Dear Pomona community,
I’m very excited to have joined Pomona as its new Chief Communications Officer (CCO) this July.
I bring over two decades of strategic communications leadership to the College, and most recently served as Assistant Vice President of Executive and Community Communications at the University of Southern California (USC). I know Pomona to be a remarkable institution whose faculty and administration put student belonging, experience and success at the heart of every endeavor. I feel very fortunate for this opportunity to lead our talented Communications team and help tell Pomona’s story.
More than anything, I’m looking forward to collaborating with our gifted academic community on a host of important initiatives and showing the enduring value of the liberal arts in shaping the next generation of leaders, scholars, artists and engaged citizens.
As a newcomer to the Pomona community, I know that your support and input will be an invaluable ingredient to my team’s success. Your ideas and feedback will always be welcome and I hope you won’t hesitate to reach out!
—Eric Abelev
