At a special reception in Old Main, Global Online students from across the country gather for a portrait with President Angelo Armenti, Jr. before the University’s 173rd Commencement. For the
second consecutive year, SR Education Group has ranked Cal U Global Online the No. 1 online degree program in the nation.

Best in the U.S. for Online Education

al U once again has been ranked No. 1 in the
nation for its online degree and certificate
programs.
The Online College Rankings are compiled annually
by SR Education Group, an educational resource
provider based in Kirkland, Wash. The 2012 Top 30
Online Colleges are listed on its flagship site, Guide to
Online Schools ( www.guidetoonlineschools.com ).
A new portion of the guide also lists Cal U among
the nation’s top military-friendly schools.
The online guide is intended “to help prospective
students make informed decisions about how to invest
in their education,” the report says. “Our goal is to hold
online schools accountable to the same high standards
we expect of traditional institutions.”
To determine the rankings, SR Education Group
examines accreditations, the cost of tuition and books,
student-to-faculty ratios, graduation and retention rates,
and the rate at which students repay their college loans
on time.
Statistics are gathered from the U.S. Department of
Education’s National Center for Education Statistics,
the primary federal entity for collecting and presenting
data related to education.
Student feedback also plays a role in the rankings.
“The course requirements were rigorous,” one Cal
U Global Online student reported. “I was obtaining a

C

degree in a field I had worked in for nearly 20 years and
actually learned something new and was challenged by
the curriculum.
“The online format, available resources and tools
were all exceptional and contributed to enhancing the
learning experience.”
Cal U’s Global Online programs allow students to
complete their assignments at any time of the day or
night, from anywhere in the world. That makes it
especially appealing to working professionals and
members of the armed forces.
“I work full time, so this has been a real benefit,”
another student wrote. “I interacted with students from
other areas of the country and learned about their
teaching experiences. I would suggest this school to
anyone that wants to attend school online for an
affordable price.”
Following Cal U on the 2012 Top Online Colleges
list are Western Governors University, in Utah; Iowa
Central College; National University, in California; and
Abilene Christian University, in Texas.
Cal U Global Online continues to grow. It now
provides more than 1,800 students with affordable,
high-quality master’s degree, bachelor’s degree and
certificate programs. Compared to the 2010-2011
academic year, total enrollment increased by 6.1
percent this year.

“Enrollment is especially strong in our online
master’s degree programs,” said Dr. John Cencich, dean
of the School of Graduate Studies and Research.
“Building on the strength of our traditional, face-toface graduate programs, Cal U has developed
challenging course content that can be delivered
effectively over the Internet by engaged, technologysavvy professors and exceptional support services.”
The Office of Web-Based Programs provides
support for Global Online students from their initial
inquiry through Commencement, when many students
come to campus to receive their diploma. The office
focuses on customer service, with client service
specialists, a financial aid representative and other
support personnel on hand to answer questions and
address any concerns.
“Our Global Online students receive the same highquality educational experience offered to everyone who
enrolls at Cal U,” said University President Angelo
Armenti, Jr. “The program’s continuing growth speaks
to the value of our Internet-based programs.”
Guide to Online Schools ranked Cal U second
nationally in 2009, the guide’s first year. California
University moved to the top of the list the following
year, and it has held the No. 1 spot ever since.

embers of the Cal U community gathered
on Dec. 7 to celebrate the achievements of
two women who were honored by the
President’s Commission for the Status of Women.
The commission presented two Fall 2011
Outstanding Woman of the Year awards — to
graduate student Domenica “Dee” Stalvey and to
nontraditional undergraduate Tina McLee.
Both women completed their studies in December.
Stalvey earned her master’s degree in legal studies
with a concentration in law and public policy, and
McLee graduated with a Bachelor of Social Work
degree.
Stalvey, executive associate to President Angelo

M

Armenti, Jr., was honored for her role as a mentor to
many people on campus, and for volunteering at her
church and local volunteer fire department. She and
her husband, Joe, support an endowed scholarship at
Cal U.
“I sincerely thank the President’s Commission for
the Status of Women for this honor,” Stalvey said. “I
am very humbled by this recognition, because I know
there are many women graduate students here at Cal
U who pursue scholarly activities and also give of
their time and energy to serve others in many ways.”
McLee also was honored for her role as a mentor
to fellow students and her community activities,

