The Babe Ruth Story, starring William Bendix; and the 1992 movie. The Babe, starring John Goodman. “I had no specific thesis in mind when I decided to attend the conference,” said Solberg. “I just knew I wanted to write something on the two movies.” The conference was no dry academic exercise in baseball minutia. It was an all-out tribute to the Babe and the faded glory of the national pastime. It opened, appropriately, with the singing of the national anthem by opera great Robert Merrill and featured a greeting from Babe’s daughter and grandson, Julia Ruth Stevens and Thomas A. Stevens. The long-time voice of the Yankees, Mel Allen, gave a keynote address, and the cast of the Broadway musical Damn Yankees sang Heart. Nearly every topic imaginable related to the great Bambino was covered at the conference. Hall-of-famers Bob Feller, Harmon Killebrew and Robin Roberts led a general discussion on the Babe.

One session featured 30 poets reciting Babe Ruth poetry. Another discussed his influence on Canada, Japan and Latin America. Other topics included Babe Ruth and children. Babe Ruth in literature, and Babe Ruth and the Negro leagues. Solberg’s paper looked at how each movie presented three important moments in Ruth’s life. “Neither movie did a good job,” said Solberg. '‘‘‘The Babe Ruth Story was shamelessly maudlin. It portrayed Ruth as some sort of saint. I couldn’t believe how bad it was. The movie was a complete disaster. The Goodman movie was the exact opposite. It tried to undo everything the previous movie had done. It showed Ruth as a carouser and a womanizer. It was a much better movie but had its share of inaccuracies.” Ironically, Solberg thinks the best movie about Ruth is the simply-titled Babe Ruth, a made for TV film broadcast by NBC in 1991. The conference screened the NBC movie as its concluding event. Its star, Stephen Lang, and producer and executive producer, Frank Pace and Lawrence A. Lyttle, were on hand for a discussion of the film. Lang also portrayed General George Pickett in the movie Gettysburg. The conference attracted baseball writers and broadcasters like Dick Schaap, John Steadman, George Vecsey, Mel Allen, and former Yankee shortstop Phil Rizzuto, who is now a Yankee broadcaster. At the conference’s banquet, Rizzuto presented the main address and received an honorary doctorate from Hofstra. “It was a wonderful mix of baseball fans and serious scholars,” Solberg said of the event. “It wasn’t a stuffy conference. There were several hundred attendees.” The conference was slated to take place at about the same time Solberg was to become a father. “Someone said I would have to make a choice between the Babe and the baby,” he said.

The first exhibition opens on Wednesday, September 6, at 7 p.m. “No Escaping Edges” presents the paintings and drawings of Eastern Illinois University artist-teacher Yu Ji. Prof. Ji is an exciting figurative painter who is deeply committed to the process of painting. His work centers on urban situations often located in places like New York City’s Greenwich Village. His compositions are based on direct observations recorded in his sketch books. For Mr. Ji, figure/space relationships in his work become metaphors for human survival within confined places. His interest in his art is in the depiction of socially mixed figure groups, of street cultures and of social issues that exist in parallel with his aesthetic concerns. “No Escaping Edges” will be shown through Sept. 30. “Contemporary Sculpture: Eight Points of View,” which will be on display from Oct. 6 through Oct. 30, features the work of eight artists from the Philadelphia and New York areas of the east coast. The organizer of the show (and one of the exhibiting artists), Barry Parker, is the head of the sculpture department of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and a former faculty member at Edinboro University. The show is designed to be very diverse in both style and sculptural process. Bruce Gallery’s third exhibition is a three-person show of prints and fabric paintings. “Texts and Textiles” opens on November 1 and concludes Dec. 2. The art of Kimberly Vito, Kristy Deetz, and Penny Sisto connects with work that is personal, intimate, autobiographical, and concerned with human experience. -moreA member of the State System ofHigfier Education 1995-96 BRUCE GALLERY EXHIBITIONS, Continued • Page 2 Denise Burge’s “Southern Landscapes of Memory,” opening Dec. 6, is based on the artist’s youthful Southern landscape - narrative art which uses space and light in a seductive way to suggest autobiographical meaning.

