President's Welcome
Dear Family and
Friends:
This is an exciting time to be part of the Pitt-Greensburg community.
I welcome our students and their families to this vibrant environment
where students are not only learning for today but are expanding their
minds to what may come tomorrow in this dynamic world. Together, we are
investing in the future of each student.
In these newsletters, we will introduce you to the variety of activities
and events occurring on campus throughout the year. We will bring you
updates o the construction of our new Life Sciences building.
Construction is scheduled to begin next spring. Please join us in
encouraging students to take part in these activities, like speed
interviewing and our growing network of internships, in order to be
better prepared for jobs and graduate school. Students can have a richer
college experience when they discover what our campus facilities
provide, too.
Finally, I invite you to visit our campus throughout the coming year and
enjoy--frequently at no cost--the many cultural and educational events
that are open to the public. These are always posted on our web site so
be sure to check in regularly so you do not miss any of the excitement.
Hail to Pitt!

President
