  • Mayor Peduto's Education Task Force Report
    CITY OF PITTSBURGH Mayor Peduto’s Education Task Force Report Policy Recommendations 2/10/2015 The Task Force, which includes members of both governments as well as community leaders, seeks to be the foundation for that united effort to improve of the lives of children and youth in our City, recognizing that the benefits will extend beyond the youngest residents and serve all who live, work and recreate in Pittsburgh. I. Why Collaboration and Why Now? Institutional collaboration, particularly across governments, is critical to improving the quality of services and to creating a more robust and vibrant community. Such collaboration, as distinct from spontaneous and ad hoc collaboration, requires the support of leadership from the governance level through to implementation. When city and school governments have established processes as part of a culture of collaborating with one another, there is a greater likelihood that the wellbeing of those being served – children, youth and adults – are at the center of decision-making rather than casual by-standers. Mayor William Peduto’s Education Task Force (the Task Force) represents a first step of critical collaboration between the two most important governmental institutions in the city: The City of Pittsburgh (the City) and the School District of Pittsburgh (the District), also known as the Pittsburgh Public Schools. From the introduction of the legislation creating the Task Force through each of its meetings, the need for increased, consistent and honest collaboration was the common thread of discussion and a clear desire of all participants. These two independent governments with their legislative and executive branches, their different missions and separate authority to tax, their individual cultures and myriad of contracts, affect the lives of each and every Pittsburgh citizen directly through service provision and indirectly by creating the culture of our community.

Even as the population and density of these cities de- crease, the infrastructure and physical area—and the cost to maintain them—remain the same. A new concept known as “Creative Shrinkage” calls for planning proactively for the possible or likely population shrinkage of a city by adjusting its physical size to its reduced population. This study explores the causes of urban growth and decline in Youngstown, Ohio and Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania and compares Pittsburgh’s conventional responses with the unconventional “Creative Shrinkage” responses adopted by Youngstown, and determines that Creative Shrink- age as utilized in Youngstown has several standard components that allow for its use as a strat- egy for declining cities. The study suggests a new federal program to assist declining cities with shrinkage and calls for a shrinkage-oriented planning model.

  • Supporting the Science That Brings Us Hope
    SUPPORTING THE SCIENCE THAT BRINGS US HOPE PHILANTHROPY REPORT 2020-21 TO OUR MAGEE FAMILY, First of all, as we bring 2020 to a close and look forward to 2021, I hope this year’s philanthropy report finds you safe, well and happy. We deeply value your support, and during a year of constant change, your commitment to scientific research has been incredibly important. Our ongoing partnerships with foundations, corporations and individual donors throughout the international COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to our longevity and helped us find new ways to support our mission. The pandemic brought changes and challenges that would have been unheard of this time last year. From school shutdowns to state-wide lockdowns, from remaining in our homes for several months to the normalization of mask-wearing and temperature checks, the “new normal” has changed so quickly that adapting can feel overwhelming under the best of circumstances. While it felt like much of the world paused in early 2020, the research at Magee- Womens Research Institute and the patient care at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital continued, under drastically different circumstances. In a year of change, both organizations pivoted to adhere to the pandemic’s restrictions while still moving our crucial work forward. At the foundation, the fundraising efforts evolved into virtual opportunities in real time. Scientific research doesn’t stop in the midst of a pandemic – in fact, we learned just how critical laboratory research can be. With this report, you are the first to learn about a worldwide collaboration that includes four doctors seeking to do the impossible: helping people conceive biological children by creating eggs and sperm from skin cells.
