Alumni Celebrate
Pitt-Greensburg's 45th Anniversary |
||||||||||
|
On Saturday, January 17, 2009, Pitt-Greensburg
hosted the La Cultura Winter Gala in Millstein Library. The event was a
wonderful opportunity to bring alumni and other members of the community back
to campus. The Pitt-Greensburg Alumni Association hosted a table at the
event and invited the 2009 Alumnus of Distinction, Justin Merriman, and his
family. Overall the event raised more than $10,000 for the Pitt-Greensburg
Scholarship Fund. To see additional photos of the event, visit www.upg.pitt.edu.

Alumni Will Play Big
Role in 2009 Graduation |
||||||||||
|
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 24th from 5:15-6:00
p.m. in the Alumni Pavilion (outside of Millstein Library). Parent Appreciation Dinner—following the
reception is a special Family 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
Mom and Dad. 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. 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 25th at 11:00 a.m. As a
Pitt-Greensburg alum, you are encouraged to walk into 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 you
accomplishments as Pitt-Greensburg graduate. Advance reservations
are required in order to make the appropriate arrangements (we will provide
breakfast, caps & gowns, etc). Legacy Presentations –Do you have a
relative who is graduating from Pitt-Greensburg in April? As an alum,
you can actually be the one to present the graduate with a diploma at
graduation. The PGAA Legacy Presentation Program was created to give
alumni the opportunity to escort a graduate onto the stage, present the
graduate with a diploma, and take a picture together during the
ceremony. It is a wonderful way to mark the occasion. If you have a
relative (spouse, child, sibling, etc.) 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. |
