The program was created by the State System of Higher Education to give 14 outstanding undergraduate students access to top policy-making areas of state government. THIS, which is open to the 94,600 students from the 14 State System universities, integrates internship assignments with classroom study and is designed to recruit high quality students to work with high level government officials. Tonks is serving her internship in Harrisburg at the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Democratic Legislative Research Office as an analyst. Tonks does not come from a politically based background, and there is much to learn. “I am a psychology major, so I knew very little about the government before this internship.” She said that she finds politics interesting and is learning the legislative lingo and rules quite well. “I feel that the THIS semester has been one of my most exciting experiences to date.” Tonks has many duties to accomplish during her Harrisburg internship. One duty includes researching and responding to constituent letters ranging from environmental concerns to requests for funding support. Tonks also works on legislation, “I recently wrote legislation that will provide senior citizens a 50 percent discount to state parks and recreational facilities.” She also writes resolutions to be introduced in the House. One such resolution was aimed at congratulating Pennsylvania sports teams for an outstanding season. -moreA member of the State System of Higher Education STUDENT INTERNS AT STATE CAPITOL, Continued Page 2 Tonks is also required to attend an evening seminar on debating the role that media plays in politics. The seminar includes panel speakers and an open format of debate and questions. She also keeps herself busy during her internship experience by volunteering for two organizations. Tonks reads the newspaper on the radio for the Tri-County Association for the Blind. She also volunteers as a friend in training for the Compeer Program. The Compeer Program provides volunteer friends to help individuals with mental illness live happier, more productive lives. This friendship builds confidence and independence in the individual, along with providing a much needed support net. Compeer also educates the general public about mental illness, changing the way people view the mentally ill and removing the stigma. The Compeer Program is a non-profit organization with 115 affiliate programs across the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands. The program has also been proven to help minimize costly hospital care by providing one-to-one friendship relationships with mentally ill patients as an adjunct to therapy. A recent House Resolution named the week of April 16-23, 1995 as Pennsylvania Compeer Week. Another activity that Tonks must participate in as part of her internship in Harrisburg is an independent project. Tonks plans to write the legislation to mandate statewide funding for the Compeer Program, and she has already lined up a representative to sponsor this bill. Eventually, Tonks hopes to implement a Compeer Program in Erie. After completing the THIS semester and graduation, Tonks will be marrying fellow Edinboro student Mark Thomas in August of this year. In addition, she will be attending graduate school and pursuing a degree in clinical psychology at Edinboro University. She will serve as a graduate assistant and student director for the College and High School Alliance for New Growth in Elementary Students (CHANGES) program, which she founded on the Edinboro campus in 1993. The CHANGES program brings together college, high school, and elementary students to improve literacy and promote community service. Eventually, Tonks hopes to earn her doctorate in psychology from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. -30JMC:bja May 5, 1995 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: EDINBORO UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA STUDENT INTERNS AT STATE CAPITOL Tacie Tonks, a senior psychology major at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, is interning through The Harrisburg Internship Semester (THIS) program.

She will be marrying fellow Edinboro student, Mark Thomas on August 19, 1995. In addition, she will be attending graduate school in the Master of Arts program of Clinical Psychology. There she will be a graduate assistant/student director for the CHANGES program, which she founded on the Edinboro campus in 1993.

