Swanson School of Engineering - Global Experiences and Engagement
The Swanson School of Engineering (SSOE) Global Experiences and Engagement team is here to help with general questions as well as more in-depth advising about the global experiences process. We are located in 152 Benedum Hall and we have both in-person and virtual advising! If you're not sure how to get started, have general questions, or you want a broad view of all of your options, we are happy to help! Questions? Send us an email at International@engr.pitt.edu
Summer 2023 Walk-in/Drop-In Advising:
Come to the "big orange desk" in Benedum Hall lobby (152 Benedum) to check in and speak to a team member during our walk-in hours:
Mondays: By appointment only
Tuesdays: 2pm-5pm
Wednesdays: 2pm-5pm
Thursdays: 2pm-5pm
Fridays: By appointment only
What to expect:
You’ll be able to connect with our SSOE Global Peer Advisors (in person) in our office. We hope that you'll leave the meeting with a clearer idea of which experiences to consider based on your academic and professional goals, how to use our website, and who to get in contact with next.
Tabling near Einstein's or on the main floor near the "big orange desk":
Tabling at Einstein's is during the fall and spring semesters only. Stop by drop-in hours in the 152 Benedum suite or make an appointment with your program manager.
