Additional Information for Recruiters/Employers

Disclaimer: Access to employers, events and activities through Handshake as well as other related platforms does not indicate sponsorship or endorsement by Pomona College. In addition, the clarity of an external employer’s Equal Opportunity policies is the employer’s sole responsibility, and the College assumes no liability. We encourage students to research opportunities thoroughly and use their best judgment before taking part; your involvement and participation is voluntary and at your own risk. 

The Career Offices of The Claremont Colleges are committed to maintaining the privacy of personal information provided by students, alumni, and employers. Employment professionals must maintain the confidentiality of all student information released to them, regardless of the source, including personal documents, written records/reports, and computer databases. This means there should be no disclosure of student information to another organization without prior written consent of the student, unless necessitated by health and/or safety considerations, in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

We require all employers to comply with all applicable state and federal civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination in hiring and in the workplace, which includes discrimination on basis of race, color, sex (gender or gender identity), sexual orientation, age, marital status, religion, disability, national origin, ethnic origin, or prior military service.

Pomona College is committed to a policy of equal employment opportunities for all applicants and employees and complies with all applicable state and federal laws on the matter. The College does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national or ethnic origin, ancestry, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, medical condition, family care leave status, veteran’s status, or any other category described in Pomona College’s Nondiscrimination Policy or protected by law.

The Solomon Amendment, a federal law, mandates that educational institutions receiving federal funding (research grants, etc.) must fulfill military recruitment requests for access to campus and for lists containing student recruiting information. This law allows personally identifiable student information to be released to recruiters that would have been denied them under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA – p1-16). Information available for release under this law is limited to name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, level of education, academic major, and degree received.
