As a Title VI National Resource Center (NRC) funded by the US Department of Education, REEES plays a critical role in promoting regionally relevant scholarship and teaching, as well as raising knowledge and awareness about our part of the world among wider communities in the Pittsburgh area and beyond.

Aside from facilitating scholarship on the region, the Center also develops and supports student programs advancing foreign language acquisition, cultural immersion, and interdisciplinary area studies certificates to complement traditional disciplinary degrees. Our numerous domestic and international partner institutions provide additional resources supporting study abroad programs, visiting scholars, and other activities. We invite you to explore our programs and to be in touch concerning your own ideas and resources.
