Admitted Student Program 2021

Welcome

Congratulations again on your acceptance to Pitzer’s Class of 2025! We miss our students and are disappointed that we’re not able to offer an on-campus Admitted Student Day for you and your families. This year, instead of being on Zoom for 6 hours straight, we’re spreading our Admitted Student Program throughout the month of April. Each mini-program will be themed to our Core Values. All events are optional, feel free to attend the sessions that you’re interested in learning more about!

Should you run into any difficulties and need assistance, we have a Live Zoom Help Room on our website during the program. You can also contact our office at 909-621-8129, Monday-Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM PST.

Zoom virtual backgrounds are available to download here. In order for the text orientation to show up properly, you will have to click the option for “Mirror my video”. When the text orientation looks flipped for you, it will show up correctly for everyone else.

Please use the Zoom Links below to join the different sessions. All times shown below are in Pacific Daylight Time.
