Pitzer’s 2026 Student Leadership Awards

Pitzer College’s five core values come alive at the annual Student Leadership Awards (SLA). The students and student groups who best embody these values have received recognition for their passion in action.

This spring, Pitzer’s Student Success Initiatives and SLA Committee rolled out the orange carpet for an awards ceremony at the Gold Student Center. In addition to individual and group awards for each core value, the Heart of Pitzer Award recognized one student who demonstrated leadership in all five core values.