But a survey by Edinboro University of Pennsylvania shows that for many of its graduates, the hardest part of landing a job is deciding which offer to take. Edinboro conducted a survey of former students who graduated between August of 1992 and May of 1993 to determine which majors were most successful at finding a job or attending grad school. The top five categories - which had success rates of 90 percent or better - were for respondents who had majored in nutrition, nursing, special education, speech-language hearing disorders, and social work. These careers are reflections of national trends reported by Money Magazine. In a listing of the 50 hottest careers in America - those expected to grow the most by the year 2005 special education teachers were fourth, speech pathologists were eleventh, registered nurses were number 22, and social workers were number 25 on the list. Dr. Denise Ohler, director of Edinboro’s center for advising and career services, said the success of the Edinboro grads is due not only to choosing a career that is in demand, but also to their willingness to relocate, career or internship experience they may already have, and the amount of effort they put forth in their studies and in career research. “One thing that these five majors have in conunon is that many of their professors bring their senior classes in here for counseling,” said Ohler. “We maintain a career resource library -more- A member of the State System of Higher Education EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS, Continued * Page 2 which lists thousands of jobs. It’s important for students to do their own research and discovery, because it is a skill most people will need to use all of their lives.” According to the survey, the highest placement rate at Edinboro belongs to the graduates of the nutrition program, which is actually a cooperative program among Edinboro, Gannon and Mercyhurst called the Pennsylvania Consortium. Professor Sally Lanz said the demand for nutritionists - especially those who are trained in more than one area - is very high. The U. S. Labor Bureau forecasts a 20-28 percent increase in the need for dietitians through the year 2005. Employment opportunities for nutritionists fall into three categories: clinical dietetics, which involves medical and nutritional therapy; food services at such places as schools and universities, hospitals, restaurants, and food corporations; and community nutrition. Some jobs are available that combine expertise in two or all three of the categories. Lanz said new graduates can find employment in a health-care setting in acute care, long-term care, rehabilitation, or mental health. Other opportunities are with government and community-based agencies such as the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Still other jobs are opening in food service for school districts, most of which do not have nutritionists. More and more businesses and health and recreation clubs are hiring them for wellness and physical fitness programs. Increasingly, dietitians are acting as consultants in private practice settings. In addition to a very high placement rate, graduates of the Pennsylvania Consortium have a better than 90 percent passing rate for the national exam for becoming a licensed dietitian. “Because the consortium involves three schools,” said Lanz, “students have access to a lot of resources. This has helped earn national accreditation from the American Dietetic Association. Our program provides a good, broad comprehensive education that serves as a stepping stone to more specialized areas where our graduates can become board certified.” Two other Edinboro programs with high placement rates according to the survey are nursing (93 percent) and special education (92.5 percent). “There will be a terrible nursing shortage by the year 2000,” said nursing department chairperson Mary Lou Keller. The aging of America will see increasing numbers of retirees, including nurses, who will require more medical care. -more- EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS, Continued Page 3 Currently, many hospitals are reducing their nursing staffs as part of cost cutting. However, with the changes brought on by increased managed health care, whatever jobs may be lost in hospitals will likely be more than made up for by community health care needs. There is still an immediate need for nurses in the south and west in such states as Texas, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico and North Carolina. “Graduates who are willing to relocate will have no trouble finding a job,” said Keller. “We have graduates working in Florida, Virginia and North Carolina.” One way Edinboro’s nurses find these jobs is through the Pennsylvania Student Nurses Convention which is held in the fall, and the national convention held every spring. Recruiters from all over the nation come to the convention to make job offers to students once they graduate. In 1989 the nursing department did a survey of its recent graduates. Of those responding to the survey, 86 percent found jobs before graduation and another 9 percent were employed within a month of graduation. Dr. Sondra Dastoli, chairperson of the department of special education and school psychology, said there has always been a demand for special education teachers, and an even greater demand is anticipated. She pointed to legislation and deteriorating social conditions as reasons for the continuing demand. “In the 1960s, rubella led to medical and social problems,” said Dastoli. “In the 1980s and 90s, the problems have been drug and alcohol addiction in mothers, unstructured homes, attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. Also, the government has been recognizing more and more disabilities, which means serving more and more children.” Another