He also owns a fumble recovery and a blocked extra point. Joining Perkins at linebacker will be Michael Edwards, second on the squad with 62 stops. Brian Lambert (31) and Rahshahn Alston (34) split duties at the weak side linebacker position. Up front, last week's PSAC honor roll choice Pat Schuster leads the charge.

The Offenses At PNC Bank, the most important measure of our performance is how we perform for you. Just ask one of our customers. PNCBANK Where Performance Cmnts 1 The Scots have turned their attention back to 1992 PSAC West Player of the Year Larry Jackson. The jxmior tailback has carried the ball 51 times for 366 yards in the last two games. For the year, Jackson stands sixth best in the PSAC, averaging 100.4 yards per game and totals 502 yards on 83 carries. His 6.1 yards per attempt is best among the 14 conference schools. He has rushed for four scores. Fullback Tom Tedder (25, 87,4 TDs) clears the way and owns four touchdowns. Chris Snyder (12, 37,1 TD) spells Tedder. Quarterback Jody Dickerson will get his 29th consecutive start today. Starting since he was a freshman, Dickerson boasts an impressive 20-7-1 slate as the Boro's general. The PSAC's third-rated passer, he has connected on 66 of 130 passes for 1,092 yards, ten scores and six interceptions. A host of quality receivers include Marcus Griffin (18, 259, 2 TDs), Scott Mikowicz (16, 274, 1), David Ashton (13, 193, 1) and Lateef Walters (6, 154, 1, 25.7 YPC). Eight Scot receivers own touchdowns in 1993. Clearing the way continue to be All-American tackle Mike Kegarise and mate Tony Tighe, guards Jeremy O'Day and Det Betti and center Gordie Hitchcock. Special Teams/Kicking Game The Boro looks to PSAC leader Gary Lhotsky (40 YPP) to handle the punting chores while Scott Rupert (24-25 PATs; 3-7 FGs) is the place-kicker. Damien Kozel (33.9 YPP, 15-17 PATs, 3-7 FGs) owns both jobs for the Vuls. The Scots feature punt returner Marcus Griffin (6.8 YPR) and Steve Russell (21.7 YPR) handles kickoff returns while Cal coun­ ters with Ken Cahoon (8.0, 19.8) to bring back both punts and kickoffs. Standing with a +6 (22 takeaways, 16 turnovers), the Scots rank fifth best among the fourteen conference schools, while Cal­ ifornia is at -2 (seventh in the PSAC).

Foster F. Diebold Go Fighting Scots! Alumni Association / 6 Now in his fourteenth year as president of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Foster R Diebold is the fourteenth chief executive officer of the institution of higher learning that has come to acclaim in the last decade as one of Pennsylvania's and the nation's finest. He has brought a vigorous educational and moral lead­ ership, a strengthening of the spirit of community, a clear sense of direction and purpose, and a dimension of multicultural pluralism and diversity. Much has been accomplished during President Diebold's tenure. The University has returned to finan­ cial health. Significant facilities and grounds improvements have been achieved, with several of the historic structures on campus restored to their original splendor. Academic programs have been emphasized and improved, with more than 100 degree offerings now available. Enrollment gains have been unprecedented in both numbers and academic quality. International linkages have been established with institutions in sever­ al other countries, and Edinboro Uni­ versity's program for students with disabilities continues to garner acclaim as one of the finest among all colleges and universities in the Unit­ ed States. Widely recognized as a leader in education both here and abroad. President Diebold has posi­ Prior to his presidency of Edin­ boro University, President Diebold was president of the University of Alaska from 1977 to 1979. Before that, he was executive secretary to the Board of Regents and special assis­ tant to the president of the University of Alaska Statewide System. From 1969 to 1976, he was director of Development and Planning at Kean College in New Jersey and a member of the graduate faculty at that institu­ tion; and from 1965 to 1969, he was assistant superintendent of the Nep­ tune Township (New Jersey) Public Schools. Recognized for his extensive experience in the field of education management. President Diebold's scholarly achievements in the disci­ pline of applied ethics in higher edu­ cation deserve special mention. The model statement he authored for the American Association of State Col­ leges and Universities, "Ethical Prac­ tices for College Presidents," was unanimously adopted by that profes­ sional organization and published as policy for the chief executives of its nearly 400 member institutions nationwide. It is the first formally adopted ethical practices and policy statement for higher education presi­ dents. For his leadership on an interna­ tional scale and for his many contri­ butions to the advancement of higher education and enrichment of an 7 emerging culture in Pakistan, Presi­ dent Diebold was decorated with prestigious gold medals from three Pakistani imiversities. The awards for educational eminence were presented during visits to the Edinboro campus by official Pakistani delegations. President Diebold was also hon­ ored by the Government of Pakistan with the awarding of the degree of Doctor of Laws (honoris causa), pre­ sented at the Government House in the City of Karachi. The ceremony was attended by the presidents of the several Pakistani universities holding linkage agreements with Edinboro University, as well as many highranking officials of the Government of Pakistan and U.S. diplomatic offi­ cials. A recently bestowed