Graduate and Professional Student Upcoming Events Highlights 

*Please stay tuned for the upcoming full bulletin release!


TEDxUniversityofPittsburgh

Mark your calendars for Sunday, March 26, 2017! GPSG and SGB are proud to present our 3rd annual TEDxUniversityofPittsburgh2017. 

TEDxUniversityofPittsburgh is an independently planned event meant to share innovative ideas around the community of Pittsburgh. These events are a branded extension of TED, a non-profit organization whose main objective is involved with creating a platform for speakers to share knowledge about technology, education and design in their fields.

Ideas will be focused around our theme for this year’s conference: “REACH!”, where we explore how to reach in to achieve our own potential, reach up to raise the bar on innovation, and reach out and connect ideas around the city of Pittsburgh.

Stay tuned for an announcement about our speaker lineup this year!
