurants.[149] East of the Smith Campus Center is the Rains Center (built 1989 and renovated 2021[150]), Pomona's primary indoor athletics and recreation facility, and Smiley Hall dormitory (built 1908).[131]

<section begin="gates"/>

The college gates historically marked the northern edge of Pomona's campus.

At the intersection of Sixth Street and College Avenue are the college gates, built in 1914, which mark the historical northern terminus of the campus. They bear two quotes from President Blaisdell. On the north is "let only the eager, thoughtful and reverent enter here", and on the south is "They only are loyal to this college who departing bear their added riches in trust for mankind". Per campus tradition, enrolling students walk south through the gates during orientation and seniors walk north through the gates shortly before graduation.[151][152]<section end="gates"/>

The less-developed 40-acre (16 ha)[123] eastern portion of campus is known as the Wash (formally Blanchard Park[153]),[33] and contains a large grove of coast live oak trees,[154] as well as many athletics facilities. It is also home to the Sontag Greek Theatre (built 1914), an outdoor amphitheater; the Brackett Observatory (built 1908); and the Pomona College Organic Farm, an experiment in sustainable agriculture.[131]

### North Campus

North Campus was designed by architect Sumner Spaulding,[155] and consists primarily of residential buildings for third- and fourth-year students and academic buildings for the natural sciences.[131]

The academic buildings are located to the west of North College Way. They include Lincoln and Edmunds Halls (built 2007), Andrew Science Hall and Estella Laboratory (built 2015), the Seeley G. Mudd Building (built 1983[156]), Seaver North (built 1964[157]), Seaver South (built 1958[70]), and the Seaver Biology Building (built 2005[158]).[131] The courtyard between Lincoln and Edmunds contains Dividing the Light, a skyspace by well-known artist and alumnus James Turrell.[159][160]

The residence halls include the Clark Halls (I, III, and V;[lower-alpha 2] built 1930), Walker Hall (built 1953), Norton Hall (built 1956), Lawry Court (built 1980), and Dialynas and Sontag Halls (built 2011).[131] The North Campus dining hall, Frary Dining Hall (built 1930), features a vaulted ceiling and is the location of the murals Prometheus by José Clemente Orozco[161] and Genesis by Rico Lebrun.[162][131]

### Other facilities

The college also owns the 53-acre (21 ha) Trails Ends Ranch (a wilderness area in the Webb Canyon north of campus),[163][164] the 320-acre (130 ha) Mildred Pitt Ranch in southeastern Monterey County,[165] and the Halona Lodge retreat center (built 1931) in Idyllwild, California.[166][167] The astronomy department built and operates a telescope at the Table Mountain Observatory.[168]

Along the north side of campus are several joint buildings maintained by The Claremont Colleges Services. These include the Tranquada Student Center, home to student health and psychological services, Campus Safety, and the Huntley Bookstore.[131] {{#section:Claremont Colleges|library holdings}} The consortium also owns the Robert J. Bernard Field Station north of Foothill Boulevard.[169]

## Organization and administration

### Governance

Pomona is governed as a nonprofit organization by a board of trustees responsible for overseeing the long-term interests of the college.[170] The board consists of up to 42 members, most of whom are elected to four-year terms with a term limit of 12 years.[lower-alpha 3][170] It is responsible for hiring the college's president (currently ), approving budgets, setting overarching policies, and various other tasks.[170] The president, in turn, oversees the college's general operation, assisted by a faculty cabinet.[170] Other officer and leadership roles defined in the college's bylaws are vice president for academic affairs and dean of the college, vice president for student affairs and dean of students, vice president for advancement, vice president and treasurer, vice president and dean of admissions and financial aid, registrar, and secretary to the board.[170] The college has total employees as of the Template:Semester 2021 semester. Pomona operates under a shared governance model, in which faculty and students sit on many policymaking committees and have a degree of control over other major decisions.[171][172][173]

Honnold Library, a shared Claremont Colleges resource

Pomona is the founding member of the Claremont Colleges (colloquially "7Cs", for "seven colleges"), a consortium of five undergraduate liberal arts colleges ("5Cs")—Pomona, Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, and Pitzer—and two graduate schools—Claremont Graduate University and Keck Graduate Institute. All are located in Claremont. Although each member has individual autonomy and a distinct identity,[174] there is substantial collaboration through The Claremont Colleges Services (TCCS), a coordinating entity that manages the central library, campus safety services, health services, and various other resources.[175] Overall, the 7Cs have been praised by higher education experts for their close cooperation,[176] although there have been occasional tensions.[177][178] Pomona is the largest[178] and wealthiest member.[179]

