PDMA Pittsburgh Chapter

Thank you to all of the graduate and undergraduate students from the local universities that presented their incredible product ideas during the 8th Annual PDMA Pittsburgh Chapter Student Pitch Competition on November 21st. Teams from Carnegie Mellon University, Chatham University, Duquesne University, Robert Morris University, and the University of Pittsburgh did a amazing job with their product pitches, making it extremely difficult for the judges to select the winners. The winning teams walked away with cash prizes. They were also able to select two mentoring opportunties from local companies who are donating their time to the students. Undergraduate Winner - Forevergreen (Pitt) https://lnkd.in/gh8w5fjh Graduate Winner - Galen Health (CMU) https://lnkd.in/en2F8yJS Malleous - Best in Show (Pitt) https://malleous.com/ The audience also selected two "Adoring Audience Awards."
