Overview

This website is generously funded by the Heinz Endowments, a major philanthropic organization in Pittsburgh. Initially conceived by the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh to serve as a portal to this major international center, the site has also emerged as an important model of regional collaboration.

The site builds on the work of the Pittsburgh Council for International Visitors, which took the lead in launching an early version of this site, focusing on the region's large international student population and linking them to the many community organizations that make Pittsburgh feel more like home.

Since then, the site has become part of a broader framework of initiatives sponsored by the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance and the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh designed to highlight the Pittsburgh region's many international connections. These initiatives include the GlobalPittsburghNEWS electronic newsletter and a periodic GlobalPittsburgh Network event that brings people from different communities together.

Enjoy the journey!  We look forward to meeting you!

The design and management of this site is the responsibility of the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh.  For comments or questions, please contact:
