Andre Hersan is an Academic Advisor with TRIO Student Support Services at the University of Pittsburgh. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Carnegie Mellon University and his Master of Education in Counseling from Duquesne University. Working at Pitt feels like the final piece of the puzzle, completing the trifecta of attending or working at the three major universities in Pittsburgh.
Before joining Pitt, Andre spent roughly 10 years as a high school math teacher and 5 years as a Licensed Professional Counselor, supporting students and families across educational, community-based, and behavioral health settings. These experiences shaped his passion for mentoring, problem-solving, and empowering students to recognize their strengths and achieve their goals.
