Belkys Torres, Pitt’s associate vice provost for inclusive excellence in education, has a unique background that shapes her approach to fostering education at the university. As the daughter of Cuban refugees and a first-generation college and doctoral graduate, Torres draws on her personal experiences to create a more inclusive and diverse learning environment.
After a transformative trip to Cuba in 2017, Torres gained valuable insights into the importance of cultural understanding and respect for diversity. These lessons have guided her work at Pitt, where she has spearheaded initiatives to increase multicultural engagement opportunities, reform general education requirements, and establish the Global Hub.
The Global Hub, a space dedicated to promoting global studies and cultural exchange, stands as a testament to Torres’ commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive campus environment. Through her leadership and vision, Torres has transformed a once-empty hallway into a vibrant hub of learning and connection for students.
In addition to her work on campus, Torres also serves as a co-chair of the Hispanic Latinx Professional Association, collaborating with student organizations to enhance the sense of community and support for underrepresented groups.
Torres’ dedication to fostering a more inclusive and excellent education at Pitt has not gone unnoticed. Colleagues and students alike praise her passion, charisma, and ability to bring people together. As she continues to make a lasting impact on the university, Torres remains committed to being a resource for students and promoting meaningful dialogue and understanding.
