A competition designed to advance the Plan for Pitt has reached a new stage, further narrowing down a list of projects that could be funded by the University.

Chancellor Patrick Gallagher said Thursday that he expects the [email protected] model to continue into the spring semester due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. He also said it’s likely that next semester’s schedule will be compressed similar to the fall so there aren’t vacations where people leave and come back to campus.

Pitt students may be planning for their midterm exams, spring break, even graduation for some. Meanwhile, the University has larger plans underway.

Pitt administration entered the new year with a resolution in mind — gathering input from as many people across campus as possible.
