Two Swanson School Alumni named Pittsburgh 30 Under 30

Two former students were recognized for their early-career impact in Pittsburgh

Terrell Galloway and Benjamin Leslie, both graduates from the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering, are making a big difference in the city of Pittsburgh while not even thirty years old. 

Because of these early-career accomplishments, Galloway and Leslie were selected to be on the Pittsburgh Business Times 30 Under 30 list. In partnership with Leadership Pittsburgh Inc., the Pittsburgh Business Times honors young professionals who are making an impact on both their workplaces and their communities.
