Description of Revisions/Reasons

This minor draws on courses from many departments to offer an interdisciplinary
approach to the study of leadership. Students would be required to take one
foundational course: LEAD 202 (Introduction to Leadership Studies), which has a
sophomore standing, and provides an overview of relevant theories in leadership.
Students then select one course from the following categories: Presentational Skills;
Interpersonal/Group Skills; Organizational Change Skills; Community Engagement
Skills; and Critical Thinking Skills. The minor totals 18 credits.
When the Bachelor of Arts-Art History program was placed on moratorium, 60
semester hours of Art History coursework, including related cognates were required.
During the time the program has been in moratorium, PASSHE Policy 1990-06-A:
Academic Degrees has mandated that BA degree programs have no more than 42
semester hours of required major coursework, including required cognates. Upon
review, the Art Department determined that the degree program may be effectively
delivered in a way that meets the PASSHE mandate by selectively deleting some Art
History required courses and by recommending, rather than requiring, specific related
cognates. The deleted coursework may, if desired, be taken as Free Electives, and the
deleted cognates may, if desired be taken as Free Electives, or to meet appropriate
General Education requirements. The program is recommended for reactivation since
the new program requirements align with ARHI course requirements in existing BFA
programs, resulting in no additional cost in the offering of this program, while
providing a fall back major to Art students.

Description of Revisions/Reasons

This revision adds MATH 106 Trigonometry (or MATH 107 Pre-Calculus) as a
prerequisite to MFGT 225 (Statistics and Strengths of Materials). MFGT 100
(Manufacturing Processes) replaces MFGT 101 (Manufacturing Process I) and MFGT
102 (Manufacturing Process II) which are no longer taught. ENGR 201 (Engineering
Graphics) replaces MFGT 110 (Technical Drawing I) and MFGT 111 (Technical
Drawing II) which are no longer taught. MFGT 320 (Cost Estimating) and MFGT 370
(Motion and Time Study) are no longer required, and are replaced by 6 semester hours
of MFGT 300+level electives. The accumulation of these changes require 19 semester
hours, whereas the original minor required 20 semester hours.
This revision fulfills the changing expectations of the Advance Practice Nurse and
professional nursing accrediting associations, specifically the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
This revision to the Health Studies Minor adds course HPE 241 (Stress Management)
and removes course HPE 265 (Health Emergencies) to the list of course options
required for the minor.
This minor now allows two tracks which differ in their introductory physics sequence
and their math prerequisites. Track I requires MATH 211 (Analytical
Geometry/Calculus I) and MATH 212 (Analytical Geometry/Calculus II); Track II
requires MATH 106 (Trigonometry) or MATH 107 (Pre-Calculus). The revision
requires 12 credits of Astronomy courses from a menu of 18 credits of Astronomy,
including an advanced optics course in physics. This brings the minor into compliance
with PASSHE Policy 1985-01-A, specifically the 18 credit minimum, and simplifies
the course requirements for the minor.
This revision removes MATH 211 (Analytical Geometry/Calculus I) and MATH 212
(Analytical Geometry/Calculus II) from the prerequisites. PHYS 150 (Physics
Orientation) was retained as a prerequisite, but permission of instructor was allowed to
substitute. This brings the minor into compliance with PASSHE Policy 1985-01-A,
specifically the 18 credit minimum.

