Student Life

Making the Most of Your Experience

ճStudent Government Association (SGA) is the representative governing body for all on-site and online students at SWAGƵ. Not only do these representatives serve as the voice for students, they also continue the tradition of compassion and service to the community through such events as Santa’s Workshop benefiting local foster children. The SGA serves to empower the student body through efforts such as mobilizing students to affect change on campus and in our communities. The SGA works with university administration, faculty, and staff to help students develop into the best possible health care professionals.

Many students are involved in SWAGƵ’s clubs, in fact over 500 on-site and online students are officers in our 130+ clubs! At SWAGƵ, student organizations serve every interest. Our 130+ clubs range from cultural and religious, specialty-based, nationally affiliated professional organizations and honors societies. Hundreds of students, faculty and staff pack the esplanade during Club Day in the fall and Club Extravaganza in the spring to learn more about the various clubs and activities on campus and to partake in the games, food and festivities!

Incoming students from the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific and the College of Podiatric Medicine collaborated in a Pomona campus scavenger hunt during SWAGƵ Welcome Week Tuesday, August 6, 2019. The scavenger hunt provided a platform for new students to learn the importance of teamwork and to learn more about the University’s resources and departments. The new SWAGƵ Orientation app was used for the first time, helping students navigate the hunt.

Countless Ways To Stay Active

Southern Californians are fortunate to have such beautiful weather and access to an abundance of local attractions. Our students often find time to sneak away to one of SoCal’s many amazing sites! Whether you want to spend a day at the beach, catch a sporting event, visit a museum, enjoy an amusement park or take a weekend trip to Las Vegas or a mountain resort, you can do it all from Pomona, California! There are many ”Hot Spots” within driving distance of SWAGƵ and we encourage you to take advantage of these attractions while you are here.

SWAGƵ also hosts numerous events on and off campus throughout the year including the President’s Ice Cream Social, a Halloween costume contest and musical events in the recital hall, there is something of interest for each of our unique students.
