Pitt's Public Impact

The University of Pittsburgh contributes to the well-being of Pennsylvania and communities beyond. Public Impact is how we invest in people, places, and partnerships — revitalizing neighborhoods, helping local businesses grow, training skilled workers, and providing research that shapes policy. Every effort is guided by one question: How can Pitt’s academic mission make life better for others?
