Pitzer ProfilesRebecca Acosta '10| Moorpark, CA
In high school, Becky distinguished herself academically through rigorous course selection and a tireless work ethic whether it was in Latin or AP courses in English and physics. She was actively involved in the multicultural club and served as a student alumni liaison. Becky also reached out to her community by volunteering for Project One Voice and Children’s Hospital. One of Becky proudest accomplishments is playing on her high school’s volleyball team and serving as co-captain during her senior year. Her high school coaches recognized her as a solid team leader and praised her ability to rally team support and morale. She now shares these exceptional qualities with her teammates on the Pitzer-Pomona volleyball team. Becky looks forward to doing archery and possibly joining the 5C scuba diving club. She notes that she chose Pitzer because of its emphasis on diversity. “I think the College will widen my cultural and intellectual horizons and will add meaning and depth to my educational experience. Pitzer really cares about the individual and individual expression,” she says. —Emily Cavalcanti

Rebecca Acosta prides herself on always choosing what Robert Frost coined the road less traveled. A first-generation American, Becky’s parents emigrated to the U.S., her mother from Mexico and her father from Cuba. “My parents made the best of their situation and have already gotten me very far in life and so I am definitely not going to take that for granted,” she says. “I keep pushing to do the most I can for them and the community.”© 2008 Pitzer College • 1050 N.