honor was President Diebold's appointment to the National Committee on U.S.China Relations, the leading national, non-partisan, public affairs organiza­ tion devoted to building constructive and durable relationships between the two countries. The appointment recognized his insight into the Chi­ nese people and his experience with the academic linkage agreement he established with Zibo College in Chi­ na's Shandong Province. Students and scholars have been at Edinboro University under terms of the formal linkage agreement since the 1986-87 academic year. A staunch advocate of a statewide system of public universi­ ties ill, Pennsylvania, President Diebold supported the enabling legis­ lation for the State System of Higher Education (Act 188 of 1982) and saw the State System come to existence in 1983 as a member of the transition team. He currently serves on the Sys­ tem s Executive Council of Presidents and on the boards of the Pennsylva­ nia Academy for the Profession of Teaching, the Pennsylvania State Ath­ letic Conference, and the Dixon Uni­ versity Center at Harrisburg. Athletic Director James K. McDonald Edinboro University's athletic program was placed under the talent­ ed and aggressive leadership of Jim McDonald in July of 1981. Increased emphasis on fund raising to provide a sound scholarship foundation has become his top priority while numer­ ous changes and innovations have also keyed the Scots' athletic program imder his direction. Thank you, Edinboro University Walker Bros. Buick-'Chevrolet has been in the automobile business in Edinboro since 1916 making us one of the oldest dealers in the country. However, we are mere youngsters compared to Edinboro University. Thru the decades our families have watched the school grow and mature into today's University. Not by accident, we have seen the town of Edin^ boro grow and mature at the same time, with much of that growth being former Edinboro students who stayed and made homes here after graduating. For this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University." Edinboro University offers much more to the region than a fine education at a rea^ sonable price. Almost daily there is either a cultural or athletic event right here in our own backyard providing great entertainment. Besides the entertainment, many of use the physical facilities of the University. For this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University." Finally, for those of us in business in the Edinboro area, the University provides a great economic benefit. Local patronage from University employees, students and all the spinoff employment created by the University is what makes us able to be a major sponsor of Edinboro athletics and today's game. For all this we say, "thank you, Edinboro University." Through his efforts more than $5 million has been raised during the past twelve years. The funds generat­ ed by the energetic athletic director's efforts will be used to assist Edinboro's men and women athletes who compete in the Scots sixteen intercol­ legiate sports. In addition to maintaining Edinboro's respected winning tradition in intercollegiate athletics, the former health and physical education profes­ sor has vastly expanded the Universi­ ty's summer activities. Sixty camps were sponsored by the Fighting Scots Booster Club this past summer on the University's campus. Sox Harrison Stadium was the site for the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers first scrimmage, an event the veteran athletic director hopes to bring back to the area each year. The personable athletic director also introduced Edinboro's Hall of Fame program which has evolved into an annual year-ending event to honor present and past athletes. trict 18 titles that netted trips to the NAIA National Tournament. His teams set 27 University records and made 19 post-season appearances while four of his players were named All-Americans. Prior to accepting his position at Edinboro, McDonald served as assis­ tant basketball coach in Erie, Pa. He is a 1956 graduate of Bridgeport High School in his home town of Bridge­ port, West Virginia. In 1960 he received a degree in chemistry and physical education from West Virginia Wesleyan College and he also holds a master's degree in health from the University of Buffalo. As an undergraduate, he set nine school records at Wesleyan and was twice voted both AP and UPI basket­ ball All-American. In 1960, he was the second leading scorer in the Unit­ ed States, averaging slightly over 33 points a game, and led his team to the national basketball tournament in Kansas City, Missouri. He was named to the NAIA's All-Toumament Team in 1959 and 1960. In 1966, McDonald was selected Area Eight Coach of the Year by the eastern seaboard coaches and that same year was honored as one of the top ten finalists in the Coach of the Year national poll. McDonald's hon­ ors also include selection to the West Virginia All-Time College Basketball Team and membership in the West Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. Sincerely, Richard H. Walker Richard A. Walker Craig D. Walker Randy J. Walker and all of our employees 8 McDonald has been at Edinboro since 1962 and for 12 years served as the Fighting Scot basketball coach (1962-1975) and never experienced a losing season while his teams compiled an impressive 181 wins against only 89 losses. During that span, his cagers won four Western Division Permsylvania Conference crowns, the PC state championship and two Dis- Jim McDonald As a resident of Edinboro, McDonald has a record of extensive community involvement.

