The Schenley Bridge Last Lecture Series invites Pitt professors and important local figures to speak on a topic they are passionate about and share the wisdom and knowledge of a lifetime in one hour as their "last lecture." This lecture will feature Grant Oliphant, president of the Heinz Endowments.

Sponsored by the Center for Mindfulness and Consciousness Studies at the University of Pittsburgh, the Mindfulness Fair will showcase mindfulness resources and activities available to both the campus community and the Pittsburgh region, and will feature information tables, collective practices, talks, discussion groups and activities for children.

The University Press and the new Center for African American Poetry and Poetics are pleased to sponsor this interactive workshop, featuring poets who engage with America’s deepest and most vexing social and moral problem: race.

Free and open to everyone, this event invited the public to discover contemporary poetics in practice.
