The Global Plan

Pitt continues its rise as a global university. The University's blueprint for global engagement, Embracing the World: A Global Plan for Pitt 2025, is one of the institutional plans augmenting the University's strategic plan, The Plan for Pitt.  It builds upon its ambitious predecessor, Embracing the World: A Global Plan for Pitt 2016-2020.
