Get the most interesting and important stories from the University of Pittsburgh.To help us get pumped up for fall, we asked Pitt-Greensburg President Robert G. Gregerson for his most motivational song recommendations. From Fleetwood Mac to Aaliyah, here’s what he offered.
It will be a “Beautiful Day” when you return to Pitt-Greensburg or begin your college experience at this wonderful campus.
Although you will never forget where you’ve come from, “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow,” and always let the goals you’ve set for yourself motivate you to succeed.
Having lofty ambitions is important, so don’t be afraid to “Dream On” and do “Whatever It Takes” to achieve your goals.
You have amazing opportunities ahead of you, so “Lose Yourself” in each moment, understanding that a college education requires dedicating your best effort to each daily task.
You will likely experience some setbacks along the way, but always “Try Again” if you get knocked down from time to time.
Remember that you will emerge “Stronger” after overcoming those challenges; you will be a true “Survivor.”
Build a supportive social network among your fellow students, and be sure your friends get the “Best of You” and expect the same from them in return.
But remember, you will always be your own best advocate, so “Get Up Stand Up” for yourself and give everything you do your very best effort.
In just a few short years, you will walk across the commencement stage, and it will be time for “Celebration!”
