Pitt Stepped Up... When Pennsylvania Shut Down

The University supported families, businesses and organizations well beyond its campus borders. For instance: Pitt paid local hotels to house students, developed COVID-19 vaccine candidates, opened campus meal cards to local restaurants, ramped up support for businesses across the commonwealth relying on recovery funds, helped administer over 19,000 COVID-19 vaccines, shifted its billing practices to keep at-risk vendors afloat, beamed free broadband internet access to nearly 200 families for remote learning — and more.

Pitt’s business consulting services helped me survive during the pandemic. Without their expertise and real-time advice on available support programs, the future of my company and the paychecks
for its more than 45 employees were at risk. - Jason Capps, President and Chef, Bella Sera Catering, Venue and Bistro, Washington County, PA
