Next, Chairperson Shields moved to the first item of action, Old Business -Minutes from
the previous two meetings. These included a Special Meeting held on Friday, February 19,2010,
and a quarterly Meeting held on Monday, October 26, 2009. The Chair solicited concerns,
comments, corrections or additions. Hearing none, he entertained a motion for approval of the
Minutes from the Special Meeting held on Friday, February 19,2010, and from the quarterly
Meeting held on October 26,2009. It was voted, on motion of Trustee Dombrowski, seconded
by Trustee Bow to approve the above-referencedMinutes as presented. Due to Trustees Pulice
and Thomas' participation via the university bridge line, the Recording Secretary was requested
to conduct a Roll Call vote for each agenda item requiring Council of Trustees' approval.
Following the Roll Call vote, the Chair noted that the motion carried with the unanimous approval
by the Council.
The Chair then requestedthe Chair of the Presidential Evaluation Ad Hoc Committee,
Trustee John Horan, to deliver an update. Trustee Horan reported a Special Meeting was held on
Friday, February 19, 2010, and that the Council unanimously acceptedthe recommendation and
evaluation presented by the Presidential Evaluation Committee. Subsequentto that meeting,
Trustee Horan attended a meeting in Pittsburgh on March 10 with Chancellor Cavanaugh,
President Brown and Council Chainnan Harold Shields to review and discuss the evaluation. The
Chancellor provided his input during that meeting and expressedhis satisfaction with what he has
seenand heard about progress made at Edinboro University under the leadership of President
Brown. He also expressedto Chainnan Shields and Trustee Horan, the respect and high esteem
that President Brown commands from other colleagues acrossthe State System. The meeting
with the Chancellor went extremely well and covered a wide range of topics in addition to the
presidential evaluation. Trustee Horan reported that the next step is for the recommendation to be
forwarded to the Board of Governors for review and action at their meeting to be held on
Thursday, April 8, 2010, along with the Council's recommendation that the President's contract
be extended in accordance with the Board's. policy. Chainnan Shields solicited questions or
comments from Council members. The Chair then took the opportunity to, once again, thank
\ Trustee Horan and members of the Presidential Evaluation Committee (Trustees Bow and
Higham) for ajob well done. He acknowledged the amount of time and effort utilized in
conducting the fonnal evaluation and producing the final document.
Next, the Chair called forcomment(s) from the public in attendance. He stated that the
public comment period limits each person to a five minute public comment and inquired if there
was anyone who cared to speak. The Chair requestedthe individual who steppedforward to state
their name and affiliation for the record. The individual identified herself as Cathy Joritz, a
fonner animation professor at the university.. She further stated that her contract was not renewed
in 2006. Ms. Joritz presentedthree major questions for the Trustees which addressedquestions of
progress toward diversity and remedy of alleged pro-male, anti-female bias within the Art
Department, particularly the cinema/animation area. Chairperson Shields thanked Ms. Joritz for
her comments. He invited others in attendancewho had an interest in speaking to stepforward
during the Public Comment period.
Noting no other requeststo speak, the Chair recognized the presenceand attendanceby
the Student Government Association President, Jamie Lutz. He noted that Ms. Lutz is also a
member of the PAS SHE Board of Governors and thanked her for attending the meeting.

The Chair then called on President Brown to deliver the President's Report to the Council.
Dr. Brown thanked Chairperson Shields and proceededto highlight several
news-worthy items. He began by noting that the Governor's proposal for the 2010-11 Budget
includes the reinstatement of Key 93 funds and the renewal of stimulus monies which would
certainly assistthe university with respectto the care and maintenance of facilities on campus.
The good news is that PASSHE will likely seea budget which is flat. The Presidentnoted,
however, concern about what will happen in 2011-12 when stimulus monies expire. He assured
Trustees that the university is working to addressand develop plans for how to best generate
funds to ensure that the university moves in a positive direction. The President stated forward
momentum direction in terms of emollment seenon campus. In reviewing the Spring freeze file
data, one can see a 5% increase in the number of undergraduate students (5,975) compared to
2009. Graduate students increased by 22% to 1,808. Overall, therefore, admissions experienced
a 9% increase compared to Spring 2009. In terms of preparations for the Fall 2010 semester,
President Brown noted the coining of a new catch phrase -"scary good." Current data, shows
4,210 freshman applications which is only 230 short of where admissions was for the whole of
last year. Overall, freshman and transfer applications are up 14% (same time last year) or 594
applications. Freshman and transfer admits are approximately 21 % higher than this time last
year. Deposits for freshman and transfer students are nearly 40% higher than this sametime last
year. And, of course, he noted that if one took a look at Fall 2008 statistics, one would see 630
more deposits than the entering class for Fall 2008 (same time). President Brown reported that
planning is currently underway in order to determine what needsto be done with respectto
handling a projected increase in the number of students both at the undergraduateand graduate
level. Predictions strongly indicate significant increases in graduate emollments. In terms of
campus, it is recognized that the facilities 'are an investment in our students and our faculty.
President Brown reiterated the continuing mantra of "everything that we do must reflect the
excellence of the institution -the excellence of the education that we provide in the classroom."
He reported on the "wall breaking" ceremony that took place early in the semesterwhich signified
the start of renovations to Cooper Hall. The Presidentreported on the progress of the construction
of the Human Services building which will house the Nursing program and SpeechLanguage and
Hearing departments. He stated that the project is on schedule and should be completed this
coming November with the projected move in scheduled for Spring 2011. Similarly he noted that
faculty from Psychology and Communication and Media Studies Departments are working with
the architects to design a large classroom spacein Compton Hall which would seataround 130
students. The Ross Hall renovation program is now in design phase. Plans call for the integration
of the Math and Computer Science Department in that building with the university-wide
technology and communications operations which will provide for significant improvements to
technology and infrastructure on campus. With respectto the Mike S. Zafirovski Sports and
Recreation facility (referred to as the "dome") President Brown announced that the PSAC Track
and Field Championships were hosted in that facility earlier in the year. He also noted that many
health and physical education classes,staff and student recreation activities, and practice sessions
by athletic teams are also taking placing year-round. Tuesday evenings have been earmarked for
use by area high schools for track and field practices. These sessionsgeneraterevenue for the
university since they are charged a nominal fee for practice sessions. Next President Brown
spoke about plans for the Foundation's PhaseII of the studenthousing project -The Highlands at
Edinboro. It is anticipated that a ground breaking ceremony will be held in Mayor June with
facilities available for occupancy by students in the Fall 2011. At the Porreco Center in Erie, the
university has begun to offer workforce-based training programs through the Precision
Manufacturing Institute (PMI). These offerings help to

