Board of Trustees

portrait of trustee donald p. gould

I am both honored and excited to lead Pitzer’s Board of Trustees in this next chapter of the College’s growth. Our trustees are a remarkably talented and dedicated group, generous with their time, expertise, and resources on behalf of Pitzer. I believe Pitzer is on a great trajectory for the future. The board looks forward to supporting President Strom C. Thacker, the leadership team, the faculty, and the entire Pitzer community in making that bright future a reality.
