Sweatpants, Hair-Tied: Have the Claremont College Students Given Up?
The fall semester is almost at a close—a statement especially unbelievable to me as a senior because it means I only have one more semester left at the place I’ve come to call home. With it being the end of the semester and the beginning of Southern California’s ‘winter’ season,
Sporty Chic: Vanessa Feder Talks Style in Claremont

Look Good, Feel Good: Spotlight on Individual Fashion
Whether on the way to class or off to a night out, Claremont students are consistently dressed to impress. Many view fashion as a means of self-expression, and Joseph Reynolds PO ’15, a dance major from Brooklyn, N.Y., is no exception. He is a prominent figure on Pomona’s campus: You