Navoney to Lead
Development and
Alumni Relations
niversity President Angelo Armenti, Jr. has appointed Sharon
Navoney to serve as interim vice president for University
Development and Alumni Relations, effective Jan. 5.
“I know Sharon will bring consistency and stability to this position,
and I look forward to great momentum as a result of her appointment,” the President said.
During more than 20 years as a fund development professional,
Navoney has actively participated in seven capital campaigns while
working in public and private higher education, academic medicine,
and a pediatric hospital foundation.
She joined Cal U’s development staff in April 2009 as senior director of major gifts and planned giving.
Since January 2010 Navoney has served as associate vice president
for development, providing strategic planning and support for Cal U’s
$35 million capital campaign, as well as oversight for planned and
major individual giving, advancement services, prospect research and
management, donor relations, and special events.
“I am excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to
building upon the many successes the department has achieved over
the past several years,” Navoney said.
“We have a renewed excitement and energy focused not only on
successfully completing our Campaign To Build Character and
Careers, but also on continuing engaging our alumni, friends and
University family in Cal U for Life.
“We have made great strides and built momentum in several critical areas of development and alumni initiatives, and I believe we are
poised to accomplish even more.”
Before coming to Cal U, Navoney was director of major gifts and
planned giving at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation,
where she managed a portfolio of about 175 prospects and worked
closely on the $100 million capital campaign for the new Children’s
Hospital of Pittsburgh campus.
From 2001-2004 she was employed at Carnegie Mellon University,
where she was associate vice president of constituent development and
executive director for development for the Graduate School of
Industrial Administration.
She also has filled various development roles, including executive
director of development for the School of Medicine, at the University
of Pittsburgh/University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Navoney holds a bachelor’s degree from Edinboro University and a
master’s degree in administrative and policy studies/higher education
administration from the University of Pittsburgh. In addition, she
earned a certificate in management of nonprofit organizations from
Pitt’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs.

A group of students from Cal U visited the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial, in Washington, D.C.,
last year. On Tuesday, students will continue to remember King’s legacy as they participate in the
University’s annual Day of Service.

Cal U Set for Annual
Day of Service
al will honor the memory of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. by putting his
message into practice Tuesday during
the University’s annual Day of Service.
From 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. tomorrow,
members of campus clubs and organizations
will meet in the Natali Student Center to
perform service-oriented activities coordinated
by the Center for Civic Engagement.
Inspiration for the Day of Service was a
2003 visit to Cal U by the late Coretta Scott
King, wife of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. During her campus visit she asked that the
day commemorating her late husband be
observed as “a day on, rather than a day off.”
“Our students take this day and Mrs.
King’s message very seriously,” said Diane

C

Williams, director of Cal U’s Center for Civic
Engagement. “Even though the spring
semester did not start until a week later than
the holiday, it is important for the students
and other members of the University
community to do their part.”
Williams also emphasized that the Day of
Service ties in with the Cal U for Life initiative,
which encourages students to share their time
and talent. It also reflects the eighth goal of
the University’s Strategic Plan by fostering
civic engagement.
Last year, more than 150 students, staff
and faculty performed volunteer work on the
Day of Service.

which include assisting the Junior ROTC
and volunteering at her church. She even
postponed hip-replacement surgery to
fulfill her duties as a student and the
mother of two teenagers.
“I am humbled by the whole
experience,” McLee said. “It is a
privilege and an honor to accept this
award.”
President Armenti has been a staunch
supporter of the commission since
coming to Cal U in 1992.
“Members of the commission have

worked hard to create a positive campus
climate for women over the years,” he
said at the luncheon.
The President also congratulated
both women on their achievements
— reserving a special comment for
Stalvey, with whom he has worked
closely for almost 20 years.
“I am very proud of her for earning a
master’s degree in one of the toughest
programs we have with all of her other
responsibilities,” he said.
Dr. Elizabeth Jones, an original
member of the President’s Commission,
was the guest speaker at the Woman of

the Year luncheon. She retired in
December as a professor in the Sociology
Department after 20 years at Cal U.
Since the luncheon was held on Pearl
Harbor Day, Jones discussed the
monumental changes in American
society that occurred when women
entered the workplace during World War
II.
“The war began a societal
conversation about important issues like
pay equity and women as second wage
earners. As I conclude my tenure, I’m
glad we have a commission at Cal U to
address the issues of today,” she said.

Vulcans Lead Dixon Trophy Race
ollowing arguably the most
successful overall fall sports
season in school history, Cal
U athletics leads the Dixon Trophy
standings and ranks third in the
national Directors’ Cup.
The Dixon Trophy is awarded
annually to the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference (PSAC)
member institution with the most
successful all-around program. The
winner is determined by a point
system based on the results of
conference playoffs and/or regularseason records.
Each institution’s point total is
calculated by adding its top six
women’s finishes and top six men’s
finishes in 22 conference sports.
Cal U compiled 92.5 overall
points during the fall season, the
highest fall total in school history.
Women’s soccer and women’s
volleyball each earned 16 points after
capturing conference titles. Football
(13.5), women’s golf (13), men’s
cross country (11) and men’s soccer
(11) added double-digit points.
Rivals Kutztown and West
Chester are second and third in the
trophy standings, with 74.5 and 73.5
points, respectively.
Since 2008, Cal U has finished
no less then third in the standings
each year. The Vulcans won the
Dixon Trophy in 2009 and placed
second in 2010.
Announced through the National
Association of Collegiate Directors
of Athletics, the Learfield Sports
Directors’ Cup annually honors
institutions maintaining a broadbased program in both men’s and
women’s sports. The scoring system

