We empower at SCI
SCI prepares students to be future leaders in technology and information by equipping them with superior technical skills, entrepreneurial drive, and commitment for social good. A SCI education involves interdisciplinary hands-on collaboration with schools and programs, like Pitt Medical School, Law School and other unique opportunities that just aren’t available at schools without a focus like ours.
When you give to SCI, you are helping students thrive here on campus—and beyond.
