Colleges admissions offices in Pittsburgh say they had to make plans on the fly to keep students applying during the pandemic. More than a year later, admissions staff have a better idea of how to blend this new virtual approach with their traditional in-person events.

Duquesne University student ambassador Elizabeth Hartung said it was important for the college to offer in-person tours, since virtual platforms limit communication with students.
