EDINBORO UNIVERSITY HISTORY
Edinboro University was founded in 1857 by the region’s original Scottish settlers as the Edinboro
Academy, a private training school for Pennsylvania teachers. It is the oldest training institution west of the
Allegheny Mountains and the second oldest in all of Pennsylvania. As a people, the Scots were both hearty and
hardy. Their commitment to teaching and learning, their work ethic, and their strength of family tempered by
upbringing in the great Highland Clans have brought a unique perspective and commitment to all we do at
Edinboro University today.
In the beginning, Edinboro consisted of one two-story building, six classrooms, three instructors, 110
students and a principal. Edinboro now has more than 40 buildings on 585 acres and locations in Edinboro and
Erie.
Today, the University’s academic focus goes well beyond the training of teachers. Edinboro has been
transformed into what is now northwestern Pennsylvania’s largest and most comprehensive university and is
recognized as a leader in academic programs.

PORRECO COLLEGE OF EDINBORO UNIVERSITY
Porreco College, known by the tagline The Community’s College because it offers workforce-focused
associate degree and certificate programs at a cost comparable to community colleges in Pennsylvania, is
located about 19 miles from the Edinboro campus at 2951 West 38th Street in Erie. The 26-acre former estate,
donated to the University in 1986 by the late Louis Porreco, an Erie businessman and civic leader, includes
classrooms in a renovated barn and the former garden house, which in early 2015 was dedicated as the Joseph
Thompson Education Center. Mary Porreco Hall, the former main residence, provides meeting, retreat and
conference space. The College in fall 2014 began to offer workforce-ready associate degree and certificate
programs at affordable rates as a result of the Porreco Promise scholarship endowment, which provides grants
to Erie County residents enrolled full or part time in Porreco College programs. Its highly successful first year
exceeded enrollment targets and was marked by the creation of training partnerships with several leading
regional employers, including Pennsylvania Electric Co. (Penelec) and General Electric Co. In addition,
Edinboro University was honored with the American Association of University Administrators’ (AAUA)
Exemplary Models Award for 2015 in recognition of its innovative approach to increasing educational
attainment and meeting employers’ demands for career and technical education. In addition to associate degree
and certificate programs, Porreco College offers a variety of courses for the convenience of main campus
students living in the Erie area and houses the University’s College Start Program (CSP). The CSP provides an
opportunity for students who have not met admission requirements for main campus programs to develop the
skills necessary for future success while earning college credit. High school students also can take college-level
courses at Porreco through the Regional Choice Initiative.

TECHNOLOGY SERVICES FOR FACULTY
Logging into the Network
Edinboro University’s campus network (EUPnet) requires any person accessing the campus network to
login to an account before access is granted to the system or the network. If you are logging on to the
campus network with a windows based computer, you will be prompted to press the <Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>
keys to access the logon screen (see the figure below). Apple Macintosh users will see a slightly different
logon screen (see figure below).

Windows 7 Log-On Screen

8

Apple Macintosh Log-On Screen

Your username and password is automatically created when you become an employee of Edinboro University.
This username will not change during your employment at the University.
Usernames consist of the employee's first initial plus their last name. For example, an employee by the name of
John P. Worker would have a username of "JWorker" and his email address would be
JWorker@edinboro.edu. If the username matches an existing username then the middle initial is included so in
the example above John P. Worker's username would become JPWorker and his email address would by
JPWorker@edinboro.edu. If the first and middle initial plus the last name exist then other letters from the first
name will be added until a unique username is created.
Your initial password consists of your first initial (UPPERCASE), your birth date consisting of 6 digits in the
format of MMDDYY, and your last initial (lowercase). For example, if John Worker’s birth date is May 7th,
1975 then his initial password is J050775w. Notice that the leading zeroes are added in front of the single digit
month and day. It is important that EUP is chosen as the domain, otherwise the username and password you
enter will not be accepted.
NOTE: It is a highly recommended that you change your password immediately after your initial login.
Technology Help Center
The Technology Help Center is located on the upper level of Ross Hall at the entrance to the raised walkway.
You can obtain assistance with your technology related issues in person during business hours, by calling