Office of the Vice President for Finance and Administration

During the final quarter of the fiscal year, the Office of Finance and Administration focused on
two major projects in addition to the business of preparing to close the fiscal year: (1) developing
a financial plan to bring the institution’s operating budget into equilibrium by Fiscal Year (FY)
2019, and (2) the acquisition of the Highlands through an advance refunding utilizing
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania general obligation bonds. Enrollment results as of May 1
suggested that budget revenue projections for FY 2017 were significantly overstated; the
University had already planned to reduce expenditures by $3 million and it became clear that
additional reductions would be required to minimize the use of fund balance to support
operations. Based on revised enrollment projections the University settled on a three year plan to
bring the budget into balance via $5 million gap closure measures in FY 2017, an additional $4.5
million in FY 2018 and an additional $3.6 million for FY 2019.
Refinancing of the Highlands is being coordinated by PASSHE Legal Counsel together with
bond counsel for the Foundation, Foundation legal counsel and in coordination with Wells
Fargo, the Trustee for the current bond indentures. The Office of Finance and Administration has
served as the primary University representative to this transaction. Approvals have been sought
and received by the PASSHE Board of Governors for issuance of new bonds providing for an
advance refunding of the current bonds with the closing scheduled for early September. The
University anticipates realizing significant savings in interest payments based on more favorable
interest rates. The new bonds are being structured to mirror the remaining term of the current
bonds (i.e., no years are being added to the repayment period).

Budget

Budget Office in conjunction with Accounting Office completed the April projection for the
fiscal year. Prepared, disseminated all operating budget packets for Fiscal Year 2017.
Reviewed, analyzed and entered budgets into the SAP financial system by the end June for the
start of the fiscal year. Attended several meetings with the ELT staff as monthly as “Closing the
Budget Gap” discussions ensued.
Worked closely with Provost and Deans to produce the FY 2017 Academic Personnel Plan that
contains the budgeted FTE for the upcoming fiscal year for faculty. Worked with Human
Resources office to review all open positions, pending retirement/resignations to ensure 2017
budget is correct.
In May, revised 2017 enrollment projection numbers, which in turn, caused all revenues to be
recalculated. Failed employment search for the much needed analyst position to be shared
between the Institutional Research and Budget offices.

Facilities Management and Planning

The space study and analysis being prepared by Paulien Associates is nearing completion
and is scheduled to be presented to the University in August. The analysis will attempt to
identify opportunities for space consolidation and efficiencies which will lower facilities
operating cost.
Several sidewalk replacement projects have been underway this summer to repair aging
and damaged sidewalks on campus. These include sidewalks near Reeder Hall, the
library, and at the Police Station.
The renovations to the second floor of Dearborn Hall are nearly complete and the
departments of English and Philosophy, and Sociology will be relocated after August 1,
2016. The rooms have been converted from vacant residence space by removing built-in
bedroom furniture, patching, painting, and the installation of new carpeting. A new
central department office and student lounge space was created just off of the elevator.
This project will complete the evacuation of Centennial Hall.
The Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS) and the Pennsylvania
Historical Commission have approved the disposal of Miller Education Center and
Centennial Hall which clears the way for the University to make plans and accept bids to
demolish these two aging facilities.
A multitude of deferred maintenance projects have been underway utilizing funds
provided by the Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund of 1993 (Key ’93).
The act is funded from a portion of real estate transfer taxes and help fund deferred
maintenance projects for a number of commonwealth agencies including the State
System of Higher Education. The facilities department is utilizing these funds to replace
aging equipment and systems, repair deteriorating infrastructure, address safety and
accessibility issues, and make improvements which are otherwise unable to be funded.
The sidewalk replacement project mentioned above is an example of a Key ’93 project.

