The Claremont Colleges info session webinar

 

We invite you, your students, and their families to learn more about The Claremont Colleges – Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pitzer, Pomona, and Scripps Colleges – a consortium of five undergraduate institutions located in one square mile in sunny Claremont, California. Our distinct colleges, also known as the “5Cs”, are united by a spirit of collaboration and connectivity that influences academics, athletics, and student life. With shared resources across the consortium, like the Claremont Colleges Library and over 250 clubs and organizations, students at the “5Cs” experience the best of both worlds: the ability to attend a small, tightly focused college while also enjoying the benefits of a larger college or university.

We encourage you to attend our upcoming virtual events to learn more about both our shared and institutionally unique approaches to a liberal arts education. Please forward this along to your students and their families as well. 
Thursday, February 24 at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time
5C Information Session
This session provides an overview of the Claremont Colleges and an introductory understanding of each individual college.

Registration closes 24 hours before the event start time. Event details and Zoom link information will be emailed to you after registration.
