Reunion Celebration 2021
What can you say about Pitzer’s virtual Reunion Celebration 2021? It was #SoPitzer—even if it wasn’t in person. Pitzer’s Office of Alumni & Family Engagement hosted a series of socials, faculty talks, and panel discussions. Community members came together virtually to celebrate Pitzer’s 2021 and 2020 Alumni Award winners and OBSA & CLSA’s 50th anniversaries. Professors zoomed in for seminar-style talks, exploring everything from the study of friendships to the history of the Grove House, and the engagement office held the third part of its True Equity series: Pitzer’s Inaugural Black Alumni Caucus.
Whether you couldn’t make it or just want to re-live it, we hope you click on some highlights from Pitzer’s Reunion Celebration 2021 below and visit our Pitzer College Alumni Awards Ceremony post.
