Dear Pitt community,
We’re delighted to share this report, which represents tremendous effort and outcomes from across this community. This report summarizes what we’ve done together to develop and deliver upon the University’s strategic plan, the Plan for Pitt 2028. The plan is rooted in a core set of values that emerged from a robust and consultative shared governance process and brings those values into measurable impact.
That impact is broken down within the five pillars in the plan. For example, the first pillar, which focuses on cultivating student success, highlights what we’ve done in the past year to support students, from our new Finish Line Grants to our new WISHES Survey, among other initiatives.
You’ll find many more concrete examples of Pitt’s values in action in these pages, and we also hope that you see yourself and your contributions to Pitt’s progress reflected. Broad and passionate participation in shared governance is a distinguishing strength of this institution, and it’s one of the qualities that makes so many things uniquely possible at Pitt.
I appreciate everyone in the Pitt community who has played a role in our past year, and I look forward to even greater accomplishments and service in the year ahead.
Hail to Possible and Hail to Pitt!
Chancellor Joan Gabel
