Homecoming means family for these Pitt graduates
For University of Pittsburgh alumna Roslyn (Moncini) Munsch (A&S '80), Pitt's annual Homecoming has become more than a celebration. It's a family reunion.
Munsch's daughters, Regina Munsch (ENGR '20, DEN '24) and Maria Munsch (ENGR '14), both graduated from Pitt, as did Maria's husband, Sean Vins (ENGR '14).
"I'm a very loyal person, to my family and my University," Roslyn said. "I'm blessed that my immediate family is also part of my Pitt family."
Her Panther family tree has many branches. They include roommates from across the country she still reunites with; fans she and her husband, Bill, have befriended as longtime Pitt basketball and football season ticketholders; and the many relationships she developed as a Pitt Alumni Association (PAA) board member, volunteer and mentor.
At Homecoming, those branches come into full blossom.
"It's all about connecting and reconnecting: seeing my friends who I know are going to be there and making new friends," said Roslyn, who received PAA's Roc Spirit Award at Homecoming in 2023.
Roslyn's love for Homecoming roots to her time as a student. During her senior year, she planned events as the event's co-chair. Today, Roslyn continues to enjoy the entire slate of Homecoming activities, from the Alumni Awards Celebration to fireworks outside the Cathedral and, of course, the tailgate and football game.