Pomona is also a member of several other consortia of selective colleges, including the 568 Group,[180] the Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges,[181] the Oberlin Group,[182] and the Annapolis Group.[183] The college is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission, which reaffirmed its status in 2021 with particular praise for its diversity initiatives.[184][185]

### Finances

Pomona has an endowment of $NaN (As of November 2021), giving it the seventh-highest endowment per student of any college or university in the U.S.[186] The college's total assets (which includes the value of its campus) are $NaN. Its operating budget for the 2021–2022 academic year is $NaN, of which roughly half is funded by endowment earnings.[187] 38 percent of the budget was allocated to instruction, 2 percent to research, 1 percent to public service, 11 percent to academic support, 13 percent to student services, 18 percent to institutional support, and 17 percent to auxiliary expenses. In October 2020, Fitch Ratings gave the college a AAA bond credit rating, its highest rating, reflecting an "extremely strong financial profile".[188]

## Academics and programs

Bridges Hall of Music hosts a variety of performances by the college's musical ensembles.

Pomona offers instruction in the liberal arts disciplines and awards the bachelor of arts degree.[189] The college operates on a semester system,[190] with a normal course load of four full-credit classes per semester.[191] 32 credits and a C average GPA are needed to graduate, along with the requirements of a major, the first-year critical inquiry seminar, at least one course in each of six "breadth of study" areas,[lower-alpha 4] proficiency in a foreign language, two physical education courses, a writing intensive course, a speaking intensive course, and an "analyzing difference" course (typically examining a type of structural inequality).[192]

Pomona offers 48 majors,[189] most of which also have a corresponding minor.[lower-alpha 5][193] For the 2020 graduation cohort, 22 percent of students majored in the arts and humanities, 37 percent in the natural sciences, 21 percent in the social sciences, and 19 percent in interdisciplinary fields.[194] 15 percent of students completed a double major, 29 percent completed a minor, and 3 percent completed multiple minors.[195] The college does not permit majoring in pre-professional disciplines such as medicine or law but offers academic advising for those areas[196][197] and 3-2 engineering programs with CalTech, Dartmouth, and Washington University.[198]

### Courses

Individually, Pomona offers approximately 650 courses per semester.[199] However, students may take a significant portion[lower-alpha 6] of their courses at the other Claremont Colleges, enabling access to approximately 2700 courses total.[191] The academic calendars and registration procedures across the colleges are synchronized and consolidated,[200] and there are no additional fees for cross-enrollment.[94] In addition, students may create independent study courses evaluated by faculty mentors.[201]

Estella Laboratory, opened in 2015, houses Pomona's physics, astronomy, and math programs.

All classes at Pomona are taught by professors.[202] The average class size is 15;[199] for the fall 2020 semester, 96 percent of traditional courses[lower-alpha 7] had under 30 students, and only one had 50 or more students.[203] The college employs faculty members as of the Template:Semester 2021 semester, approximately three quarters of whom are full-time,[203] resulting in a 7:1 ratio of students to full-time equivalent professors.[203] Among full-time faculty, 35 percent are members of racial minority groups, 46 percent are women, and 98 percent have a doctorate or other terminal degree in their field.[203] Students and professors often form close relationships,[204] and the college provides faculty with free meals that can be used to interact with students.[173] Semesters end with a week-long final examination period preceded by two reading days.[205] The college operates several resource centers to help students develop academic skills, including the Quantitative Skills Center (QSC);[206][207] the Center for Speaking, Writing, and the Image;[208] and the Foreign Language Resource Center (FLRC).[209]

### Research, study abroad, and professional development

More than half of Pomona students conduct research with faculty.[210][211] The college sponsors a Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) every year, in which more than 200 students are paid a stipend of up to $5,600 to conduct research with professors or pursue independent research projects with professorial mentorship.[212][213] The Pomona College Humanities Studio, established in 2018, supports research in the humanities.[214] Pomona is home to the Pacific Basin Institute, a research institute that studies issues pertaining to the Pacific Rim.[215] {{#section:Claremont Colleges|Hive}}

Approximately half of Pomona students study abroad.[210] (As of 2021), the college offers 63 pre-approved programs in 36 countries.[216] Pomona also offers study-away programs for Washington, D.C., Silicon Valley, and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Massachusetts, and semester exchanges at Colby, Spelman, and Swarthmore colleges.[198]

Pomona's Career Development Office is located in Alexander Hall.