Former Cal U distance runner Christopher Clark

Alumnus
Competes in
Marathon
Trials
ormer Cal U distance runner Christopher
Clark, of Hadley, Pa., competed in the
U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials on Jan. 14
in Houston, Texas.
Running in his first competitive marathon,
Clark finished 82nd among nearly 300 runners,
with a time of 2 hours, 30 minutes and 10
seconds.
The top three finishers will represent the
United States in the marathon at the 2012
Olympic Games in London. They were Meb
Keflezighi, the 2004 Olympic silver medalist;
Ryan Hall, the U.S. marathon record holder; and
Abdi Abdirahman, a three-time Olympian.
The trials were broadcast on NBC-TV.
Since July 2010 Clark has run professionally
for ZAP Fitness Foundation, a non-profit
training center for post-collegiate, Olympic
hopeful distance runners. Clark qualified for the
trials by posting a time of 1 hour, 4 minutes and
38 seconds at the USA Half Marathon
Championships, also held in Houston.
“To do as well he did in his first competitive
marathon is impressive,” said Dan Caulfield, Cal
U’s veteran men’s and women’s cross country
coach. “However, it’s not surprising because of
how determined and focused Chris is in anything
he does.”
During his collegiate career, Clark was a fivetime NCAA All-American in cross country and
track and field. He was the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference (PSAC) Cross Country and
Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year during his
2008-2009 senior season.
Clark also received the conference’s inaugural
Sportsmanship Award, along with Clarion
swimmer Jamie Murphy. This honor is given
annually to one male and one female studentathlete who best exemplify the spirit of
sportsmanship and who have demonstrated the
values of respect and integrity through a specific
action ideally directed toward an opponent.
Clark, who earned both his bachelor’ and
master’s degrees from Cal U, was the first
Academic All-American in the history of the
university’s cross country and track and field
programs.

seven men’s and seven women’s
sports teams.
The Vulcans compiled 243 points
through the fall competition. Grand
Valley State (Mich.), which has won
the Directors’ Cup for eight
consecutive years, remains atop the
standings with 260 points. Chico
State (Calif.) is second with 257

NCAA post-season appearances by
women’s soccer, volleyball, men’s
soccer and football.

Cal U is one of five PSAC
programs to rank in the top 30 in the
national standings this fall.
Last year, the Vulcans finished
12th in the final standings — Cal U’s
fourth straight season to appear in
the Directors’ Cup top 15 schools.
The Dixon Trophy standings will
be updated next after basketball
championships are completed in
early March.
The first Division II Directors’
Cup winter standings will be
released on March 15.

Awards Highlight Student Creativity
he creativity of hundreds of secondary school
students is on display in Gallagher Hall through
Feb. 12 as part of the Scholastic Art and Writing
Awards of Southwestern Pennsylvania.
The awards recognize outstanding young artists and
writers from schools in Washington, Greene and Fayette
counties.
This year’s local event drew 376 art submissions and
55 writing entries from 28 schools. This is the third year
that Cal U has hosted the event.
“Creativity lights up individual lives, leads to new
discoveries and drives progress — in medicine, in physics,
in computer science, in space exploration, in
nanotechnology, in government — in every human
endeavor,” said Janice Hatfield, co-director of the
Scholastic Art and Writing Awards of Southwestern
Pennsylvania.
“That is why the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards
and similar programs that recognize and reward creativity
are so important.”
Five Cal U faculty members, from the departments of

T

English and Art and Design, were among the judges for
this year’s event. Dr. Scott Lloyd, Gregory Harrison and
Richard Miecznikowski evaluated submissions. Dr. Kurt
Kearcher and Dr. Krystia Nora judged the written pieces.
Harrison, Nora and Dr. William Hendricks serve on
the Scholastic board of directors.
Since the program began in 2002, more than 3,000
students have participated in the Scholastic Art and
Writing Awards of Southwestern Pennsylvania, which is
an affiliate of the national Alliance for Young Artists and
Writers. Locally, almost $20,000 has been awarded for
outstanding work.
The awards ceremony at Cal U will be held at 2 p.m.
Feb. 12 in Steele Hall Mainstage Theatre.
Students who earn Gold Keys at the regional level are
automatically entered in the national awards program later
this year.
“Scholastic has been encouraging and rewarding
writers for a long, long, time,” Nora said. “It’s a great
organization for anyone who might have quiet dreams of
becoming a writer, who thinks it could never happen.”
