Cal U
Among
‘Best,’ Says
Princeton
Review

Acting President Geraldine M. Jones helps Brittney Smalls, a freshman from Howell, N.J., move her belongings into a residence hall as
Smalls’ mom, Bridgette, looks on.

Students Receive Warm Welcome,
Discover ‘Cal U for Life’
or the fourth consecutive year, incoming students at
Cal U took part in a Cal U for Life New Student
Orientation, their introduction to the University.
Held Aug. 24-26, the orientation consisted of informational sessions and activities designed to give students an
easy and enjoyable transition into the Cal U experience.
The Cal U for Life spirit was evident beginning with
Move-In Day. As new students and their families unloaded
their belongings, about 250 peer mentors, fraternity and
sorority members, and student athletes volunteered to carry

F

the items into the residence halls.
Acting President Geraldine M. Jones and members of
her Cabinet also were visible on campus as they welcomed
new students and their families.
Senior Lorena Aranda distributed neon-green T-shirts at
the registration table for volunteers.
“It was fun to help out,” she said. “The new students are
very important, and the orientation is a nice way to start the
year.”

Women ‘Find a Voice’ at Conference
ow, more than ever, the world
needs female leaders to bring
their voices to the table.
A conference Sept. 14-15 at Cal U
will address that need and explore
women’s leadership in the home, the
workplace, the media, the political
arena and the community.
Women: Finding a Voice and Leading
for Change will be presented by the
PASSHE Women’s Consortium and the
Audrey-Beth Fitch Women’s Studies
Conference.
“The PASSHE Women’s
Consortium is a professional organization of students, staff, faculty and
administrators from all 14 PASSHE
schools who are interested in advocating for women,” said Dr. Kimberly
Woznack, conference co-organizer and
secretary of the consortium.
“We can’t wait to see our members
from around the state and to host an
amazing program of events.”
Keynote sessions will be held in the
Performance Center, inside the Natali
Student Center.

Annie Holmes

Speakers include Ellen Bravo,
author of Taking on the Big Boy; Ayana
Ledford, of Carnegie Mellon
University’s Progress Center, who will
teach about negotiation and gender
awareness; and Annie Holmes, of Penn
State University, who will discuss the
campus climate for women.
A wide variety of breakout sessions
also are planned on topics such as
women in academia, workplace support for women, sex education,
women’s issues in the U.S. presidential
election, and women in media and professional sports.
“Evidence shows that when a wor-

thy percentage of women are at the
table, policies become more family
friendly, companies see higher profits
for shareholders, and employees are
more satisfied with their jobs,” says Dr.
Marta McClintock-Comeaux, director
of the women’s studies program at Cal
U and a conference organizer.
“When women find their voices at
home, there is greater equity, greater
commitment, greater satisfaction for
families.”
The conference is open to public. A
link to online registration and the full
conference schedule is available on the
Cal U homepage, www.calu.edu .
Cost is $60 for members of the
PASSHE Women’s Consortium, $75
for non-members. The registration fee
includes dinner on Friday, plus a continental breakfast and lunch on Saturday.
Students with a valid ID pay $20 for
conference sessions plus meals; without
meals, they may attend the conference
at no charge.

California University of Pennsylvania
remains one of the best universities in the
northeastern United States, according to The
Princeton Review.
The nationally known education services
company selected Cal U as one of the 222
institutions it profiles in the Best in the
Northeast section of its “2013 Best Colleges:
Region By Region” listing at
www.PrincetonReview.com .
This is the eighth
consecutive year that
Cal U has been
recognized by The
Princeton Review.
Nationally, 633
colleges — about 25
percent of the country’s
2,500 four-year institutions — were named
as regional bests this year.
In its online profile of Cal U, The
Princeton Review notes the university’s
“long tradition of excellence” and its
“diverse array of major and minor programs
of study” in liberal arts, science and
technology and professional studies. Cal U
also earned top marks in the “Green”
category for “its performance as an
environmentally aware and responsible
institution.”
Students said Cal U’s “facilities are topnotch” and praised the “wonderful”
residence halls. “It’s in a small town so it
feels safe, but it’s only 45 minutes from the
airport and downtown Pittsburgh,” one
contributor said.
“I have seen and met so many people
from different backgrounds (and) all walks
of life, from freshmen right out of local high
schools, (to) students from Brazil, Canada
and Europe, to older, non-traditional
students pursuing a higher education,”
another student stated. “I think it is this
unique blend of people that makes Cal U
special.”
Colleges designated as “best” were
chosen primarily for their excellent academic
programs, according to Robert Franek, The
Princeton Review’s senior vice president and
publisher. Schools were selected based on
data collected at hundreds of institutions,
visits to schools, and the opinions of
independent and high-school-based college
advisers who are invited to share their
recommendations. Student comments also
play an important role in the rankings.
The 222 “Best Northeastern Colleges”
are located in Connecticut, Delaware,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and
the District of Columbia.