trend is inclusion - the belief that every child has the right to education in the same classroom with his or her peers. This means special education services must be delivered to the child in the classroom, which is creating a need for qualified, trained individuals. Dastoli said students who major in special education often have been inspired in some way - possibly by a family member, friend or neighbor with disabilities. By the time they graduate from Edinboro they have had months of in-person training through field experience and student teaching. Hand-in-hand with the growth of demand for special education teachers has been the demand for trained speech language pathologists. Dr. Roy Shinn, coordinator of Edinboro’s master’s program said demand has expanded tremendously over the years. -more- EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS, Continued Page 4 The shortage of speech-language pathologists and audiologists began at about the same time the profession broadened its scope to include such things as assessment and management of individuals with swallowing disorders, individuals using sophisticated technology to communicate, and working with infants, toddlers and their families. “Speech pathology affects all age groups,” said Shinn. “Eleven percent of the population has a communication disorder of some sort. Children may have a problem with language, speech, stuttering, voice, or temporary or permanent hearing loss. Adults may have a hearing loss, be recovering from a stroke or head injury, or rehabilitating following surgical removal of part or all of their ‘voice box’ due to cancer.” Because the number of Americans over age 65 is expected to double in the next couple of decades, a dramatic increase in the number of adults with speech, hearing, language or other problems is also expected to increase. The University’s master’s program was started by Dr. Richard Forcucci in the mid 1970s and was accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association in 1992. Enrollment in the two-year master’s program is limited to only 30 graduate students. “We have a 15-student per year limit in the graduate program,” said Shinn. “The number of students we can accept is tightly controlled because speech pathology is very one-on-one oriented.” Graduates of the program score well above the national average on the national examination and are employed throughout the country. Every Edinboro graduate who responded to the survey is employed - virtually all had jobs before they graduated - and they can expect to make between $30,000 and $42,000 in their first job out of college. “Some employers specifically request Edinboro graduates because of their work ethic, knowledge base, and ability to put theory into practice,” said Shinn. Trained speech-language pathologists are in such demand that some states are offering financial incentives to attract them. Delaware is going so far as to pay off tuition loan debt on a year-for-year basis up to $10,000. Virtually all 50 states have shortages in schools and hospitals. The demand for Edinboro graduates with a bachelor’s degree in social work is also expected to be strong for some time. Edinboro graduates are especially sought after because of their extensive field experience prior to graduation. They have a 975-hour placement with a social service agency - twice the length of time of most other colleges - and they are expected -more- EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS, Continued Page 5 to do volunteer work in their spare time. Many social service agencies have a preference for employees with a social work degree. A shortage of social workers with master’s degrees is causing agencies to turn to those with bachelor’s degrees. Regulations now require most nursing homes to have a social worker on staff. Perhaps the greatest factor in increasing the demand for social workers is the trend toward deinstitutionalizing patients at agencies. An example of this is Warren State Hospital, which at one time had as many as 4,000 residents. Now it has only 400. The reason for downsizing is cost - approximately $85,000 a year per resident. States are taking the savings and giving patients intensive community services. That’s where trained social workers come in. With some half-million social service agencies across the nation, the need for social workers is not likely to ease soon. -30BKP:bja August 7, 1995 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS For some college graduates, obtaining a diploma is just one step in a sometimes long and frustrating process of finding a job in their chosen career field.

But a survey by Edinboro University of Pennsylvania shows that for many of its graduates, the hardest part of landing a job is deciding which offer to take. Edinboro Seesiiy-conducted a survey of former students who graduated between August of 1992 and May of 1993 to determine which majors were most successful at finding a job or attending grad school. The top five categories - which had success rates of 90 percent or better were for students who had majored in nutrition, nursing, special education, speech-language hearing disorders, and social work. These careers are reflections of national trends reported by Money Magazine. In a listing of the 50 hottest jobs in America - those expected to grow the most by the year 2005 - special education teachers were fourth, speech pathologists were eleventh, registered nurses were number 22, and social workers were number 25 on the list. Denise Ohler, director of Edinboro’s center for advising and career services, said the success of the Edinboro grads is due not onl^ to choosing a career that is in demand, but also to their willingness to relocate, career«xpetjencl they may already have, and the amount of effort they put forth in their studies