On Wednesday, April 25, at a Year of PittGlobal showcase event, a six-foot-tall, double-sided poster display bisected the first-floor hallway of Wesley W. Posvar Hall from the entrance on Bigelow Boulevard nearly to the escalators to the second floor. More than 40 posters were displayed – about two-thirds of all the funded proposals.
Featured on the posters were events ranging from music and dance performances and movie screenings to conferences for international students and projects that supported health care providers in Nigeria. Coordinators of many of these events were on hand to describe their projects to PittGlobal showcase attendees.
“The Year of PittGlobal has been phenomenal, and to see it all come together like this is really impactful,” said Belkys Torres, executive director of global engagement at the University Center for International Studies (UCIS) and co-chair of the Year of Pitt Global steering committee.
