Summer Welcome Receptions 2025
Summer Welcome Receptions are a series of regional events designed to bring together incoming students, their families, and Pitzer College community members.
Thank you for joining us!
We were so glad to welcome incoming families and students at our Summer Welcome Receptions throughout May and July. These casual gatherings—hosted by Pitzer alumni, families, and staff—offered a chance to connect with fellow incoming families in your area and meet members of the Pitzer community.
Whether you joined us for snacks and conversation, asked questions about the Pitzer experience, or just enjoyed a warm welcome to the Sagehen family, we loved meeting you.
📸 Event photos are coming soon!
