The Engagement and Outreach Map displays ways in which Pitt is working as a partner in communities, local to global. It also helps faculty and staff coordinate community engagement and outreach efforts across the University system, as well as track the progress of the University’s overall engagement and outreach effort. This webinar will delve into how the Map was created, improved, consistently updated, and used as a resource by faculty, institutional leadership, and community members.