ITV (Video Conferencing)
Video Conferencing is a technology that enables synchronous distance education - with real time audio/video,
and computer graphics. It is also used for administrative meetings and non-credit classes. Technology and
Communications manages four on-campus video-conferencing facilities as well as one at Porreco campus in
Erie. Courses are offered from the EUP main campus and delivered to the Erie campus as well as other
PASSHE sister schools. Courses may also be received from other remote locations.
Wireless
Technology and Communications is committed to deploying 802.11b/g/n wireless technology across campus to
allow highly mobile computing for all faculty, students and staff. Over the past few years we have steadily
increased wireless coverage to areas commonly frequented by students. What does all this really mean? It
means that it is getting easier for faculty, students and staff to stay connected. Instead of being tied to a desk or
lab to access the campus network or internet, access may now be obtained in lounges, dining areas, and some
outdoor areas. Access to network resources and the ability for our students to stay in touch with faculty, family
and friends just got a little easier. Please visit http://wireless.edinboro.edu for instructions on how to get
connected and other wireless information.
Technology in the Classrooms
Technology and Communications is committed to providing learning technology in the classrooms that
enhances the learning experience. As such, we have worked with members of our Faculty to determine the best
configurations that both minimize the support and maximize the return on investment. We have over 160
classrooms with presentation technology. For more information on classroom technology or to schedule an
11

orientation session, contact the classroom technology support staff at x2010. Please use x2010 to report any
classroom technology issues.

FIRST DAY ATTENDANCE
Students must attend classes on the first class day. Faculty will take attendance and report daily to the Office of
Records and Registration throughout the add period. Any student marked as a “non-attend” will be removed from the
class. It is imperative that you file student attendance reports as directed, in order to free unused seats for students during
the add period.

E-REG (ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION)
A secure website where students indicate that they will attend classes in the upcoming semester, E-REG opens the
week before classes begin and ends at midnight on the last day to add a class. Students can access this site anywhere they
have an internet connection. This information is critical for finalizing class rosters, available seats, and enrollment data.

Student withdrew from the course prior to the end of the withdrawal period established by the University
incomplete**

* Research in Progress: The “R” letter is used in undergraduate courses where circumstances prevent the completion of a
project involving research or similar investigations, within the normal academic grading period. The deadline for the
removal of an “R” designator, and its replacement by a standard letter grade, is one calendar year from the date of the
original posting of the “R” designator.
** Incomplete: The “I” letter indicates the student has been unable to complete the required coursework within the time
limit of the course because of illness, or some other reason acceptable to the faculty member teaching the course. “I”
designators received during any academic semester or session must be removed during the first four weeks of the next
subsequent semester. Failure to complete the necessary work within the time limit will result in the “I” designator being
automatically converted to a failing grade (F) for the course.
Special Withdrawal: W grades are awarded to students who withdraw after the tenth week for extenuating circumstances.
Procedures for withdrawal are listed in the undergraduate catalog. No withdrawals are valid unless the student has secured
the approval of the dean of the faculty in which a student is a major. NOTE: The preceding information refers to the
undergraduate grading system only.

Withdrawal
Incomplete Grade

Candidates for the master's degree must have earned a cumulative grade average of "B" or better for their degree program.
In addition, they must meet other standards as determined by the department offering the program. A student who is
unable to meet the standards of quality of work set by a department may be asked to withdraw at the end of any semester
or session.
A grade of "F" renders the course involved unacceptable for degree requirements; however, this grade is included when
the grade average is computed.
An incomplete grade, "I", will be issued when the work is interrupted because of poor health. An instructor may, in
unusual circumstances other than poor health, assign an incomplete grade. “I” designators received during any academic
semester or session must be removed during the first four weeks of the next subsequent semester, unless written approval
granting an extension of this time limit has been given by the Registrar. It is the student's responsibility to see that the
work is completed within this time period. The incomplete grade will automatically be changed to an "F" grade if the
work is not completed during this time period. If a student has an incomplete grade in the semester of graduation, he/she
must complete the work and have the grade assigned by the instructor within two weeks after commencement.
A grade of "R" is issued to indicate that no grade is presently available because research is still in progress. After the
research is completed, the "R" is replaced on the permanent record by an "A", "B", "C" or "F" grade with the
corresponding credit. "R" grades should not continue for a period that exceeds four academic semesters. At the end of that
time period, the grade may revert to a “RT” Research Terminated and the student will have to re-enroll in the academic
experience.
A grade of "W" shows that the student withdrew himself or herself between the 2nd and10th week of the semester or the
equivalent time period of a winter or summer session. Additionally, W grades are issued during the extenuating
circumstance withdrawal period (11th week through last day of class).
The grade of "AU" shows that the student completed the course, but that no credit was earned because the individual
registered for the course on an audit basis. A student who registers for a course on an audit basis who fails to complete the
course will receive a "W" grade.
Repeating Courses
Courses may be repeated only under extenuating circumstances and then only with the approval of the advisor and the
Dean of Graduate Studies and Research. Individuals admitted to graduate study on a conditional admission basis will not
be granted permission to repeat courses while classified as a degree student admitted on a conditional basis. The grade
earned when a course has been repeated is shown on the official transcript along with the original grade. In computing the
cumulative grade average the grade earned when the course was repeated is substituted for the original grade.