Purchasing and Contracts
Since April 2016, the Purchasing Office has reviewed multiple agreements and contracts,
processed multiple bids including janitorial supplies, football equipment, elevator maintenance
and repairs, and also processed many purchase orders and service purchase contracts.
• Facility related issues - Service contracts have been awarded for various services
including waste removal, elevator maintenance services, multiple Community Music
School instrument lesson contracts, speaker agreements and continuing education
agreements. Work orders against open-ended agreements for asbestos removal and
project design services were also issued. Construction contracts were awarded and
approved for the Library Learning Commons renovation.
• Other agreements - The Purchasing Office has fully executed multiple agreements
including agreements for weather camera installation, online database subscriptions,
various library subscriptions, Dropbox for Education subscription; and Affiliation
Agreements including University Hospitals, Lee Memorial and Our Lady of Lourdes
among many others. Several facility use agreements were executed as well.
• Staff development – The Purchasing office attended the Spring
Procurement/Construction Conference April 20-22, 2016 where various ideas and topics
were discussed.
Student Government Association (SGA)
• Associate Vice President for Financial Operations continued his role as University
Supervisor to the Student Government Association (SGA). Recent work includes the
oversight of annual budget process, review and balancing of the budget for presentation
to the President.
• Clarified understanding of SGA fund balance and short term financial planning needs
with SGA Director of Operations; worked to revise and publicize the amount of funds
available for fund balance expenditure proposals.
• Finalized employee contracts and new employee benefits for SGA staff; retained legal
services for the next fiscal year.
• The new Executive Board for SGA officially took office at the end of April; held initial
meeting with group to begin to set the tone for the upcoming fiscal year.
• Discussions with PASSHE legal and University administration on changing the structure
of the relationship between the SGA and EU have basically come to a halt. The structure
created by Act 188 basically results in a situation where the University would need to
dissolve the SGA completely and start over with a new organization in order to have any
direct involvement in the supervision of the staff and control of SGA funding. The
attorneys have advised us not to proceed with such a plan for various reasons.

Institutional Research

The Office of Institutional Research has been spending much of its time on fiscal analysis,
enrollment projections, future plans, and leadership transition.
Accomplishments:
• Developed a new enrollment projection in May based upon the data we had gathered to
this point in time. As most enrollment numbers become stagnant on May 1, we realized
about 80% of our growth by the middle of the month. These projections allowed to
budget appropriately for FY17. These enrollment numbers have been presented to the
ELT, Budget and Planning Team, and SEM (Strategic Enrollment Management).
• Purchased and implemented Rapid Insights analysis software. The tool allows us to link
directly to our student information system (Banner) and extract information for analysis
and predictive analytics. This will allow us to identify at risk students, applicants likely
to enroll, and who our competitors are for perspective students.
• Working on submitting end of spring term files as well as first summer files (reports) to
the System.
• IR has continued its goal for improved data and assessment across campus.
o Working with CITO (Chief Information Technology Officer) Karen Murdzak, a

Facilities Management and Planning
Supplement to Annual Report

Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
Facilities Management and Planning Annual Report 2016

Executive Summary
July 20, 2016

The following report is a supplement to the 2015 facilities report and serves as an update of the condition of the
facilities at Edinboro University. Contained in the report you will find information related to capital projects
and major deferred maintenance initiatives which were undertaken in the past fiscal year, some of which are
ongoing, and a description of improvements to the grounds and infrastructure. Additionally, an updated building
condition report is attached which lists all the buildings on the main campus and at Porreco College categorized
by their condition related to age and last major renovation, the overall size of the buildings, and identifies the
most urgent maintenance concerns for each.

Capital Projects Update
The Rose Hall passenger elevator project was started last summer and is nearing completion. The contractors
are finishing the work on the entry to the lobby addition, which includes a new accessible ramp, and the project
will conclude in time for the fall semester. The new passenger elevator will allow better access to the four
floors of the building for all students, especially the large population of disabled students who reside in this
residence hall. The elevator addition will architecturally resemble the clock tower located at the corner of
Meadville and Normal streets which is reminiscent of Normal Hall which burned in the 1960s.
Planning and design was completed for the Library Learning Commons which will be located on the second
floor of the Baron-Forness Library. The Learning Commons will serve as a central location for students to
access the departments of Academic Success, Career Services, and International Student Services. A portion of
the second floor will be completely refurbished to provide offices, meeting spaces, tutoring rooms and a testing
center which will be located in a space which is efficient and inviting. The project is slated for completion in the
spring of 2017.
Planning and design continues on a project to replace 14 medium voltage switchgear across campus. This
infrastructure upgrade will replace the switches which have caused a number of campus wide power outages in
the past several years. The project will be scheduled in the summer of 2017 and will be completed during nights
and weekends to minimize the disruption to campus operations. This project will complement the recently
completed upgrades to the electrical substation which was outfitted with a state-of-the-art Real-Time
Automation Controller (RTAC) in the spring of 2016. The new RTAC will provide monitoring, automatic
switching, and alarming on the 8 medium voltage power feeds to campus which will greatly improve the
operation of the campus-wide medium voltage power distribution system by allowing facilities staff to remotely
access the substation controls across the campus data network. Switching of power feeds during utility
disruptions which previously necessitated power outages will now be accomplished remotely without
interrupting the flow of electricity.

