Pomona Student Union Presents… Survivor: Pomona
Come see some of Pomona’s favorite professors argue on behalf of their disciplines to stay on the island of academia! Support your major and your professors by helping to decide the winners. Only three can survive! Featuring Professors: Beck (Sociology) Hazlett (Environmental Analysis) Johnson (Neuroscience) McWilliams (Politics) Radunskaya (Math) Rockwell (Music) Rosenfeld (English) Seligman (Biology) Wolf (History) These professors will be arguing on behalf of their disciplines why they are the most important and why they should stay on the island of academia instead of the other disciplines. Come watch them support their discipline and argue against the others as you help to decide which three disciplines are the most important and most deserving of staying on the island.