Hav­ ing made the NCAA II playoffs three of the past five years imder head coach Tom Hollman, the Edinboro University Fight­ ing Scots have established themselves as one of the nation's top small college pro­ grams. Now may be the time to take the "other step." A playoff quarter finalist in 1990, the Scots' elite eight finish was the pinnacle of the program. But that small taste of post-season success has left the Boro anx­ ious for more. If expectations and 1993 pre-season polls are any indication, this fall may be the year of the Scots. Picked as high as #2 by Football Digest and #9 by Host Communications (NCAA), Edin­ boro has opened the eyes of pollsters with their recent success. But the Boro's pre-season marks will make the opposi­ tion even more determined, thus creating a great challenge for the 1993 Fighting Scots. Coming off their best regular season mark in 21 years, 8-1-1, the Scots, imder Hollman, have won 37 of 55 (37-16-2) games including a sparkling 22-6-1 record in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Confer­ ence Western Division. When looking ahead to 1993, the schedule is what con­ cerns the sixth-year mentor the most. "The conference is the conference. There are six tough opponents, any one of which can beat you," Hollman said. "Plus this year, we've added Ferris State (MI) and Elizabeth City (NC) while Buffalo (Division I-AA) and Millersville remain from last year. There will be no easy ones, that's for sure." With ten games slated for '93, five home and five away, the challenge of the "road test" will determine the Scots' play­ off chances. Under Hollman, the Scots boast a 23-3-1 (.870) mark at Sox Harrison Stadium but counter with a 14-13-1 (.518) record on the road. 159 markers and two touchdowns. His 3,217 career passing yards rank him fifth all time on the Edinboro passing list. With the graduation of receivers Brian Heebsh, Paul Stone and Wrentie Martin, David Ashton (17 receptions, 210 yards, 2 touch­ downs) is the Scots' top returning pass catcher. In the backfield, PSAC West player of the year and All-American Larry Jackson returns. The junior topped the PSAC in rushing yards last year with 1,218 while his 17 rushing scores and 19 overall touchdowns were also tops in the confer­ ence. Jackson's touchdowns on the ground were the fourth best ever in con­ ference history. Chris Snyder (30-128-2) is the returning front-runner for the fullback spot along with Tom Tedder (17-68) who is looking to return following knee surgery. Offensive Line All-American Mike Kegarise is one of the best in the country at his tackle position. At 6-7, 300 pounds, Kegarise leads an offensive front which includes tackle Tony Tighe, center Gordie Hitch­ cock and guard Chadd Wallick. The grad­ uation of All-American Scott Nickel and tight end Heebsh leaves some holes to fill. Defensive Line A BREAKDOWN OF PERSONNEL: The Scots return three quarters of their four-man front including 1993 pre­ season All-American tackle Russell Cray (72 tackles, 9 sacks). End Devas Simmons (62 stops, 8 for loss, team high 5 forced fumbles) is also back along with tackle Rob Harmer (48 tackles). Also expected to help along the defensive line will be returnee Otha Davidson (2 sacks, 4 tackles for loss) and Scot heavyweight wrestler Pat Schuster. The graduation of All-American Anthony Ross spells a void for the Scots but David­ son and Schuster are both able replace­ ments. Skill Positions Linebackers With returning starter Jody Dickerson at quarterback, the Scots will be solid under center. Having guided Edinboro to 15 wins in 22 games (15-6-1) since his freshman year, Dickerson is on pace to break every standard in the Edinboro record books. Last year, he tossed for 1,855 yards and 12 scores and rushed for The trio of All-American Jason Perkins, Michael Sims and Mike Edwards return to the second line of defense. Perkins, a pre-season first-team choice by Host Communications and The Sporting News, is back to round out a brilliant career. Currently seventh on the school's 11 10 all-time hit list with 341 tackles, a year similar to 1992 (135 tackles, 19 for loss) will propel Perkins to second on the career tackle charts. His 30 tackles for loss, not including quarterback