The Pomona College Career Development Office (CDO) provides students and alumni with career advising, networking, and other pre-professional opportunities. It runs the Pomona College Internship Program (PCIP), which provides stipends for completing unpaid or underpaid internships during the semester or summer; more than 250 students participate annually.[217][218] The office also connects students with alumni for networking and mentoring via the Sagehen Connect platform.[219] During the 2015–2016 academic year, 175 employers hosted on-site informational events at the Claremont Colleges and 265 unique organizations were represented in 9 career fairs.[219]

### Outcomes

For the 2019 entering class, 97 percent of students returned for their second year, giving Pomona one of the highest retention rates of any college or university in the U.S.[220] For the 2014 entering class, 89 percent of students graduated within four years (the highest rate of any U.S. liberal arts college[221]) and 94 percent graduated within six years.[203]

Within 10 years, 81 percent of Pomona graduates attend graduate or professional school.[210] The college ranked 10th among all U.S. colleges and universities for doctorates awarded to alumni per capita, according to data collected by the National Science Foundation.[222] The top destinations between 2009 and 2018 (in order) were the University of California, Los Angeles; the University of California, Berkeley; Harvard University; the University of Southern California; and Stanford University.[219] A 2020 analysis of top feeder schools per capita to the highest-ranked U.S. medical, business, and law schools placed Pomona 10th for medical schools, 16th for business schools, and 10th for law schools.[223]

The top industries for graduates are technology; education; consulting and professional services; finance; government, law, and politics; arts, entertainment, and media; healthcare and social services; nonprofits; and research.[224][225][226] Pomona alumni earn a median early career salary of $69,100 and a median mid-career salary of $137,800, according to 2020 survey data from PayScale.[227]

Many Pomona students pursue competitive postgraduate fellowships. The college ranks among the top producers of Churchill Scholars,[228] Fulbright Scholars,[11][229][230] Goldwater Scholars,[231] Marshall Scholars,[232] National Science Foundation graduate research fellows,[233] and Rhodes Scholars.[234]

## Student life

### Residential life

Template:Panorama link

Pomona is a residential campus, and virtually all students live on campus for all four years in one of the college's 16 residence halls.[298] All first-year students live on South Campus, and most third- and fourth-year students live on North Campus.[298] All incoming students are placed into a sponsor group, with 10–20 peers and two or three upperclass "sponsors"[299][300] tasked with easing the transition to college life but not enforcing rules (a duty given to resident advisors).[301][302][303] Sponsor groups often share activities such as "fountaining", a tradition in which students are thrown into a campus fountain on their birthday.[304] The program dates back to 1927 for women and was expanded in 1950 to include men.[305][306]

Pomona's social scene is intertwined with that of the other 5Cs, with many activities and events shared between the colleges.[174] The college's alcohol policies are aimed at encouraging responsible consumption, and include a strict ban of hard liquor on South Campus.[307][308] Dedicated substance-free housing is also offered.[298] Overall, drinking culture is present but does not dominate over other elements of campus life,[309][310] nor does athletics culture.[311] Violations of the student code are typically handled by the student-run Judicial Council, known as "J-Board".[312][313]

Frary Dining Hall on North Campus is the largest of Pomona's three dining halls.[314]
Template:Panorama link

Pomona's dining services are run in-house.[315] All on-campus students are required to have a meal plan,[316] usable at any of the Claremont Colleges' seven buffet-style dining halls.[lower-alpha 8] The menus emphasize sustainable and healthy options, and the food quality is generally praised.[309][318] Every night Sunday through Wednesday, Frary Dining Hall opens for a late-night snack.[319][320][321] Meal plans also include "Flex Dollars" usable at the various campus eateries, including the Coop Fountain, Coop Store, and sit-down Sagehen Café in the Smith Campus Center.[322]

### Campus organizations

The Smith Campus Center is a focal point of campus life and houses the offices of the Associated Students of Pomona College.[323]
Template:Panorama link

Some extracurricular organizations at Pomona are specific to the college, whereas others are open to students at all of the Claremont Colleges.[174] In total, there are nearly 300 clubs and organizations across the 5Cs.[324]

The Associated Students of Pomona College (ASPC) serves as Pomona's official student government.[325][326] Composed of elected representatives and appointed committee members, ASPC distributes funding for clubs and organizations, represents Pomona's student body in discussions with the administration, runs student programming (such as the Yule Ball dance[327] and Ski-Beach Day[328]) through the Pomona Events Committee (PEC), and provides various student services such as an airport rideshare program.[329][330]

{{#section:Claremont Colleges|Media}} Pomona's yearbook, Metate, was founded in 1894 and discontinued in 2012.[331]

Pomona has numerous clubs or support offices which provide resources and mentoring programs for students with particular identities. These include the Women's Union (WU), Office of Black Student Affairs (OBSA), Asian American Resource Center (AARC), Chicano Latino Student Affairs (CLSA), Improving Dreams Equality Access and Success (IDEAS, which supports undocumented and DACA students), International Student Mentor Program (ISMP), Multi-Ethnic and Multi-Racial Group Exchange (MERGE), Indigenous Peer Mentoring Program (IPMP), South Asian Mentorship Program (SAMP), Students of Color Alliance (SOCA), Queer Resource Center (QRC), and chaplains office.[324][332][333] The college's first-generation and low-income community, FLI Scholars, has more than 200 members.[334] The Campus Advocates and EmPOWER Center support survivors of sexual violence and work to promote consent culture.[335][336]

