The University of Pittsburgh’s Office of Human Resources is the recipient of the 2019 Plan Sponsor of the Year Award in the Public Defined Contribution category for the University's retirement savings plan.

The Plan Sponsor of the Year Award program recognizes retirement plan sponsors that show a commitment to their participants’ financial health and retirement success. Finalists are judged on a variety of factors including richness of program offerings, commitment to the program, leadership and innovation.
“We are thrilled for the University to again be recognized for our distinguishable efforts and commitment to developing customized educational programs to increase financial literacy, as well as help our generationally diverse workforce address their personalized needs and goals,” said Vice Chancellor of Human Resources Cheryl Johnson.