sacks, is the most in Edinboro history. Sims had a banner season for a first year player in 1992, finishing fourth on the team with 84 tackles. His ten pass deflections tied for the team high. Edwards was close behind with 70 stops, including four for loss. His three forced fumbles was third best on the squad. Brian Lambert, a reserve last season (12 tackles) is greatly improved and will bat­ tle for a starting spot. Secondary If the Boro has major holes to fill, it is in the defensive backfield. Gone are AllAmericans Michael Barnes and Georj Lewis. The pair combined to start 85 con­ secutive contests with cornerback Lewis penciled in for every one during his 45game career. Returning are defensive back Mario Houston and safety Steve Russell. Hous­ ton had 50 stops, one interception and tied for the team lead with ten pass deflections in '92. Over his career, which began with All-PSAC West Rookie of the Year honors in 1990, Houston has been in on 188 stops, with seven interceptions and 38 deflections. His pass breakup total is second best on the all-time Boro list. Russell has been solid since his freshman campaign, tying for the team lead in interceptions each of his first two seasons. His seven career thefts project him to be Edinboro's all-time leader (13) at career's end. One of his five interceptions last sea­ son was returned 85 yards for a score. Specialties The return of All-American punter Gary Lhotsky adds to an already solid defense. A first-team All-PSAC West choice in 1992, Lhotsky led the conference in yards per punt averaging 40.1. His 133 punts over the past three years have aver­ aged 37.7 ypp. Lhotsky's career best cov­ ered 65 yards against Shippensburg last season. The Scot kicking game is a question mark as Scott Rupert (3-7 field goals and 21 of 27 PATs) tries to recover from a knee injury suffered as a member of the base­ ball team last spring. Go Team!

Hollman came to Edinboro from Ohio Univer­ sity, where he was the defensive coor­ dinator. with 13 career interceptions and earned All-American and AU-District honors during the 1966 and 1967 sea­ sons. Hollman also lettered in base­ ball for three years during his stay at Ohio Northern. Hollman, beginning his sixth year, has the Scot program back in the national spotlight. At Edinboro, he has earned 37 wins against just 16 losses and two ties and owns an impressive 22-6-2 slate against the PSAC Western Division. The Scots have advanced to post-season play three of the past five years. A chronological look at Holl­ man's coaching career begins in 1968 as an assistant coach at Sidney High School in Sidney, Ohio. From there, Hollman moved on to Greenville High School in Ohio where he became head coach from 1971-73. His Greenville squads posted an impres­ sive 26-2-2 mark during hTs threeyear stay. ;• In 1989, he was named the top coach in the East Region by the National Football Coaches Associa­ tion and also tabbed the top coach in the PSAC West. In 1990, he guided the Scots to their first-ever NCAA II playoff win as Edinboro routed Vir­ ginia Union and advanced to the national quarterfinals. "Edinboro has been a great expe­ rience, and I like the direction of the program," Hollman said. "As a coach, I have been fortu­ nate to coach at many different levels, from high school to Division I. The Division II level here at Edinboro is very appealing to me in relation to my career goals. It is a great feeling to be a head coach at this level." Hollman's educational back­ ground begins with a high school diploma from Memorial High School in St. Mary's, Ohio, followed by his undergraduate degree in education from Ohio Northern University in 1968. Three years later Hollman received his master of science degree in education from Xavier. University in Cincinnati, Ohio. While at Ohio Northern, Holl­ man was a three-year starter for the football team and a two-year per­ former as a defensive back and offen­ sive end during his junior and senior years. He holds the school record 14 USUALLY SEEN BEFORE OR AFTER FIGHTING SCOTS FOOTBALL GAMES! Hollman then move/i on to Fre­ mont Ross High School as head coach for the 1974 and 1975 seasons, where his squad recorded 15 wins against three setbacks and two ties.

