Message from President Gregerson regarding optional face coverings on campus
The CDC COVID-19 community status was changed yesterday evening from high to medium for Westmoreland County. This means that indoor masking is once again optional on campus. We will continue to monitor CDC recommendations and adjust accordingly.

Message to Instructors About Changes in Masking Policy
As of March 28, masking is optional on all Pitt campuses. While this represents a return to a semblance of normalcy, we must be thoughtful as we make the transition back to indoor spaces in which many will be unmasked while in close proximity to one another. It is important to recognize that this change will impact members of the Pitt community differently. Read the Teaching Center's suggestions.
