On National Siblings Day (April 10), we went looking for some Sagehen siblings on campus. We love these two pairs:
Chidimma Chukwuocha ’29,
Molecular Biology; Chimuanya Chukwuocha ’28, Neuroscience
Both are QuestBridge Scholars from East Hartford, Connecticut. When Chim was matched with Pomona, Chidimma says her “heart dropped” because of how far away her sister would be. A year later, Chidimma also matched with Pomona, and Chim “was the happiest for me. She started tearing up.”
Isadora Raines-Hepple ’28, Neuroscience
Jackson Raines-Hepple ’28, Geology
The twins left Fresno, California, to become roommates here and sing in the Pomona College Choir and Glee Club together. “A lot of our mutual friends are in Glee Club,” says Jackson. “We have a lot of the same friends and a lot of different ones.”
