Living and Learning Communities
Academic Village
The Academic Village at Pitt-Greensburg consist of four, unique and distinct communities that integrate our students’ curricular and co-curricular experiences. The Academic Village is a joint venture of the faculty and Office of Student Services.
Students live in these apartment-style residence halls with other students who share the same broad disciplinary interests. The selection process for residential spots in the Academic Village is highly competitive from year to year, and students must reapply for admission to a particular Village each year. The faculty director of the Academic Village hand-picks members based on various criteria, including grade point average (or SAT score for entering freshmen) and a written essay, among other things.
Although the Academic Village program is primarily a residential program, non-resident students and non-Academic Village members are encouraged to attend Village-sponsored events on campus and become active members.
If you are interested in learning more about the Academic Village program, contact Sheila Confer at 724-836-9905 or via email at sec10@pitt.edu.
First Year Experience (FYE)
College Hall is home to the First-Year Experience (FYE) Residential Learning Community, a program designed to help incoming, first-year students adjust to the college experience and develop tools for academic success and new friendships.
Students in the FYE program are enrolled in the same Freshman Seminar course in the fall and Career Exploration and Planning course in the spring. Students reside together on the second floor of College Hall.
Students interested in applying for the FYE community may contact Ms. Leigh Hoffman at 724-836-9954 or via email at leigh7@pitt.edu.
Outdoor Adventure & Community Service (OACS)
Westmoreland Hall is home to the Outdoor Adventure & Community Service (OACS) residential living community. Students living in the OACS community will have an opportunity to be part of a close-knit group of students who have a passion for the outdoors, as well as volunteering in the community.
Students interested in becoming a residential member of OACS should contact Brian Root at 724-836-7470 or bkr5@pitt.edu . For additional information, check out the OACS Website.
OACS application
Community Assistants
Community Assistants (CAs) are upper-class students at Pitt-Greensburg who receive extensive training and are responsible for developing an inclusive and positive community in the residence halls. CAs organize community programs for their residents, assist with roommate relationships, maintain community standards by enforcing policy, and ensure that the community is safe.
Near the end of each semester, the Office of Housing & Residence Life will recruit new CAs. The selection process involves an application, group interview process, and an individual interview. If you’re interested in becoming an CA, talk to your (or any) Community Assistant for information.
Resident Student Council
All students living in Pitt-Greensburg's residence halls are general members of Resident Student Council (RSC). RSC is an important student organization on campus, serving as a liaison between residents, the Office of Housing & Residence Life, Student Government, the Village Councils, and the administration at UPG.
Each year, hall representatives are elected to represent the various residence hall locations on campus. For more information on how to get involved, visit the RSC webpage or contact via email at upgrsc@pitt.edu.
