In the Information Age just as in the Industrial Age the Pittsburgh region's growth has been fueled by immigrants who brought their talent, skill, energy, and diverse cultures to our doorsteps. You can see this heritage in Pittsburgh's many neighborhoods, places of worship, and national festivals.
Visitors to the University of Pittsburgh's Nationality Rooms also get a glimpse of this wondrous variety in the way each community has portrayed its character.
