Dear Parents, Guardians, and Family Members,
I am delighted to extend an invitation to you and your families to join us for
Pomona Family Weekend, Feb. 12-14, 2010.
Our tradition of inviting families to campus is a great opportunity for your
students to share their Pomona College experience with loved ones. Parents and
families are able to meet and interact with faculty, staff and other members of
the Pomona College community. Come and enjoy a little sample of what our
students experience on a daily basis! It is also a wonderful opportunity for all
of us to continue our conversations with you, and welcome you again into the
Pomona College community.
The Office of Campus Life and the Parent Relations Office are currently crafting
a rich and exciting schedule of events that promises to provide a variety of
activities throughout the weekend. We want our guests to meet faculty,
experience college, and engage in a range of academic and campus life
discussions. Visit a Friday morning class and be part of the academic process.
Join the Student Affairs staff in a discussion about life on campus at Pomona College.
Go to an athletic event and cheer for our Sagehens. Attend a special interest
lecture presented by some of our prestigious faculty. These are but a few things
that you and your family can do during your visit to our campus.
Some of this year's highlights are:
"Says You" Live Show Taping.
"Says You," the national public radio game show of "words
and whimsy, bluff and bluster" with host Richard Sher, will be doing a special
live taping of the program, on the Pomona College campus, during Family Weekend.
The program features a regular group of panelists, word games, language games,
brain teasers, trivia and parlor games. Tickets are available to Family Weekend
participants at the special price of $10 each.
Student Affairs Panel. Discuss
life on campus with members of the Office of Student Affairs.
Working closely with students and faculty, the Student Affairs division aims to
provide co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities for you to further
pursue your intellectual interests, develop leadership skills, create inclusive
and supportive communities on campus, and engage in meaningful volunteer
activities, internship programs, and community-based work beyond the campus. The
Office of Student Affairs is committed to providing students with the
opportunities to take personal responsibility for living and learning at Pomona
and beyond.
Musical Concert - Dual Pianos with Karl and Margaret Kohn. With his wife, Margaret, Karl Kohn has given two-piano
concerts throughout this country and Europe, including definitive performances
of works by Bartók, Berio, Stravinsky, Messiaen, Ligeti, and Boulez
at. They will be performing at the Mabel Shaw Bridges Auditorium, better known as "Little Bridges." The venue
seats 600 and provides a remarkable space for public events and performances of
all kinds, including those of the Pomona College Orchestra, Choir, Glee Club,
and other musical ensembles.
Ten-Minute Play Festival.
Featuring plays written, produced and performed by members of the Pomona College
Community, the Ten-Minute Play Festival has become one of the highlights of
Family Weekend. Theater has a global resonance. It is a reflection of
experience, identity, and culture. This festival seeks to identify the totality
of experiences and voices that constitute the Claremont College community by
asking: "How do contorted views of reality shape your future? What are your
dreams? How do you survive?". This festival aspires to throw open the doors of
theatrical possibilities by finding plays that energize, enlighten, and unify
our community.
Registration starts in December, 2009. Until then, feel free to contact The
Office of Campus Life for more information. I look forward to having you join us
for the weekend!
Sincerely,
Miriam Feldblum
Vice President and Dean of Students
