Pitzer Pen-Pals
Our Junior Admission Staff are here to talk about all aspects of Pitzer College. Whether you're curious about our academic programs, student life, campus culture, or anything else Pitzer-related, our team of current students is here to help! They offer first-hand insights and experiences. Reach out to them by email with any questions, and they’ll be happy to share what life at Pitzer could be like for you.
Admission Fellows
Admission Fellows are current Pitzer seniors who conduct the majority of our Admission Interviews for prospective applicants as well as our daily Information Sessions. Experts on all things Pitzer, our Fellows are an excellent resource to learn more about our campus programs, student life, and the application process.

Access Interns
Our Access Interns assist in planning and executing our two Preview Pitzer Fly-In Programs, one in the fall (for prospective students) and one in the spring (for admitted students). They also act as liaisons between our Admission Office and on-campus affinity groups. Our Access Interns are dedicated to serving underrepresented populations and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education.
