"The unfortunate reality for many students is that they are barred from many educational opportunities for financial reasons, me included. I’m thankful for the experience that both myself and my peers have had in being able to attend Pomona College and partake in research and internship experiences with the reliance of donors willing to help us. I hope the donors realize that the contributions they make have profound impacts in our lives."

The Committee on Social Responsibility

The Board is working with the President’s Office to reestablish a Committee on Social Responsibility (CSR), which would function to review investment issues as well as other campus concerns brought to its attention in proposal form. After appropriate investigation and consideration, the CSR shall advise the President on the concerns brought forward.

Work to further define and constitute this CSR will begin next in the Spring of 2025 and additional details will be shared as they are available.
