In the most recent Pitt Chronicle, the second annual Student Leadership Summit of the University of Pittsburgh Hesselbein Global Academy for Student Leadership and Civic Engagement was featured.
We also wanted to share a few photos from the event, which convened fifty college students from the United States and 14 other nations.
