  • June is Pride Month

    Join University of Pittsburgh and the surrounding communities for some exciting and wonderful events during June’s Pride Month.  

  • Juneteenth

    Juneteenth is a federal holiday which originated in Texas in the 1860s, one of the last states to outlaw slavery. It is a day to pay honor and respect to the enslaved African American people in the United States. It is a day to reflect on the inequalities that African Americans have faced throughout history and the continuous ongoing struggles of the present day.

  • Thank you for your service

    The month of May was designated by Congress in 1999 to recognize the members of the military for their contributions in keeping our country safe.  Let's take a moment to pause and thank them for their service. 

  • May is Mental Health Month

    Mental illness has no limits. It can affect anyone regardless of race, gender, age, ethnicity, religion/spirituality, sexual orientation or other aspects of cultural identity. During the month of May, mental health is brought to the forefront as we reflect on the importance of mental health and the vital role mental health plays in our overall health and well-being.
