We are responsible for creating a welcoming and engaging community for new students at Pitt. Engage in experiences designed to help you acclimate to campus and connect with your peers.

We are excited to welcome you to campus and equip you with the information, resources, and support you will need to be successful.

The Online Orientation is the initial learning space for new students at Pitt and is required.

The Provost Academy is an exclusive opportunity for students to get a head start on the learning environment at Pitt.

Panther Connect provides the opportunity for you to meet other first-year students and learn about campus resources that will make your first semester at Pitt smooth and successful!

New Student Ambassadors (NSAs) are essential in welcoming, guiding, and supporting their new peers and families as they acclimate to life at the University of Pittsburgh.

This year's welcome week ran from Monday August 21, 2023 to Sunday August 27, 2023.