and in career research. cf "One thing that these five majors have in common is that their professore bring their library which senior classes in here for coun^g,'*^ Vmd ^fler. "We maintain a career lists thousands of ^obs. It's important for students to do their own research and discovery because it is s^et^ing most people will be^Mn^ all of th^ lives." The highest placement rate at Edinboro belongs to the graduates of the nutrition program, which is actually a cooperative program among Edinboro, Gannon and Mercyhurst called the Pennsylvania Consortium. Professor Sally Lanz said the demand for nutritionists - especially those who are trained in more than one area — is very high. The U.S. Labor Bureau forecasts a 20-28 percent increase in the need for dietitians through the year 2005. Employment opportunities for nutritionists fall into three categories: clinical dietetics, which involves medical and nutritional therapy; food services at such places as schools hospitals, restaurants, and food processors; and community nutrition. Some jobs are available that combine expertise in two or all three of the categories. Lanz said new graduates can find employment in a hospital setting in acute care, long­ term care, rehabilitation, or mental health. Other opportunities are in a community-basd^etting such as the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Still other jobs are opening in food service for school districts, most of which do not have nutritionists. More and more businesses are hiring them for wellness and physical fitness programs. W Pr L In addition to a very high placement rate, graduates of the Pennsylvania consortium have a better than 90 percent passing rate for the national exam for becoming a licensed dietitian. "Because the consortium involves three schools," said Lanz, "students have access to a lot of resources. This has helped earn national accreditation from the American Dietetic Association. Our program provides a good, broad comprehensive education that serves as a stepping stone to more specialized fields, where our graduates can become board certified." Two other Edinboro programs with high placement rates according to the survey are nursing (93 percent) and special education (92.5 percent). Dr. Sondra Dastoli, chairperson of the department of special education and school psychology, said there has always been a demand for special education teachers. Graduates in the field are able to find jobs, even if it is only a temporary position. She pointed to legislation and deteriorating social conditions as reasons why special education teachers will continue to be in demand. "In the 1960s rubella led to medical and social problems," said Dastoli. "In the 1980s and 90s, the problems have been drug and alcohol addiction in mothers, unstructured homes, attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. Also, the government has been recognizing more and more disabilities, which means serving more and more children." Another trend is inclusion - the belief that every child has the right to education in the same classroom with his or her peers. This means special education services must be delivered to the child in the classroom, which is creating a need for qualified, trained individuals. Dastoli said students who major in special education often have been inspired in some way - possibly by a family member, friend or neighbor with disabilities. By the time they graduate from Edinboro they have had months of in-person training through field experience and student teaching. Hand-in-hand with the growth of demand for special education teachers has been the demand for trailed speech language pathologists. Dr. Roy Shinn, head-ofEdtnboro's^rogram said the ^ap^^s^eech-language pathology has expanded tremendously over the years. "Speech pathology affects all age groups," said Shinn. "Eleven percent of the population has a communication disorder of some sort. There is now more required treatment for children, and as the population grows older, there is more stroke and more dementia. There are a tremendous variety of disorders." Some of those disorders include children with delays in language development, speech problems, cleft palate, stuttering, inability to speak on one's own, hearing problems, attention problems and many others. The university has offered a bachelor's degree in speech and hearing disorders since the early 1960s. The master's program in speech language pathology has been nationally accredited since 1992. The University limits enrollment in the two-year master's program to only 30 graduate students. "We have a 15 student per year limit in the graduate program," said Shinn. "The numbers of students we can accept are tightly controlled because speech pathology is very one-on-one oriented." For those fortunate few who do earn their master's degrees, the career opportunities are na jmliHated. Every Edinboro graduate* awnng tne pastihreet-years is employed. Virtually all had jobs before they graduated. They can expect to make $30-$42,000 in their first job out of college. Trained speech-language pathologists are in such demand that some states are offering financial incentives to attract them. Delaware is going so far as to pay off tuition loan debt on a yearibiuyear basis up to $10,000. Virtually all 50 states have shortages in schools and hospitals. The demand for Edinboro graduates with a bachelor's degree in social work is also expected to be strong for some time. A number of factors are contributing to this. Edinboro graduates are especially sought after because of their extensive field experience prior to graduation. They have a 975^hour placement with a social service agency - twice the length of time of most other colleges. And they are expected to do volunteer work in their spare time. Many social service agencies