A new position in the Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences is aimed at expanding experiential learning for students, and the person in the role, Abdesalam Soudi, is busy talking to faculty and others about their experiences and ideas in this area.
Soudi, a teaching associate professor in the Department of Linguistics, was named Dean's Fellow for Experiential Learning (ExL) in August 2024.
Pitt Stages is kicking off its spring season with “Morning Reckoning,” a play that harkens back to the 1990s, a golden era of boy bands and teen girl fandom — and formative years for playwright Kelly Trumbull.
Trumbull is a teaching assistant professor in the Department of Theatre Arts within Pitt’s Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences. Though she has directing experience, she’s taken a hands-off approach to her show’s Pitt debut. It’s the first time “Morning Reckoning” has been performed in its entirety.
The Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) is being hosted at Pitt, starting today, January 14, and will continue through to the 17. It will feature the Pitt Stages 2024-2025 production, The Inseparables.
Pitt’s Office of Innovation & Entrepreneurship and Pitt’s Big Idea Center for Student Innovation & Entrepreneurship has several events and courses coming up including the Big Idea Blitz! Students who wish to participate can register for events below.
Today is National Fossil Day and the Dietrich School has some bone-afied fossil history of our own!
Did you know Pitt is home to the Pittsburgh Water Collaboratory? The Collaboratory was started in 2017 by faculty members from the Dietrich School’s Geology and Environmental Science Department. In 2018 they were granted funding by the Heinz Endowment and have been leading research and outreach efforts throughout the region. They are aiming to bridge efforts in water research, government, and taking action with sustainability.
