FROM THE DESK OF THE VICE PRESIDENT AND DEAN OF STUDENTS:<br />
Welcome to <strong>Orientation</strong> and to the start of your four years at <strong>Pomona</strong> <strong>College</strong>. We are delighted that you - the Class of<br />
2016 - have arrived. Months have been spent planning for and anticipating this week when you would finally be part of<br />
the <strong>College</strong> community.<br />
All of the people you will meet including faculty, deans, sponsors, mentors, administrators, RA’s, and other<br />
students want to help you adjust and find a place here. <strong>Pomona</strong> makes available to you a broad array of academic and<br />
social experiences. You will have the opportunity to select a major and a career, learn to live with a roommate, try rock<br />
climbing for the first time, speak another language and travel abroad. There are more choices to take advantage of than<br />
any one person could possibly experience in four short years. Look for the set of interests and activities that will be<br />
genuinely stimulating and satisfying to you. Use the systems that exist within the <strong>College</strong> to find help when you need it<br />
and to gather information about opportunities. Be active both intellectually and socially, improve and contribute to those<br />
things that merit your attention.<br />
I am joined by faculty, staff and students in welcoming you to campus. We can’t wait to meet you!<br />
Miriam Feldblum<br />
