That's a Wrap: Pierce Events' Starbucks National Campus Tour Ten campuses. Six states. Two unforgettable weeks — and a homecoming finale at Pitt.

That's a wrap. The Starbucks national campus tour just came home, closing out today, November 4, at the University of Pittsburgh's Pitt Public Market — right here in our own backyard.

What started October 22 at Penn State turned into a two-week run across the country: ten campus stops in six states, meeting students where they already are — in dining halls, campus markets, and student unions — with Starbucks sampling and a high-energy campus activation at every stop.

The road, stop by stop

• Thursday, October 22 — Penn State, Findlay Dining Hall, State College, PA (11 AM–2 PM)
• Friday, October 23 — Duquesne University, Hogan Dining Hall, Pittsburgh, PA (11 AM–2 PM)

• Wednesday, November 4 — University of Pittsburgh, Pitt Public Market, Pittsburgh, PA (11 AM–2 PM)

Every campus had its own flavor. Some stops were classic lunch-rush sampling in the dining hall; others were evening activations that caught students between classes and dinner. The throughline was the same everywhere: great coffee, a welcoming setup, and a crew that genuinely loves being on campus.

Coming home to Pitt
There is something special about finishing a national tour at home. After stops in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama, the finale at Pitt Public Market felt like a homecoming — familiar streets, a Pittsburgh crowd, and the perfect place to close out the run. Thank you to everyone who stopped by.

Tours like this don't happen without great partners. Thank you to Starbucks, to the dining and hospitality teams at every campus who welcomed us in, and to the students who stopped, sampled, and spent a few minutes with us. And thank you to our road crew, who kept ten stops running smoothly across six states.