2015 Edinboro University Facilities Report

The renovation of the second floor of Dearborn Hall is in the final stages and the offices of the departments of
English & Philosophy and Sociology will be relocated into their new home there in August. The renovation
included the removal of built-in residence hall furnishings, patching and painting of walls, ceiling and floor
repairs, and new carpeting throughout the space. The relocation of these departments from Centennial Hall will
finalize the evacuation of that facility.
Other small projects include the construction of a fenced patio seating area outside the main dining hall at Van
Houten. Along with patio, the concrete walkway and entrance to the dining hall have been replaced to provide
a primary entry to the dining hall which is accessible and convenient, eliminating the need for patrons to walk
down stairwells or take the small elevator from the first floor. Planned improvements to the dining hall also
include a face lift of the interior and reconfiguration of the serving areas to provide a more efficient and modern
facility which will help attract and retain students. Partnering with Chartwells, we hope to have these changes
complete for the spring 2017 semester.
We have taken the first step towards updating the campus master plan by retaining the services of Paulien
Associates to produce a campus space utilization study and analysis. This study will identify each assignable
space throughout the main campus and Porreco College and compile the information into a central database.
Paulien will analyze the use of each space and compare it with the PASSHE space guidelines to determine how
to optimize the use of the available space and also consolidate space in order to reduce the amount of excess
space on campus. This study will be used to help plan future renovations, construction, relocations, and closings
of buildings on both campuses.

Deferred Maintenance
The facilities department has been focusing utilizing funds provided under the Keystone, Park, and
Conservation Fund Act of 1993 (Key93) to reduce the backlog of deferred maintenance issues. Key ’93
provides the opportunity for us to replace aging and often failing systems, structures, and equipment which have
been neglected due to the lack of operating funds. Typical projects include the replacement of failing boilers, air
handling units, roofs, and plumbing systems, the repair of chillers and rooftop packaged heating and air
conditioning equipment, upgrading of lighting systems to LED, replacement of energy management controls,
and replacement of damaged and deteriorating sidewalks.
Future initiatives will include a building roof and envelope study to identify and prioritize the weatherproofing
needs of buildings. Once the priorities are identified we will launch a project to replace roofs, repair and
repoint exterior brick walls, caulk or replace windows, and improve the exterior facades of buildings. This
maintenance work will help preserve the integrity of the structures as well as reduce damage caused to the
interior of buildings and reduce the cost of maintenance in the long term.
Energy efficiency projects are also a priority and we will continue to make improvements which will reduce
energy consumption at the university long into the future. Several buildings have domestic hot water systems
which are heated with costly electricity and therefore will be converted to natural gas. These include Dearborn
Hall, Earp Hall, Hendricks Hall and McComb Fieldhouse.

2015 Edinboro University Facilities Report

Grounds Maintenance
We continue to invest resources into the improvement to the grounds at the university. Our goal is to make the
best first impression we can when visitors travel to our campus. Exterior projects include sidewalk
replacements, exterior lighting improvements, and planting bed improvements. Future initiatives include the
resurfacing and line painting of parking lots and roads which will enhance the appearance of the campus and
also help reduce the deterioration and extend the lifecycle of the asphalt surfaces.

I am looking forward to the year ahead and excited to see the improvements to the grounds and buildings on
both campuses. The facilities department’s goal remains to provide the most efficient, sustainable, well
maintained, and beautiful university in the region and in the state system. We endeavor to help attract new
students, retain our current students, and provide an enjoyable place to live, learn, and work.

Director of Facilities Management and Planning

2016 Building Condition Report

Introduction
This report is prepared each year by the Facilities Department with a view to help the Council of Trustees
in its annual tour and inspection of the physical plant. The attached report categorizes each building
according to its physical condition, taking into cognizance the year it was built or last renovated. All
known major defects or deficiencies identified have been assigned an approximate dollar value.

