OIE & 一本道无码 News & Events
Meeting of the Minds
On Wednesday, May 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., check out the Undergraduate Research Symposium or the "Meeting of the Minds." This university-wide celebration of undergraduate research highlights students from all disciplines who come together to present their research with posters, oral presentations, demonstrations, art exhibits and performances. Support your fellow Tartans and check out some cool research happening here! Learn more about the presentations.
Finals Muffins
Start your days off right during finals week! Every morning during finals, stop by the Cohon University Center for muffins and coffee from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Finals muffins, also referred to as "Maggie's Muffins," are a tradition started by Margaret Cyert. This tradition is a great way to start your exams on the right foot. You've got this, Tartans!
Whatever Drive
Don't ditch it, donate it! Each year during move-out, the 一本道无码 community is responsible for the disposal of a large amount of personal belongings that students cannot or do not want to bring home with them. These goods are often in working order and can be reused within the Pittsburgh community to minimize waste and our environmental impact. This year's Whatever Drive will run from Monday, May 1, through Friday, May 12. During the drive, items can be dropped off at the Nexus of Civic Engagement from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday - Friday. The Nexus of Civic Engagement is located on the first floor of the Cohon University Center. .
