As a pro-Palestinian encampment on the Pomona College commencement stage enters its fifth day, commencement activities scheduled for today have been moved to different locations.
On Tuesday, May 7, the college’s website said the Baccalaureate Service of The Claremont Colleges, a consortium that includes Pomona College, was scheduled for 3:30 p.m. today at Bridges Auditorium.
This morning, the website listed a new location for the event — Balch Auditorium at Scripps College, another member of The Claremont Colleges.
The venue change is notable following a weeklong encampment of Pomona College’s commencement site, which expanded Thursday from Marston Quadrangle to the steps of Bridges Auditorium.
Additionally, the Phi Beta Kappa Induction scheduled for 5 p.m. today is moving from its prior location on the Marston Quadrangle to a location to be determined, according to the Pomona College website.
Commencement activities continue Saturday and Sunday. No additional time or location changes were noted on the college’s website as of 10 a.m. today.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