General Condition
The physical plant continues to support the mission of the University adequately and presents a safe,
supportive, and aesthetically pleasing environment conducive to learning. The planning process is
inclusive and caters to both short- and long-range needs of the facilities. Deferred maintenance needs,
though high, are within an acceptable range considering funding levels. Ongoing construction activity
on campus is based on careful planning as documented in the Facilities Master Plan.

STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
•

The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) held its inaugural Summer College Academy which was
designed to introduce the college experience to students with Asperger's and Autism Spectrum
Disorders. The staff from OSD worked closely with personnel from the Northwest Tri-County
Intermediate Unit, the local area school districts, the Autism Society of NW Pennsylvania and the
Pennsylvania Department of Education to identify appropriate students. Seven students graduated.
Throughout the course of the Academy, students were introduced to a variety of activities which
included classroom experiences and those that would help them develop independent living skills. At the
end of the Academy, each student received an evaluation that they would share with their parents,
teachers and other school personnel. The evaluations highlighted strategies for students to incorporate
into their Individual Educational Plans (IEP) to help them to continue to develop skills that will
prioritize independence, self-advocacy, communication, and academic skills.

•

ROTC commissioned 1 cadet on July 17, 2016.

•

The National Association of College and University Residence Hall (NACURH) was held during the
week of June 27 at the University of Delaware. The administrative and graduate advisor as well as five

The Residence Life and Housing staff is working on fall training for graduate and undergraduate live-in
staff members. This training is accomplished over two weeks in August, prior to the start of the
academic year. A variety of topical, developmental and skills-based sessions are included. Training
will also include a community service project. Plans are being made to collect non-perishable food
items that will be given to the campus food pantry.

•

Peer Educators conducted sex double dare, condom bingo, sex pictionary, and other sex education
classes for 189 students in the spring semester.

Marketing & Communications:
Marketing:
Marketing Initiatives for Recruitment/Admissions and General Awareness:
• Continued solid year-round behavior retargeting digital Undergraduate
campaign. Combined in-state and out-of-state impressions produced nearly 36,000 clickthroughs to EU website, at a solid click-through rate of .14%. (Industry standard is in the
range of .10 to .20)
o Currently finalizing expanded digital marketing contract for the upcoming
recruiting season that will establish new efforts:
• Keyword contextual retargeting
• Site and search retargeting (including competitors)
• Geo-fencing retargeting

Developed test online/mobile campaign for EU that highlighted various academic
programs and activities. New ad naming system allowed us to track results of content and
size. Average click-through rates across all ads were high at .23%, with certain ads
producing as high as .65%.
Developed new online/mobile campaign for Porreco College, including strong push on
Aeronautics program. Also used ad naming system to track results of content and size.
Average click-through rates so far have been as high at .82%, with certain ads producing
a stellar 1.70%.
Continued solid year-round behavior retargeting digital Graduate School campaign.
School of Graduate Studies had not done a retargeting campaign like this in the past. The
effort produced an industry standard click-through rate of .10% and yielded positive
traffic to the Graduate School landing page.
Completed email campaign for School of Graduate Studies. We handled this internally
which saved money and yielded strong results. Example email blast produced an 11%
open rate (industry standard is 8-10%), and a stellar email click-through rate of 3.6%
(industry standard .4 - .6%). We are in the planning stages for the next campaign to
launch in August.
Assisted Undergraduate Admissions with various event and recruitment emails. Example
blast for spring Open House yielded a 13.1% open rate and a .7% click-through rate, both
solid results.
Began overall marketing plan for new fiscal year. Within current avenues we are
exploring options of additional online/mobile, bookend :15 second TV ads, alternative
outdoor billboard locations, and campaigns dedicated to adult and transfer students.
Worked with Admissions to establish solid communication plan for yearly recruitment
cycle.
Scheduled meetings with local high school guidance counselors to gather information and
feedback for our new view book. This insight has already been incorporated in the
development of the view book and other recruitment materials. These meetings also
produced interesting overall feedback about EU which was shared with EU leadership.
Produced mini footballs to be sent to many local high schools. These will be thrown into
the crowd at all home football games for fun and EU brand awareness. Admissions will
coordinate delivery with their usual fall visits.
Summer Session advertising and mailings to increase enrollment. (No solid stats
available at the time of this report, but understand numbers were up from last year.)
Working with Admissions and the individual schools to develop the remaining school
brochures in a similar layout to the School of Education publication.
Established EU SkyCam Weather Camera in partnership with WJET-TV. The camera is
mounted on top of McComb Fieldhouse with 360 degree capability to show various

