Investing Now, is a college preparatory program created to stimulate, support, and recognize the high academic performance of pre-college students from groups that are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics majors and careers. The purpose of the program is to ensure that participants are well prepared for matriculation at the University of PittsburghDeveloped underrepresented students’ interest in STEM fields through weekly design challenges in robotics using Lego Mindstorm

The Resident Student Association is established to represent resident students in University matters which concern their welfare; to promote academic, cultural, intellectual, social, and leadership development among resident students; and to stimulate an interest in and responsibility for self-governance.Constructed, planned, and advised 3 campus wide events under a $2,000 allocated budget for residence halls and the University of PittsburghPromoted community service events and campus improvements in a leadership role
