Kid finally clicked the commit button! Yay!
I know I saw FB group for Pitt class of 2019 (actually saw 2) but I was wondering if there is a parents community anywhere? Thanks!
Also very interested myself! I know from experience with another child at a different university, a parents group can be a great source of information and support.
Yes, there is one on facebook called Panther Parents Association and it is very active.
I am having trouble finding it on facebook by that name. Anyone else have a tip for searching for this group?
It’s active but recently changed to “secret” setting because people were concerned about privacy. I just posted to ask how you can join. I will let you know.
Ok well links don’t work - I will have to wait for the moderator to reply…
Thank you for going to bat for us, amandakayak.
Another parent of a Pitt 2019 kid. Could not find any parents group on FB. Hope you hear something Amandakayak.
Here is a cut and paste from Facebook from the Moderator–
“All, as I posted a few weeks ago this group will continue with its current membership and be listed as secret. Due to information and identity security concerns, no new members will be accepted. Potential or current Pitt parents can always go to parents.pitt.edu which contains a lot of the same information that is shared on this site. Parents can contact me at 412-624-8548 or parents@pitt.edu. I am always glad to help. Thanks for your understanding.”
If you send a nice email, maybe something can be done to allow for new additions to the group.
It wasn’t that our family had specific questions that we need answered at this time. We were just looking for the support of the Pitt parent community. Really some other parents to share our excitement with. Sure am disappointed.
Can’t you start your own fb group? And PM us the details? I’d join!
Pls pm me too whoever starts one.
I’m not on fb but I’ll sign up if someone starts a parent group I can join.
Or it can be an email group or a google group or whatever. 
Thanks @TitanMom16…I ask a simple question and WHAM! I guess I am one of those troublemakers too? It seemed like something went down that I hadn’t seen. Meanwhile, we can all chat here for now. My ds just graduated last weekend, my junior is staying on campus for research and my #3 heads there in August to start. So…I will be around for quite some time!!!
@amandakayak , Congrats on your son graduating! How exciting! And two more at Pitt, I’m sure you have lots of wisdom to share.

I’ve started a closed facebook group, Pitt parents of class of 2019 + is the exact name. I’m no facebook genius, but I set it up as a closed group, which I think means people will have to identify themselves as a parent of an enrolled Pitt student before I let them in. Crossing fingers…
I don’t see your group via search but I sent you a Pm, @SpaceCoastMom
@SpaceCoastMom, I tried to look up the group too but couldn’t find it. Any way I can be added? I have a son going into his Sophomore year and another starting as a Freshman in the Fall.
I have a daughter who just committed to Pitt and would like to be added to the group as well.
I sent you all messages so hopefully we can connect and get this group going! Thanks for your patience!
