Reception to celebrate Pitt urban center's research

"The University of Pittsburgh's University Center for Social and Urban Research first began collecting survey data quietly four decades ago.

The center has completed hundreds of studies, published a dozen books and documented the region's strengths and weaknesses, ranging from the collapse of heavy industry 30 years ago to slowly blossoming population growth today."

UCSUR will celebrate 40 years of service with an invitation-only cocktail reception from 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 30 at Pitt's University Club, 123 University Place, Oakland. The keynote speaker will be former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and former Alcoa Chief Executive Officer Paul O'Neill.
