Lina Dostilio, associate vice chancellor for community engagement in the Office of Community and Governmental Relations also leads sessions that give Pitt faculty and staff the opportunity to tour the CEC, meet staff and learn more about opportunities to get involved. Faculty and staff interested in learning more about how to become involved in community engagement can participate in one of three taking place this fall:

• 9:30-10:30 a.m. Oct. 17

• 1-2 p.m. Nov. 13

• 11 a.m.-noon, Dec. 10

Participation at each session is limited to 30 people; register online. 

“These information sessions are an opportunity to explore what the CEC is and how it can support your work,” Dostilio told @Pitt.
