Pitt Business Black Alumni Network
The Pitt Business Black Alumni Network unites graduates of the University of Pittsburgh School of Business Undergraduate Program and the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business to build a strong, supportive, and visible community.
This newly re-launched network brings together alumni from across programs and generations to support one another, uplift current students, and advance the mission of Pitt Business.
Our goals are centered around three key pillars:
- Commit Your Time
We invite alumni to stay engaged through campus visits, classroom speaking opportunities, and Pitt Business events. Your presence can make a lasting impact on students and the school community. - Commit Your Money
If you are able, please consider supporting Pitt Business. As we approach Pitt Day of Giving which will be held on February 24, 2026, we will share ways in which you can directly support our Pitt Business students. Every gift, big or small, helps unlock opportunity. - Commit Your Network
Our careers have been shaped by the people who opened doors for us. We ask you to do the same by connecting students to internships, jobs, or mentors within your professional circles.
Together, we are creating a powerful platform for connection, mentorship, and collective progress. Join us as we grow this community and make a lasting impact at Pitt Business.

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.
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.