GRADUATE ATTENDANCE POLICY
Students are expected to attend classes for which they are registered. In the case of unavoidable absences the student
bears the responsibility of arranging with the instructor for any necessary makeup work. In determining the course grade,
the instructor will take into consideration work missed due to absences.

SERVING STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
www.edinboro.edu, keyword: disability

Edinboro University has been nationally recognized for the quality and scope of its services to students with
disabilities since the early 1970s. The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) provides support services to students
with all types of disabilities including learning, physical, visual, hearing, mental and cognitive disabilities. Following
admission to the University, students who request disability- related accommodations are required to provide appropriate
documentation of their disability to the OSD. Services are provided based upon documented and expressed need. Services
include personal attendant care, van transportation, wheelchair maintenance, peer advisors and mentors, meal aides,
academic aides, readers, athletic teams, sign language interpreters, captioning service, assistive technology, Braille, tactile
drawings, alternative test arrangements, priority scheduling and adapted computing equipment. The OSD works closely
with disability-related agencies including the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and the Bureau of Blindness and Visual
Services.
Students with documented disabilities are registered with the Office for Students with Disabilities. Based on the
documentation, reasonable accommodations are approved by the OSD staff. Professors may ask students for verification
of their registration with the OSD, as well as the approved accommodations. Each student is issued a letter outlining their
appropriate educational accommodations, serving as evidence that they have registered for services and that the
accommodations which are outlined are appropriate for the student.
In order to ensure fairness, equality, and to assure an individual student’s ability to function in a testing situation,
consistency is one of the most important factors when making an adaptation policy. This ensures that the modifications do
not give students with disabilities a competitive edge, but rather eliminates competitive disadvantage. Reasonable and
mutually agreeable procedures do not lend themselves to rules and regulations but are the shared responsibility between
the instructor and student. Equality is enhanced by assuring that such procedures are agreed upon at the beginning of the
semester.
It is the student’s responsibility to bring his/her needs for accommodation to the attention of the instructor
as early as possible. A suggested universal practice is for instructors to maximize the chances of encouraging early
discussions by making the following general announcement at the first few class sessions of each semester: “I would
appreciate hearing from anyone in this class who has a disability and may require some special accommodation. I am
reasonably sure that we can work out whatever arrangement is necessary, be it special seating, testing, or other
accommodations. See me after class, or during my office hours.” The same message should be included in the course
syllabus. Such an announcement not only gives “permission” to hesitant students, but sensitizes the entire class to the
concept that individuals with disabilities are an integral part of the group, even though they may undergo different testing
conditions. However, some students do not consider themselves disabled “enough” to request accommodations until after
an exam. The longer the delay in providing accommodations, the less chance that the accommodations will be effective in
aiding the student.
23

Personnel within the OSD have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share with faculty about employing
universal design in instruction and the learning environment. The professional staff are from the nursing, occupational
therapy, social work, counseling, education, and speech and hearing sciences fields and make themselves available to lend
expertise and engage in discussions surrounding accessibility and accommodations for students.
Please feel free to direct questions to the OSD as there are sometimes novel situations that require unique
accommodations.

