The main property stayed in the Knobloch family until 1931, when the first of the Gebauer's took title. Jesse Gebauer became the owner in 1942 while married to Adrian Archbold, grandson of John Archbold, the partner and Standard Oil fortune successor to John D. Rockefeller. Mrs. Archbold died in 1976, and much of the estate was divided into smaller holdings and sold privately. The core of the property, however, was retained and put on public auction. In 1978, Louis J. Porreca purchased it. In 1986, Mr. Porreco donated the estate to Edinboro University to enhance the quality and convenience of educational offerings in the Erie area. Today, the renovated estate is used by Edinboro University to provide both credit and non-credit educational opportunities for traditional and non-traditional students, and for holding special events. Various organizations within the community also use the facilities for educational and cultural programming. ACADEMIC PROGRAMS Over 10,000 students have taken classes in various programs at the Porreca Center since Edinboro University consolidated its academic offerings at one convenient location more than 14 years ago. Undergraduate courses in such areas as biology and health services, business administration and economics, mathematics and computer science, speech and communication studies, secondary education, elementary education, English & theatre arts, foreign languages, geosciences, philosophy and history are provided. In addition, Edinboro University offers graduate and extended learning classes, plus four associate degree programs: Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice, Associate of Arts in Human Services, Associate of Science in Business Administration and an Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies. During the summer, the grounds are alive with the sound of children's voices.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE OVERVIEW The field of criminal justice encompasses all matters relating to crime. It is concerned with law, criminology, police, courts, corrections, crime control policy and planning. Moreover, it is a rapidly changing field. Modem criminal behavior such as computer theft and embezzlement, terrorism, racketeering and sophisticated political corruption require new technologies and skills for crime control. There is a need for broadly educated personnel with a deep understanding of the criminal justice system and its political, social and economic environments. There is equally a need for modem police skills, from accounting to computer skills and counseling. A sound degree program in criminal justice must be flexible to prepare undergraduates for a rapidly changing and exciting- set of occupations. To meet this need, Edinboro University offers a comprehensive program which provides an overview of the criminal justice system and development of essential skills: the Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES TOTAL The two-year associate degree program is designed primarily to provide persons currently employed in criminal justice agencies an opportunity to enrich their backgrounds in criminal justice studies and at the same time earn a college degree in the field. Edinboro's criminal justice program seeks to provide students with a broad understanding of the entire criminal justice system and human behavior rather than a narrow specialization. A wide range of employment opportunities exist with the police, the courts, and correctional programs. The background provided by this degree program may also be valuable for those who decide to seek a four-year bachelor's degree in criminal justice, social work, sociology or political science.

I. GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIRE:MENTS 24 sem. hrs. TOTAL Many health and human services agencies are seeking individuals who have less than a baccalaureate degree, but are sophisticated enough to be effective workers. This program is concerned with the preparation of individuals as mental health workers, psychiatric aides, social service workers, workers for developmentally disabled, and workers with the elderly. The availability of trained paraprofessionals in these areas could make such services available to the public more efficiently and effectively. The goal of the program is to educate, in two years, a generalist worker who could move into a wide range of mental health and/ or human services fields. Human services paraprofessionals held several thousand government jobs during the 1990s. Government agencies employ a significant portion of the paraprofessionals to deal with such issues as poverty, crime, public assistance, population policy, social rehabilitation, community development, mental health, racial and ethnic studies, and environmental impact studies.

This course explores the greatly documented, yet little-known, practice of using flower essences as all-natural additions to mainstream wellness programs.

In this course, we will discuss potential root causes for physical discomfort, how flower essences act as "vibrational remedies" to help address emotional imbalances, and how to incorporate essences into our daily lives.

It is supported by membership contributions and product sales. The PMCA is associated with Edinboro University of Pennsylvania through its Office of Extended Learning, which played a valuable role in the formation of the PMCA and continues to provide assistance and logistical support. Purple Martins are condo-nesting members of the swallow family that spend their winters in Brazil and migrate back to North American breeding grounds in the spring, when the weather warms enough to provide flying insects for their food. The eastern race of Purple Martins is different from all other species of birds in that they no longer nest in the wild. Today, east of the Rocky Mountains, they are totally dependent on people to supply them with houses and gourds for nesting. Unfortunately, Purple Martins are not as common as they were a century ago. The PMCA is working to reverse this trend. Today, the PMCA conducts research at its colony site on the eastern shore of Edinboro Lake, where as many as 150 pairs of martins nest each year. Over 6,000 members receive its quarterly publication, The Purple Martin Update. Additionally, the PMCA is in touch with over 100,000 Purple Martin enthusiasts throughout North America. By making accurate information on martins available to would-be landlords, designing better martin housing systems, and by conducting scientific research, the PMCA is working to increase the Purple Martins' population throughout its North American breeding range.

Approximately 100 students participate each year. This event is divided in to three levels: 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, 9th and 10th graders, and 11th and 12th graders. A first, second, and third place is given in each event in 4 different categories: overall performance, drawings, craftsmanship, and oral/report presentation. The Technology Engineering Challenge also has an overall school trophy. This trophy is presented to the school district that wins the most points over all three levels. This trophy is called the Koehle cup. This trophy was named after Rudy Koehle who has been a key supporter, developer, and participant in this event. The trophy is kept at the winning school district for a year and returned the following competition.