and success, civic engagement, career
services, internships, and mentoring.
Acting President Jones explained that
she was in their shoes as a Cal U
freshman more than 40 years ago.
“As you make the transition to your
new surroundings, please remember that
many people are standing by, ready to
help you get to know the campus and
begin to feel at home,” she said. “Even
more importantly, we will be here
throughout your college years to assist
you in achieving your personal and
academic goals.”

Move-In Day
Families seemed pleased with the
experience.
“The move-in process was very
organized,” said Laura Myers, who
accompanied her son, Sam, on the
journey from York, Pa. “There were so
many people willing to help that it made
the day very enjoyable. I was very
impressed.”
“The campus is so beautiful that it’s
hard not to get excited about moving in
your child,” added dad Will Myers.
“I’m just really stoked,” said freshman
Sam Myers. “I can’t wait to start my
courses and meet new people!”
The warm welcome helped to ease the
transition to college life for both parents
and students.
"I was filled with anxiety when we
first pulled onto campus. That ended after
awhile, because we just feel comfortable
here," said Nancy Holtz, a mom from
Hastings, Pa.
“I love the campus,” said her daughter
Laura, a sophomore transfer student.
“Everyone has been nice and helpful

throughout the day. I feel very
comfortable here already."
Later that evening, students gathered
in the Convocation Center for a skit by
the Good Life improv group and a panel
discussion featuring Dr. Lisa McBride, of
the Office for Social Equity; Jim Pflugh,
associate dean for student conduct; and
University Police chief Bob Downey.
New students were made aware of the
Student Code of Conduct and both
University and borough regulations that
could affect their future.
“Our role is to provide some
guidelines to help you think about how
your actions affect others,” Pflugh said.
“You have the right to safety and security,
but you also have a responsibility to
ensure the safety of those around you.”
Later in the evening, Playfair gave
students a chance to meet new people in
an entertaining way before the Emmy
Award-winning comedy duo of Yamil
Piedra and Johnny Trabanco — “A Pair
of Nuts” — brought the evening to a
hilarious close.
During orientation students attended
classes focusing on academic success,
D2L, time management, personal wellness

The weekend concluded with the
New Student Convocation and a
candlelight ceremony emphasizing Cal
U’s core values, and a free concert
featuring Tres Lads and Donora in the
Convocation Center courtyard. Earlier
three student bands performed in the
courtyard –Daeshawn “Lil D Da Prince”
Ballard, Seamus Hutchens, and Cameron
Chambers.

Students then gathered around the
fire-ringed Vulcan statue in the Quad.
“The Vulcan is a visual reminder of
our dedication to our University,” said
Student Government Association
President Alexandra Brooks. “I am
proud to be a Vulcan, and it is my
fondest wish that you feel the same
way.”
Acting President Jones emphasized
how important a role Cal U’s newest
students play in the University’s future.
“When I meet students like you, I
know that Cal U will continue to prosper
and move forward for many years to
come. Now you are a part of the Cal U
story.”
Transfer student Julianna Jurasek, a
history major, reflected on the weekend
after participating in the candlelight
ceremony.
“It was nice to get the freshmen and
transfer students together before the start
of the semester,” she said. “And Playfair
was awesome! I got to meet a ton of new
people. It just feels right.”

Geology Students Study Northwest Terrain
old weather and 6 inches of
snow didn’t dampen the spirits of
geology students participating in
a field study in the Northwestern United
States in May.
After driving to Wisconsin, 14
geology students and Dr. Kyle Fredrick,
an associate professor in the Department
of Earth Science, studied geological
features in South Dakota, Wyoming,
Idaho and Utah.
“This field work study allows our
students to understand the different
scales and skills required to work in the
field,” says Fredrick. “We also had
students at various levels, and that
allowed for peer mentoring to occur
naturally.
“For the younger students, this is a
real trial-by-fire for a career in geology.”
The first geological features that
students studied were glacial formations
at Devil’s Lake State Park in Baraboo,
Wis.
Then the group traveled to South
Dakota, where they stopped for a culture
experience at Mount Rushmore and
studied rock formations at Badlands
National Park.
Many of the students raved about
their time spent in South Dakota.
“The most memorable part of the
trip was jogging 7 miles to the top of
Harney Peak in the Black Hills National

