On Tuesday, April 28, Pomona College will host the first of four California gubernatorial debates in Bridges Auditorium. 5C students, faculty and administration eagerly anticipate the event, and student political organizations will put on related events such as watch parties and post-debate panels.

Only Pomona students were allowed to enter the selective ticket application to attend the debate in person, but student groups such as the Claremont College’s League of Women Voters (LWV) and 5C Democrats will host watch parties for others to engage in dialogue surrounding the debate.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) upgraded Pomona and Pitzer Colleges’ rankings from ‘F’ to ‘C’ grades in their 2026 Campus Antisemitism Report Card released last month, while Scripps College received an ‘F’ grade again and Claremont McKenna and Harvey Mudd Colleges remained unranked.

ADL reached out to both Pomona and Pitzer prior to releasing this year’s rankings and Pomona “shared some general information about Jewish life on campus,” a Pomona College spokesperson wrote in an email to TSL.

While the spokesperson said the college is “encouraged” by the updated ranking, the numerical value is not their only measure of progress.

A construction project to extend the Metro A Line to a new Claremont station will begin in 2027, made possible by a $798 million grant from the Los Angeles Metro to Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority in late 2024. Once completed in 2031, Metro riders will be able to travel from Claremont to Long Beach without getting off the train.
Some students expressed support for the project, emphasizing the importance of being able to explore the greater LA area beyond Claremont.
