Last yaar two day3 were allocated for this activity and it appear~d this would be sufficient a 6 ain. Students wbo h .~d not attended previous orientations in tile Fall of 1977 and in the Spring of 1973 were invited as well as those wl10 nad been acccpt~d since tne Spring Orientation had been held. Traditionally the nuuber of students who attend the June 0rientation ~1as not been large. It is tr1ou 6 ht that t~1ose wl10 did not attend previous orientations would not be likely to at t~nd t :lis one either. Jti1er factors such as s1.llilmer jobs, vacrition plans, etc. make it less likely t ~1at students will att~nd this ;>articular orientation.

It also involves a relationship with the student that encompasses the full range of adjustment to the College. One should not underestimate the full importance of the adviser/advisee relationship in the integration of the student into the college scene. The higher the degree of integration of the individual into the college systems, the greater will be his/her commitment to the goal of college completion and to the specific institution. The interplay between the individual's commitment to the institution determines whether or not he decides to drop out of college. The adviser should be a concerned and interested human being who provides a personal link with the College. The faculty adviser may, for some students, be the only college official who knows him/her by name and responds to him on a personal basis. The student has a definite responsibility to be aware of his credit needs for graduation. Because it is ultimately the student's responsibility to choose his courses of study, the adviser should recognize the importance of his conmitment when assisting the student in making appropriate choices. ~dinboro State College believes that faculty advisers are generally best qualified to provide academic advice for the student. The advisement program, coordinated and supervised by the Academic Affairs Office, provides each student with an academic adviser. The student is assigned an adviser according to guidelines established by the various department chairpersons. The new student is noti-f ied of his/her advisor assignment by mail prior ro registration day. The name of the faculty adviser is also printed on his/her first printed class schedule. In some cases, a folder is forwarded to the faculty adviser. This folder includes SAT scores, high school class standing, an evaluation sheet showing courses taken, and the grade point average. Most often,however, the adviser is expected to start a folder for the student. The faculty adviser retains a copy of each proposed schedule prepared during pre-registration. Likewise, periodic grade reports and cumulative academic histories, are filed in the student folder. The adviser is expected to post a schedule of his/her office hours on his/her office door. During pre-registration periods (usually two weeks duration) the advisee must make an appointment with his/her adviser for the purpose of advisement and scheduling. The adviser will have a computerized copy of the student's cumulative academic record. The faculty adviser and advisee are encouraged to review academic progress and to select appropriate courses for the forthcoming semester. The faculty adviser, when providing academic and personal advisement, may occasionally encounter situations which are beyond his expertise. If assistance is needed, the adviser contacts ~is/her department chairperson, dean, or the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. 56 II II II -■ -II II UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORY STATISTICS 1977-78 Department 'II II II Art Biology l Chemistry Counselor Education Earth Sciences Economics Ed.

As such it assisted local government in Northwestern Pennsylvania in many of its needs and activities. In 1974, the name was changed to its present designation to more appropriately reflect the overall activities of the agency. For the 1977-78 year (July 1, 1977-June 30, 1978) these activities fall into six (6) categories: 1. , Programs conducted under terms of the Title I, HEA, grant for Consumer Education and Information. 2. Completion of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture contract. 3. Completion of the Edinboro, Pennsylvania, long-range plan. 4. Publication of two newsletters. 5. Operation of three statewide-regional conferences. 6. Operation of the Political Science-Criminal Justice Program. Title I, Higher Education Act Grant A significant portion of the 1977-78 activities were devoted to carrying out the terms of the Title I, HEA grant. This grant called for a number of seminars, workshops and conferences in the area of consumer education, information and protection, together with operation of the Institute Speakers' Bureau. In all 53 seminars were conducted by the Institute, 47 of these for Erie County, Pennsylvania, senior citizens and partially funded by a separate small grant from the Greater Erie Community Action Agency. The remaining six seminars were conducted for representatives of GECAC divisions. These seminars serviced 1,936 people, total. Twelve workshops were conducted in Edinboro, York and Reading, Pennsylvania. These included programs on Food, State and Local Taxation, Health Services, Public Utilities, Advertising, Education and the School System, and the Law-all relevant to consumer issues and affairs. The workshops serviced an additional 518 persons. 