The Fifth Floor runs news on our current department community in every Spring/Summer issue. The deadline for submissions this year is May 20, 2024. Program directors are encouraged to send news on faculty and grad student accomplishments as well. You can submit all year round, and we will save it for the next column. News about conferences, publications, and awards are welcome, as well as news about Pitt presence at the major conferences. For photos, please send directly by e-mail to engalums@pitt.edu. Thanks!
