GLOBAL SOLUTIONS PITTSBURGH PROGRAMS
Philanthropy in the 20th CenturyJune 25-29, 2012Teaching Fellows ProgramA Professional Development Program for TeachersSponsored by the Rockefeller Archive Center The Rockefeller Archive Center invites applications for a five-day professional development program for teachers whose courses might draw on the Center's vast archival collections. Successful applicants will be named Rockefeller Archive Center Teaching Fellows. During the week-long program the participants will develop a deep knowledge of the many domains touched by American philanthropy and will create relevant supplements for classroom use.The third year of the Teaching Fellows program will offer opportunities for teachers of world history as well as United States history by focusing on Rockefeller philanthropy and the various organizations that have carried out the philanthropic goals of three generations of Rockefeller family members. The reach of Rockefeller philanthropy is vast, extending from New York City and the Hudson Valley to Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia. The issues addressed by their foundations and nonprofit organizations cover a wide-range of topics, including the arts, public health, economic development, environmental protection, war-time relief efforts, and peace-time reconstruction, among many other subjects. The archival collections hold resources that are ideal for those who teach Global History and Geography, AP World History, and AP European History as well as all levels of U.S. History. The week at the Archive Center will include readings, discussions and lectures about Rockefeller philanthropy; site visits to the family home at Kykuit, the Union Church, and other nearby venues; and ample time to confer with archival staff and to explore primary documents, photographs, and films. As in previous years, each participant will spend the week identifying documents that can be used in the classroom. The lesson plans that emerge will be posted on the Rockefeller Archive Center website. The fellows will receive either a $500 stipend from the Rockefeller Archive Center or in-service credit. A certificate of completion will be awarded by the New York State Teacher Center Program, Bedford Staff Development Center. Applicants seeking credit should seek prior approval from their districts. All materials and lunch each day will be provided by the Archive Center. Awards will be announced by May 15, 2012.

//** The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh and the YWCA of Greater Pittsburgh present a Panel **////** Discussion and Reception In Celebration of International Women's Day 2012 **// Human trafficking is a crime that proves difficult to prosecute. However, most citizens are unaware of the magnitude of human rights abuses occurring in their own communities. The United Nations estimates that up to 4 million women and children are trafficked around the world for different forms of exploitation each year. Nearly every country is involved in the web of trafficking activities, either as a country of origin, destination, or transit, including the United States. What are the conditions that give rise to human trafficking? What can be done in the international community to combat human trafficking, particularly concerning women and girls? What strategies exist to deal with this problem locally? Join us for a moderated panel discussion and reception on this pressing topic. //** Supervisory Special Agent Brad Orsini ** entered on duty as a Special Agent in September, 1988. Following completion of training in Quantico, Virginia, SA Orsini was transferred to the Newark Division of the FBI.

In September, 2007, SA Orsini was promoted to Supervisory Special Agent (SSA). He currently supervises the Public Corruption and Civil Rights Squad for the Pittsburgh Division. He also oversees the Community Outreach Programs and is the Crisis Management Coordinator for the Pittsburgh Division.// //** Dr. Muge Kokten Finkel ** is an assistant professor of International Development at University of Pittsburgh.