have a preference for employees with a social work degree. A shortage of social workers with master's degrees is causing agencies to turn to those with bachelor's degrees. Regulations now require most nursing homes to have a social worker on staff. Perhaps the greatest factor in increasing the demand for social workers is the trend toward deinstitutionalizing patients at agencies. An example of this is Warren State Hospital, which at one time had as many as 4,000 residents. Now it has only 400. The reason for downsizing is cost - approximately $85,000 a year per resident. States are taking the savings and giving patients intensive community services. That's wheretrained social workers come in. ''^tith some half-million social service agencies across the nation, the need for social workers is not likely to ease soon. -30BKP MEMO TO; Brian Pitzer FROM; Roy Shinn RE; Story on graduates Here is the story that I wrote after meeting with you. Feel free to use what you want. The demand for speech-language pathologists and audiologists has stimulated record high interest into the undergraduate and graduate programs at EUP. According to Dr. Roy Shinn, the coordinator of the M.A. program in speech-language pathology, the personnel shortage tegan at about the same time that the profession broadened its scope of practice to include such things as the assessment and management of individuals with swallowing disorders, individu^s using sophisticated technology to communicate (who otherwise can't), and working with infants, toddlers, and their families. Audiology expanded to include balance assessment, programmable amplification, cochlear implants, and intraoperative monitoring of neurologic^ function during surgery. This made the two professions even more attractive to interested individuals. Speech-language pathologists and audiologists work with people of all ages, from newborns through geriatrics, in settings ranging from hospitals to schools to private clinics. Children they work with may have problems with language (vocabulary, grammar, and/or social skills), speech (perhaps due to hearing loss, poor modeling, or a cleft palate), swallowing (due to an underlying neurological problem), stuttering, voice, or temporary or permanent hearing loss. Adults they work with may have hearing loss, be recovering from a stroke or head injury, or rehabilitating following surgical removal of part or all of their "voice box" due to cancer. Demographic changes over the next couple of decades will more than double the number of Americans over age 65. Communication disabilities in the older age ^oups are more prevalent and therefore we expect a dramatic increase in the number of adults with speech, hearing, language, or swallowing problems. Although demograhics shifts are less predictable for children, pohcies aimed at maximizing the potential of all students for the 21st century will re-emphasize the necessity of good communication skills in the formative years. "But today's chnicians don't just treat the disabihty," said Shinn. "Undergraduate students must learn about human development, linguistics, families, neurology, and speech and hearing science, as well as several other related areas. That stage of one's education lays the foundation for successfully developing professional knowledge and skills in graduate schools." Despite the stiff competition to be admitted to graduate school in speech-language pathology or audiology, graduates of the B.A. program in Speech and Hearing Disorders at EUP have attended and graduated from universities throughout the United States, including Syracuse, Arizona State, Pittsburgh, Case Western, Penn State, West Virginia, as well as the excellent program right here at Edinboro. One former student, Dr. Frank Musiek, is Professor of Otolaryngology at Dartmouth University and an internationally recognized expert in central auditory processing disorders. The M.A. program that was started by Dr. Richard Forcucci in the mid 1970s, received formal accreditation in 1992 from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Graduates of the program score well above the national average on the national examination and are employed throughout the country. "Some employers specifically request Edinboro graduates for their work ethic, knowledge base, and abihty to put theory into contemporary practice", said Shinn. The feedback that the program solicits from its alumni and their employers is used to maintain quality and remain up-to-date. Beginning salaries for full time positions generally are in the range of $30 - $40K.

Growth in the future will occur as indivi­ dual professionals continue to assume unique roles in community settings and redefine their contributions in a way that meets the demands of a changing health care system. The employment outlook for dietitians is excellent. The ITS Labor Bureau forecasts a 20% to 28% increase ttt the need rdlf ‘ rietTtians 2005^. This projected demand can be attributed to the increased recognition of the role of nutrition in healtfi and the greater need* for medical nutrltlieif'*i;heF&p3f % prevSlftion and treatment of diseases.t Dozens of exciting new practice roles for dietitians are emerging in private practice, community program^, training and education, hospitality management, develop^ lent of new food products, and hci'i'lea In addition, new roles are envisioned in long-term care, government and political agencies, schools, and fit­ ness and wellness programs. Based on these projections and trends lines, the CCP should continue to attract sufficient numbers of stu­ dents for the enrollment capacity of the program. The enrollment history of the CCP does not point to any definite trend upward or downward. The following data record lists number of applicants and number of graduates between 1977 and 1994.

