  • Flu and Cold Prevention on Campus

    Flu and Cold Prevention on Campus

    FLU AND COLD PREVENTION ON CAMPUS Shirley Haberman & Megan Kavanaugh, Student Health Service According to a recent campus survey, about 25% of University of Pittsburgh students reported that a flu or cold had negatively affected their academic performance. Flu season is upon us and with the current nation- wide shortage of flu vaccine projected to last throughout the season, please remind your son or daughter to adhere to the following flu and cold prevention guidelines for a healthy and productive winter season. Colds and flu come from viruses. When an infected person sneezes, droplets with the virus spread through the air and land on surfaces. If you breathe in the droplets or touch a surface and then your eyes or nose, you can become infected with the virus. During the winter when people spend more time indoors, viruses are transmitted from person to person more easily. This is especially true for students who live in close quarters such as residence halls. Most of the preventive actions to combat a cold or flu are simple no-brainers: cover- ing your nose and mouth with a tissue whenever you cough or sneeze, washing your hands often, and not touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. If you do not have access to soap and water for hand washing, alcohol- based hand wipes and gel sanitizers can kill germs. These simple, preventive steps are especially important this year where most students have not had the flu vaccine. P More tips at http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04335/418951.stm.

    Residential Handbook 2015–16 WELCOME

    Residential Handbook 2015–16 WELCOME Welcome to University of Pittsburgh on-campus housing! Whether you are living in a residence hall, apartment-style accommodation, or fraternity complex, you are one of over 7,900 undergraduate students residing on campus, and your comfort and satisfaction are very important to us. It is our priority to ensure that your time in on-campus housing is one of many positive and rewarding experiences here at Pitt. The purpose of this Handbook is not only to provide you with a comprehensive reference for living on campus, but also to advise you of the policies for residing in University housing. This Handbook is not, and does not, create a contract. Upon electronically signing your Housing and Dining Services Contract (Contract), you agreed to, among other things, abide by the policies, rules, and regulations set forth in this Handbook and any other official University publications, including, but not limited to, the Student Code of Conduct and Judicial Procedures. Communal campus living can be a great college experience, but with your decision to do so comes a responsibility to abide by the rules necessary for the safety and enjoyment of all. With your cooperation, this goal will be met. This Handbook is divided into two sections. The first section (Everyday Living) addresses matters specifically related to your occupancy of University housing. The second section (Resources and Services) provides other useful information pertaining to the University. Each section has been organized alphabetically for easy reference. If you have any questions or need any additional assistance, please feel free to contact Panther Central at 412-648-1100, [email protected], or www.pc.pitt.edu.

    Collegiate-Partners-Directory-2019.Pdf

    What are Collegiate Partners? Collegiate Partners® are colleges, universities and other accredited postsecondary institutions that demonstrate their commitment to the development of private sector student aid by supporting the mission of Scholarship America® and its Dollars for Scholars® program. Collegiate Partners institutions make the following commitments relating to undergraduate students: Dollars for Scholars scholarships and other Scholarship America-related scholarships will be used to fill any unmet student need remaining after the institution’s financial aid package has been calculated. When unmet need no longer exists, Dollars for Scholars scholarships and other Scholarship America-related scholarships will be used to adjust the self-help portion of students’ financial aid package, with student loans reduced before work-study. When unmet need and self-help have been eliminated and an overaward remains, the treatment of Dollars for Scholars and Scholarship America-related scholarships may be applied to the student’s financial aid budget at the Institution’s discretion. We encourage each Institution to consider alternatives to displacing institutional need-based grant aid in the event of an overaward, such as supporting the purchase of a computer or reducing health care/dependent care expenses and other viable options, including deferring the award to a later year. Collegiate Partners also provide additional support in many ways. For example, Collegiate Partners may: - provide speakers for Dollars for Scholars affiliate workshops, - host Dollars for Scholars events on their campuses, - support efforts and provide leadership to organize local Dollars for Scholars affiliates. Refer to the listing on Page 105 to view the schools providing this additional support.

  • The Ruth Crawford Mitchell Czech/Slovak Fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh

    The Ruth Crawford Mitchell Czech/Slovak Fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh

    The Ruth Crawford Mitchell Czech/Slovak Fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH: The Czechoslovak Connection Pittsburgh entered Czechoslovak history in May 1918 when President Tomas G. Masaryk came to the city and convened Czechs and Slovaks to sign the Pittsburgh Agreement. This act led to the proclamation of Czechoslovak national independence on October 28, 1918. The University of Pittsburgh’s connection with Czechoslovakia began in 1927, when the city’s Czechs and Slovaks formed a committee to create a Czechoslovak Nationality Classroom in its 42-story Cathedral of Learning in its planning stages. This room was their gift to the University. Alice G. Masaryk, the president’s daughter, was a member of the Czechoslovak Room Committee in Prague. Alice’s friendship with Ruth Crawford Mitchell had begun in 1919, when Mrs. Mitchell was in Prague as head of a YWCA team to conduct a social survey for the Red Cross. Together, under the patronage of President Masaryk, they created Czechoslovakia’s first school of social work. On March 7, 1939, Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk was the speaker at the dedication of the Czechoslovak Nationality Room. His words on that occasion foreshadowed the tragic events which would soon sweep over Czechoslovakia. Part of the legacy left by Ruth Crawford Mitchell is an annual scholarship which enables a Czech or Slovak scholar (not a student) to conduct research at the University of Pittsburgh. Applications are encouraged from those who wish to examine current problems in commerce, education, science, public administration, political science, economics, and sociology. Applicants from the academic, government, and business sectors are eligible.
