June 2009 - Now It's Your Turn

Support the Annual Fund today!

Students at the new Sanborn Hall, dedicated in 2007 as part of the Residence Life Project.

Now more than ever the world needs what Pitzer offers. When you make a gift to the 2008-2009 Annual Fund, every dollar goes to support the transformational education students receive at Pitzer College. The College needs your contribution, regardless of the amount, before June 30 to further enrich the student experience and meet our Annual Fund goals.

The 2008-2009 fiscal year has been challenging for all of us. Thanks to Annual Fund support, Pitzer is able to provide scholarships to roughly half of its student body, and our student indebtedness continues to decrease, resulting in nearly 25% less average cumulative debt than just four years ago. Pitzer College was named one of the nation’s best colleges and number one in the category of Race/Class Interaction in the 2009 edition of The Princeton Review’s The Best 368 Colleges. Dr. Agnes Moreland Jackson, Professor Emerita of English and Black Studies says, “the culture at Pitzer is one that tries to elevate us to a higher level of humanity.”

In order for Pitzer College to continue as a leader in higher education and as an example to the world, we need your donation. More than 90% of the College’s very own faculty and staff contribute to the Annual Fund. This ranks Pitzer as number one in the country for faculty and staff participation! Join us in our efforts to ensure Pitzer’s continued success. The power to positively impact student life at Pitzer is in your hands.

Show your support before June 30 and count yourself among our family of donors for the 2008-2009 year!