He prepared a table of placement rates by undergraduate major for 1992-1993 graduates which was distributed at the April 1995 SSHE Institutional Research meeting in Harrisburg and at the May 1995 SSHE Career Services meeting in Bloomsburg. Discussions system-wide between Institutional Research and Career Services are currently underway to standardize data collection and reporting procedures across the State System. Presented here for your reference is a comparison between the State System and Edinboro University using the same methodology as was used in the original table prepared by Mr. Fabian METHODOLOGY Recognizing that any placement rate report relies on self-reported data which may be suspect and that data currently reported across the State System is not based on a standardized survey form, a standardized process, nor a standardized report format, the table included on the following pages attempts to show the placement rate by program. The number placed includes those employed full-time in field, those employed part-time in field, and those attending graduate school. At Edinboro University in field is interpreted as in a career of my choice. The placement rate is based on the number placed divided by the number of responses. The source of Edinboro University data is the Placement Survey Results 1992-93 report prepared by the Center for Advising and Career Services. These data presented represent the placement rates for graduates from the August 1992, December 1992, and May 1993 classes. The survey was mailed to these graduates in October and December 1993 with follow-up calls made fi'om December 1993 through February 1994. Despite the problems inherent with both self-reported data and non-standardized processes, the table on the following pa^es give some indication of the placement rates in the State System of Higher Education and at Edinboro University. While recognizing that some problems may exist with the data collection, the reported table can serve as a catalyst for discussion and as a basis for further assessment. RESPONSE RATE The overall survey response rate is 68.8% for State System graduates and 41.3% for Edinboro University graduates. System response rates by program vary from 44.1% for Science-Other to 92.7% for Chemistry. At Edinboro University response rates by program vary from 0% for Chemistry, Anthropology, and Political Science to 90% for Health and Physical Education graduates. For the purpose of this discussion any Edinboro University programs with a response rate less than 20% are excluded from the Valid Placement Rate column of the table. These data are included in total figures. PLACEMENT RATES Beginning with totals, the placement rate calculated for the State System is 73.2%. Using the same methodology, the placement rate at Edinboro University is 74.6%. The highest placement rate in both the State System (81.7%) and at Edinboro University (94.0%) can be found in the Health fields. The lowest placement rate in the State System can be found in Liberal Arts (61.7%) while the lowest placement rate at Edinboro University occurs in the Sciences (38.5%). When examining placement rates at the individual program level, the highest placement occurs in Nursing for both the State System (91.9%) and Edinboro University (93%). The lowest placement rate in the State System occurs in Liberal Arts-Other (40.7%). The lowest valid placement rate at Edinboro University, excluding those programs with low response rates, occurs in Computer Science (0%) and Sociology (0%). Some valid placement rates (excluding those programs with low response rates) for those students responding to the survey at Edinboro University are over 90%. These include Education Other which is Speech Language Hearing Disorders (91.7%), Special Education (92.5%), Nursing (93%), Medical Technology (100%), and Hedth Other which is Nutrition (100%). Some programs at Edinboro show placement rates less than 50% for 1992-1993 graduates. These include Computer Science (0%), Sociology (0%), History (25%), and Biology (40%). NATIONAL TRENDS Recruiting Trends 1994-95: A Study ofBusinesses, Industries, and Governmental Agencies Employing New College Graduates prepared by Michigan State University reports that growing occupations and employment categories include computer related occupations, engineering, sales and marketing, accounting and finance, and medical and health care services. Valid placements ifates for 1992-93 Edinboro graduates at the time of the survey vary considerably in these high placement areas: Computer Science (0%), Business Administration (71.9%), Nursing (93%), Medical Technology (100%), and Nutrition (100%). 2 CONCLUSION Recognizing that any placement rate report relies on self-reported data which may be suspect and that data currently reported across the State System is not standardized, Institutional Research suggests that this report serves as a catalyst for discussion and as a basis for further assessment.

If they do not meet the criteria for regular admission, they can be admitted as Pre-nursing students. Statistics are calculated however, at the beginning of the sophomore level nursing classes as the number of sojhomore nursing students can exceed the number of students admitted as freshmen the previoi:is year. This occurs because internal trans­ fers (EUP students, especially Pre-nursing students) are permitted to change their major if they have 32 EUP credits and a 2.5 QPA. Also, external trans­ fers (Non-EUP students) may be admitted directly into the sophomore nursing classes if they meet the criteria for admission and progression. Students admitted into the Innovative Program are considered nursing majors at the beginning of their program (fall semester). Students who progress as expected graduate in four years from the regular program.

