PITT-BRADFORD DRAWS MASCOT NAME FROM AVIATION HISTORY
BRADFORD, Pa. – The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford has revealed the name of its costumed panther mascot – Piper!
Beyond a happy alliteration, Piper salutes the campus’s ties to aviation history. The current campus stands on what was once the Harri Emery Airport. On a corner of the airport property where Blaisdell Hall stands today, the Taylor Aircraft Co., owned by Bradford oilman Willim Piper, manufactured the iconic light plane, “The Cub,” during the Depression.
A fire destroyed the factory in 1937, and Piper moved his company to Lock Haven, renaming it Piper Aircraft Corp. The Cubs developed on the land where Pitt-Bradford would stand became important aircraft in World War II, serving as reconnaissance and observation planes, transport vehicle and training airplane for pilots.
In 2006, Pitt-Bradford dedicated a monument to the little plane’s place in aviation history at Blaisdell Hall.
PITT-BRADFORD ADMISSIONS EVENTS PLANNED FOR FALL AND WINTER
The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford will hold three Saturday open houses this fall and winter that will offer the best opportunity for students and their families to meet faculty and staff, tour campus and talk with current students all in one afternoon.
Open houses begin at noon and will be Oct. 18, Nov. 1 and Feb. 21, 2026. The program ends around 3:30 p.m.
“The best way to get the feel of a campus and see what it would be like to be a student here is to visit,” said Alex Nazemetz, director of admissions. “And these are great opportunities for prospective students and their families to talk with faculty and current students and get their questions answered about things ranging from meal plans to how dual-enrollment credits transfer.”
Saturday visits, which are briefer than open houses, include a small group tour, brunch and a chance to meet with an admissions counselor. They will be held from 10:30 a.m. to noon Oct. 25, Nov. 15, Dec. 6, Jan. 31, April 4 and April 18.
Weekday visits are also available at 10 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays when the university is open and include lunch. Registration is requested for all admissions events. To register for any admissions events or take a virtual tour, visit upb.pitt.edu/visit-campus.

Cameron County Needs Volunteers
Cameron County Chamber of Commerce hopes a volunteer recruitment project will aid the more than 40 organizations in the county. The chamber has asked those organizations to complete a survey which will then be utilized to create a booklet. That booklet will then be used at formal recruitment events.
“Numerous residents are willing to volunteer, but may not know of the opportunities,” says Cameron County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tina Solak. This is the first step of a larger project, which will then involve coordinating volunteers to tackle projects around the county. They could include landscaping at buildings, painting etc. Solak says the chamber is duplicating a project underway in Kane. If any organization has not received the survey, members are asked to contact the chamber. The deadline for returning the survey is November 1.