Code of Conduct
III. STATEMENT OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
In order to create an environment conducive to the legitimate pursuit of knowledge and to promote the highest level of
academic excellence, the faculty of Edinboro University hold all students accountable for maintaining the highest
standards of academic integrity. Students who engage or participate in any form of academic dishonesty will be
considered to be in violation of Edinboro University's academic integrity statement and will be subject to sanctions, up to
and including dismissal from the University.
Academic dishonesty is defined as follows:
Cheating. Behaviors including, but not limited to, use of unauthorized notes or reference materials during examinations;
copying answers from another student's paper during an examination; the unauthorized possession of academic materials,
including exams; the unauthorized exchange of course assessment materials, including exams; the unauthorized exchange
of information or collaboration regarding tests, or other course assignments; aiding another to engage in cheating; and/or
all other acts of academic dishonesty that any member of this academic community would reasonably understand to be a
breach of this academic integrity statement will be considered cheating and an act of academic dishonesty.
Plagiarism. Plagiarism may be defined as the act of taking the ideas and/or expression of ideas of another person and
representing them as one's own. This includes, but is not limited to, using ideas or passages from a work without properly
attributing the source, paraphrasing the work of another without giving proper credit, and/or the sale, purchase, or
exchange of papers or research. It is the student's responsibility to know what plagiarism is and to properly cite the work
of others. If a student is in doubt, it is their responsibility to resolve any ambiguity prior to submitting the work.
Plagiarism is nothing less than an act of theft, and, as such, is subject to University disciplinary action.
Students are expected to represent their personal work honestly in that the work students submit for evaluation in a course
is their own. Honesty is expected in all facets of students' academic lives and in their interactions with faculty regarding
all aspects of their courses. Students involved in acts of cheating or plagiarism fail to meet the mission of the University
and thus are subject to disciplinary action.
Students who are in violation of the University's academic integrity statement will be held accountable for their actions by
the faculty member and the academic department and be subject to the imposition of discipline. Such violations can result
in the student receiving a lower grade or a failing grade for the assignment and/or the course, and/or other academic
sanctions as deemed to be appropriate by the faculty member.

SELECTED UNIVERSITY POLICIES & PROCEDURES
www.edinboro.edu, keyword: policy
click on “policy manual (employees only)” and sign in with password
Class Attendance Policy
1. Students are expected to attend each and every class meeting in its entirety. Faculty members shall maintain a
record of classroom attendance. Each student is responsible for verifying his or her attendance when arriving
late to class and/or justifying early departure.
2. Class absences are excused for medical reasons, University activities approved by the appropriate vice
president or designee, and/or for personal exigencies. University activities appropriate to be considered as an
excused absence include but are not limited to: scheduled athletic events, cultural events, academic
competitions, etc., in which the student is a participant. Other appropriate situations include: military duties,
auto accidents, death in immediate family, medical emergencies. Verification of such absences may be
required by the instructor, and the student is responsible for make-up work as required by the instructor.
3. A student who has been recognized by an individual faculty member as potentially benefiting from learning
experiences which complement regular classroom attendance may contract with the instructor for a mutually
agreeable alternative to regular classroom attendance.
4. Faculty members are encouraged to consider class attendance in their grading. A student shall have the
privilege of unexcused absences equal to the number of classes held in a week, or to one absence per credit
hour, whichever is less.
Academic Assessment of Students Policy
It is recognized that faculty have academic freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject. Faculty
members are encouraged to administer a sufficient number and variety of evaluative measures to arrive at a just
appraisal of student performance. A final evaluation or culminating experience should be one of the evaluative
measures administered in each course.