,

5389
meet a need that has long been recognized in northwestern Pennsylvania and assistscompanies
with the hiring of workers who possessthe appropriate level of high quality training. President
Brown announcedthe creation of a College Start Program at The JosephT. Buba Center in
Meadville. Plans call for the enrollment of between 25-30 students for this program to begin Fall
2010. The Presidentreported on the university's continued concern for the environment and
sustainability issues. This is more than a catch phrase on campus when one talks about clean and
renewable energy. He was pleased,therefore, to report on the latest development -the receipt by
the university of a nearly half million dollar grant for the placement of a 21 O-kilowatt solar array
to be constructed atop McComb Fieldhouse. In addition to generating electricity for the
university, the array will allow the university to market and sell solar renewable energy credits.
The array's .21-megawatt capacity will not only generate227 megawatt hours of electricity, but
also reduce carbon emissions by some 272 tons. President Brown also noted the installation and
use of geothennal wells on campus which now characterizesnearly every renovation and building
project underway on campus. The Cooper Hall renovation also includes a new greenhouse
structure that will contribute to a living-learning environment designedto facilitate teaching and
researchopportunities related to sustainability. The President stated that all of these efforts
continue to demonstratea strong commitment to sustainability on campus and everything that is
undertaken in the future will have a strong sustainability component. With respectto
globalization efforts, the university is pleased to have hosted return visits to the Edinboro campus
due to international travel by President Brown and Mr. Terrence Carlin. Recently, President
Brown and Mr. Carlin hosted the visit of Dr. Alexander Abashkin, Vice Rector for International
Programs at the Academy of the National Economy, under the government of Russia. During his
visit, discussions took place regarding exchangeopportunities for Edinboro studentsto visit
Russia and vice versa. The President stated that a summerprogram in the area of business
between the Academy for National Economy and Moscow State University looks to be very
promising. President Brown also reported on the recent visit of Tien-Rein Lee who is the fonner
President of the Chinese Cultural University. Dr. Lee now servesas a consultant to their Board of
Trustees and discussions focused on the many opportunities for international exchanges. We
hope to host a group of students from Taiwan and send one of the university sports teams to
Taiwan for some exhibition games. A visit by 15 students from Suwon Women's College was
also hosted by Edinboro. These studentscame to improve their English language abilities and
also get a flavor of what it is like to be a student at an American university. The Presidentnoted
specifically that he and Mr. Carlin visited this institution some time ago on their first trip to South
Korea. President Brown then commented on the university's selection to be one of four PASSHE
institutions invited to participate in a live video conference with Governor Rendell. Shippensburg
served as the host institution while East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Kutztown, West Chesterand the
University of Pittsburgh served as viewing sites. He noted that more than 50 individuals from
campus were on hand to hear the Governor's remarks and to engage in a discussion about the use
of stimulus money in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. President Brown next spoke about the
successesof various athletic teams. Edinboro studentathletes continued to perfonn remarkably in
the classroom as well as engaging in athletic pursuits. This year's student-athlete banquet
honored 163 student athletes; the highest number ever recognized. He noted that 36% of our
student athletes maintained a cumulative quality point average (QPA) of3.0 or higher. President
Brown reported that the following teams actually have QPA's combined of 3.0 or higher:
Men's Cross-Country
Women's Cross-Country
Women's Soccer
Women's Swimming

