Pittsburgh's Action Sports director Andrew Stockey and retired WTAE anchor Sally Wiggin were invited as panelists to discuss Cope's impact in Pittsburgh and on the broadcasting industry.
Bernie Ankney, dean of the School of Communication at Point Park, said that aspiring broadcasters can learn a lot from the career of Cope.
"Myron started as a print journalist, later became a radio journalist, a TV journalist and then a sports broadcaster," Ankney said. "I think, for our students who are graduating today, you need to learn a lot of different tricks because you don't know where that first job is going to be. It could be in radio, it could be in TV, could be in social media. I think the lesson from Myron's career is: Be ready to change."
Guy Junker, retired Pittsburgh's Action Sports anchor, served as emcee for Monday's event.
