LeaderShape Catalyst

You're invited to participate in a one-day leadership development experience taking place on campus on Saturday, February 4! LeaderShape Catalyst, formerly the Panther Leadership Summit, will be held in-person from 9:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. in the Lower Lounge of the WPU.

Catalyst is a nationally-recognized program focused on learning to develop your own authentic path, connect to groups and causes you care about, and commit to a plan to be a catalyst for yourself and the groups you’re part of. In small-group dialogue, large group interaction, and personal reflection, you’ll learn alongside others who also want to start something extraordinary.

All majors and years are welcome, no prior experience is necessary. A continental breakfast and buffet lunch will be provided for participants. There is no cost to attend, but participants must pre-register to reserve their spot.

Please complete this form to reserve your spot!

Avoid Being Scammed This Tax Season

The Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management and the Pitt Police are reminding students, faculty, and staff that some may receive a telephone call from someone pretending to be an employee of a government agency, such as the IRS, or a local police department, and request personal information or money in various forms.

A scammer’s goal is to get to your money, and a legitimate government agency, such as the IRS, will never ask for your social security number, request payments such as wire or gift cards, or overpay you with a check.

International students may receive a call from someone pretending to be from a government agency and claiming that there is a problem with their immigration documents or visa renewal. These scammers will also threaten to arrest you, or, if you are a student, have you kicked out of school.

If you believe a call is suspicious, hang up and report it to Pitt Police at 412-624-2121. If you are concerned about your visa or immigration status, please call the U.S. Citizenship Immigration Service’s National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.
