Where does Family Weekend take place? All our Family Weekend events are held on Pitzer’s campus. A list of events will be released once we move closer to the event date. We will also provide a list of activities taking place at one of the other Claremont Colleges (the 5Cs). Complete map of The Claremont Colleges.

I am the parent of a Pitzer sophomore, junior, or senior and have attended Family Weekend before. Is there something new for me? Absolutely! All parents are sure to find unique faculty talks and panel discussions. Plus, Pitzer students change every year they’re here. Family Weekend is a great chance to meet your student’s new favorite professor or find out about programs that have sparked a new interest.
