An introduction to London

Hi! My name is Riley Hensley and I am currently a Junior here at Pitt Business. I am majoring in Business Analytics and Business Information Systems, as well as minoring in Political Science.

From Snow to Sun

Hello from The Land Down Under! My name is Adi Mitchell, and I am a current sophomore at Pitt studying Marketing and Supply Chain Management, and pursuing certificates in Sustainability and Public and Professional Writing.

Firenze’s Final Thoughts

This trip has been nothing short of amazing. From trying new foods to new places to new transportation I have plenty more experiences now than I ever thought possible.

It’s one of the main benefits of living near a train and having robust train lines throughout the country. Being able to…

Assessing My Surroundings

I wanted to go into wealth management because it takes away the cubicle wall from the people you work with, and allows you to talk to your customers. I…
