Project Bumps, Getting back On Our Feet
Today, we had a meeting with Erin who is the Ireland Site Director for AllPeopleBeHappy, and it went mediocre with what our team had to propose.

Client meetings, professionals in the field, and Picklesburgh
Bringing my first week to a close, our groups had the chance to network with some of the most important people guiding our project.

Receiving a Hello from Ireland
It’s the last day of a standard work week, but that doesn’t mean the work has slowed down one bit, at least not yet. Today, the entire group– all ten of us– met with Erin McLaughlin, our liaison in Ireland. She’s part of AllPeopleBeHappy, the Pittsburgh-based nonprofit organization that the University of Pittsburgh is working…
New Horizons and Opportunities at Pitt
Today felt like the first real look into what my next four years at Pitt could look like. Hearing from Assistant Dean David Hornyak showed me how much the Honors College focuses on connection, mentorship, and opening doors for students who want to push themselves. As someone who came to Pitt without knowing a single…
