"I realize that the responsibility of taking care of the most vulnerable in society falls on us. We need to help each other and see the need in our communities. I have a new confidence in caring for my community, and have a new appreciation for the City of Pittsburgh.” -Julia Messina, City Semester Student, Fall 2020
