There are few opportunities to celebrate the entire College community collectively. There are few times when we can all come together and renew the bonds of Pitzer life that connect us to one another and to those who have come before us. February 21 is one such celebration.
February 21, 1963, marks the founding of Pitzer College. We will celebrate the College’s founding and 60th Anniversary.
Be sure to stop at the check-in table in the McConnell Lobby to receive your free vintage 1963 T-shirt.