When the Fighting Scot football team entered the 1993 sea­ son, Edinboro secondary coach Scott Browning knew that there were going to be some questions as to the strength of his defen­ sive backs. Gone to graduation were cornerback Georj Lewis and free safety Mike Barnes, a pair of All-Americans who had com­ bined for 85 starts, 15 interceptions and 455 tackles over their illustrious careers. However, halfway through the 1993 season, the answer to the looming questions about Browning's new squad is simple. These guys are tough. Tom Tedder, Sr., FB, 6-0, 220, Pittsburgh, PA, Baldwin . . . starter for most of last season until injury . . . has seen action in all 27 games for which he has dressed since his freshman year . .. netted 71 yards on 25 carries and two scores last year . .. great blocker . . . considered one of the toughest fullbacks in PSAC West... lost just 15 yards in 104 carries in three-year career ... totals 436 yards and four scores in career. ability to create big plays. In addition to their outstanding play at the corners, Houston and Williams have been special teams demons this season. In a game against Elizabeth City State Uni­ versity (North Carolina), Rio amazingly blocked three extra points and tackled punter James Gonzo at his own one-yard line, a performance that Steve Tasker himself would have been proud to witness. Not to be outdone, Williams has already nm back a blocked extra point for a two-point conversion and blocked a pimt that Houston recovered in the end zone for a touchdown. The two also teamed up on the first play from scrimmage at ECSU when Williams laid a hit on running back Aaron Murchinson that may have had Sports Illustrated asking if Marty Williams was too dangerous for college football. Williams' crushing blow forced a fumble which was promptly scooped up by Houston on the ECSU nine-yard line. "Going into this season, 1 think we were really concerned," said Browning. "Any time you go into the season with a couple of first year guys, of course you're going to be a little concerned. The fact is, though, we have received a great deal of help from our veterans and they have played as big a part as anyone in bringing this secondary together." Tony Tighe, Sr., OL, 6-7, 303, Toronto, ONT, Victoria Park . . . started on both sides of the ball in his Boro career ... starts for second consecu­ tive year at offensive tackle . . . big with great feet and drive blocking abilities . . . helped Boro lead the conference in rushing last year . . . potential All-American ... can play DT in goal line situations./' Russell has made his presence known in the defensive backfield with a team leading three interceptions, all of which have ended opponents drives in Edinboro territory. In only two starts. Walker has one interception, one forced fumble and one recovery. All in all, the Boro secondary has picked and licked opponents for nine interceptions and three forced fumbles in 1993, while yielding only 195.6 yards through the air to opposing quarter­ backs (third in PSAC West). Rick Walker, So., DB, 6-2,176, Homestead, PA, Steel ValJ'ey . . . pro­ jected as a starter in Scot secondary in 1993 . . . started twb games last year as a freshman . .. made four tackles and broke up a pass in initial season . . . will look to fill the shoes of graduated All-American Mike Barnes at safety. Tony Tighe Browning claims that these statistics reflect the hard work ethic that is practiced among his feared unit. "All that those stats show you is that you've got four kids out there just playing their butts off on every play. They're playing hard and Ihey're doing what they're asked to do and when you do that, eventually big plays are going to happen for you." Rick Walker Chadd Wallick, Jr., OL, 6-3, 260, Dover, OH, Dover . . . started half of last season at guard spot... projected starter at guard again this season . .. provided solid depth for offensive line that paved the way for 1992 PSAC West player of the year.

