Pitt’s Posvar Hall may be shuttered, but its 全球 Hub is still buzzing with activity, 虽然本质上九游会论坛是虚拟的. There are the regular ongoing offerings, like the United Nations noon 简报, and virtual tours of sites ranging from world-class 博物馆 to Croatia’s 国家公园. 还有一些特别的活动——现场采访、讲座、网络研讨会、小组讨论和观看派对。 The 内容 is developed by all of the units under the 大学国际九游会论坛研究中心 (UCIS), but it is promoted by the Hub, the central place at Pitt to find ways to stay globally engaged. 所有活动都九游会论坛是免费向公众开放的。

Hub Manager Karen Lue says she is especially proud to promote the virtual 国际茶时间工作坊, at which students from around the globe have a space to air concerns, ask questions or just feel included.

卢说：“这对每个人来说都九游会论坛是艰难的时刻，尤其九游会论坛是对那些实际上‘被困’在一个不九游会论坛是他们家乡文化的地方的国际学生来说。” “有一个空间，他们可以与经历类似挑战的学生交谈，在专业顾问的带领下进行讨论，这让他们觉得自己九游会论坛是社区的一部分。”

The Hub is also a resource for those students completing UCIS certificates or the 全球卓越证书. And the Hub’s Instagram account features clips from its Experience Wall, as well as testimonials from UCIS students.

其主要目标九游会论坛是：全球参与。 “Now more than ever, it is clearly evident that we live in an interconnected world that requires our ability to understand and empathize with one another,” said Belkys托雷斯, executive director of global engagement. “That is only possible through increased knowledge of other cultures, peoples and experiences.”
