Pitt's Support of Military-Connected Students Through the Years (Continued)
Did you know that our offices are housed in a building named for a veteran? Brig. General Wesley W. Posvar was the 15th chancellor to the university from 1967-1991, and was incredibly devoted to ensuring Pitt's continued success and commitment to honoring those who served seeking a quality education.

Campus Resources
Off-Campus Student Services
Committed to ensuring that students are knowledgeable renters. The OCI mission is to provide students with the information and tools needed to successfully reside in off-campus accommodations. Services can help you find housing and roommates, resources to safely live off-campus, and the support you’ll need to be a responsible neighbor – from renter’s guides to apartment listings to useful tips.
Pitt Pantry
Dedicated to ensuring that all members of the Pitt community have regular access to a balanced and nutritious diet, the Pantry hosts regular shopping hours for Pitt community members to obtain food and services.
It is located in the O’Hara Student Center kitchen (4024 O’Hara Street), where all members of the Pitt community can visit to select items of need.
Thriftsburgh
Created in the spring of 2014, Thriftsburgh is Pitt’s student-run on-campus thrift store serving students, staff, faculty, and the Pittsburgh community by re-purposing and selling second-hand clothing, shoes, and accessories. Buying secondhand clothing reduces textile waste, cuts carbon, and promotes a culture of reuse. All items sold in the store are $12 or less.
Thriftsburgh has regular store hours in the O’Hara Student Center and holds various events throughout the year. The Annual Reuse Rummage Sale is hosted each August to provide clothing, dorm, kitchen, and bathroom essentials to students returning to campus.
