Pitzer’s Presidents: 1963-2016

In 2016, in anticipation of the arrival of Pitzer’s sixth president, Melvin L. Oliver, the Pitzer College Archives took a look back at the men and women who were selected to stand at the helm of the College: a poet, an outspoken progressive, a pragmatist, a structural activist, and an ambitious transformer.