Forest with Dr. Fredrick and a few other
students,” said Nick Patton, a senior
geology major.
“You could really feel the elevation
difference at 7,250 feet above sea level,
and the view was amazing.”
The group learned about lava flows
and volcanic craters in Idaho before

stopping at Yellowstone National Park
in Wyoming.
Plans originally called for camping in
the park, but a 6-inch snowfall and many
road closures forced the group to stay in
a hotel outside of Yellowstone.
“We ran into some snow and had to
stay in a hotel, but it offered us a better

perspective on the geological features in
that area,” Fredrick said. “Each day we
entered the park from a different
direction, and students were able to view
the dramatic land changes from one side
of the park to the other.”
After a brief stop at Grand Tetons
National Park in Wyoming, the group
arrived at its final destination, Dinosaur
National Monument in Utah.
Students participated in a mapping
exercise where they had to identify
geological features and interpret those
features on a map.
“Before this trip, I had no idea how
to map,” said Clarissa Enslin, a junior
geology major. “I learned how to take
strike and dip of rocks, and I broadened
my knowledge of geomorphology and
tectonics.”
Learning these types of skills is a
vital part of the field study, said senior
geology major Bryan Nicholson.
“In the field, it is no longer a
textbook drawing,” he said. “It is
tangible, and you realize you are seeing
it, standing on it, and you know why it
is there and how it can be altered in the
future.
“We are given a chance to more aptly
apply what we learned in the classroom
to real-life scenarios. In doing so, we can
walk away with an even greater respect
for the science.”

Champions Speak
to Young Runners
hile the 2012 Olympic Games played
out in London earlier this month,
two champion distance runners
visited the annual Cal U cross country summer
camp, where they shared advice and reminisced
about their careers.
Two-time Olympian Amy Rudolph and
former American record holder Chris Solinsky
addressed nearly 200 people — mostly eager
young runners — in Old Main Chapel.
Rudolph, a native of Ridgway Pa.,
competed in the 5,000-meter run at both the
1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics. A six-time
U.S. champion and a former American record
holder in the 5,000 meters, she captured eight
state championships. She also was an NCAA
national champion at Providence University.
Solinsky set a new American record in the
10,000-meter run in 2010, becoming the first
runner from outside Africa to break the 27minute barrier in that event. A five-time NCAA
national title winner during his time at the
University of Wisconsin, he was ranked third in
the world in 2010.
Rudolph, who competed in her first 50-yard
dash at age 6, told the aspiring runners to use
“three P’s” — plan, prepare and peak — as their
route to success.
“You set your goals, you train, and the peak
is when it has all come together for you,” she
said. “When you go to the starting line, it’s like
you’re ready to party and just let it rip.
“You have to ask yourself what you are
doing to help yourself. Every hour of every day
is accountable. Even my daily nap is part of my
preparation.”
Rudolph, now 38, was the 2006 U.S.
champion in the 10,000-meter outdoor run and a
two-time 3,000-meter indoor champion. Years
later, she still becomes emotional when looking
back on her Olympic experiences.

“It’s really hard to put it into words,” she
said. “When you put that U.S. uniform on and
go out to the stadium — it still gives me chills
just thinking about it. It’s an awesome and proud
experience.”
Solinsky recalled joining the powerhouse
cross country team at Stevens Point High School
in Wisconsin. His passion was soccer, he told the
young athletes, until a senior, one of the state’s
top runners, approached him.
“He told me how glad he was that I was part
of this team,” Solinsky remembered. “From that
point on, my work ethic changed and I came in
every day ready to give everything.
“You juniors and seniors out there need to
do that for your younger teammates.”
Solinsky missed making the 2008 Olympics
by just two seconds, and a severe hamstring
injury prevented him from competing in this
summer’s Olympic Games in London. But he
plans to compete in next year’s world
championships in Moscow.
“While it’s very hard not to be there (in
London), it hasn’t dampened my spirits,” he
said. “I will be watching the events very closely,
and I’m happy for the other guys and girls who
are there running for our country. ”
Among those in the audience was Noah
Huffman of Dilltown, Pa., a rising sophomore
and cross country runner at Bishop McCort
High School. He said he enjoyed both the talk
and the sports camp directed Dan Caulfield, Cal
U’s seventh-year head coach for men’s and
women’s cross country.
“This is great stuff,” Huffman said. “To
listen and be able to ask questions of these two
runners is unbelievable.
“I’ve learned so much at this camp,
especially about nutrition, the mental aspect (of
running) and not letting outside influences
interfere with your performance.”
