Celebrating Campaign Pomona

“Five years ago, the Pomona College community set out on a daring quest to make an extraordinary liberal arts education even better—more equitable, more experiential, more sustainable and better suited to the needs of the 21st century,” President David Oxtoby told the crowd of campaign donors, trustees, faculty, staff and students who gathered on Feb. 27 to celebrate the successful conclusion of Campaign Pomona: Daring Minds. “I am proud to report that together, we have done all of that and more.” The campaign closed Dec. 31, 2015, after eclipsing its $250 million goal with a total of $316 million raised.
