Students kept busy during summer break with various internships, study abroad through Pitt and vacations with family.

Students choose to stay on campus over the summer for different reasons, but all enjoy the additional free time.

Called “the most anticipated block party of the summer,” Shadyside’s monthly Jam on Walnut outdoor concert series hosts four different bands on four different Saturdays during the summer months. In addition, the event offers food trucks and an opportunity to shop at the local businesses along Walnut Street, and the proceeds go to support local charities such as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Animal Friends, Inc.

Eatery undergoes major renovations but affects students staying over the summer for on campus jobs.
