In Memoriam: David McCullough '51

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian David McCullough '51 passed away on August 8, 2022. Perhaps SSA's most celebrated alumnus, McCullough was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, two Pulitzer Prizes for his presidential biographies, Truman and John Adams, two National Book Awards, more than 50 honorary degrees and membership in France's Legion of Honor. In 2013, Pittsburgh's 16th Street Bridge was renamed for him, the only Pittsburgher to be so honored in his lifetime.