State System of Higher Education The System Works for Pennsylvania News April 20, 1995 Date: Immediately For Release: Scott K. Shewell Contact: STATE SYSTEM BOARD APPROVES NEW DEGREE PROGRAMS Harrisburg - The State System of Higher Education Board of Governors approved four new degree programs during its January quarterly meeting. A Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.) degree to be offered jointly by Clarion University of Pennsylvania and Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania was approved by the Board. Clarion University and Slippery Rock University currently offer accredited Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs. The new degree builds on these programs to address the need for more mid-level health care practitioners, especially in rural areas of Western Peimsylvania. Several national and state studies have shown a significant need for more mid-level health care providers, especially nurse practitioners, who can provide many primary health care services at a reasonable cost and also make such services available in areas with a shortage of primary care physicians. A 1990 report. National, State, and County Profile ofAmerica^s^^i(%l^ D W H Underserved, indicated that over 16 percent of Pennsylvania's population was r ied^i^y2 MORE Office of the Chancellor Dixon University Center 2986 North Second Street Harrisburg, PA 17110 717-720-4054 717-720-4050 The Universities: Bloomsburg California Cheyney Clarion East Stroudsburg 4 1995 u EDINBORO UNiVERSITY PUBLiC RELATIONS Edinboro Indiana Kutztown Lock Haven Mansfield Millersville Shippensburg Slippery Rock West Chester 2 - - underserved in terms of access to primary health care services. Six Pennsylvania counties were designated as being in "double jeopardy," due to a combination of poor overall health of residents and a shortage of primary care physicians. Two of these counties, Butler and Lawrence, are in the region directly served by Clarion and Slippery Rock Universities and a third, Beaver, is nearby. A 1993 VQ'pori, Healthcare Worlrforce 2000: A Western Pennsylvania Perspective, identified an 8.9 percent shortfall of nurse practitioners in the region. The first of three concentrations proposed for the M.S.N. degree is Family Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care, to be launched in the 1995 fall semester. Plans are to introduce the second concentration in Nursing Education in the 1997 fall semester and the third track in Nursing Administration in the 1998 fall semester. Students will be admitted to the M.S.N. program by a joint Graduate Nursing Admissions Committee. They will be able to register for classes at either university and utilize support services, such as the library, advising, and parking, at both universities. Reinforcing the collaborative nature of the program, the academic transcript and diploma will carry the names of both universities. Clarion University will serve as the primary administrative site and repository of academic records. The five-course core for the M.S.N program has already been coordinated with the equivalent courses in Edinboro University of Pennsylvania's M.S.N. - Family Nurse Practitioner program and further linkages with that program are anticipated over the next three years. Major health care organizations in Butler, Lawrence, and Venango counties have affirmed their support for the collaborative M.S.N. program, as well as the Northwest Pennsylvania Area Health Education Center, which will assist in identifying qualified ambulatory sites for clinical education. MORE 1 A Master of Science in Nursing - Family Nurse Practitioner degree was approved for Millersville University of Pennsylvania. Millersville University has offered the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree since 1979. This program will serve as a foundation for the new graduate program. The M.S.N. - Family Nurse Practitioner is in accord with the System Task Force on Graduate Nursing Education and the principles set forth in the Board of Governor's Health Care Enhancement Initiative. Designed to facilitate part-time study in pursuit of the M.S.N., the degree program includes provisions for cooperation with other System universities and for instruction at distant sites through technology. The M.S.N, program will prepare students for professional practice either as a member of a health care team or in autonomous settings. The availability of increasing numbers of family nurse practitioners will help alleviate deficiencies in health care in Pennsylvania's rural and urban communities. In October 1994, the Board of Governors approved a special purpose appropriation request for the System's Health Care Enhancement initiative. The Board requested $1,000,000 for the first year of a five-year, $5,000,000 program as part of the System's 1995-96 appropriations request to the Governor and the General Assembly. The project is designed to assemble regional consortia to provide more training and instruction for health care providers, especially at mid-levels, across the Commonwealth, with special emphasis on the needs of rural Pennsylvania. These consortia include State System universities and community-based health organizations. Regional nurse practitioner and physician’s assistant programs will be given priority as new programs are developed and offered to students. Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania received approval to begin offering a MORE -4- Master of Science in accniinting degree in the 1996 fall semester. Through the new program, Bloomsburg University is responding in a timely way to changes in the accounting profession. Several years ago, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) began a campaign to persuade state boards of accountancy, which regulate licensure of CPA's, to adopt a 150-credit hour education requirement as the minimum for licensure as a Certified Public Accountant. Currently, more than thirty states have adopted this new requirement; in most cases, it will become effective by the year 2000. After this date, the AICPA will not accept new members who have not completed 150 hours of instruction. While Pennsylvania has not yet adopted recommended legislation, it is likely to do so within the next few years. The proposed program is expected to serve baccalaureate students from other State System and independent colleges in the region, as well as the university's own accounting majors. Bloomsburg University has one of the largest undergraduate accounting programs in northeastern Pennsylvania with between 110 and 150 graduates annually. A Master of Public Administration degree was approved for Slippery Rock University. The program has been developed for students who are already employed full-time in state or local governmental agencies or with private, non-profit organizations. The curriculum is designed to train professional public administrators to apply knowledge and advanced theory to the workplace and to practical problems facing the various publics they serve. The new program offers two options: a 42-credit option, including a three-credit thesis for students who are already employed in a related position; and a 48-credit option, including a six-credit internship for students who have not yet entered the professional workforce. MORE -5The Board also received information regarding a new minor degree program which was reviewed and approved by State System Chancellor James H. McCormick, in accordance with Board policy. A new minor program in women's studies at Edinboro University has been approved. The new minor program is similar to those that have been initiated at several other State System universities in recent years to incorporate knowledge and values related to the contributions of women into the undergraduate curriculum. The interdisciplinary program focuses on women in history, philosophy, and literature, and includes elective courses in psychology, sociology, health, and speech communication. The curriculum is comprised of 21 student credit hours: four required courses, including an Introduction to Women's Studies, and three electives to be selected from 10 courses offered by seven different dppartmpnts, ^T^^a's State System of Higher Education was created on July 1, 1983. The System comprises 14 universities throughout the Commonwealth, enrolling over 94,600 students, 90 percent of whom are Pennsylvania residents. One of every 34 Pennsylvanians is attending a System university or is a System university graduate. And, more than 302,000 System alumni live and work in the state. The State System is the 17th largest employer in the state, with more than 11,000 employees. The 14 state-owned universities include Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock, and West Chester Universities of Permsylvania.

