Josh Puerzer grew up hearing about Pitt from his parents. Now, as a @PittEngineering student, he’s leading clean water efforts abroad and shaping a future of his own. It’s all possible thanks to alumni who believed in him. Read his story 👉 pi.tt/Puerzer25
On behalf of the Swanson School, we are incredibly grateful for Bob's many years of commitment, generosity, and vocation to Pitt.
