This year marks 45 years for the Pitt-Greensburg campus, so it is the perfect opportunity to feature our alumni at this year’s graduation. Here are some of the ways that you can be a part of the graduation festivities:
Friday, April 24, 2008
Graduation Reception—the PGAA hosts a special reception for all of the graduates to welcome them into the ranks of the alumni association. ALL alumni are invited to attend this event. The reception will be held on Friday, April 24, from 5:15-6:00 p.m. in the Alumni Pavilion (outside of Millstein Library).
Parent Appreciation Dinner—following the reception is a special Parent Appreciation Dinner for all of the graduates and their parents. This serves a dual purpose. For students, it’s an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments and show their appreciation to their parents. For alumni, the dinner is a way to personally connect with the newest members of the PGAA. Meeting the graduates face-to-face and sharing your personal experiences with them, helps show them first hand how important it is to stay connected to their alma mater. If you are interested in serving as guest host for this event, please contact Nancy Murphy at 724-836-7496 or upgalum@pitt.edu to sign up. (Dinners are complimentary for Alumni hosts.)
Saturday, April 25, 2008
Alumni Leaders Meeting—the PGAA Board of Directors will hold an Annual Alumni Leaders Meeting on Saturday, April 25 @ 8:00 a.m. This particular board meeting is open to all alumni. It is an annual review of what the association has done and its plans for the coming year. Special guests include the Alumni of Distinction and other PGAA award recipients.
Graduation Breakfast—Alumni who are participating in the graduation festivities are invited to a special graduation breakfast before the ceremony. The breakfast will be held on Saturday, April 25, at 9:30 a.m. in Wagner Dining Hall.
Commencement Ceremony—all alumni are invited to participate in the commencement ceremony. The ceremony will take place on Sat., April 25, at 11:00 a.m. As a Pitt-Greensburg alum, you are encouraged to walk in the ceremony with your fellow alumni and sit in the designated alumni section. This is just one more way that you can show your support and take pride in your accomplishments as Pitt-Greensburg graduate. Advance reservations are required in order to make the appropriate arrangements (we will provide breakfast, caps & gown, etc).
Legacy Presentations –Do you have a son/daughter who is graduating from Pitt-Greensburg in April? As an alum, you can actually be the one to present the diploma at graduation. The PGAA Legacy Presentation Program was created to give alumni the opportunity to escort a graduate onto the stage, present the diploma, and take a picture together during the ceremony. It is a wonderful way to mark the occasion. If you have a child graduating and you would like to participate in the Legacy Presentation Program, please contact the Office of Alumni Affairs as soon as possible at 724-836-7496 or upgalum@pitt.edu.

We know money is tight.

Most of us search the Internet on a daily basis, and more and more of us are also making purchases online. Now, thanks to a company called GoodSearch, the PGAA can earn money every time you search the Internet! And, if you use the www.GoodShop.com site to purchase items from popular stores like Target, Macy's, Best Buy, etc., a percentage of those sales will be donated to the PGAA. It’s that easy!
