Pitt Day at Kennywood celebrates its 25th year

Top raffle prize at this year’s Pitt Day at Kennywood was a roller coaster ride with Chancellor Patrick Gallagher. Winner Sam Vescovi (left), assistant director for intramurals and recreation in Student Affairs, seems to be enjoying the Phantom’s Revenge almost as much as the chancellor himself. For more pictures of this year’s 25th anniversary Pitt Day at Kennywood, held July 17, see pages 6 and 7.
