Join GlobalPittsburgh in Welcoming International Students Back to Town at the Next First Thursdays Event Sept. 6 at Mario's East Side Saloon in Shadyside

Please join us for festivities on Thursday, September 6 as we welcome back international students and globally-minded local scholars, entrepreneurs and friends at the next GlobalPittsburgh First Thursdays international networking event at Mario's East Side Saloon in Shadyside from 5:30-8:00 p.m.

We will be teaming up with the Graduate and Professional Student Government at the University of Pittsburgh for this event. It promises to be one of our biggest events of the year, with students and friends from many of the region's great colleges and universities in attendance, along with many GlobalPittsburgh hosts and members. There will be free appetizers, bar specials, raffles, cash bar and more. Bring your friends! Meet our visiting international delegations and mingle with many of the region's entrepreneurs and innovators.

GlobalPittsburgh First Thursdays is a regular monthly night of networking and socializing with different themes, different activities and different locations - but always with an international flavor - on the first Thursday of every month. It's an evening of friends, interesting conversation and good spirits with an international flair.

Mario's East Side Saloon is located at 5442 Walnut Street in Shadyside.

Admission is FREE for paid GlobalPittsburgh members and students with a valid student identification. Admission is $5 at the door for non-members and non-students. Membership information will be available at the event, but you may also join GlobalPittsburgh now at www.globalpittsburgh.org/membership and get in free on Sept. 6.
