Admission Ambassadors
A Love Letter to the Scripps Admissions Office
Apparently, summer hires usually didn’t come back for the school year, which was quite baffling to me. Why wouldn’t you want to stay at the Scripps admissions office? I asked if I could come back because working at the office during the summer of 2022 was where my life began. My freshman year was tumultuous, […]

Read MoreFarewell from a Fall Semester Graduate
Transferring to Scripps was one of the best choices I have made in my college career. Of course, it came with challenges, but ultimately, the process led to so much joy, laughter, friendship, and love (and an extra semester of fun with the amazing community I have met!). I am so grateful for the connections […]
Read MoreScience Research at Scripps
As I have grown throughout my college career, I have seen how important it is to apply skills outside of the classroom, especially when studying the natural sciences. Acid-base chemical properties are just concepts until you can perform a titration yourself, and learning about parasites is not the same as physically identifying them under a […]

Read MoreMeet Alyssa ’27
Hihi! I’m Alyssa, a second-year originally from El Monte, CA but then grew up in Socorro, NM, a tiny town (the main street is literally about 2 miles long) I call home. About 13 hours away now, I’d always wanted to experience being away or independent from my family. Very rarely do feelings of homesickness […]

Read MoreSageMUN — Leadership and conference planning as a college student
I’ve talked a little bit about what it’s like to compete as a member of the Pomona College Model United Nations (PCMUN) team. As a reminder – despite having Pomona in the name the PCMUN team is 4C (CMC has their own team). Aside from going to conferences, we actually host our own. SageMUN is […]
Read MoreThings to Do in the Claremont Village
Ahh, the Claremont Village–my favorite cartoon town. When I first got to campus I kept saying it looked like a theme park (this is a good thing). All the store fronts are so cute, with little striped awnings, and they’re such a fun, eclectic bunch of stores, like a crepe place and a toy store […]
Read More5C Dance Shows
Hi everyone! I’m CJ, a junior here at Scripps studying neuroscience and dance. One of my favorite things about being a student here is the 5C dance department. Scripps and Pomona each have their own departments, but many of our shows and classes feature students from all 5Cs. In fact, this past weekend, we had […]
