The Office of Public Safety and Emergency Management is rolling out PittSAFE, the new Pitt-branded public safety app replacing RAVE Guardian, which will be discontinued Sept. 10. The app was shaped by University Communications and Marketing's design work, Public Safety's content updates, and Pitt Digital's testing and build support. PittSAFE offers features like Virtual Walkhome, Friend Walk, Mobile BlueLight, and campus-specific alerts, and is available now on the App Store and Google Play for Pitt community members and guests alike.

Pitt Digital completed a summer-long network modernization initiative that retired the legacy Wireless-Pittnet and Pitt Guest Wi-Fi networks on the Pittsburgh campus on Aug. 12. Faculty, staff and students now connect via PittNet, while visitors use the renamed Pitt Guest network. As part of the effort, the team installed nearly 4,000 new Wi-Fi access points in offices, classrooms and other non-residential spaces, upgraded wired connections, and conducted floor-by-floor building surveys to close coverage gaps.
