The Pittsburgh Network
While the colors of this city are black and yellow, crimson and gold are a close second. The Steel City has over 900 community members that want to connect whether you are new to the city or have called metro area of Pittsburgh home for a number of years. DU Night with the Pirates, DU hockey watch parties, service projects, and other networking opportunities are available throughout the year. The Pittsburgh Network is eager to connect with you and is open to alumni, parents, current students, and friends of DU. Connect with your Network Leaders below or reach out to your staff liaison to learn how to get more connected. We can’t wait to hear from you!
