The Year of Pitt Global may be winding down, but its impact on programming on and off the University’s campuses will be around for a long time, including in a new Global Hub space on the first floor of Posvar Hall.
Dozens of people gathered April 24 in Posvar Hall to see poster presentations on Year of Pitt Global projects and to get a sneak peek at the Global Hub, which won’t officially open until August.
“The Year of Pitt Global celebrated Pitt being at home in the world, and it promoted the University as a global convening point,” said Randall Halle, co-chair of the Year of Pitt Global committee and professor of German film and cultural studies.
Pitt Global funding added up to nearly $1 million for projects, events and programs, including $20,000 to support student programming, Provost Ann Cudd said.