The above data were collected on 22 of our registered nurses licensed in July 1989. EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS For some college graduates, obtaining a diploma is just one step in a sometimes long and fmstrating process of finding a job in their chosen career field. But a survey by Edinboro University of Pennsylvania shows that for many of its graduates, the hardest part of landing a job is deciding which offer to take. Edinboro conducted a survey of former students who graduated between August of 1992 and May of 1993 to determine which majors were most successful at finding a job or attending grad school. The top five categories - which had success rates of 90 percent or better - were for students who had majored in nutrition, nursing, special education, speech-language hearing disorders, and social work. These careers are reflections of national trends reported by^oney Magazin^In a listing of the 50 hottest in America - those expected to grow the most by the year 2005 - special education teachers were fourth, speech pathologists were eleventh, registered nurses were number 22, and social workers were number 25 on the list. Denise Ohler, director of Edinboro's center for advising and career services, said the success of the Edinboro grads is due not only to choosing a career that is in demand, but also to their willingness to relocate, career or internship experience they may already have, and the amount of effort they put forth in their studies and in career research. "One thing that these five majors have in common is that many of their professors bring their senior classes in here for counseling," said Ohler. "We maintain a career resource library which lists thousands of jobs. It's important for students to do their own research and discover)^ because it is a skill most people will need to use all of their lives." According to the survey, the highest placement rate at Edinboro belongs to the graduates of the nutrition program, which is actually a cooperative program among Edinboro, Gannon and Mercyhurst called the Pennsylvania Consortium. Professor Sally Lanz said the demand for nutritionists - especially those who are trained in more than one area - is very high. The U.S. Labor Bureau forecasts a 20-28 percent increase in the need for dietitians through the year 2005. Employment opportunities for nutritionists fall into three categories: clinical dietetics, which involves medical and nutritionalth^|^; food services at such places as schools 0^'^ hospitals, restaurants, and foot^p^^oorc; and community nutrition. Some jobs are available that combine expertise in two or all three of the categories^^j^^^^^_^5^j^j^ Lanz said new graduates can find employment in a hospital-setting in acute care, long­ term care, rehabilitation, or mental health. Other opportunities are.y a oommunity baae-flctting. such as the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Still othi x jobs are opening in food ^i/\\ service for school districts, most of which do not have nutritionists More and more businesses are hiring them for wellness and physical fitness program^ ^ In addition to a very high placement rate, graduates of the Pennsylvania consortium have a better than 90 percent passing rate for the national exam for becoming a licensed dietitian. "Because the consortium involves three schools," said Lanz, "students have access to a lot of resources. This has helped earn national accreditation from the American Dietetic Association. Our program provid^ago^jJjroad comprehensive education that serves as a stepping stone to more specializeoGSeyst/where our graduates can become board certified." Two other Edinboro programs with high placement rates according to the survey are nursing (93 percent) and special education (92.5 percent). "There will be a terrible nursing shortage by the year 2(XX)," said nursing department chairperson Mary Lou Keller. The aging of America will see increasing numbers of retirees, including nurses, who will require more medical care. Currently, many hospitals are reducing their nursing staffs as part of cost cutting. However, with the changes brought on by increased managed health care, whatever jobs may be lost in hospitals will likely be more than made up for by community health care needs. There is still an immediate need for nurses in the south and west in such states as Texas, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico and North Carolina. "Graduates who are willing to relocate will have no trouble finding a job," said Keller. "We have graduates working in Florida, Wginia and North Carolina. One way Edinboro's nurses find these jobs is through the Pennsylvania Student Nurses Convention which is held in the fall, and the national conventioi^held every spring. Recruiters from all over the nation come to the convention to make job offers to students once they graduate. In 1989 the nursing department did a survey of its recent graduates. Of those responding to the survey, 86 percent found jobs before graduation and another 9 percent were employed within a month of graduation. Dr. Sondra Dastoli, chairperson of the department of special education and school psychology, said there has always been a demand for special education teachers, and an even greater demand is anticipated. She pointed to legislation and deteriorating social conditions as reasons for the continuing demand. "In the 196(^rubella led to medical and social problems," said Dastoli. "In the 1980s and 90s, the problems have been drug and alcohol addiction in mothers, unstructured homes, attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. Also, the government has been recognizing more and more disabilities, which means serving more and more children." Another trend is inclusion - the belief that every child has the right to education in the same classroom with his or her peers. This means special education services must be delivered to the child in the classroom, which is creating a need for qualified, trained individuals. Dastoli said students who major in special education often have been inspired in some way - possibly by a family member, friend or neighbor with disabilities. By the time they graduate from Edinboro they have had months of in-person training through field experience and student teaching. Hand-in-hand with the growth of demand for special