PAAWP – Schools Committee
The Schools Committee represents the primary function of the PAAWP. This committee is responsible for recruiting prospective applicants and writing recommendations on their behalf to the Admission office.
The typical Schools Committee year begins with a meeting in October. Early Decision candidates are interviewed in November and remaining applicants are interviewed from December through early February. Recommendations are forwarded to the Admission Office by late November (for Early Decision) or mid-February. A reception is generally held for admittees in late April to help convince them which University we all know is best!!
If you are interested in helping out with the Schools Committee, please contact Greg Gerlach '84 (Chair) or Mary Lamb(Vice Chair).

The PAAWP hosted its annual lunch for local undergraduates, Early Decision admits, parents and alumni on Friday, December 29, at the Allegheny-HYP Club. Eight students attended, including Ronee Penoi ’07, John Edwards ’08, Alexander Kandabrow ’08, Evan Ayasso ’09, Caitlin Manzo ’09, Randall Dye ’10, and newly admitted James Connolly ’11 and Kyle O’ Donovan ’11.
Ronee Penoi ’07 talked about her senior thesis topic, and the current undergraduates offered advice to the new kids. Mike Manzo ’70 gave the new Princetonians Beat Yale buttons, subscribing to the theory that you can’t indoctrinate them soon enough!
Other Princetonians at the lunch included new-to-the-Pittsburgh area Robert Auray ’73, Tony Cerminaro ’76, Mary Ellen Martin Dye ’76, Greg Gerlach ’84, Mary Pagnotto ’00 and Michael Pagnotto ’00.
