ChangeMaker Series Application Deadline

Do you want to make a difference in the work you do? What inspires you? What impact do you want to have on the world? The ChangeMaker Series is a free, five-session experience for Pitt students who are curious, creative, and ready to shake things up. Learn how to think like an innovator, work alongside a cross-campus cohort, and learn from real-world change-makers. No startup experience or idea required, just a desire to get involved and take action.