Twice a week, a group of some 25 Edinboro students assisted junior high school students from Cambridge Springs with their homework or tutored them after school. The program was designed to promote the academic achievement of the Cambridge Springs students by developing their organizational and study skills. The Edinboro tutors benefited from the hands-on experience in their field of study. They were members of professor Jerry Dantry’s sophomore field experience classes, or members of the Secondary Education Association or the Student Pennsylvania State Education Association. The program focused on junior high students who needed extra help or motivation because of their difficulty in getting help from the existing peer tutoring program. During Women’s History Month in March, 15 members of Edinboro’s Gamma Sigma Sigma sorority joined with the University’s Americorps representative and volunteer coordinator Susan Wisniewski to clean the Women’s Care Center in Erie. Half of the volunteers stayed inside and cleaned the windows and woodwork. The other half went outside and raked the large yard, bagged leaves and garbage and even cleaned the outdoor grill. Established in 1993, the shelter serves women in need and their children. The residents cook their own meals and have housework duties assigned to them. The women who were at the shelter when the Edinboro group cleaned were appreciative of the help, and the volunteers were happy to help out. “It just makes you feel good to see what has been accomplished for those who are less fortunate,” said one student. -30BKPrbja A member of the State System of Higher Education May 17, 1995 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: EDINBORO STUDENTS PERFORM COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS Student volunteers from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania were involved in two community service projects this semester.

Student voltinteeers from Edinboro University will be assisting Canbridge j^rings High School students with hcnework, or tutoring them in specific subject areas on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, from 3:30 to 4:30 PM at the high school. Edinboro professor Jerry Dantry's Sophitore Field Experience classes, as well as twa Caitpvis organizations (Student Pennsylvania State Education Association and Secondary Education Association) are making this activity a ccmnunity-service opportunity for their mertibers. This program is designed to promote the academic achievement of the students of Cantoridge Springs. It focuses cxi the junior high students because it is difficult for them to get help from the existing peer tutoring program. It helps them develop organizational and study skills. This program also is v^y beneficial to the tutors, providing them with hands-on experience in their field of study. Twenty-five to thirty college students go twice a \reek and work with the students at Cambridge Springs. Edinboro University students are truly couiuitted to this project. It has proven to be a program that is both beneficial to the high school students as well as the university students. WOMEN'S HISTORY fOTTH On March 25, 1995 fifteen of EkJinboro's Gairma Sigma Sigma sisters and Edinboro's Americorps representative and Volunteer Coordinator, Susan t Wisniewski, catpleted a comnunity service project. This grotp of young adults went to the Women's Care Center in Erie, rolled vp their sleeves and did their best at cleaning the entire shelter, inside and out. The groip split i:p, half stayed inside and half went outside. The wonen vdio cleaned inside kept busy cleaning the windows and woodwork. The group who went outside raked the large yard, bagged leaves and garbage, swept and one brave soul cleaned the outdoor grill. There was plenty of work for fifteen pecple to do. Everyone pitched in and worked together. The house looked like a totally new place than the-hon^~ the-student volunteers-had-arrived-at~ear-lier! pcj The Women's Care Center was chosen primarily because of March being designated as Wonen's History Month. The shelter was established in 1993 and it was then that the shelter was named "The Moriah House". The shelter not only serves wcxnen who are in need but also the children of these wonen are welcone at the house. The women cook their own meals and have housewark duties asssigned to them. The women vdio were at the shelter vdien the Edinboro group cleaned were very appreciative of the extra help. The students and the representative from Americorps worked hard and had a good time in the process of helping those who are in ne^. It was a learning experience for all. One of thfr student voluntee^ was quoted as saying, "It just makes you feel good to see vdiat has been accorplished for those vdio are less fortunate".

