The Point Park community celebrated its 50th commencement on Saturday, May 1, at Mellon Arena. Point Park graduates Shea Mihm Gopaul and Rob Ashford gave the address for the hooding and commencement ceremonies respectively.

The graduates’ excitement for the day was palpable. The new alumni exchanged hugs and congratulatory words with each other, their friends and family amidst bobbing balloons and fragrant flowers.

This year’s ceremonies marked Point Park’s 50th year as a degree-granting institution. The University invited alumni from each of the 50 graduating years as well as former faculty and University presidents to partake in the celebration. The alumni processed into the ceremony with the 2010 graduates, holding signs to represent their graduation year. A reception for the participating alumni followed commencement.

The day’s speakers had their own special messages to deliver to the graduates.

Shea Mihm Gopaul, a 1976 graduate of Point Park and director of administration for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), addressed the master’s degree

graduates during the hooding ceremony. (Meet Shea Gopaul on page 12).

“As students at Point Park, you have been taught to dissect, to analyze, to question,” said Gopaul. “To become sophisticated thinkers you were urged to critique your peers and focus on nuances. However, I would suggest to you that finding commonalities and trying to simply connect is a more effective goal at times.”

Rob Ashford, a 1983 graduate of the University’s Conservatory of Performing Arts and acclaimed Broadway choreographer, gave the undergraduate commencement address.

“Today is a momentous occasion. There is momentum in the momentous,” said Ashford. “I encourage you all when you leave here to let your momentum show…. Do not allow fear to alter your path. Put fear away as you put your cap and gown away.”

Michelle Guaragno, a graduate from the School of Arts and Sciences with a biological sciences degree, gave the outstanding graduating senior address during the commencement ceremony. “Education is the foundation to unlock a golden door of opportunity to a limitless future,” she said.

If you ran into Ed Haberle (BUS 1979)at Pittsburgh International Airport, you might guess he is a successful executive on the go. Which he definitely is.

But don’t let the power suit and the leather dress shoes fool you.

The former star first baseman for the Point Park University Pioneers is also living out a sports fanatic’s dream.

Haberle, Nike’s U.S. commercial director of sporting goods, has golfed with John Elway, chatted with Michael Jordan and met Wayne Gretsky. Entertaining clients has enabled him to see eight Super Bowls, the NCAA Final Four and NBA All-Star games.

“It’s been a great ride,” Haberle says. “It’s all about sports enabling people to lead a better life.”

Most days, Haberle laces up one of his 50 pairs of high-performance sneakers and puts on a polo shirt before heading to work in the Nolan Ryan Building in Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. The dress code here is Swoosh-powered casual. Time permitting, he even breaks a sweat inside the Bo Jackson Gym on Nike’s sprawling campus.

Every month, he flies to Pittsburgh to work at the Nike office in Robinson so he can see clients at Dick’s Sporting Goods. In fact, Dick’s is such an important client that Haberle lobbied the company, which was looking to move from its Binghamton, N.Y., base, to relocate its headquarters to Pittsburgh in 1994. When he shows Dick’s clients the latest sports apparel,

Haberle dons formal business attire. Haberle has the confident stride of an athlete. His imposing 6-foot-3-inch build seems to fill a room. But he has the natural salesman’s gift of putting people at ease.

The son of a steelworker, he grew up in Monroeville, playing baseball. Once at Point Park, “Big E,” as his roommate called him, distinguished himself as a power-hitting lefty. “He had the tools to play professional baseball – that opinion was backed by scouts,” says his classmate Mike Fetchko (COM 1978), who did play-by-play for the college radio station. Any pro hopes were dashed when Haberle injured his knee as a sophomore. Even so, Haberle lead the underdog Pioneers to two College World Series championships in St. Joseph, Mo., in 1978 and 1979, placing fifth and third. The trip out in 1978 was his first plane ride.

Haberle, who was inducted into the University’s athletic hall of fame, says Point Park taught him the fundamentals of business. His first job after graduation didn’t fit him like a well-worn baseball glove — selling hair care products for Cosmair L’Oreal.

In 1981, Jeff Cohen, his college baseball teammate, tipped him off to a sales job at Nike’s Pittsburgh office. By 1990, he became a manager and by 1996, he had advanced so far he moved to Oregon. But his Northwest office is still awash in Steelers, Pirates, Pens and Point Park memorabilia. “It is like Pittsburgh west coast,” says Fetchko, president of Integrated Strategic Marketing in Pittsburgh.

