is here, that wonderful time of year when Panthers pilgrimage back to campus.

The University’s on-campus residence halls and apartment-style options house more than 8,000 students, so hundreds of student volunteers were on-site to ensure the transition to campus was seamless for first-time and returning students.

Incoming first-years got to know the University at events and activations throughout Welcome Week, including a Pitt tent with LED games and activities, tabling by local organizations like Visit Pittsburgh and Heinz History Center, a night at the Carnegie Museums, a wellness panel featuring Pitt families and more. .

On Wednesday, new students gathered at Petersen Events Center for New Student Convocation, followed by the class picture and a pep rally. .

The week’s festivities concluded Sunday with the Involvement Fair andÌýLantern Night.
