Yes

A brief description of the policies and procedures that ensure community stakeholder engagement is applied systematically and regularly across the institution’s activities:

In the Master Plan revision process and the Design Guidelines adoption process, Pomona College made it a point to hold multiple community stakeholder engagement workshops where the Master Planner and key personnel presented the master plan and design guidelines to the broader public community and different sessions for faculty, staff, and students. The workshops were publicly advertised and held on multiple nights and gave the opportunity for the community to comment and have their comments incorporated in to the planning process. These community workshops also included the Planning, Architecture, Traffic, and Transportation Commissions and a presentation to the City Council. Also, Pomona College funded the City of Claremont to hire consultants to produce the Pomona College Environmental Impact Report (EIR) as part of the master plan and subsequent capital projects.
