These include an extensive research library, a sophisticated academic computing system, and classrooms and laboratories equipped to prepare students for careers in a technological and rapidly changing world. The first and foremost resource Pomona offers students, however, is people. Pomona seeks the most accomplished teachers and scholars for its faculty. Professors, not graduate assistants, teach all the classes at the College, including laboratory sections in the sciences. To ensure expert instruction in every field, all the faculty hold the Ph.D. or terminal degrees.
Professors are available everyday of the week by appointment and regularly scheduled office hours.
It is quite common for students and faculty to share meals and even for faculty to participate on campus in various extra-curricular activities ranging from intramural sports to music recitals. Likewise, fellow students also play an instrumental role in the success of the College. Seniors and juniors serve as mentors and department liaisons, writing fellows, and tutors. They are available on a daily basis both on a walk in basis and by appointment. Sophomores are encouraged to visit with department liaisons when choosing a major or picking classes.
