STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
I think it’s important to remain engaged with the business school for many reasons. Pitt Business has helped me become who I am today and I believe in giving back to those that have assisted you on your journey.
The faculty and staff were exceptional at Katz throughout the entire time I was in the program. Everyone was always willing and able to help the students in any way possible (in and outside of the classroom).
