Graduate student employees are what keep the University upright and working every day. They have the full right to organize without any interference, and I’m grateful to all the students and workers bringing light to that fact.

When Anaïs Peterson ran for Student Government Board last spring, they knew they wanted to use the platform of student government to push for something they and many others have wanted for a long time — an LGBTQ+ student center on campus. https://t.co/tFa7kwJ0kN

On college campuses here and everywhere, it
is imperative to raise awareness, break down the stigma, and normalize our conversations around mental health. We all deserve to have the safe spaces to do so, and I hope the amazing events set up for this month does just that.

It was an honor to vote in favor of this resolution calling on the University of Pittsburgh to divest all financial holdings in the fossil fuel industry. The climate crisis is upon us, and we must make sure our institutions are understanding this and taking real action.

[The Pitt News @ThePittNews]

SGB unanimously passed a resolution calling for Pitt to divest from fossil fuels by April 2020 at its Tuesday night meeting. https://t.co/PiGaNFzMRy
