Pitzer ProfilesAlex Friedlander Moore '10| Florence, MA
Alex knew that she wanted to attend the College after an overnight visit to campus. She was drawn to Pitzer’s size and openness as well as the opportunity to create her own major. “I am interested in self-exploration and the community aspect of the College, which is why I volunteer with the Jumpstart program,” she says.
The founders of the Midnight Circus, Jeff Jenkins and Julie Greenberg, describe Alex as “Second to none—a natural performer willing to take the physical and emotional risks of a seasoned pro. Backstage, Alex is equally as valuable. She acts as a leader amongst her peers and serves as a mentor to younger troupe members. Alex is a humble and kind team player whose generosity and commitment is an anchor and inspiration.” Alex is one of several Trustee-Community Scholars for the 2006-07 academic year. —Susan Andrews

“I started gymnastics at three and moved on to dance and acrobatics by ten. When I was twelve I made it into the circus,” Alex Friedlander Moore modestly explains. Since she was twelve, she has spent her summers traveling and performing throughout New England with Circus Smirkus, the international youth circus.
“I requested a deferral from Pitzer from the Fall of 2005 to the Fall of 2006, so I could participate in an adult circus, The Midnight Circus, which is theatrical-based. A highlight of my experience was the Halloween show at the Daley Plaza in Chicago,” Alex continues.© 2008 Pitzer College • 1050 N.