angles of campus. The program also gives us a landing page on YourErie.com for various
promotions.
• Currently finalizing plans for upcoming campaigns:
o Continued movie theater advertising, including in-lobby, in-theater, and a new
retargeting digital component
o Tabletop advertising in local restaurant venues
o Renewed SportsFever TV contract to advertise during fall football games
Event Promotion:
• Porreco Gala in the Orchard - Promotional materials to drive registration for the event;
includes invitation, email, sponsorship form, signage, etc.
• Highland Games – Incorporated new festival logo (designed by EU graphic design
students) into marketing materials.
• Homecoming - Brand updated with new theme in order to garner more student and
community involvement. Current EU students were surveyed on proposed themes in
order to gain feedback on which would interest them the most.
• Speech-Language Pathology annual conference “Save the Date" sent to potential
attendees.
Web Initiatives:
• Continued to drive strong web traffic to EU site. Within the last recruiting cycle,
measured from September 1 2015, we have seen solid web traffic (nearly 500,000
individual users, and an extremely good bounce rate). Our bounce rate has been overall
great at 26.47% since the launch of the redesigned site in February 2015, compared to
bounce rates on the previous site upwards of 62.36%.
• Tracked behavior to the “Apply Now” page and presented the results to EU leadership.
Since September 1, 2015, we have seen well over 19,000 individual user page views,
with an exit rate of 58.29%. This is good, since our application is not housed on the EU
site, we want viewers to exit the “Apply Now” page in hopes they are continuing through
to the application.
• Tracked results to the …/admissions/thank-you page, which is the page viewers land on
after completing an inquiry for more information. Since September 1, 2015 there have
been 2,518 individual page views, which means a strong number of completed inquiries.
• Working with Admissions to enhance the EU virtual tour in order to increase future
student engagement prior to coming to campus, or in the absence of having an actual
campus tour by Admissions
o Photographing and adding interactive 360° images of interiors and exteriors of
campus buildings and hot spots
o Developing a way for the virtual tour to interact with visitors as they hit certain
areas of campus
• Worked with Continuing Education to simplify their web presence and add new
enrichment course offerings; created marketing materials for new enrichment courses and
promoted via social media.
• Updated the website to reflect the changes to the departments under the College of Arts,
Humanities, and Social Sciences. Collaborated with Information Technology and Human
Resources offices to update the directory listing and the majors and programs listings on
the web.

Working with Residence Life and Housing to transfer content from the old Highlands
website into our system, since the procurement of the Highlands will allow us to house
the content on our servers. The Foundation will no longer have to contract with an
outside agency to maintain those pages.
Created first EU SnapChat filter focused around Open House.

