The Student Engagement and Activities (SEA) Team is a group of students dedicated to enhancing the student experience at Pitzer through creating, organizing, and implementing inclusive events/programs for the students of Pitzer College. The SEA Team aims to create a sense of belonging and community for all Pitzer Students by planning inclusive, diverse, and engaging events open to the whole student body. All events planned by the SEA team are free of charge, substance-free, and open to all current Pitzer students. The Student Engagement & Activities Team plans events that occur on a weekly basis and are a combination of both on and off campus events.
