Forgetting about Pitt could have been easy for Roberta Luxbacher (BSChE ’78) considering the global demands of her career in the energy industry. She got started on her career path as a student through a summer internship in Sweden with a mineral fertilizer, oil and gas company. The internship was made possible by a $500 travel scholarship from the Swanson School of Engineering. The experience was enough to gain a job offer from Exxon following graduation, and she’s spent the rest of her career with the company, which is now ExxonMobil. Donors Empower Pitt
