From PVT to PV2 to Shipping to Basic Training!!🇺🇸

Today, we had the honor of promoting PV2 Errickson from Private (E-1) to Private Second Class (E-2) before she departed for her next chapter in the U.S. Army.

A recent graduate of Pocono Mountain East High School, PV2 Errickson is headed to Fort Jackson, South Carolina for Basic Combat Training before continuing to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri for Advanced Individual Training as a 74D, Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Specialist in the U.S. Army Reserve.

When she returns home, she’ll begin pursuing her education at the University of Pittsburgh, where she plans to join Army ROTC and continue working toward her goal of becoming a U.S. Army Officer. We even made the trip across Pennsylvania together to tour Pitt—our first time in Pittsburgh—and I think we both walked away impressed. The campus is absolutely incredible. With over a century of history, its Gothic architecture honestly looks like something straight out of Hogwarts.

Now for the inside joke… somewhere between taking her to her Army Reserve unit in New Jersey and stopping at Chick-fil-A, someone was convinced she was my daughter. We never let that one go. 😂

PV2 Errickson, it has been a privilege watching your journey from Future Soldier to American Soldier. Your work ethic, determination, and willingness to chase your goals have been evident from day one. I have no doubt you’re going to accomplish incredible things both in and out of the Army.

Congratulations on your promotion, safe travels to training, and we’ll be waiting to hear all about your adventures when you get back.

Good luck, PV2 Errickson. Stay motivated, stay resilient, and represent the Pocono Mountains with pride. You’ve got this! 🇺🇸💪

It’s electric! Last week, we were joined by @centerthatcares for Camp ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering) led by Dr. Bayoumy and Dr. Dickerson from Pitt Swanson’s School of Engineering! Campers learned how to program microcontrollers to control their handmade electronic cars. Great work, everyone!

Did you know that concrete can float? It can!

Our @pittasce team competed in the Civil Engineering Student Championships in Fairmont, WV last week against schools from all over the world. Students from @pittengineering, primed with their oars, raced the Andy Warhull through the slalom course and the 200-meter sprint on Tygart Lake. The competition provides students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on practical experience while testing their skills with concrete mix designs and project management challenges.

From research labs to industry boardrooms, @pittofficial connections span every field. 🧪🤝

Pitt alumni from across disciplines recently gathered in Houston for an evening of networking, research, and connection hosted by the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences (@pittdietrich) and the Swanson School of Engineering (@pittengineering).

Guests heard from:
• Haitao Liu, Professor and Department Chair, @pittchemistry
• Bill Harbert, Professor, Geology and Environmental Science
• Bob Enick, Professor, Chemical and Petroleum Engineering and Vice Chair of Research

Through short presentations and a lively panel discussion moderated by Liz Ward, manager of constituent relations for the Swanson School, attendees explored how cutting-edge research in chemistry, geology and environmental science, and chemical and petroleum engineering connects to challenges and opportunities across the chemical engineering industry.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at The Grove and helped make this collaborative @pitt_alumni gathering a success. 💙💛 Three people sit in chairs next to a person standing and holding a piece of paper.
