The year 2020 will be remembered for many things, including the departure of hundreds of faculty and staff from Pitt through retirement. We included lists of retirees (find faculty here and staff here and here and here) in several University Times issues last year after the retirement packages offered by Pitt became final. The lists are by no means comprehensive; some people chose not to have their names included. Below find the final additions to the list of Pitt’s 2020 retirees.