25

Disruptive Behavior in Supervised Situations Policy
If a student, through language or behavior, disrupts the classroom or any academic situation so that
instruction is materially impeded, an employee has the right to request the removal of the student from class.
For the purpose of this policy, “employee” includes a faculty member or other authorized employee or agent of
the University.
Disciplinary Procedures and Student Code of Conduct Policy
Copies of “Student Code of Conduct and Judicial Procedures” are available in the office of the Vice
President for Student Affairs, Office of Student Standards, Residence Life and Housing Office, and on the
University website at www.edinboro.edu, keyword: judicial affairs. See entries for Anti-Plagiarism Handbook,
Faculty Referrals, and Student Code of Conduct.
Student Appeal of Assigned Grade Policy
This policy provides for due process in the rare instance when a student believes that a final grade
assigned in a course reflects unsubstantiated academic evaluation or calculation error by the course instructor. It
also provides a remedy in cases where the hearing process sustains the student’s claim. The process is not a
disciplinary proceeding for any of the involved parties, although the findings may lead to disciplinary
investigation or action under a different University policy.
Each academic department of the University shall have an Academic Appeals Committee. Membership
on the Committee shall consist of at least three faculty members of the department and at least two students who
are majors in the department’s programs, all of whom shall be elected by the department faculty. Students
wishing to appeal a final grade must initiate the appeal within fifteen (15) calendar days after the beginning of
the semester following the issuance of the grade. Summer school shall not constitute a semester. The
departments will maintain records of all grade appeals. With the exception of the grade change, no part of this
procedure will become a part of any individual’s university record or file.
Since the grading process involves the instructor’s judgment of the student’s academic performance, the
only issue under consideration for final grade appeal is whether the student can provide clear evidence that the
assignment of the grade was a result of a calculation error or was assigned based on unsubstantiated academic
evaluation by the instructor.
Death of a Student Policy
In the event of a student death on or off campus, the University Police should be immediately
notified. The University Police will notify the Vice President for Finance & Administration and the
Vice President for Student Affairs. If the Vice President for Finance & Administration and the Vice
President for Student Affairs are unavailable, the University Police should notify the President or
his/her designee.
If the death is discovered by a university employee other than the University Police, the University
Police should be immediately notified. The employee should then utilize the appropriate chain of
command to notify his/her supervisor. When necessary, the appropriate support service referrals
will be made by the employee’s immediate supervisor.
The location of the student’s death will be considered a potential crime scene until police personnel
have determined otherwise. Therefore, access to this location may be restricted pending resolution
of a criminal investigation. Individuals sharing a common living space with the deceased student
may be temporarily or permanently reassigned at the University’s discretion. The Residence Life
and Housing office will attempt to honor on campus room relocation requests as appropriate.
26

Emergency Response Procedures

Environmental Health and Safety shall coordinate scheduled drills with the Residence Hall Coordinators.
Drills shall be conducted at different hours of the day or evening, during the changing of classes, and
during other times to avoid distinction between drills and actual fires. These drills shall be unannounced to the
occupants of the buildings.
In cases of severe weather the Manager of Environmental Health and Safety shall have the authority to
modify the frequency of the emergency evacuation drills.
Fire drills shall be conducted, supervised, and documented by the Manager of Environmental Health and
Safety or his/her designee.
Evacuation is mandatory any time a fire alarm is activated or when an evacuation is ordered.
Building specific evacuation procedures shall supersede these general procedures. Occupant specific

Non-Discrimination Statement, Policies, and Reporting Procedures
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania is an equal opportunity education institution and employer and will
not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, and disability in its activities, programs or
employment practices as required by Title VI, Title VII, Title IX, Section 504, and the ADA. For information
regarding civil rights or grievance procedures, contact the Office of Human Resources and Faculty Relations,
Reeder Hall, (814-732-2810) or the Office of Social Equity (814-732-2167), 219 Meadville Street, Edinboro,
PA 16444.
For information or assistance regarding services, activities and facilities that are accessible to and
useable by persons with disabilities, contact Kimberly Kennedy, Director, Office for Students with Disabilities
(814-732- 2462 V/TTY).
Furthermore, Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities.
Complaints or concerns of sex discrimination and sexual harassment should be reported to the Director of
Social Equity at 814-732-2167 or to the Associate Vice President for Human Resources and Faculty Relations
at 814-732-2810. Reports of sexual violence and sexual assault should be reported to the University Police at
814-732-2921 and the Title IX Coordinator at 814-732-2167.
University Policy G005 Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action and Non-Discrimination states:
“Edinboro University does not discriminate against individuals or groups because of their race, sex/gender,
color, age, religion, national origin, disability, organizational affiliation, sexual orientation/gender stereotype,
marital status, veteran status, or any other protected class status as defined by applicable federal or state law.”
27

