EDII applicants, your decisions are coming out next Monday, February 13th! Thank you for taking the time and energy to apply to Pitzer this cycle. This was a very competitive applicant pool, and we anticipate those of you that will be joining us will impact our community well. Tag us in your acceptance photos when decisions come out!

Eloisa is one of many familiar faces you will meet on campus. She has been a staple on Pitzer's campus since 1982, greeting students with her vibrant smile and infectious laugh in our dining hall, McConnell. Eloisa says, "I pour my whole heart out for the kids," evident in the integral, everyday role she plays on campus. Eloisa embodies the core value of Social Responsibility every day, and we have to thank the hands that feed us. Eloisa, we appreciate everything you do for our community!

As we prepare for students' return to campus in the next week, here's a throwback of our last celebration together as an office. Our junior admissions staff gathered to celebrate the holiday season! Watch their smiles as they play White Elephant and have an evening full of joy and community before the holiday break and reading season began! Our counselors will soon emerge from their respective caves woolly and well-caffeinated to assess the incoming class of 2027! Did you apply to Pitzer this cycle?

Don't forget: we can't wait to read your applications! Our applications close at midnight tonight, so if you have any questions or problems submitting your app you can always email us at [email protected]. Happy applying!

As our office returns from the holiday break, we'd like to remind everyone of our upcoming Regular Decision Deadline on January 6th. We hope the New Year has given you rest so far! If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below or email us at [email protected]. We're looking forward to reading your applications! What Core Value did you write about when you applied?

Cecil did his fair share of travel this fall! He was the good luck charm for the Red Sox at Fenway Park when they hit a Grand Slam, joined Natalia in Boulder at the NCAR Mesa Laboratory, and took a dip in Alaska's Eagle River. He's finally settled down on campus to finish reviewing our Early Decision I applications. If you applied for our ED 1 Round, we're releasing decisions on December 16th! look out for an official email with details from our office.

Congratulations to the Pitzer Class of 2021! And a special shoutout to Yusef Pierce '21, whose story was highlighted on NPR this week. Check out the piece below, and watch Yusef's speech at Pitzer's virtual graduation ceremony earlier this month.
