Global Hub

In Pitt's Global Hub, students can access information and resources to internationalize both their academic and extracurricular activities. Drop by to participate in a conversation table, learn more about international credentials or explore the Engagement Wall. The Global Hub is a bustling, vibrant center with additional quiet and interactive study spaces for students to utilize.

The Global Hub is open to all students who would like to internationalize their education. We can help guide you in the right direction to find more information about:

Area and global studies certificates centered on international and/or global topics and the Global Distinction
Funding and scholarship opportunities
Study abroad opportunities
Service-learning opportunities
Clubs and student groups

Want to share materials in the Global Hub?

We are glad to spread the word about international and global engagement opportunities. Please note, however, that the Global Hub aims to be sustainable in its efforts to do so. Therefore, if you would like us to put a flyer on one of the tables in the Global Hub, please first email globalhub@pitt.edu to request permission. We have a limited number of clear, plastic, 8x11 stands and will be glad to accommodate requests based on availability and if in alignment with the Global Hub's mission. Any materials that are placed in the Global Hub without permission will be discarded.
