Established in 1965, REEES focuses on Central and Eastern Europe and the successor states of the Soviet Union. Students can take advantage of a wide range of courses, pursue international credentials, and get involved in learning outside the classroom to enrich their knowledge throughout these regions. REEES is the longest standing National Resource Center at Pitt, and your gift will ensure that we continue to prepare globally and interculturally competent students through our programming. We also welcome a conversation about creating new or named funds, and you can contact us with any questions. Thank you for your support.
