💙💛 A lifetime of blue and gold.

Dr. Alfred Moyé (A&S ‘68G) left Pittsburgh 40 years ago, but Pitt has never left him. He has been a chemistry professor, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs, trustee, and Board of Visitors member for three decades. This Homecoming, the Pitt Alumni Association honored him with its 2026 Distinguished Alumni Fellow Award.

Now he’s helping shape Pitt’s future by supporting SCI's 3Sixty Program, which opens the door to computing and information for all Pitt students, especially those with no prior experience in the field.
