EDUCATIONAL PRIORITY
As a result of participating in the living-learning community, Pitzer students will be personally and socially responsible, engaged in their communities and mindful of the future.
GOALS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Wellness
By participating in the living-learning experience, Pitzer students will develop practices that enable them to thrive through life’s challenges. While these efforts begin with the individual, their practice, as well as the opportunity for success, is a collective responsibility of the whole community.

- Students will reflect upon their actions and impacts on the wellness of the community.
- Students will be able to advocate for a culture of care.
