Commuter Students

Commuters make up approximately 60% of the student population here at Pitt-Greensburg.  Our goal is to enrich your student experience and for all commuter students to become active members of the Pitt-Greensburg campus community.

To this end, students, staff, and faculty collaborate regularly to offer commuter-centric events and provide services that support the commuter experience on campus.
