The Campaign Trail:
Successful Launch

Whew! What a weekend!  As many of you know, we just concluded one of the most important weekends in the history of Pitzer College: several hundred alumni returned to campus for reunions and Alumni College; the Board of Trustees met to approve the Campaign goal of $40 million, along with other business; and the public phase of The Campaign for Pitzer College was announced Saturday night at a spectacular celebration involving alumni, trustees, faculty, parents, staff, family members and friends.  It was truly the celebration of a lifetime!

I cannot thank all of you enough for your work, support and collaboration in making this weekend a phenomenal success.  At this point in its history, Pitzer is uniquely positioned to set new standards for liberal arts colleges, charting its own course as it takes its rightful place in the top tier of national liberal arts colleges.  But this can only happen if those who know and care about Pitzer actively support the goals set forth in The Campaign for Pitzer College. 

The events of this weekend helped launch us on a successful course.  I am confident that we will reap the benefits of these friend-raising activities for years to come.
