Student Life
PTC is working diligently to respond to the ongoing developments about the Coronavirus and especially the impact on our students. While our on-campus activities are currently suspended due to Coronavirus precautions, please take a look at all the exciting opportunities that we hope to be part of your collegiate experience.
OUR NEW NORMAL AND YOUR COLLEGIATE LIFE AT PTC.
Like you, we can’t wait to enjoy all of the student and housing activities that we have planned. With rigorous COVID-19 health and safety protocols in place at PTC, we have suspended most of these activities until it’s safe to gather in groups. To give you a taste of what to expect when protocols are lifted, however, here are the activities and opportunities you can participate in as part of student life at PTC.
BUILDING CAMPUS COMMUNITY
Activity programming focuses on learning, involvement, and diversity. Students who participate in events expand their circle
of friends and deepen their understanding of other cultures and heritages.
ASK ABOUT DISCOUNTED TICKETS
PTC’s Student Activities offers discounted tickets to area attractions such as amusement parks, the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium, Pittsburgh Theater, and to touring shows, concerts, and events.
FEEL BETTER
Need to talk to a professional? Counselors are on campus Monday through Friday for guidance, referrals, and crisis intervention.