Haberle loves talking athletic shoes. His personal favorites are a pair of 1982 Air Force One high tops, in pristine condition in their box, and a copy of the Air Jordan Limited Edition the superstar wore in the Olympics. “To me, they’re priceless.” He runs the coolness factor of products past his two sons, Evan, 14, a baseball star, and Hayden, 18, a talented fencer.

Haberle gave Point Park alumni a taste of sneaker culture at a University event held on the Oregon campus of Nike, a $20 billion global power. Point Park President Paul Hennigan was there. So was Fetchko, who says, “Ed took his passion for baseball and applied it to a different major league — Nike.”

The REP continues its role as a laboratory for provocative theatre with February’s opening of A Moon to Dance By. An unsurpassed creative team

brings to life an original work that—true to the company’s reputation—asks more questions than it answers.

Written by Playhouse veteran Thom Thomas, A Moon Dance

By stars Tony-winner and Oscar-nominee Jane Alex-ander as Frieda Weekley, a German aristocrat who as a young mother aban-doned her husband and children to travel the world with writer D.H. Lawrence. Years after Lawrence’s death, at a ranch in the sparse New Mexico desert, Weekley meets with her grown son who wants to talk about love, loss and

life’s choices. Broadway and Hollywood director

and producer Edwin Sherin directs a tale based on

fact, imagined accusations and a tangled web of allegiances.

The REP’s production marks the East Coast premiere of A Moon to Dance By. In the fall of 2007, the cast read an original script at Primary Stages in New York City, allowing the playwright to revise sections and boost the character studies.

Thom Thomas had planned to write about D.H. Lawrence but quickly became fascinated with the free spirit who inspired a number of strong female characters in the author’s novels. When he read a mention that Frieda Weekley’s son came to visit his mother in 1939, for the first time in 30 years, the playwright knew he’d found his story.

A Moon to Dance By considers the emotional warring of mother and son at a time when the world was on the brink of war.

“Frieda was never settled in life, and it cost her,” says Jane Alexander. The actress is looking forward to playing Weekley and being back on the stage doing her first play in more than three years.

The four-time Oscar nominee (for Testament, Kramer vs. Kramer, All the President’s Men, and The Great White Hope) shot three films in 2008, including Terminator: Salvation due out in May. She also co-starred in another season of the HBO drama series Tell Me You Love Me.

“The stage is where I started,” says the actress. “I love to sense the audience, to feel the give-back from the audience. I am looking forward to A Moon to Dance By.

Her distinguished career of over 100 stage roles in-cludes a Tony award-winning performance in The Great White Hope directed by her husband Sherin.

Sherin and Alexander will team in the upcoming REP production. The director didn’t initially recom-mend his wife for the lead because of potential scheduling conflicts, and another actress read for the part. The playwright, however, couldn’t help but imagine Alexander in the role. Sherin is pleased things worked out they way they did.

“Jane read and loved the play,” he says. “Of course she had certain feelings about enriching the

character.”

As a result of the reading in New York, the play has “more texture and is more focused,” says Thomas of complex process of developing a final script.

Two other Thom Thomas plays have been produced at the Playhouse where the successful author, screenwriter, television producer and one-time actor got his start. Thomas completed a two-year program at the former Pittsburgh Playhouse School of Theatre in 1960. After pursuing a mas-ter’s in fine arts at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University), Thomas became associate professor of theater at Point Park College and later headed the department.

He served as artistic director of the Playhouse from 1966 to 1972, artistic director of the Odd Chair Playhouse in Bethel Park from 1967 to 1974, and artistic director of the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, directing shows at the new Heinz Hall during the 1972 season.

“I’m looking forward to being back in Pittsburgh,” says Thomas, a Washington County native who lives near downtown Los Angeles.

Alexander is returning to the city that she visited last in the 1990s during her tenure as chairman of the National

Endowment for the Arts. “Many times at the NEA I pointed to Pittsburgh’s cul-

tural alliances as examples of how arts groups can share knowledge and pain and become successful together.”

Sherin says he is fortunate to have the professionals affiliated with Point Park

University working on A Moon to Dance By. Steffi Mayer-Staley’s set will “express the envi-

ronment perfectly.” Her minimalist approach fits the production, he says noting that the Playhouse is lucky to have her and Ron Lindblom’s other professionals.

“Ron’s vision is extraordinary,” says the esteemed producer and director. “He has a love of European repertory companies, as I do, and an international outlook in general.“

“This production wasn’t easy because of Jane’s schedule and other challenges, but he made it happen. Ron seems to breathe life into everything he undertakes.”