Individuals who live, learn, and work on campus are strongly encouraged to read and familiarize themselves
with the full content of this policy.
University Policy C006 Harassment, Intimidation and Institutional Vandalism states: “The University is
committed to creating and maintaining a campus environment that is free of harassment, intimidation, and
institutional vandalism. University policy prohibits committed acts that are severe or pervasive enough to have
the impact of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s ability to live, learn, and work at Edinboro
University. Such acts include, but are not limited to, acts of bullying, including cyber-bullying, intimidation or
danger to the person, criminal mischief, harassment by community or address and arson.” Individuals who live,
learn, and work on campus are strongly encouraged to read and familiarize themselves with the full content of
this policy.
Sexual Harassment and Related Unprofessional Conduct Policy
The University is committed to creating and maintaining a campus environment that is free of sexual
harassment. Sexual harassment is a violation of both Federal and State Law and the University will act in
accordance with those laws. The University will not knowingly tolerate substantiated incidences of sexual
harassment. It is the University’s position that any degree of sexual harassment is a sufficient basis for the
imposition of discipline on students and employees, and, depending on the nature of the offense, discipline
could range from verbal warnings up to and including termination or expulsion. When sexual harassment is
sufficiently severe or pervasive that it unreasonably interferes with an individual’s performance and creates an
intimidating, hostile working or learning environment, substantial disciplinary action is warranted. The
University regards this policy as a reaffirmation of a view it has always held that sexual harassment constitutes
a basis for disciplinary action that can include, where appropriate, termination of employees or expulsion of
students.
The University’s educational mission is promoted by professionalism in interpersonal relationships.
Since professional relationships are central to the mission and goals of the University, it is essential to establish
a standard of expected conduct in these relationships. Personal relationships should not be allowed to conflict
with the academic and professional integrity of these interpersonal relationships or to interfere with an
individual’s work or educational experience. A University employee with professional responsibility for a
student has real or potential power and authority over that student in a variety of roles including, but not limited
to, instructor, advisor, coach, work-study supervisor, committee member, etc. Such employee shall not abuse
that power. Absent contradictory evidence, amorous and sexual relationships between a student and an
individual with professional responsibility for that student, are presumed to be exploitative and constitutes
unprofessional conduct. The consensual nature of such a relationship does not necessarily constitute a defense
to a charge of sexual harassment or related unprofessional conduct. Therefore, any employee in a supervisory
role who enters into a sexual relationship with a student or another employee enters into that relationship with
risk. These persons will be subject to scrutiny if a complaint of sexual harassment is leveled against the
“supervisory person” by the “subordinate person” or if a third party brings a complaint.
University Policy G004 University Sex Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct Policy Handbook
contains information for University employees, students, parents, and others as required under Title IX (20
U.S.C. §1681 et seq.) (“Title IX”), The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security policy and Campus Crime
Statistics Act (20 U.S.C. §1092(f) (“Clery Act”) and the Violence against Women Act (“VAWA also known as

Edinboro University sponsors 17 varsity sports, wheelchair basketball and cheerleading: 16 in NCAA II and
the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), one in NCAA I, PSAC, and EWL (wrestling).
10 women’s teams include cross country, volleyball, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor track and field,
tennis, softball, outdoor track and field, and lacrosse.
7 men’s teams include cross country, football, basketball, swimming, wrestling, outdoor track and field, and
tennis.
We have more than 100 home competitions during the year and invite you to attend when you can. Want to
get even closer to the action? Contact Roy Shinn (shinn@edinboro.edu) about serving as an honorary
captain for one of the home competitions.
The PSAC consists of the 14 PASSHE universities and four private institutions.
Edinboro has approximately 350 student-athletes across three playing seasons, majors in nearly every
academic department, and 17 in the Honors program.
Priority Scheduling allows students representing the University on athletic teams to register for courses 24
hours ahead of their peers with a goal of minimizing missed class time due to competitions.
The University attendance policy allows students representing the University in athletic competitions to
make up any missed work due to a missed class because of a competition. It is the student-athletes’
responsibility to work with their instructors to plan for this. They are not excused from class for practice.
Student-athletes considered at-risk academically attend supervised study table 3-6 hours per week, in order
to promote positive study habits
Student-athletes with cumulative GPAs ≥ 3.0 qualify for the Spring banquet and are asked to invite a faculty
member or administrator to join them.

Director Todd Jay (jay@edinboro.edu), Sports Information Director Bob Shreve (rshreve@edinboro.edu),