Additional Initiatives:
• Summer camps promotion through online/mobile, print and digital outdoor.
• Remodel of interior of Admissions office to take place soon. This effort will create a
more exciting and welcoming environment while showcasing the EU brand to
prospective students.
• Coordinated several photo sessions of current students to build our stock image library.
• Athletic Annual Fund Drive brochure – complete redesign; more streamlined to attract
larger audience attention.
• New Student Orientation (NSO) materials to encourage early registration to pre-selected
NSO dates. Also created schedule for new students and guests to follow.
• Student mentor postcard to promote involvement for School of Business.
• Football scholarship brochure including introduction of Justin Lustig and encourage
donations for football scholarships.
• Directional signage in Alumni House for guests to find offices easier.
• Unregistered students postcard to ensure students registered for necessary classes.
• Printed descriptions/scroll for gifts that were delivered to sister school in China.
• Green Initiatives poster developed to highlight EU’s green footprint and sustainability
efforts.
• Working with the Alumni Relations team to launch an automated email message to all
EU alumni during their birthday month.
Communications:
During this period, March 22-July 14, the Communications staff:
• Produced 49 wide-distribution press releases and additional single-target hometown news
releases to announce individual student achievements from March 22 through July 14.
The releases promoted campus events; shared news of university accolades, including
national rankings for best online programs for students with disabilities, two rankings for
best online master’s degree in counseling, and national rankings for game design and
animation; and documented the accomplishments of faculty, students and alumni. In
addition, emails were sent to more than 175 newspapers from coast to coast to alert them
that EU students in their area graduated or made the Dean’s Kist in May.
• Made 3-5 targeted weekly story pitches directly to individual media outlets and
reporters in the region in addition to those pitches that are shared with mass
notification via news release. Successful individual pitches included prominent
positive print and TV stories about the BASIS Summer Academy program for
students with autism and the Teacher Shortage Summit held on campus in June;
newspaper stories about the anniversary of the Penelec program at Porreco College
and the new therapy program for preschool students with hearing loss; TV coverage
of the Boro Autism Support Initiative for Success (BASIS) Summer Academy; and
prominent local magazine features about faculty and student artists.

During this period the University received, as a direct result of the department’s efforts,
49 positive mentions in print media in northwestern Pennsylvania/northeastern Ohio
newspapers, 16 positive stories in regional digital media, and additional mentions in
Pittsburgh and national online media. These are in addition to numerous positive regional
and national stories resulting from unsolicited coverage of the good work of EU faculty,
students and alumni. Also not included are local, regional and national coverage of the
presidential search and announcement of President Walker.
Supported the presidential search process with news releases, email messages to campus
constituencies and planning for the May 23 announcement event.
Planned and executed a successful announcement event for the new Porreco College
Aeronautics program and scholarship in collaboration with the Erie Regional Airport
Authority staff. The event April 20 at the Erie airport attracted a large crowd, including
several prospective students, and resulted in favorable media coverage.
Supported State System initiatives, including the “Infinite Opportunities” TV show air
date July 10 -- an episode made up of EU segments filmed in the last year; the
#InvestInMe campaign that solicited student participation; and the PASSHE Unplugged
competition which was publicized to the campus community to encourage participation
and resulted in a 2nd place finish for EU – this too was publicized to the broader
community.
Collaborated closely with the athletic director and sports information director in the
messaging surrounding the announcement of new cross country head coach Ryan Foster,
including an email announcing the hiring to athletic alumni and supporters.
Contributed writing and provided other input for the production of marketing and
recruitment materials, including a new view book for admissions.
Continued expansion and success of our social media efforts, as follows:

The University’s social media audiences have continued to grow, and we continue to see a strong
level of engagement with key constituencies, especially current and prospective students.
Followers:
• Facebook: 18,971 (up 478 followers since March 21, 2016)
• Twitter: 7,469 (up 157 since March 21, 2016)
• Instagram: 833 (up 147 since March 21, 2016)
• Linkedin: 23,921 (up 633 since March 21, 2016)
(All numbers as of July 14, 2016.)
Notes:
1. We continue to experience strong performances from “boosted”/sponsored posts,
increasing the size of the audience that sees our posts advertising important university
events, such as Admissions Open Houses and other major initiatives, to better promote
participation and attendance.
Example: Spring Open House promotion
What was boosted: Spring 2016 Open House commercial
Why? Encourage attendance at Spring 2016 Open House. General Recruitment

participation last year, and hope for even better results this year. The station provides a
fun place, with EU branded backdrop and props, for new students and their families to
take selfies and other photos, allowing them to show off their EU pride to their own
social media audiences as well as ours (we share many of the images from our feeds).
