AN EVENING WITH THERESE ROCCO: PITTSBURGH’ S FIRST FEMALE
ASSISTANT POLICE CHIEF 7 p. m., Wednesday, Nov. 14
Therese Rocco began her career in law enforcement as a 19-year-old clerk in the missing persons unit of the Pittsburgh Police Department. Her career ended nearly 50 years later as an honored and acclaimed assistant police chief, the first woman in the department— and the country— to reach such a high-ranking position. Rocco established national protocols for investigating missing children cases that have saved the lives of an untold number of children. To this day, she continues to work with the FBI on an unsolved missing child case that has haunted her since the 1960s. She is credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women on the police force in Pittsburgh, navigating her way through discriminating times in a male-dominated field, and helping female officers to succeed. Rocco will discuss her career, her memoir, and the upcoming documentary about her.
URBAN FORESTRY IN PITTSBURGH 7 p. m., Wednesday, Oct. 3
Joe Stavish of Tree Pittsburgh will discuss the meaning of Urban Forestry and future plans for Pittsburgh’ s urban forest. Environmental services provided by trees, common stress issues, pests, and diseases that trees face, along with general tree care, will be covered in depth.
