Student Life » Newsletter » Dean of Students Newsletter | May 4, 2021
Congratulations on wrapping up your academic work for the semester and we wish you the best in the coming week as you prepare for finals. The OSA team is here to support you through these coming transitions. Whether you are graduating, starting an internship, working, continuing with us for summer session, or taking a much-needed break we wish you the best.
This summer we will continue to prepare for our much-anticipated return to campus. Please continue to check your Pitzer email, our websites, and social media for continued updates throughout the summer. It is our hope these updates will continue to provide students an idea of the robust, yet safe, student experience we plan to deliver this fall when we reunite on campus. Please prioritize time this summer for restoration, self-care and joy.
Sincerely,
Sandy Vasquez
Interim Vice President for Student Affairs
Please join President Melvin L. Oliver to Celebrate the Pitzer College Class of 2021 | Saturday, May 15, 2021, 10 a.m. (PT) | Family, friends, and the Pitzer community are invited to join in this virtual event as we celebrate our graduates’ achievements. A link to the event will be available on the Pitzer home page at www.pitzer.edu and at www.pitzer.edu/commencement on May 15.
At this time, we wanted to provide a friendly reminder that the Pitzer campus is still closed. When this changes, we will be sure to let students know.
We anticipate receiving more fall semester guidance from LA County in June and will likely have more updates for our community in June in terms of fall campus life then.
Pomona is still offering Pitzer students access to some of their outdoor athletic facilities. That information can be found here.
LA County Department of Public Health has indicated a rise in COVID-19 cases among college students in the LA area recently. We encourage you all to continue to practice extra vigilance during this time when communities are still in the midst of gaining access to the vaccine. Thank you for being Mindful of Each Other!
Full information on move-in dates and fall housing planning can be found here.
