Students may have noticed new signs around campus, including one in front of the Cathedral of Learning.

Pitt recently installed signs that mark buildings across campus as part of a yearslong project aimed at improving campus aesthetics and branding. Students’ and community members’ reactions to these signs range from believing they’re helpful to deeming them unnecessary.

Pitt is one of nine U.S. universities the Trump administration said it would investigate for potential visa fraud.

The probe will consider whether the nine universities take advantage of the J-1 visa program, which allows international students to work and study in the U.S., according to Vice President JD Vance. In his announcement at a news conference on Thursday, Vance said the administration believes the institutions improperly use the program to avoid paying relatively higher wages to U.S. citizens.

Pitt spokesperson Jared Stonesifer confirmed the University received a subpoena from the Department of Labor, adding that Pitt participates in the J-1 and other visa programs “in accordance with all applicable federal requirements.”

A widely debated bill that could drastically impact the economic landscape of college athletics is making its way through the federal government.

The Protect College Sports Act, passed by the Senate on Sept. 28 in a 77-22 vote but facing opposition in the House, aims to promote fair competition and protect name, image and likeness rights for college student athletes. It would institute a cap on revenue sharing and establish new requirements for NIL agreements and safeguards for varsity and Olympic sports teams while protecting schools and conferences from lawsuits through a limited antitrust exemption.

After an electric win last night over Virginia Tech in Blacksburg to push Pitt football to a perfect 5-0, the Panthers were dealt a devastating blow that cast a cloud not only over the win, but over the rest of the season.

Sophomore quarterback Mason Heintschel, who took a nasty hit to the knee in Friday night’s game, has now been diagnosed with a torn ACL in the win, according to ESPN Insider Pete Thamel. Heintschel left the game early in the third quarter after sustaining a hit while on the run near the sideline. He immediately grabbed at his knee and had to be helped off the field by trainers. He could not put any weight on his right leg while limping off the field.

Pitt was holding out for better news, but an MRI confirmed today the severity of Heintschel’s injury. He is out for the rest of the season.

In recent years, Pitt has seen a noticeable uptick in first-year enrollment. Offering an attractive school environment in the heart of a city, competitive research and public school tuition advantages are often cited as factors contributing to the climbing first-year class sizes — but what about social media?

As enrollment numbers climbed, so did a subset of the student population, dubbed “Pittfluencers,” who post about the Pitt student experience on social media. What started as filling the gap in representation of the Pitt student experience content on social media has grown into much more.

In the midst of an “epidemic of loneliness,” some Pitt students are struggling to find social connection in college.

Pitt students looking for friends can be seen reaching out through various anonymous social media sites, such as YikYak and Reddit, in search of relationships that are difficult to find elsewhere. But the lack of connection available to many students in college might be a cultural problem, rather than a personal one.
