Recent discussions at the sustainability subcommittee meetings, which are open to the University community, have considered ideas such as a “green fund” for sustainable campus practices underwritten by a student activity fee; a “green gifts” campaign to reach environmentally engaged alumni; a “green dorm” living and learning center, and an interactive sustainability web site to stimulate awareness and exchange on sustainability issues.

Miracle, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 Higher education is often credited with being an effective means for an individual to invest in and acquire skills and knowledge—often referred to as human capital. Participating in higher education may also provide an individual with the opportunity to build valuable relationships with individuals that result in access to resources such as information, the mutual exchange of favors, emotional support and career networking—often referred to as social capital. While it is understood that higher education is an effective way for an individual to invest in and accumulate human capital, it is not as clearly understood how higher education can be an effective way for an individual to invest in and accumulate other forms of capital, such as social capital.

  • Spring 2014 Nationality Rooms Newsletter
    Nationality Rooms Newsletter Nationality Rooms and Intercultural Exchange Programs at the University of Pittsburgh http://www.nationalityrooms.pitt.edu/news-events Volume Spring 2014 THE LITHUANIAN NATIONALITY ROOM Dedicated October 4, 1940 THE LITHUANIAN NATIONALITY ROOM E. Maxine Bruhns A fresco depicting Ciurlionis’ famous paint- ing The Two Kings portrays the reverence Lithuanians have for their villages. This mu- ral sets the tone for a room that pays tribute to the symbolism and love of nature and home reflected in Lithuanian folk art. The door bears a carved rosette, symbol of fire. Above, a stylized sun between two horses’ heads represents light and sound be- lieved to ward off evil spirits. The white oak molding of intersecting scallops resembles decorations found on farm granaries, or klei- tis. Names of famous Lithuanians are carved Two Kings on the frieze above the blackboard. The wall linen is woven in a design called “The Path of the Birds,” framed by white oak and rare bog oak. Black or bog oak acquires its deep hue while submerged in a marshy bog for decades. Farmers thus preserve prime trees to make furniture pieces that are treasured as heirlooms. The professor’s chair is of bog oak. The desk is modeled after a household table, and the lectern incorporates details of a spinning wheel spindle. Stu- dent chairs are carved with a design found on household utensils. On the ra- diator enclosure, perforated with a design of wild rue leaves, stands a sculp- ture of the “School of Sorrows” depicting a mother teaching her son the for- bidden Lithuanian language.

    HeinzHeinz ChapelChapel ChoirChoir AlumniAlumni NewsletterNewsletter Greetings from the University of Pittsburgh! Summer 2016 Early last fall, the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge spent time in Pittsburgh during their US tour. The Choir’s director is Stephen Layton, who is also the conductor of professional choir Polyphony, music director of the Holst Singers, and artistic director/principal conductor of the City of London Sinfonia. In 2011, Gramophone Magazine ranked both Polyphony and the Trinity College Choir among the top 5 choirs in the world; I have been an admirer of Mr. Layton’s work with these and other Tour 2017 choral ensembles for many years. I was thrilled to join other conductors and master singers from the area in a choral workshop with Mr. Layton to experience his remarkable musicianship and rehearsal technique firsthand. In the days that followed, some members of HCC joined me in attending Evensong and a non-liturgical concert sung by the Trinity College Choir, both of which were exceptional and inspiring. Tuesday, May 02 – When I met Mr. Layton at a reception following the choral workshop, he graciously agreed to my proposal of a similar clinic for the Heinz Chapel Sunday, May 14 Choir if we should venture to the UK during our 2017 international tour. performances: It has been a great pleasure to devise this tour with the Baldwin family of Charter Travel, who have constructed customized tours of the British clinic/workshop with Stephen Layton Isles for American choirs for 30 years. The students and I are excited for Southwark Cathedral (London) the musical experiences of our 2016-17 academic year, which will Kingsdown Methodist Church (Ealing) culminate in a “farewell tour performance” on May 01 and our departure Bethesda Methodist Church the following day.
