The University’s founding Spiritans were Sfrom Europe. Its earliest mission was to help the children of immigrant families. So, 140 years later, it’s fitting that the University continues to focus on international ties. This issue’s cover story celebrates Duquesne’s links to Rome, home of the University’s Italian campus, headquarters of the Spiritans and center of the Roman Catholic Church. Earlier this year, I traveled to the Eternal City for a firsthand look at the University’s connections to Rome. Not only did I meet our students during their European study-abroad experience at the Italian campus and get an inside look at the Spiritan headquarters near the Vatican, I also met Pope Francis. As I detail in this issue, meeting the Holy Father was the greatest honor of my life. Remarkable Duquesne experiences are also happening across the globe from Rome, closer to Pope Francis’ Latin American birthplace. A decade has passed since Duquesne students and staff started traveling to the Dominican Republic to help run a children’s day camp there as part of a cross-cultural mission experience. One young man has been part of the camp since its beginning—first as a child attending the camp and now as an adult who has returned each year to volunteer there. Roy Alejandro “Duquesne’s mission Reyes credits Duquesne students and staff members with helping him become stronger and create bonds of friendship, and he wants to for 140 years has continue that experience for other young people in his community. In these pages, you’ll also discover a new study-abroad program in been to serve God by Trinidad, read about pharmacy students who traveled to Haiti to assist a community-based medical clinic and learn how an alumna is working to serving generations of change the image of the nursing profession in her native Lebanon. We will continue to offer a transformative educational experience for students, who use their our newest freshman class, which includes students from 13 countries. You will read in this issue that 24 percent of new freshmen have relatives education to make a who are Duquesne alumni. Not only does our influence stretch across the world, it stretches across generations of families. difference close to Duquesne’s mission for 140 years has been to serve God by serving generations of students, who use their education to make a difference home or far away.” close to home or far away.

  • Poleroid Theatre Presents PLASTIC by Kenneth Emson
    Poleroid Theatre presents PLASTIC By Kenneth Emson TOURING SPRING-SUMMER 2017 A shitty little town in Essex. A summer’s day. Amid the prefect badges and empty B&H packets, a secret lurks that will send shivers down the spine of a small community. By award-winning television and screen writer Kenneth Emson, Plastic is an extraordinary, heady mix of drama and performance poetry, a dynamic new verse play looking at the musicality in the everyday; the first moments of adulthood, the hard edge of school abuse, the creation of urban folklore and the seemingly random moments that come to define our adult lives. Today’s the day Yes it is Reebok Classic of a day today Yes. It. Is. Directed by Josh Roche (RSC/Globe/nabokov/Finborough) and produced by acclaimed, triple Off West End Theatre Award- nominated Poleroid Theatre, Plastic previewed to a packed house at Latitude Festival 2015. Plastic’s debut production starred Katie Bonna (Dirty Great Love Story), James Cooney (Bottleneck), Adam Gillen (Benidorm/Fresh Meat) and Scott Hazell (Mudlarks). ‘Top of this week’s list for all theatre-goers.’ Bargain Theatre London ‘An extraordinary piece of theatre’ Female Arts ‘Touching and beautifully written’ Postscript Journal We are now planning an extensive small-scale UK tour in Spring-Summer 2017, with support from the Mercury Theatre in Colchester and High House Production Park in Thurrock, pending an ACE application.

  • 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.
