According to Molly Swagler, the executive director of enrollment outreach at the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, the incoming class has one of the most diverse backgrounds in Pitt’s history.
According to Vice Chancellor and Chief Information Officer Mark Henderson, installation of new classroom technology to assist the Flex@Pitt model began Monday. He said faculty will be able to sign up for times to demo the new technology next week.
The news comes as some students, faculty and staff have urged the University to join the growing number of colleges that are moving to online-only classes in the fall, to avoid the risks of bringing students back to campus.
The University has partnered with UPS to create Ship2Pitt, a direct-to-dorm shipping service which provides students living on campus with five pre-paid shipping labels.
Through Flex@Pitt, students will be able to attend classes at least once a week in person, remotely through livestreams or watching recordings after the fact.
