Signups have begun in the SSS office (8:30 a.m.–5 p.m.). Please sign up ASAP. A $5 refundable deposit is required. Please bring exact change. This event is free for students.

Even if you are from the Pittsburgh area or have lived here for over a year, you learn so much. We plan to stop in the Strip District for an hour for lunch (you pay for your own) and exploring. Afterward, the tour bus will make an optional stop at Point State Park where the three rivers meet. Please join us for this great way to explore Pittsburgh! 3.
