Pittsburgh is a classic demonstration of once an affluent city driven by natural resources. Countless scholars consider Pittsburgh as a source of inspiration in making something extraordinary. Pittsburgh is the home of two prominent schools: University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Melon University, making it a birth place to many Nobel as well as Pulitzer Prize winners. Pittsburgh bears “City of Champions” as its nickname and “Benigno Lumine” (Latin) which means “by the favor of heavens” as its motto. With all these attributes, there is no doubt that Pittsburgh deserves its legacy of excellence.
