Alumni Survey Results

Dear alumni,

Thanks to everyone who completed the Alumni Attitudes Survey in March. The Pitt Alumni Association (PAA) improved in key areas since our last survey in 2020, and we’re already addressing areas of opportunity.

The 2023 survey results show blue and gold pride is strong! Pitt alumni feel a deep connection to their alma mater, value the power of their degrees and their alumni experience and love to promote Pitt to others. This all adds up to a solid foundation for further alumni engagement. More survey results will be posted to alumni.pitt.edu.
