MEDIA INQUIRES: Faculty members are frequently asked by journalists to discuss their work or comment as experts on various subjects. While there is no requirement for faculty to seek approval or provide notice of such requirements, the University Communications team is available to provide guidance and support as needed, and can be contacted at media@pitt.edu. If you are contacted by a reporter seeking the view of the University, as opposed to your personal view, that call must be referred to University Communications.

COVID-19 UPDATES: Visit the Public Safety and Emergency Management Office for real-time updates and Precautions taken by the University. A detailed guide on pandemic preparedness for researchers is available through the office of Environmental Health and Safety.
