If you’re a parent/family of an admitted student, we recommend that you have a separate laptop/tablet/phone ready for the the Pitzer Student Panel for Families at 10:20-11:20 AM. All other sessions can be viewed together!

We also recommend that you take a look at our Campus Resource Fair ahead of time to decide which sessions and Zoom links you would like to join. Our Campus Tours will be offered at 1:45, 2:40, and 3:20 PM at the same time as the fair.

Should you run into any difficulties and need assistance, we will have a Live Chat on our website (https://www.pitzer.edu/admission/) from 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM during the program. You can also contact our office at 909-621-8129.
