Pitt-Greensburg's Office of Residence Life has announced the October Residents of the Month.
The Community Assistants (CAs) from each residential area select the Residents of the Month. When selecting the Residents of the Month, CAs are asked to consider the department's three main learning goals: community, engagement, and respect.
The program showcases residents who have been a positive influence in the community, have become engaged on campus, and show respect to their fellow residents and the residence halls. The CAs are asked to select residents who demonstrated a commitment to these goals.
Congratulations to the October Residents of the Month:
