Pitt-Johnstown Goes to Pittsburgh!
Many thanks to the Pitt-Johnstown alumni and friends who joined us for the first-ever alumni reception in Pittsburgh! The 17th floor of the Omni William Penn Hotel was literally beaming with Mountain Cat Pride as guests networked and learned about the many exciting things that are happening at their alumni mater. For many, it was a first opportunity to meet Pitt-Johnstown's 5th President, Dr. Jem Spectar. If you missed the event, we hope to catch you the next time we come to the Steel City!
