Amidst any weekend events you may have participated in, university history was made on Friday. For one, our current president, Chris Brussalis, was officially inaugurated and had a ceremony to go with it. A ceremony for a university president has not happened here before, nor has Brussalis been inaugurated until now.
For some students here, college is not just about academics but about continuing their passion. Thanks to a cross registration program, students from here are able to participate in the University of Pittsburgh's marching band. This allows the students to continue their love for music, even if Point Park may be unable to provide that opportunity.
