  • PDP's 2018 Annual Report
    1 You may notice just the slightest silver metallic sheen to this report and that is entirely by design. Twenty-five years ago, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership was formed by business owners and community leaders who had a passion for Downtown. They loved this neighborhood and knew that it could become a dynamic destination for visitors, employers, workers, and developers alike. A place where people would want to live, where they would experience culture, art, sports and recreation, and appreciate amazing food and drink like nowhere else in Pittsburgh. A spot where a small business could grow and thrive, and where an innovative start-up could take root right next door to a Fortune 500 company. To ensure this vision came to fruition, these leaders established the PDP. Initially, our services were small, but important. We worked to ensure that Downtown was clean and safe, and we still do today. Just as the city has evolved, so has the PDP. We produce more programming than ever before, ensuring Downtown is vibrant and exciting not just during the regular work hours but on nights and weekends. We advocate for excellent transit options with safe and accessible routes for all and have expanded our work to look at the neighborhood around us and consider how we can provide the best, most beautiful and interesting experiences for everyone coming to Downtown. We continue to shout from the rooftop, not to mention every social media platform available, all of the news about Downtown! So, as we celebrate our Silver Anniversary, we decided not to spend too much time looking back.

  • Pittsburgh, PA Previous GTCA City 2013
    Pittsburgh, PA Previous GTCA City 2013 Contact: Tom Piccone ([email protected]); Andy Wang ([email protected]) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Church of God in Pittsburgh The Church of God in Pittsburgh was originally established as the Church in Pittsburgh in 1983, primarily through a migration of saints mainly from Ohio. Some years after a turmoil, the Church of God in Pittsburgh was incorporated in 2017. The church does not presently have a meeting hall, but meets on university campuses and in various saints’ homes. Approximately 40 currently gather on Lord’s Day mornings, including four children. The racial composition of the church is 59% Chinese and 16% Caucasian, with the remaining 25% a mix of Korean, Vietnamese, Black, and Indian. The current church life in Pittsburgh focuses primarily on campus work at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), though the need to gain more families is of equal priority (and not necessarily separate). Each year, the Lord adds remaining fruit to His Body through the saints’ labor on the campuses to gain college and graduate students, and sometimes university staff. In the past 12 years of campus work, dozens have been gained, but most have moved away. Only a handful of them have not been Asian. While the saints in Pittsburgh welcome all who would like to move here, we particularly see a need for young American families to migrate to the Pittsburgh area in order to share the burden of shepherding and gaining some from the population of American students and families for the strengthening of His testimony in this locality and region.

  • Fall 2006 Issue (PDF)
    Being the Best for the World t the start of each new academic year, I take the opportunity to address the assembled faculty and staff A to bring them up-to-date on the State of the College. My theme for this year’s report was “Celebrating What’s Right with La Roche.” I chose that theme after reflecting on a presentation by Dewitt Jones, a long-time photographer for National Geographic, in his video, “Celebrating What’s Right with the World.” Dewitt’s belief – one that I share – is that by focusing on the positive aspects of life we can foster the energy and creativity needed to make changes and improvements in our lives and in the lives of those around us. One of the points that Dewitt makes is that changing one word in a phrase can lead to a dramatic shift in how we approach our lives both individually and as a community. Specifically, he notes that when we concentrate on being the best in the world, we often focus on the trappings that come with talent and effort, money and recognition. Or, as a college, we can get lulled into complacency by rankings and reputations. In contrast, when our efforts are devoted to being the best for the world, we approach our tasks with an attitude of service and grace. Our perspective widens as we are not thinking only of ourselves and our institution. La Roche College may never be seen in the higher education community as the best college “in” the world, but, in light of the way that our faculty, staff, students and alumni live out the College’s mission in their lives, we certainly qualify as one of the best colleges “for” the world.