The Pomona Student Union (PSU) facilitates the discussion of political and social issues on campus by hosting discussions, panels, and debates with prominent speakers holding diverse viewpoints.[337] Other speech and debate organizations include a mock trial team, model UN team, and debate union.[338][324] Pomona's secret society, Mufti, is known for gluing small sheets of paper around campus with cryptic puns offering social commentary on campus happenings.[339][340]

Pomona's music department manages several ensembles, including an orchestra, band, choir, glee club, jazz ensemble, and Balinese gamelan ensemble.[341] All students can receive private music lessons at no cost.[342] {{#section:Claremont Colleges|A capella}}

The Draper Center for Community Partnerships, established in 2009, coordinates Pomona's various community engagement programs.[343] These include mentoring for local youth communities, English tutoring for Pomona staff, and the Alternabreak volunteering trips over spring break.[344] It also operates the Pomona Academy for Youth Success (PAYS), a three-year pre-college summer program for local low-income and first-generation students of color.[345]

Pomona has two remaining local Greek organizations, Sigma Tau and Kappa Delta, both of which are co-educational.[346] Neither have special housing, and they are not considered to have a major impact on the social scene on campus akin to that of Greek organizations at many other U.S. colleges.[347][346][96]

### Traditions

#### 47 reverence

This section is an excerpt from Traditions of Pomona College § 47 reverence[ edit ]

#### Other traditions

As part of Pomona's 10-day orientation, incoming students spend four days off campus completing an "Orientation Adventure" or "OA" trip. Begun in 1995, the OA program is one of the oldest outdoor orientation programs in the nation.[348]

Every spring, the college hosts "Ski-Beach Day", in which students visit a ski resort in the morning and then head to the beach after lunch.[349] The tradition dates back to an annual mountain picnic established in 1891.[349]

Since the 1970s, Pomona has used a cinder block flood barrier along the northern edge of its campus, Walker Wall, as a free speech wall.[350] Over the years, provocative postings on the wall have spawned a number of controversies.[351][352][353][354]

### Transportation

Claremont's train station is located directly south of campus.

Pomona's campus is located immediately north of Claremont Station,[125] where the Metrolink San Bernardino Line train provides regular service to Los Angeles Union Station (the city's main transit hub)[355] and the Foothill Transit bus system connects to cities in the San Gabriel Valley and Pomona Valley.[356]

Pomona's Green Bikes program maintains a fleet of more than 300 bicycles that are rented to students each semester free of charge.[357] The college also has several Zipcar vehicles on campus that may be rented, and owns vehicles which can be checked out for club and extracurricular purposes. PEC and Smith Campus Center off-campus events are usually served with the college's 34-passenger bus, the Sagecoach.[358]

### Athletics

A Pomona-Pitzer football game

Pomona's varsity athletics teams compete in conjunction with Pitzer College as the Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens.[359] The 11 women's and 10 men's teams participate in NCAA Division III in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC).[359] Pomona-Pitzer's mascot is Cecil the Sagehen, a greater sage-grouse, and its colors are blue and orange.[360] Its main rival is the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Stags and Athenas (CMS), the other sports combination of the Claremont Colleges.[361] {{#section:Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens|recent ranking}}

Club and intramural sports are also offered in various areas, such as dodgeball, flag football, and surfing.[362][363] The physical education department offers a variety of activity classes each semester, such as karate, playground games, geocaching, and social dance.[364]

Athletics facilities at Pomona include five basketball courts, four racquetball courts, two squash courts, a weight room, an exercise room, two pools, two tennis court complexes, a football field, a track, a softball field, a baseball field, and four fields for soccer, lacrosse, ultimate frisbee, and field hockey.[365]

#### Athletics history

The football team in 1911

Pomona's first intercollegiate sports teams were formed in 1895.[366] They competed under a variety of names in the school's early years; the name "Sagehen" first appeared in 1913 and became the sole moniker in 1917.[367] Pomona was one of the three founding members of the SCIAC in 1914, and its football team played in the inaugural game at the Los Angeles Coliseum in 1923.[366] In 1946, Pomona joined with Claremont Men's College (which would later be renamed Claremont McKenna College) to compete as Pomona-Claremont.[366] The teams separated in 1956, and Pomona's athletics program operated independently until it joined with Pitzer College in 1970.[366]
