Provost Ginnetti' s report on behalf of the Academic Affairs Committee was distributed via
written report to Dr. Moran and membersof the Council (Attachment #3).
The Acting Chair thanked Provost Ginnetti for the presentationof action items and report
on behalf of the Academic Affairs Committee. Ms. Crow askedto interrupt the business
proceedings to request permission for those in attendanceprimarily to attend the initial public
comment sessionto excusethemselves. Permissionwas acknowledged and the group quietly
exited the meeting.
A report on behalf of the Communications and Marketing Committee was delivered by Mr.
Jeff Pinski on behalf of Committee Chair Manning. Mr. Pinski reported that he and
Dr. Moran had met with Trustees Manning and Thomas earlier in the day. He noted a productive
meeting talking about the goals and objectives of this division. While most perceive summerto be
a slow time, this is not the case in this division particularly with the loss of several key staff
members (Amy Neil and impending departureof Ron Cox). He noted that on May 26, Edinboro
hosted the 20thGolden Apple Award Banquet in collaboration with WJET. That evening 32
teachers were honored who were recipients of the Golden Apple Award during the 2010-11 school
year. Angel Gaston, 4thgrade social studies teacher from Lake City's Elk Valley Elementary
School was named Teacher of the Year. A 30-minute wrap-up program was aired last Saturday
(full Y2hour) produced by WJET which featured all 32 teachersand the awards banquet. Edinboro
University plans to continue this valuable promotion of Golden Apple Award program through
2011-12 school year. Negotiations are underway with WJET to finalize the terms of the
agreement. For the past several years, the selection process Teacherof the Year has beenelevated
making it less subjective and more objective. With input from Interim PresidentMoran,
Communications and Marketing will be looking at new ways to promote Edinboro's presencein
Erie and Meadville drawing more attention to their branch campus locations. Edinboro University
is also in the processof promoting the year-long observanceof the 85thanniversary of Women's
Athletics at Edinboro. A golf outing was held on June 6 with proceeds going to women student
athletics scholarships. The signature event of this observancewill be held on Saturday, September
17. The Celebration Dinner will feature co-anchor of ABC's Good Morning America, Robin
Roberts. In terms of Marketing, Ron Cox has a number of advertising promotions underway as
well as through social media outlets which continue to be highly effective and successful
marketing tools. Edinboro currently boastsmore than 7,350 Facebookfans and more than 2,000
followers on Twitter including, and verified by Twitter, Barrack Obama, Lady Gaga, Lance
Armstrong and Smokey Robinson. Mr. Pinski reported two major marketing priorities, the
development of Edinboro University's Annual Report and the publication of the next edition of the
Edinboro University Magazine. The Annual Report is being developed in conjunction with the
local advertising firm and our aggressivepre-press production schedule calls for product

following highlights from his areaof responsibility:
COMMUNITY

.In

SERVICE

April, the ResidenceLife andHousingOffice sponsored"A Day without Shoes."
Membersof the campuscommunitywereinvited to participatein a brisk walk around
campusin orderto raiseawarenessaboutpoverty,specifically,the numberof people
who go without shoeson a daily basis. Many campusparticipantschoseto walk
shoelessthemselves.Donationscollectedthat dayassistedwith the purchaseof shoes
for regionalhomelesschildren.

\

.Our
fraternities and sororities recently completed their secondannual Craze for a
Cure, benefiting the Kanzius Cancer ResearchFoundation. Participants raised
approximately $700 for this foundation.
.The
3rdAnnual Student-Athlete Auction raised over $1,600 for the Make-A-Wish
Foundation.
.In
responseto our local, regional, and national blood shortages,blood drives were
coordinated every month during the spring semesterfor the American Red Cross, the
Central Blood Bank, and the Community Blood Bank.

STUDENT DEVELOPMENT SUPPORTSERVICES
.The
13thAnnual Health Fair was hosted on April 6. There were approximately 665
faculty, staff, and studentsin attendance,which is a new record for this event.
Approximately 75 community and campus agencieswere presentto share health and
wellness information with our campus community.
.Student Health Services continues to partner with the Erie County Department of
Health to provide free STD testing and treatment to all University students. This
year, approximately 275 studentswere tested through a GYT (Get Yourself Tested)
collaboration with the health department.
.In
support of the University's commitment to educating people about the challenges
encounteredby people with disabilities, the Office for Students with Disabilities
(OSD) hosted a disability awarenessprogram entitled, "Pushing the Limits." At this
event, people were given an opportunity to spendthe day in a wheelchair and
navigate various areasof campus.
.Our
Greek Life office has concluded a five-year review of fraternity/sorority grade
point averagesto assessthe impact that first semesterfreshman intake (pledging) has
on fraternity/sorority freshman GPAs. Although our findings indicated concerns
among the GPAs of first semestermale initiates, we were not comfortable stating that
the disparity in GPAs was attributed solely to pledging. However, when the data was
shared with the fraternity/sorority governing boards, they adopted an action plan that
included:
.The
designation of a scholarship chairperson for eachorganization;
.A
written scholarshipplan for any organization that falls below minimum
standards;and
.The
suspensionand/or revocation of campus recognition of any chapter
whose first semesterinitiates continue to fall below minimum standards.
.Nationally,
most attrition ("dropping out" or "stopping out") occurs during a student's
lower division years. It is very common for universities to invest significant efforts
on a student's first year of enrollment, and then lose studentsto the "sophomore
slump" that often occurs when sophomore studentsdistancethemselves from
university support services. In an effort to combat the sophomore slump, the
University has instituted a second-yearhousing requirement for the incoming
freshman class.
Sophomorehousing requirements are becoming increasingly more common on
university campusesaround the country. Within our own PASSHE institutions, twoyear housing requirements are already in place on the Millersville, Mansfield, and
California campuses. Locally, four-year housing requirements are in place at
Westminster and Allegheny Colleges.

~

Weare happy to report that institutional retention data shows an upward trend in the
persistenceof studentswho remain in campushousing for two consecutive years.
This is promising, as currently, more than half of the sophomore class already resides
in university housing.
A two-year residential experience assistsstudents with their transition to college life
by providing them with easyaccessto campus activities and support staff, and
increased contact with faculty advisors through living learning communities. All of
these factors are highly correlated with studentsuccess.
We look forward to working with our residential students for an additional year as we
work tostudents
changeremain
the campus
cultureseven
from days
that of
a "suitcase"
to anininstitution

.Also
in support of studentretention, we have changedthe format of our summer
orientation program. In place of our historical full-day summer orientation sessions
that were offered approximately 12 times throughout the summer months, we are
piloting a new initiative that brings studentsand families to campus for half day
registration sessions. In addition, freshman studentswill move in three days prior to
the returning students (August 25 -28) for academic and student success
programming. During this precious time alone with the new students,we will work
to instill a senseof campus pride, school spirit, and establish new campus traditions.

FUNDRAISIN Gill EVELO PMENT
.A

$35,000 grant was recently awarded by the Charlotte Newcombe Foundation to our
Office for Students with Disabilities. These funds will be used to provide scholarship
assistanceto our students.
.In
addition, OSD received a $2,000 grant from Wal-mart to help with the costs of the
secondAnnual Disabilities Conference.
.The
Ninth Annual Sports Memorabilia Auction raised over $25,000 and featured
former Pittsburgh SteelersHall ofFamer, Franco Harris. Approximately 300 items
were auctioned that evening. The evening also featured Pittsburgh Steeler's radio
