Pomona College – Campaigns AND media on a roll

I just wanted to give a shout out to the Challenge team at Pomona College. They just earned their fourth media hit in their campus newspaper, The Student Life.

If the revolution begins with an educated populate, Pomona will be ground zero, because I am sure that every student on campus is now aware of this great movement. Keep up the good work.
