PZ Talks Fall 2025

Thu
PZ Talks is a bi-annual semi-formal event that provides students with an opportunity to tell their story and share their wisdom by delivering their very own "TED Talk."
Students, staff, faculty, and alumni of the entire 7Cs are invited to watch our speakers celebrate the culture of storytelling and community at the Pitzer campus!
Coordinated by Student Success Initiative Fellow Isabella Fuenzalida '27, we are happy to bring PZ Talks back with a spotlight on the stories that don't often get the chance to be shared.
We invite you to join us in Benson Auditorium next Thursday from 4:30pm-6pm to watch two Pitzer students passionately deliver "TED Talks" on their lives, challenges, and wisdom gained through their personal experiences! *Content warning: These stories may include sensitive & personal experiences. *
Storytellers:
Vanessa Bautista '27
Perspectives of a Hidden Victim of Incarceration
Vanessa uses her story to challenge the systems that shape and are shaped by society. Through her courage and reflection, she invites the audience to imagine the possibilities of prison abolition rooted in restorative justice and compassion.

Stunted not Stuck: Who I am When I'm Not Performing
Hannah shares her journey of unlearning perfection and reclaiming her voice after years of living with expectations. Through her learnt experiences, Hannah shares the beauty of hobbies that are healing and allow for freedom from performance.
