PITTSBURGH, Pa., June 2, 2007 - The Student Government Board at the University of Pittsburgh announces its support for uPRnewswire.com. We will be using this web application to organize and maintain our Press Releases, as well as connect with other student organizations on campus as well as the local media.

We hope that other student organizations will do the same, in order to improve the infrastructure of group-to-group communication at the University of Pittsburgh.

ABOUT STUDENT GOVERNMENT BOARD - The Student Government Board exists to provide undergraduate, non-CGS students with representation as a student voice to University administration. The SGB represents the needs, interests, and concerns of all Pitt students. Another important aspect of the SGB is allocation of the student activities fee, which provides money to over 350 student organizations at the University of Pittsburgh.

The board is comprised of one President and eight Board Members, all elected by the student body. The SGB also has ten standing committees who address various aspects of campus life, including diversity, freshman involvement, and governmental relations.
