Our IT team is excited to welcome our work study student, Noah Buffington. Currently in his junior year at Pitt, Noah studies Mechanical Engineering and is pursuing a certificate in Nuclear Engineering. In his free time, Noah builds computers, does 3D modeling and printing, plays video games, and is a student pilot.

Noah will be assisting in our IT infrastructure here at WISER: providing computer support, maintaining simulation equipment and software, and using our 3D printer. And our outgoing Director of IT, John Lutz, realizes that he has working IT equipment that is older than Noah!

June is here, which means iSIM is right around the corner. Our two‑day program on foundational simulation‑based education skills takes place June 22–23, bringing educators together for hands‑on learning, practical techniques, and meaningful discussion around effective simulation design. Registration is open to anyone looking to strengthen their educational toolkit and grow their confidence in the sim environment.
