Rumble in the Jungle

Saturday, November 1, 2025

Get ready for the biggest Pitt State Admission event of the year:
Rumble in the Jungle!

This isn’t your average campus visit. It’s an all-day open-house packed with energy, future friends, and a first look at life in Gorilla Nation.

Explore your academic interests, connect with faculty and staff, and take an optional tour of campus facilities to see what makes Pitt State feel like home. Start your day with free coffee and donuts at check-in, and enjoy lunch on us in Gibson Dining Hall.

Don’t miss your chance to begin your journey to Pitt State!
