WITH
PITT, PA WINS
A
MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR!
Right now, Pitt students, faculty,
staff and communities are being caught in the middle of a political
fight that’s taking away from higher education in our state. Learn
how you can help.
University of Pittsburgh Chancellor
Patrick Gallagher went in
front of lawmakers on Wednesday, March 2, 2016 to emphasize the
critical importance of a multiyear funding strategy for
state-related universities. Such a framework is vital for
long-term stability, planning, tuition control, and financial
aid. The chancellor also discussed Pitt’s precarious position in the
wake of receiving no state funding eight months into the current budget
cycle.
Please,
view the full message
from Chancellor Gallagher and learn more on the long term budget
resolutions.
Parents, your support is needed!
Get Involved by joining us in the
WITH PITT, PA WINS
campaign! Please consider joining the University and the
Pitt-Greensburg campus community and attend
Pitt Day in Harrisburg
on March 22, 2016 to show your support of the University of
Pittsburgh and your student.
If you cannot attend
Pitt Day in Harrisburg,
consider taking the time to contact your local Legislators. Pitt has
made
Talking Points
available to strengthen your message. Visit
WITH PITT, PA WINS
and learn more about ways you can make a difference. There you will
easily be able to forward your story to your local legislators with a
copy going to Governor Tom Wolfe, as well. You will also find sample
letters, and other resources that you can use to help Pitt make its case
for state funding.
Thank you for taking the time to
advocate for the University of Pittsburgh! Together let us show
Harrisburg that WITH PITT, PA WINS!
