Trustees Recommend
‘Interim’ Title for President
t its first quarterly meeting of
2013, the University’s Council
of Trustees unanimously passed
a resolution recommending that Acting
President Geraldine M. Jones be named
interim president of California
University.
The recommendation will be
forwarded to the Chancellor and the
PASSHE Board of Governors.
“In speaking with a number of
constituents, there was an overwhelming
amount of support for this action,” said
Lawrence Maggi, the council’s vice
chair, who presided over the March 6
meeting.
Several of the Trustees praised
Jones’ work as acting president over the
past 10 months, and they noted her
nearly 40 years of service to Cal U.
“I think she’s done an excellent job.
She has provided needed stability during
a difficult period of transition,” said
Trustee James Davis.
President Jones, in turn, had good
news for students: While updating the
Trustees on Cal U’s primary objectives,
she announced that no increase in room
and board rates is planned for the 20132014 academic year.
Room rates, which are set by the
Student Association Inc., also held
steady in 2012-2013. But this is the first
time in at least 20 years that the cost of
meal plans has not gone up, Cal U
officials said.
“This is part of our continuing effort
to keep fees as low as possible for our
students,” President Jones said.
Her presentation also included an
update on the University’s continuing
efforts to whittle its deficit, which stood
at nearly $12 million a year ago. Since

The Council of Trustees’ resolution
recommending that Acting
President Geraldine M. Jones be
named interim president of
California University will be
forwarded to the Chancellor and
the PASSHE Board of Governors.
President Jones assumed leadership of
Cal U, the deficit has been reduced to
$2.5 million — “and it is our goal to
eliminate this deficit and balance our
budget,” she said.
After thanking the Trustees for their
support, President Jones concluded her
report by praising Cal U’s faculty and
staff.
“I value each of them as human
beings and as an important part of the
University community,” she said.
“Together we ensure the continued
growth of this great University, and we

work together every day to provide the
best possible education of our students.”
In other business:
• The Trustees’ nominating
committee recommended that Maggi
serve as the council’s next president,
with Annette Ganassi as vice chair and
student Trustee Michael Crosen as
secretary. The Trustees will vote on the
slate of officers at their next meeting.
• Robert Thorn, vice president of
Administration and Finance, received
unanimous approval from the Trustees
for a five-year, $80 million capital
project plan. All four projects on the
plan have been approved by the State
System, he said.
The first project is a renovation of
Coover Hall, slated to begin in 2014.
The former Industrial Arts building,
constructed in 1938, houses the
Department of Applied Engineering.
“This antiquated structure requires
long overdue instructional and structural
life-cycle renovation,” Thorn said.
Other long-term capital projects
include construction of a new science
building to replace the aging Frich and
New Science halls, a renovation of
Morgan Hall, and a renovation and
expansion of Keystone Hall.
None of the capital projects would
add to the University’s debt, Thorne
emphasized. State funds have been
allocated for the work, and only the
science building would require
“matching” funds raised through private
donations to the University.
• Dr. Bruce Barnhart, acting provost,
reported that enrollment has exceeded
projections for the spring semester.

Asked to
Complete
Survey
he Office of Continuous
Improvement will be
administering the Faculty
Survey of Student Engagement
(FSSE) this spring.
Coordinated by the National
Survey of Student Engagement
(NSSE) at Indiana UniversityBloomington, FSSE is designed to
measure faculty expectations of
student engagement in educational
practices that are empirically linked
with high levels of learning and
development.
The survey also collects
information about how faculty
members spend their time on
professorial activities and the kinds
of learning experiences their
institutions emphasize.
FSSE results can be used to
identify areas of institutional
strength, as well as aspects of the
undergraduate experience that may
warrant attention. The information
is intended to be a catalyst for
productive discussions related to
teaching, learning and the quality
of students’ educational
experiences.
The survey will be administered
by the Indiana University Center
for Postsecondary Research at
Indiana University-Bloomington
(IUB). It parallels the NSSE student
survey that is also being
administered this spring.
Through IUB, all full-time and
part-time faculty will be invited to
participate. The survey should be
completed online. Administration
will be overseen by Cal U’s Office
of Continuous Improvement.
Acting President Geraldine M.
Jones has authorized this survey at
Cal U.
“I encourage all faculty
members to participate,” she said.
“The results will allow us to assess
and improve the quality of our
academic offerings, while at the
same time letting us see how we
stack up against comparable
universities across America.”
All responses are anonymous;
survey administration will conclude
in mid-May. The data will be
analyzed by IUB, and the 2013
reports will be sent to participating
universities, including Cal U, in
August.
Resources intended to help with
the use and interpretations of FSSE
data are available online at
www.fsse.iub.edu. Past FSSE and
NSSE results are posted on the Cal
U Web site in the Continuous
Improvement area, cwis.calu.edu.
Comparing NSSE and FSSE
results yields information from both
the students’ and faculty’s
perspective. The Faculty
Professional Development
Committee utilizes the information
for continuous improvement.
For more information about the
FSSE survey, contact Bruce Barnhart,
acting provost and vice president for
Academic Affairs, at 724-938-1673.