Mario Houston • j ( | After an opening game loss to Ferris State, the Boro has finally regained attention nationally and regionally in the latest polls. And as the competition gets a little stiffer down the stretch, there is only one question left for Browning to answer. Will the secondary be ready to elevate their status from boys to men? Steve Russell One of the veterans to which Browning is referring to is cor­ nerback Mario Houston, a four-year starter and former PSAC Western Division Rookie of the Year. Browning, who has coached "There's no question," says the confident coach. "We've got four All-Americans during his tenure with the Scots, speaks rather highly of Houston. "Rio loves to practice and loves to play ^ four competitive kids here and they're going to step up. These four play with their heads as well as their bodies. The bigger the the game of football like no one I've ever seen. He is probably the challenge the more prepared they are." fiercest competitor I've ever had the opportunity to be around." Browning has found another great leader in junior strong safety Steve Russell, who in just two and a half years as a starter is only three interceptions away from tying Edinboro's all-time career individual mark of thirteen. "Stevie is one of the most focused guys on our squad. He is very goal-oriented and takes a lot of pride in what he does. He is the type who wants to be a leader, a front-ruimer, and he's not afraid to take that responsibil­ ity." The younger guys who have made a sudden impact are a pair of sophomores, cornerback Marty Williams and free safety Rick Walker. "Williams and Walker are a couple of guys who have been with us a year and they know what playing our type of defense is all about," Browning remarked. "They've prepared themselves both mentally and physically and have been anxious to step in and take on the challenge." Rick Walker What has made these four athletes so exceptionally exciting through six games is the way they work together and their 32 33 Marty Williams Dave Hallman BLOOMSBORG CALIFORNIA CHEYNEY CLARION EAST STROCDSBCRG EDINBOR^"^NDIAnT _KCJTZTOWN LOCK HAVEN MANSFIELD MILLERSVILLE SHIPPENSBGRG SLIPPERY ROCK WEST CHESTER Sells More FORD Cars and Trucks Because He Makes Better Deals ...

Over the past two years, 45 different student-athletes have earned semester grade point averages of 3.0 or better while eleven current Fighting Scots have cumulative point averages above the mark. Twenty-one football players made up over 25% of the 79 student-athletes and support personnel that were honored last spring for their academic and athletic success. The Scots boasted a pair of academic All-Americans last season as graduating seniors Sean Seibert and Brian Heebsh were recognized as National Scholar-Ath­ letes by the College Football Preview magazine. Seibert earned his political sci­ ence degree in just seven semesters and finished his academic career with a per­ fect 4.0 QPA last fall. Seibert's farn^ on the field can be measured in leading the Plaid to their only NCAA II playoff win in 1990. Heebsh was named second team All-PSAC West last year for his efforts on the field. Two other Scots deserving special recognition are All-Americans Georj Lewis and Mike Barnes. Combining to start 85 games in the Edinboro defensive backfield during their careers the two­ some were also nominated for the NCAA Minority Post-Graduate Scholarship this past winter by the University. Over the last four years, Lewis started every game for the Boro and graduated in business administration with better than a 3.0 cumulative grade average. 12 0 H A A A H A 1 0 _0 36 EUP 9 34 28 28 52 34 185 Ferris State University Elizabeth City St. Univ.

While 86% of students are from Pennsylvania, they repre­ sent many other states and for­ eign coimtries. The total university campus has over 4,000 acres in 19 Peimsylvania counties. Buildings for class­ rooms, residences, administration and student sup­ port number 719. / I I The state universities spent the first 100 years of existence train­ ing teachers for Pennsylvania s schools. The Normal School Act of 1857 established regional teacher training institutions throughout the Commonwealth. The School Code of 1911 called for the state purchase of all nor­ mal schools, and by 1921 the pre­ sent configuration of 14 state-owned universities was established. The 14 normal schools evolved from state nor­ mal schools, to state teachers col­ leges, to state colleges. On November 12, 1982, Act 188 was signed into law establishing on July 1, 1993 the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Educa­ tion. Thus, the 13 former state colleges joined with Indiana Uni­ versity of Pennsylvania to achieve university status. The universities have a cumulative history of 1,600 years. / Collectively the 14 universities offer 225 undergraduate and 98 graduate degree programs, led by 5,500 full-time faculty mem­ bers. / An average 75% of undergradu­ ate students receive some form of financial assistance to help meet costs. / Several study abroad programs are available in System umversities. System universities are part of the Pennsylvania Council for International Education. / All the universities support life­ long learning programs through­ out the academic year. Many feature Elderhostel. / Most universities have honors programs, student counseling and career planning, cooperative education, and internship pro­ grams. / System library holdings total more than 5.4 million volumes and 3.5 million periodicals, microforms, and audio materials. / The universities in the State Sys­ tem of Higher Education are fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Sec­ ondary Schools, the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and several appropriate national professional organizations. / System graduates living in the Commonwealth number over 271,000.