86 The third aspect of this project dealt with three statewide-regional conferences conducted by the Institute. These were the Pennsylvania Consumers Telecommunications Conference, partially funded through a separate grant from the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania; the Future of Rural Pennsylvania, Northeast and Appalachian ·Regions Conference, partially funded through a small grant from the Appalachian Region Development Division, Pennsylvania Department of Commerce; and the Eastern Consumer Conference. In all, these conferences attracted 385 consumer, community, government, industry and educational leaders from Pennsylvania and sixteen other states. A further aspect of this program was its work with high school students, where the Institute serviced almost 300 students through presentations on consumer affairs. Finally, the Institute provided service to a large number of groups, agencies and organizations through the Speakers' Bureau. Institute staff members gave 54 additional speeches through the Bureau, servicing 4,053 people throughout the Commonwealth and beyond. Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Grant The terms of this grant concluded October 31, 1977, with most requirements completed. Originally scheduled to run until June 30, 1978, the Department elected to terminate the contract eight months early. During the contract period the Institute was involved in long-term research on producer-to-consumer marketing, compiling a comprehensive compilation of organizational requirements for community food-buying clubs, and the structuring of the Edinboro Community Foods buying club as a pilot project. The role of Edinboro State College in this project undertaking has been recognized by the Council of State Governments in a recent publication on alternative marketing systems. Borough of Edinboro Contract In 1976, the Institute contracted with the Borough of Edinboro to complete a long-range plan for the community. Work began early in 1976 and was completed early this past spring. This was the second major project the Institute has completed for the Borough and is evidence of the value of such. an agency as the Institute. It is estimated that Borough taxpayers have been saved approximately 3 mills of taxation through the codification and long-range plan contracts with the Institute. Publications The Institute publishes two newsletters monthly, one .the Northwest Consumer Forum, and a second one, Regional Public Affairs. The first goes 87 I I I to over 4,000 persons, mainly in Northwest Pennsylvania (and continually growing); the latter pertains to local government issues and goes to each governmental unit in the eight-county Northwest Pennsylvania region. Interns.h ips Ever since public service internships have been made available at Edinboro the program has been operated by the staff of the Institute. This program is now six years old and in 1977 added internship placements for the Criminal Justice Program to its responsibilities. At the present time the Institute is placing approximately 50 interns per year in various public and private nonprofit agencies. ' The, above synopsis of Institute activities for 1977-78 covers principal activities. However, over the course of the year Institute staff members gave 16 special major addresses at conferences, special meetings and symposia. These included: 1. General Telephone and Electronics Executive Conference, Stamford, Connecticut. 2. Bell Telephone System Rate Managers, New Orleans, Louisiana. 3. Rural America National Conference, Washington, D.C. 4. National Consumer Symposium, Tucson, Arizona. 5. American Telephone and Telegraph Executive Confer~nce, Basking Ridge, New Jersey. 6. Wisconsin Consumer-Utility Conference, Madison, Wisconsin. 7. Pennsylvania Electric Association, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. 8. American Telephone and Telegraph Executive Meeting, Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania. 9. Direct·Selling Association, International Conference, Colorado Springs, Colorado. 10. Metropolitan Edison Executive Workshop, Reading, Pennsylvania. 11. American Gas Association Executive Conference, Innisbrook, Florida. 12. Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania Executive Meeting, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In addition, Institute staff have served and/or are continuing to serve on joint industry-consumer panels with AT & T, the Direct Selling Association, American Council on Life Insurance, National Pharmaceutical Council, East Ohio Gas Company, National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation and the Boston Gas Comp any. 88 Through its efforts in working with industry and business, community and government organizations and agencies and interested individuals, the Institute raised a total of $56,016.53 during 1977-78, $6,600 of which was for its consumer scholarship fund to which 29 individuals, agencies and companies contributed. The remaining funds were raised through separate contracts. The staff of the Institute for Community Services believes the past year has been a most productive one. Its programs have reached over 13,000 residents not including television and radio programs. Our work is recognized nationally as a leading institution of higher education where consumer affairs projects are conducted. The Institute is recognized by major businesses and industries as a responsible and productive agency as shown through contributions to the Institute Consumer Scholarship Fund. Through these efforts Edinboro State College has provided services to countless thousands of Pennsylvania residents at a minimum of cost • .... 89
