"Everything we do at the office gets called “work.” And that’s a problem. Really, there are two kinds of work:

“Deep work” is using your skills to create something of value. It takes thought, energy, time and concentration.

“Shallow work” is all the little administrative and logistical stuff: email, meetings, calls, expense reports, etc.

Shallow work stops you from getting fired — but deep work is what gets you promoted."

Arin Brahma had lots of good reasons for coming to CGU for a PhD in information systems and technology with a specialization in data science and analytics: “One [reason] is I found subject matter that I’m passionate about here. I searched a lot of universities, but I am passionate about learning more about data science and analytics—and I found out Claremont offered that. That itself was great news for me. Then I found it was a very flexible program because I am also a professor myself teaching at another university, so I have to do both: I have to do full-time teaching as well as pursue my PhD. So, the flexibility of the program, the quality of the faculty, the research that goes on here, and this beautiful campus—it’s local for me, I live in Irvine—I think those are the winning factors.”

You know the name—Drucker—but do you know the person? This is Peter Drucker, an educator, prolific author, and management consultant who was described as the “father of modern management.” In 1971, he helped develop the country’s first executive MBA programs for working professionals at CGU. The Drucker School bears his name proudly and adheres to his philosophy of management as a liberal art, upholding his imperative that business organizations are accountable to society and should operate responsibly and ethically.

To celebrate our 90th anniversary year, our will focus on the people who contributed to our university’s history.

This is James Blaisdell. Blaisdell, who originally came to Pomona College as a professor of biblical literature in 1910, was CGU’s founding president. He envisioned a network of small, independent colleges—which became know as the Claremont Colleges—that included a graduate university. Blaisdell served as CGU’s president until 1936. His vision of a “graduate school of the highest distinction” continues to shape CGU into the institution it is today.
