  1. Congratulations, Dr. Maseru! The University of Pittsburgh will be well served as you have served the City of Cincinnati for over a decade.

  2. Congrats Noble. The University Of Pittsburgh is extremely fortunate to have on their faculty a highly qualified, principled and wonderful individual. I was fortunate to work with you and to build an excellent MPH Program at Morehouse School of Medicine. Continue to the GREAT!!!

  3. Superving Nurse Doris informed me that you relocated to Pittsburgh. I’m from there. In Nov 2017 I took my granddaughter there for a weekend of activities recruiting diversity students for the 2018 freshman class. Her best girlfriend is a freshman there and loves it. She did get accepted to Miami OH U and waiting on Howard U. I think she’ll end up at Miami because that’s where my son, daughter, and her mom graduated. I’ll leave you a message by phone to contact me. Again, congrats Doc
