Pomona College Visit: 10.26.17 during CCr

Mr. Adam Sapp (Pomona College admissions director) will be visiting Moloka'i for the first time ever this Thursday. He is visiting 15 high schools this week on O'ahu, Maui, and Moloka'i. Here's a quick bio on Adam:

https://www.pomona.edu/news/2015/06/10-adam-sapp-named-pomona-college-director-admissions

Adam wanted to visit MHS after admitting Sebastian Kahale Naehu-Ramos, who is the first MHS student to attend Pomona in 26 years (I attended from 1987-1991). Kahale also received an amazing scholarship/financial package from Pomona College that was twice the amount per year as his other admissions (Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, USF, etc.). Kahale is loving SoCal and also started swimming at the NCAA Division III level. http://www.sagehens.com/sports/mswimdive/2016-17/roster (new roster not yet out).

Here's more information on need blind admissions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need-blind_admission

Adam hopes to visit MHS every other year (2017, 2019, 2021, etc.). He will be hosting two events on Thursday:

1. Catered lunch for teachers in Lisa Takata's classroom at 1220pm - what is "need blind," how to write a winning letter of recommendation for your student, what elite schools are looking for? 

2. Student session in cafe at ~115pm-200pm (kids who need to leave early can leave at 2pm). He will probably need to move out of the cafe at 2pm--maybe he can answer questions on the table outside of the MHS library? I highly recommend freshmen and sophomores to attend. Please tell your students to go to Adam's session in the cafe during CCR.

Adam really has a special place in his heart for RURAL students (see bottom paragraphs of this 2017 New York Times article). He is looking for rural kids for his college: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/31/education/edlife/colleges-discover-rural-student.html

If you have any questions, please email me. Mahalo!