Thank you for helping us develop more opportunities for helping. JJlij few thoughts on... Changes "Things do not change, \we. change" Thoreau uite simply, our mission as child care providers is to initiate and support change. To understand the value of our work, is to understand the value of change. To be effective, we must be committed to the principle that change holds the potential for growth. We must believe that change and growth are at the center of life. Q Some changes at RCH are readily apparent in con­ crete and visible ways. When we have talked about change it has often been to describe one of our new buildings or programs. These are important tools, for each provides us the opportunity to craft a product of higher quality. To make the best use of these tools, it is important that we now embrace a broader vision - to dream and create together. Ultimately, however, the concept of change must take root and grow within the children and families we serve. The reality, of course, is that we change no one. What we do, and do quite well, is to provide the knowledge and support needed for individuals to change themselves. Many seize the opportunity, and we celebrate their success. Some do not, and change begins anew as we search for new and better ways to be of help. The story of Kit, one of the first dogs accepted onto a RCH residential unit, tells a lot about this process of change. Kit arrived at RCH pretty much untrained. Together, the children and staff of Unit 6 worked patiently day after day to help Kit change her behav­ ior. It was not an easy process and many outside of the unit thought that Kit was not going to make it. Perseverance paid off however, and Kit soon became the unit's pride and Joy. As Kit matured, the man who had donated her saw that she now had the potential to become a profes­ sional field dog. He asked that he be allowed to buy the dog back and give Kit the chance to reach her full natural potential. It was a tough decision, but in the end it was felt that it would be unfair to Kit not to let her go. Kit with former residents Fred & Ben Although only a dog, Kit's experiences of accepting help, rising to meet challenges, experiencing success and then leaving to build a new future, became a simple illustration for the goals of residential care. Our "Home" after all is not really a home for any one. It is a place for change, and it is a place to leave when change has been accomplished. And indeed, in our most recent group of youth leaving, one can see the dream of change realized. Where there was once a feeling of defeat and help­ lessness there is now a steadily increasing sense of hopeful potential. We have provided an environment where change is possible and desirable, and these children have made it their own. And now we begin again. The Newsletter of the Randolph Children's Home Officers of the Board of Trustees Co-editors: James G. Mruk, President Joseph C. Gallagher Edmund J. Harvey, Vice President Tod D. Huffmani Michael A. Patton, Treasurer * ■ ■ Brad L Sande v^' Andrew H. Dickson, Secretary ' - Sam Passamonte Around 100 children live at the home. 35 kids are now in the dog training program, ranging in age from 11-17. The animal assisted therapy program is about 2 years old. There have been studies down with pets and the elderly that when pets are around, people are more tranquil and their blood pressure is lower. We want to try it with children, do research and compile some actual numbers. A lot of the children here have emotional problems. The whole animal program includes dogs, horses, rabbits, ferrets, birds and goats. They have 10 dogs now, all are registered, with setters, pointers and retrievers. Sam is project manager. Was in charge of the girls unit for 18 years. Less hyperactive when the dogs are around. Kids who are upset turn to the dogs for emotional support. Sometimes the dogs will go up to the kids who are emotionally upset. We often have a puppy in the office. When a child comes in to be admittedhe or she is often upset or withdrawn. The puppy often causes them to open up. It breaks the ice. Many of the students have trouble relating to adults, some have been abused. A large number of the residents are from Buffalo and Niagra Falls. Some are frightened at first because they only dogs they know are guard dogs or attack dogs. Most get over their fear quickly. The kids learn a lot from interacting with the animals. Food is donated by Dads Dog Food. George Kelly Has been raising and training bird dogs a long time. He was at a training seminar where a man from Jamestown, (Bill McFadden) told him about the Randolph program. They needed animals. They had been using horses but they are expensive and not as responsive as dogs. Kelly got interested because he likes dogs and kids, he has a 3-year old son. I wanted to contribute to something that I have an interest in. The dogs are of several different breeds. They stay in the residential units where they live and interact with them. Intercity children. They can see results. Some of the reactions. The kids, the The joy in their faces and in their expressions. They feel good about themselves because they're doing something right. Many of the children grow up in a stressful environment. A lot of children don't know how to interact. It;s a real challenge. A lof them are sullen and withdrawn. But they become more open. We show them how to train the dogs. Obedience - sit, stay, — a lot of it is repetitive. They are responsible for caing for the dogs - groom, clean and feed them. They have responsibilities. Dogs are assigned to residential housing units. They adopt a particular dog. Bill McFadden goes over four days a week. Kelly donated two English Setters. He is an avid hunter and has been interested in bird dogs since grad school. Before coming to Edinboro he was with Ducks Unlimited. Some dogs don't take to it very well and are removed from the program. Dogs can be very friendly, trainable, and human oriented. -j'f;^ u^^L-rt ^ B t'rlTV - «Y (y/(,) 3S^-3Q3Q (ys^r 4^(3_43V/mP /OO ■^TjAvl^rv. ?(UtA«^ G,o ^lU l/l0i jooT ii' (H ?lU>w/ir QI-fT,^ _ ('H ^flfU'L 'r(UV^ t>o jv>. f'U>fb ■pHOT(0)U/Wvy JZCU6-^7^^ fM^^AXJrv, r T7rt£/ o^ Cv.Q>/K V Wc/^^il ^ %u/u, I ^ ^ • j;^ — tc»/ )fl c,ff^OD ^ t>OAA 4?^ 5f^pOCo^ , • ^0-^>^r>c^e /y\er\-/ _____ Bob Wallace, ENN Lake Shore Visitor Spectator MillcreekSun V ____ Thought You'd Like to Know ____ Erie Arts Council Greenville Record-Argus ____ Meadville Council on the Arts North East Breeze nunittee also agreed forward to the summer delibera­ rhedule for the search," tions."