Talks Mark Women’s History Month
al U’s Office of Women’s Studies
continues its celebration of
Women’s History Month with
three events designed to engage the
audience in open dialogue. Co-sponsored
by the Activist Club, all of these events
will take place in Duda Hall, Room 210,
beginning at 11 a.m.
• Tuesday, a panel discussion of
“Sports, Leadership and Women” will
examine gender roles, issues of
equality/inequality in sports, Title IX, and
empowerment and leadership of women
in sports. The panel will use a montage of
movie clips from popular movies dealing
with women and sports, such as “A
League of their Own” and “Million
Dollar Baby.”
Among the panelists are faculty
members Dr. Carol Biddington, of the
Department of Exercise Science and
Sport Studies, and Beverly Ross, of the
Department of Justice, Law and Society.
A question-and-answer session will
conclude the discussion.
• Thursday, a discussion will focus on
“Being Empowered in Your Own Health:
Discussing HPV, Cervical Cancer
Prevention, and Other Important Health
Topics.” Cal U Student Government
President Alexandra Brooks and Suzanne
Palko, associate professor in the
Department of Nursing, will explain how
women can be advocates for their health.
Palko will discuss the medical
importance of Pap tests, early screenings
for cervical cancer. Brooks will share a
personal experience dealing with some of
these issues and how she was empowered
to educate others.

C

As part of Cal U’s celebration of Women’s History Month, Student Government President
Alexandra Brooks will participate in a discussion about how women can be advocates for
their own good health. The event is Thursday in Room 210 of Duda Hall.

• April 2, a variety of workshops are
planned as the Activist Club presents
“Activists in Action: Empowering and
Advocating for Yourself and Others.”
Club members will discuss activism,
especially in regard to issues affecting
women. The Office of Career Services
will talk about advocating for future
careers and empowering yourself by
developing job-search and interview skills.
And Options @ Cal U will empower
people to look beyond labels and
stereotypes.
“All of these events have been
carefully planned to help women become
more aware of important issues that
directly affect them,” said Brooks, a

graduating senior. “It’s a great
opportunity to learn, participate, and
share experiences.”
The month-long celebration of women
and their accomplishments originated as
Women’s History Week in 1982. In 1987,
after being petitioned by the National
Women’s History Project, Congress
designated the month of March as
Women’s History Month.
The celebration has continued each
year by proclamation of the U.S.
president.
For more information on Women’s History
Month, contact Dr. Marta McClintockComeaux, director of Women’s Studies, at 724938-5246, or e-mail mcclintock@calu.edu.

percent lower than at this time last year, administrators had
anticipated a steeper decline.
The higher-than-expected enrollment had a positive effect on
budget projections, Barnhart pointed out. He cited improved
retention efforts, a more friendly transfer policy, and efforts by
the admissions and marketing areas to attract new students.
“I believe our students and prospective students are very
excited by the changes we’ve made. It’s been a team effort,” he
said.
• Reports from each of the University’s vice presidents
pointed out success stories in their respective areas:

Dr. Nancy Pinardi, interim vice president for Student Affairs,
focused on the multicultural student center.
Craig Butzine, vice president for Marketing and University
Relations, highlighted the collaborative nature of his
department’s work.
Reporting to Trustees for the first time in her new role,
Jessica Urbanik, interim vice president for University
Development and Cal U for Life, reported on the progress of the
capital campaign.
Dr. Charles Mance, vice president for University Technology
Services, mentioned a new password reset utility and progress in
making the Help Desk more responsive to customers’ needs.
The Trustees are scheduled to meet again on June 5.

Graduation is Goal for ‘Women United’
al U girls rock!” That was
the message delivered
March 12 at the inaugural
meeting of Cal U Women United, a
mentoring organization created to
support young women of color on
campus.
The organization began with a
“courageous conversation” about
diversity and the Cal U campus culture,
said Dr. Lisa McBride, who leads the
Office of Social Equity.
Those talks with students, faculty and
staff led to the formation of Cal U Men
United in 2010, “and now it’s time to do
the same for our women,” she said.
Cal U Women United has been
organized by Darla Holley-Holmes, a
minister and staff member in the
Department of Modern Languages and
Cultures; Andrea Cencich, an instructor
in that department; and Alisha Carter, of
the Office of Social Equity.
An advisory board of faculty and
staff members will provide mentoring
and guidance. In all, 60 people —

“I believe that women in
general, but particularly
women of color, must continue
lighting the way for one
another, celebrating one
another and conveying positive
messages of encouragement to
one another.”
— Dr. Lisa McBride
including 35 students — attended the
kick-off event.
“It is essential for our female students
of color to meet individuals who can
assist them with their goal of
graduation,” McBride said.
“For them, being able to identify a
familiar face provides the type of college
environment they so desperately seek in
their pursuit of becoming women of
character, women of honor and women
of outstanding achievement.”
The inaugural meeting featured a
welcome by Acting President Geraldine

M. Jones, who spoke to the students
about Jennie Carter, California’s first
African-American graduate. Carter was
one of the school’s few AfricanAmerican students when she completed
her studies in 1881, just 20 years after the
start of the Civil War.
“She blazed a path, and now the
mantle has been passed to you,” Jones
said. “Look around at the women in this
room. We all want to see you graduate
and excel.”
Keynote speaker Demeatria GibsonBoccella, founder of
FashionAFRICANA and the Utopia
Model Agency, described her efforts to
broaden portrayals of black beauty and
fashion on the fashion runway and in the
arts.
Her talk, illustrated with a video of
African-inspired fashions, sparked
conversations about self-image and how
beauty is viewed in American culture.
“Beauty is not only on the surface, but
deep within each of you,” she told the
young women.

Cal U Women United plans three
more events this semester. All students
may attend these events in Duda Hall,
Room 103:
• A seminar on healthy romantic
relationships led by Holley-Holmes at 11
a.m. tomorrow.
• A talk by the Hon. Reggie Walton,
a Donora, Pa., native and a federal
judge, at 10 a.m. April 1, in conjunction
with Cal U Men United.
• A wellness seminar and discussion
of healthy lifestyle choices led by Dr.
Taunya Tinsley, of the Department of
Counselor Education, at 11 a.m. April 2.
“I believe that women in general, but
particularly women of color, must
continue lighting the way for one
another, celebrating one another and
conveying positive messages of
encouragement to one another,”
McBride said.
