Mark your calendars!

Every February, the University of Pittsburgh will hold its annual Day of Giving. This special day, through the power of social media, allows members of the community - University alumni, friends, faculty, staff and students - to give to the schools, departments, projects or initiatives that are most meaningful to them. 

Thank you for joining us in making a gift to the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. Together, we have the power to transform the lives of our students through scholarship donations, to impact patient care through research funding, and to advance the mission and values of our school through general support. 

To learn how Pitt's Day of Giving works, please visit the University's website and follow us on SHRS Social Media.