When we entered kindergarten, we started to interact with people other than our parents. classmates Our new environment consisted of teachers, and friends. through elementary We were school, in a junior high "society". school and Then we went high school. Each of these experiences provided different challenges. I believe most of us would have experienced the struggling process before going to college.

When I decided to come to the United States, I was afraid of leaving my parents, and the environment that was familiar. Distance obstacles prevented me from visiting Edinboro before applied here. I I was very worried about being unable to adapt to the new environment and to make friends. Well, I was not the only one who was challenged. My parents were also challenged by the bitterness of sending their seventeenyear-old girl to a place far and away. Although they had many more worries than I had, they still believed it was time to let go their daughter— otherwise she would never grow up. learning to deal with challenges And so here I am, independently and to be responsible for myself. As I had expected, I was confronted here in my freshman year at Edinboro with a challenge to communicate with professors. still remember that in one of my business classes, I the professor noticed my weakness in communication skills and always encouraged me to explain the concepts orally in front of class. By doing so, I made great improvements not only in my communication skills, but academically. My interpersonal through team projects, skills were further sharpened club activities and the speech program in Leader Clinic for international students. active, friendly, and talkative.

I was no longer a girl sitting at the corner silently, or talking about tests and homework seriously. It is amazing how much an environment can change a person. Psychologist|J. B.

And I would never forget the Hui continuous support and advice from my parents and 4 professors. Besides the challenges of adapting to a new environment, I also had challenges of exploring different subjects during my study at Edinboro. I used to concentrate my study on Physics, Biology and Chemistry in high school. However, when I applied to Edinboro, I decided to major in Business/Accounting, a field completely new to me. It was a big challenge since I did not even have Economics or Accounting courses in high school. I didn't even know whether I would like Accounting when I made the decision. "Try and see what will happen" was the only thing in my mind at that time. flexible American educational system allows me to change The major anyway, so why not try? The system also emphasizes general education, which provides students with numerous access to different subjects and fields and therefore various challenges in study. may not have potential such challenging In some countries, students opportunities in subjects other than their major. to explore their For example, I always keep in touch with my high school friends in Hong Kong and England with Internet, an information super-highway that provides communication with other universities around the world.

After we, studies, college? as honors students, have enjoyed our challenging it is almost time to graduate. What should we do after I believe many of us have been thinking about this for a long while. In my case, I am facing not only the challenge of finding a job, but also the challenge of deciding where to start my career. Portuguese sovereignty of Macau will be returned to China in 1999. Many people are worried about the uncertain and unstable social environment under Chinese Government's control, and they seek every opportunity to migrate to other countries. I have been asking myself, "Should I go back when everybody is trying to leave?" The environment of Macau may or may not change dramatically, but in any case, I know challenges. there will be many opportunities along with American politician J.E. Hedges says, "Lots of people know a good thing the minute the other fellow sees it first." I should be the pioneer to accept those challenges and turn them into opportunities. graduation. So I have made up my mind to go back to Macau after Hui 6 Having experienced such a struggling process, I discover that our real challenges in life begin after graduating from college. We are about to explore a new environment—our society, which will provide us with opportunities. various challenges American author Alfred A. and lifelong learning Montapert says, "If your education consists only in what you got from books, it will not be complete until you^ve had a postgraduate course "Life in_^xperlence." is a great continuing and inspiring adventure...You until your last breath." learn our journey of life, we learfi i^ullenges if we seize’fhe Bjp^rtunities to be challenged. The former British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli says, "The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." I am sure our education at Edinboro University as honors students has prepared us for further challenges. Let's take a deep breath and get ready for that most important course yet to come—Experience 101!
