Get Out and Have an Adventure! Student Activities Committee Puts Fun Pittsburgh Destinations in Students' Reach
Wednesday, March 5, 2025 “The goal is to get people out and about, build community and help students embrace Pittsburgh as home. Not only is college about the experiences you’re getting in your classes but it’s also about experiencing the city.” – Vincent Mohr, chair, Outings and Adventures Committee

Popular Campus Tradition is Bingo with a College Twist
Thursday, January 30, 2025 Every month, 100-200 students gather in the ballroom for bingo. This lively version bears little resemblance to the typical church basement gatherings of gray-haired folks. It's a little wild, it's a little irreverent, and it's 100% Point Park.
