In collaboration with the Pennsylvania Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, Pitt hosted its first-ever University for a Day on May 6. The half-day event showcased the University’s support services for disabled students to current Allegheny County high schoolers, including Kylie McGee.

The 16-year-old sophomore attends A.W. Beattie Career Center in the Northgate School District. For McGee, University for a Day was an opportunity to get a firsthand look at Pitt. She’s enrolled in her school’s health and nursing sciences program and views attending Pitt as a way to level up her skills.

“The nursing major is a great option,” she said, adding, “I’ve always wanted a way to help people.”

The program — led by Disability Resouces and Services in the Office for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion — included a campus tour, an information session featuring an alum and an admissions presentation.

University for a Day was developed to dispel potential students’ apprehension about pursuing higher education, said disability specialist .

“Students, particularly with disabilities, may feel overwhelmed about the prospect of attending a large university, so we’re offering resources in advance to say, ‘This is doable, and here are the supports we have in place,’” she said.
