Lectures & Events

Dietrich College Connect and Engage

Monday, March 30, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., Remote

Even Virtually, We Can Continue to Build Community and Foster Inclusivity

College is, by design, a closely connected and social environment that thrives on interactions and group gatherings. This physical reality changed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic to protect the health and well-being of our community. Our hearts go out to all those impacted on campus, in the Pittsburgh region, nationally and globally. In other words, this is hard. We're all different, so how this affects each of us varies. 

Let's navigate these challenges together. We must support each other and emerge stronger than before. Join Ayana Ledford, Dietrich College’s director of diversity, equity and inclusion, for a virtual open house from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. every Monday this semester on Zoom. We will continue discussions on fostering inclusion, building connections and creating an accessible community.
