Alumni

Dear alumni, parents, friends and fellow Dietrich College community members, Each year, I read through these stories and am moved by the amazing work being done right here at Dietrich College. It is important to recognize that much of this work would not be possible without the support of our Dietrich alumni, parents, friends and community members. In that spirit, I am pleased to share a few of the many ways that your support has made an impact on the college this past year. • You enabled us to grow the Pittsburgh Summer Internship Program , increasing total support by 22%. We saw a record number of applications in 2021 and were able to help meet that demand by providing 58 of our students with crucial experiential learning opportunities. • We saw an increase of donors (44%) and dollars raised (16%) to Dietrich’s general support funds. The Parents Fund, H&SS Fund and the Dean’s Innovation Fund help to strengthen the fabric of the college, allowing us to create new opportunities and address areas of immediate need. • On Giving CMU Day, you showed your commitment to the college and the programs that meant the most to you, increasing the number of donors to Dietrich College funds by 71%. I am continually inspired to see your commitment to the college and to helping us grow the programs that are shaping our students and the communities we live in. On behalf of the college’s students, faculty and staff, thank you for all that you help to make possible.

Sincerely, Liz Cooper Associate Dean for Advancement and External Relations
