What do you like most about your job? | |
What do you like to do when you are not working? | |
What is a quick tip that you want the campus to know? | |
"It's exciting to come to work as no 2 days are ever alike. There is always something new to learn or discover. Another thing I love the most about my job is the people I work with. They are extremely supportive and a hard working group of individuals who have given me guidance, support, advice, and so much help, which has enabled me to do my job well." | |
"When not working I love to cook, experiment with new dishes, and share them with family and friends." | |
"Be patient and be kind. Any act, gesture, or word of kindness, no matter how small, can be a huge impact for someone. It may just be something as simple as listening to a stressed caller and letting the person just share their experience. It is a blessing to be able to have an opportunity to help someone and also be able to have new experiences and make precious memories and connections." | |

Sitting atop, a tree-shrouded hill on the northern end of campus is W.K. Kellogg’s West Coast retreat, or as we know it, the Kellogg House. Designed by architect Myron Hunt, who was a renowned architect known for their work on the Pasadena Rose Bowl and the Huntington Library. The lush and colorful landscape surrounding the Kellogg House was designed by Charles Gibbs who is a distinguished landscape architect.
At approximately 8,700 square feet, the house has many rooms that make the space feel almost small and has sweeping views of the Pomona Valley. The architectural décor is typical for a ranch house; however within the house you can find fine details, such as Kellogg’s initials worked into the pattern of the ceiling beams above the dining room. Kellogg’s favorite musical instrument, the pipe organ, was even built into the basement so Kellogg could play pipe organ music for his guests.
The Kellogg House welcomed many celebrity guests including Ronald Regan, Walt Disney, Will Rogers and more. Today, the Kellogg House is mainly used for weddings, receptions, concerts, and other special occasions.
