Thus, an interesting parallel occurred earlier this month when, after a six year hiatus, the 20th running of the Pittsburgh Marathon took place while I was in China investigating partnerships to enhance the school's global reach. In each case, going the distance and focusing on key objectives drives success. The Pittsburgh Marathon promoted the city and region and my marathon trip promoted the school and University.
