>> So I came to Pomona.
I was a philosophy, politics, and economics major.
I came here primarily because it afforded me the opportunity to go to a great school as well
as pursue my dream of playing college basketball.
So I knew I wasn't very good.
I kind of gave up on my pro dreams of playing basketball probably in eighth grade,
when I started playing against some really good kids that were more athletic and stronger
than I was, but I knew I wanted to play.
I knew I wanted that experience in college and Pomona really did fulfill that for me.
As a philosophy, politics, economics major, you know, I joke,
I think I was one of those freshman that knew what I wanted to study but not really.
I just picked a major that happened to be three different things.
So I got to take a wide variety of classes and found some professors within each
of those disciplines that I took multiple classes with and really enjoyed,
and so it was right in line with kind of what I think Pomona College is all
about in terms of a liberal arts education.
I think in the real world outside of maybe a few disciplines, like medicine and law,
no one really cares, like you're going to figure it out and we just want
to know you're smart enough to take direction and learn whatever craft we're going to instill
in you on day one when you come to work for us.
