One of the best things you can do in the summer before your first year is attend Panther Connect. Panther Connect is your chance to meet fellow classmates, hear from Pitt staff and student leaders about the many opportunities and resources that are available for you, and learn more about what it's like to be a student at Pitt.
Welcome Week will take place from August 22-29. During Welcome Week, new students will come together to officially begin their first semester at Pitt! This week is filled with important information as well as engaging social events, and is intended to give you the best possible start.
More details about Welcome Week have been sent to your pitt.edu email address.
Our First Year Mentors love Pitt and are happy to help you start your life here. They will be available to answer questions as you navigate the orientation process, and they'll help you get acquainted during Panther Connect and Welcome Week.
