STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

I’ve really enjoyed my study abroad experience in London this past spring! From my amazing internship, to exploring the city to traveling around Europe, I could not have asked for a better experience. Studying abroad helped me step out of my shell and experience things I never thought I’d get to do.

BSBA HR Management '21

As a freshman living in Bruce Hall, I’ve had the opportunity to network with other first year business majors and become immersed in not only the college life, but the professional atmosphere of being a business student at the University of Pittsburgh.
