CGSSG Event Calendar Fall 2025

Finals Survival Kits

We know that finals are coming up, and we've got your back! Pick up a free finals survival kit (goody bags filled with liquid IV, popcorn, hot chocolate, fidget toy, and more) sometime during finals weeks. All you have to do is stop by the McCarl Center (first floor of Posvar Hall next to the home plate) and tell the staff member at the front desk, Ms. Sandy, that you're a CGS student who's picking up a finals survival kit. Pick up times are from December 8th-12th between 9 AM - 12:15 PM and 1:45 - 4:45 PM. See flyer.

Food Drive

In collaboration with Pitt Eats, SGB, and many other Pitt departments, we're collecting non-perishable food items until December 13. All items will be donated to the Pitt Pantry, and Pitt Eats will match every donation! There are multiple locations for you to drop off donations all across campus, so please consider contributing to this important cause!

Warm Clothing Drive

In collaboration with SGB, we're also having a warm clothing drive! If you have any items such as jackets, gloves, hats, and scarves, please consider donating these to support our Pitt community. Drop off locations for donations include the Academic Advising Center (201 Thackery Hall), the Study Lab, and SGB's office (WPU 8th floor). Download flyer.

Multimedia Contest

CGSSG is excited to launch our annual multimedia contest with cash prizes (up to $500)! We invite all CGS students—traditional and nontraditional alike—to participate by submitting creative projects that explore how their CGS educational experience is helping them achieve their future personal, academic, or career goals. Submissions can include any creative medium (film, photograph, art, creative writing, etc.) and we are accepting submissions now until Sunday, February 15. If this sounds interesting to you, check out more information using this link.

PAID Engagement Opportunity!

Want to share your CGS story? Do you love your major? If you do, we want to hear from you!

Students who participate will get paid $20 to reward them for their time (shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes). If this sounds interesting to you, complete this survey, and students from our CGSSG Engagement Committee will be in touch with you soon! This paid opportunity doesn’t end in December - submit anytime. View flyer.

December Senior Sendoff

For those of you graduating this December, we want to celebrate you! There will be a senior sendoff brought to you by CGSSG on Wednesday, December 3 from 4-6 PM in WPU Lower Lounge. This isn't an official graduation ceremony, but it will be a chance for you to celebrate your accomplishments with your friends, family, and CGS community! There will be catered food, CGS swag, and more, so join us in congratulating our CGS students who are graduating this year! 

Build Your Brand—Learn How to Be a Social Media Ambassador

Do you want to learn more about becoming a social media ambassador? Want to help promote brands and their products? If yes, you don't want to miss this. CGSSG will be hosting a casual, interactive event meant to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and network on how to become a social media ambassador. From Doritos to skin care companies, we have students who've promoted multiple brands who will share firsthand tips and tricks on how to be a social media ambassador! This may be especially useful for those of you majoring in Media and Professional Communications, and we'll also have someone from the Career Center there to give you advice on how to land an internship!

Mark your calendars for Monday, November 17 from 12:30-1:30 PM in WPU 548. No RSVP needed. Just show up and join the fun!

Join us on Thursday, November 20 from 5:30 - 7 PM in WPU Room 630 for a FREE Thanksgiving meal brought to you by CGSSG. Make sure to save your spot and RSVP by Tuesday, November 11. This is a casual, fun event for CGS students, so feel free to come and go. You don't have to stay for the whole time, and you can bring a friend with you as long as you complete the RSVP!