education teachers has been the demand for trained speech language pathologists. Dr. Roy Shinn, coordinator of Edinboro's master's program said demand has expanded tremendously over the years. The shortage of speech-language pathologists and audiologists began at about the same time the profession broadened its scope to include such things as assessment and management of individuals with swallowing disorders, individuals using sophisticated technology to communicate, and working with infants, toddlers and their families. "Speech pathology affects all age groups," said Shinn. "Eleven percent of the population has a communication disorder of some sort. Children may have a problem with language, speech, stuttering, voice, or temporary or permanent hearing loss. Adults may have a hearing loss, be recovering from a stroke or head injury, or rehabilitating following surgical removal of part or all of their Q^oice boxQlue to cancer." Because the number of Americans over age 65 is expected to double in the next couple of decades, a dramatic increase in the number of adults with speech, hearing, language or other problems is also expected to increase. Theliniversity's master's program was started by Dr. Richard Forcucci in the mid 1970s and was accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association in 1992. Enrollment in the two-year master's program is limited to only 30 graduate students. "We have a 15-student per year limit in the graduate program," said Shinn. "The numbe^ of students we can accept is tightly controlled because speech pathology is very one-on-one oriented." Graduates of the program score well above the national average on the national examination and are employed throughout the country. Every Edinboro graduate who responded to the survey is employed - virtually all had jobs before they graduated - and they can expect to make $30 $ ‘12,000 in their first job out of college. Some employers specifically request Edinboro thic, knowledge base, and ability to put theory into practice," said Shinn. Trained speech-language pathologists are in such demand that some states are offering financial incentives to attract them. Delaware is going so far as to pay off tuition loan debt on a year fofyear basis up to $10,000. Vutually all 50 states have shortages in schools and hospitals. The demand for Edinboro graduates with a bachelor's degree in social work is also expected to be strong for some time. A number of factors ore contributing to this-. Edinboro graduates are especially sought after because of their extensive field experience prior to graduation. They have a 975~hour placement with a social service agency - twice the length of time of most other colleges^j;5^d they are expected to do volunteer work in their spare time. Many social service agencies have a preference for employees with a social work degree. A shortage of social workers with master's degrees is causing agencies to turn to those with bachelor's degrees. Regulations now require most nursing homes to have a social worker on staff. Perhaps the greatest factor in increasing the demand for social workers is the trend toward deinstitutionalizing patients at agencies. An example of this is Warren State Hospital, which at one time had as many as 4,000 residents. Now it has only 400. The reason for downsizing is cost - approximately $85,000 a year per resident. States are taking the savings and giving patients intensive community services. That's where trained social workers come in. With some half-million social service agencies across the nation, the need for social workers is not likely to ease soon. -30BKP From: VAX::BAILEY l-AUG-1995 15:43:56.52 To: PLOOMIS CC: BAILEY Subj: "Edinboro Survey Reveals Hot Job Prospect Areas" I received your draft press release with a note requesting that I look this over before it is mailed out.

Some jobs are available that combine expertise in two or all three of the categories. Lanz said new graduates can find employment in a health-care setting in acute care, long-term care, rehabilitation, or mental health. Other opportunities are with government and community-based agencies such as the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Still other jobs are opening in food service for school districts, most of which do not have nutritionists. More and more businesses and health and recreation clubs are hiring them for wellness and physical fitness programs. Increasingly, dietitians are acting as consultants in private practice settings. In addition to a very high placement rate, graduates of the Pennsylvania Consortium have a better than 90 percent passing rate for the national exam for becoming a licensed dietitian. “Because the consortium involves three schools,” said Lanz, “students have access to a lot of resources.

Our program provides a good, broad comprehensive education that serves as a stepping stone to more specialized areas where our graduates can become board certified.” Two other Edinboro programs with high placement rates according to the survey are nursing (93 percent) and special education (92.5 percent). “There will be a terrible nursing shortage by the year 2000,” said nursing department chairperson Mary Lou Keller.

John (Jack) E. Martin, associate vice president for institutional advancement, said that Edinboro’s $1.54 million in total 1994-95 gifts came from the following sources; / Alumni; $182,801, a 20 percent increase over the previous year; / Corporations; $65,116, a 14.5 percent increase from last year; / Employees; $7,930, a 27 percent rise; / Matching gifts; $8,723, a gain of $1,220 or 16 percent; / Gifts-in-kind; $584,541, up $307,005, or 11 percent. The gift to Edinboro University of the Taylor House facility by University Services, Inc., is included in this total, Martin said. Donations from foundations, friends of the University, bequests, and gifts to athletics remained stable, Martin said, and accounted for more than $690,000 of the total contributions. Mark Carter, Edinboro’s assistant director of development, said that more than half of the donations from the school’s alumni came from gifts and pledges to the Annual Fund, and that most of those resulted from two phonathon fund drives held last fall and this spring. Dennis Ranalli, a 1974 Edinboro graduate and an Alumni Association director, chaired the 1994-95 Annual Fund drive.