Women's Swimming
Women's Track & Field

5390
Men's and Women's Cross-Country Teams were again recognized by the U.S. Track and Field
and Cross-Country Coaches Association for their excellence in the classroom. A total of 62
men's teams earned All-Academic honors with Edinboro and Northern State sharing the highest
team QPA of 3.54. Individually, Edinboro has six All-American runners tying for the most by
any team in the country. President Brown reporting last fall, Wheelchair Basketball Coach Jim
Glatch's achievement of helping the United StatesTeam Under 23 win the World Championship
in Paris, along with two Edinboro University wheelchair basketball players. He noted that Coach
Glatch's successand impact while in Paris garnered us a visit to Edinboro of the French National
Wheelchair Basketball Team. This international team came to campus to train with our
wheelchair basketball team. The Presidentstated that Coach Glatch has also been selected as the
Head Coach of the U.S. Men's Team for the 2010 World Championships in Birmingham,
England (a place well known by PresidentBrown). The Wrestling Team captured its eighth
straight Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) crown. Six members of the wrestling team are headed
to nationals in Omaha, Nebraska. Theseinclude:
Chris Birchler
Pat Bradshaw
Torsten Gillespie
Jarrod King
Eric Morrill
Phil Moricone
The Athletics Department anticipates that the nationals will be televised live on ESPN. President
Brown noted it is terrific to seeEdinboro' s name appearing on television and being broadcast
acrossthe bottom of the television screenwhen one talks about national rankings in Division I.
Currently, Jarrod King is ranked #2 in his weight class, and achieved his third straight EWL title
last month. Chairman Shields thanked President Brown for the excellent report and solicited any
comments or questions.
Next, Chairman Shields moved to new business action items -the adoption of the
2010-11 Edinboro Council of TrusteesMeeting Schedule (Attachment #1). The Chair elaborated
that the study sessionshave beenutilized well over the past couple of years to discuss topics of
interest in detail. There are three scheduledsessionswhich have beenplaced on the proposed
schedule to coincide with some activities which will be occurring, such as the academic goals for
the year and preliminary budget discussion in 2011. He noted that four quarterly business
meetings and three study sessionshave beenproposed. Chairman Shields solicited a motion for
approval of the proposed 2010-11 meeting schedule as presented. It was voted, on motion of
Trustee Manning, seconded by Trustee Bow to approve the 2010-2011 Edinboro University
Council Meeting Schedule as presented. Chairman Shields asked for any discussion. Hearing no
requests,the Chair instructed the Recording Secretaryto conduct a Roll Call vote. The motion
carried with unanimous approval by the Council.
Chairman Shields askedthe Chair of the Academic Affairs Committee to report on their
meeting and present any action items for consideration. Trustee Dombrowski stated that he and
Trustee Pulice met this afternoon with Drs. Scott Baldwin, JamesBolton, Mike Hannan and Terry
Smith. Based upon their extensive and excellent work and the work of faculty and staff, Trustee
Dombrowski moved to acceptthe recommendationof President Brown for the approval of the

.Communications
staff played an important role in sending urgent news to the campus
community about the accident that claimed the lives of three Edinboro students,the
temporary relocation of Highlands II students,and ilie HV AC fire on the roof of Cooper
Hall.
.These events caught the attention of statewide media and staff were very careful to utilize
the talking points created for eachincident, to ensure information given to media and
campus community was not only correct, but also on message.
.Thanks to Anita Joslyn, the Thistle Post (an electronic newsletter) has been revived and it
has received a warm reception from faculty, staff and alumni.
.The
magazine, Edinboro News, is going through a transition. The new Edinboro
University Magazine, as it is now called, will be in your mailboxes next week. Future
issueswill include more news and stories on individuals and campus successes.Jeff
Pinski, staff from the Alumni Association and University, Advancement did a splendid job
providing content for this issue. Not to be left out is Ron Cox, who oversaw the
production of the publication.
.Over the past few months, advertising and marketing efforts lessoned a bit, in anticipation
of our April campaign which is timed to coincide with our open houses.
.We
did, however, take advantageof several regional opportunities, such as running our
commercials during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics and obtaining prime
advertising real estate in the Erie Times-News-the Thanksgiving Day wrap. Enclosed in
the wrap were all of the flyers and coupons for "Black Friday" sales. There is a story
behind this wrap and other promotions for the month of November. I'll give you the
abridged version. One of the studentswho was killed in the car accident was prominently
featured in one of our commercials and also on the wrap. We were able to immediately
pull the commercial out of rotation. The wrap, however, was already printed and flyers
inserted. Sensitive to the situation, the Erie Times-Newsreprinted the wrap and
managementand staff worked overtime -some unpaid -to reinsert the flyers.
.On
a lighter note and not to be forgotten is the redesign of the Agway sign. The sign will
go up once the snow melts a bit more.
.The
Great Commercial Contest drew over a dozen entries, and the winning commercial
and three runners-up were aired by Erie's WICU-TV during the Super Bowl. Our first
annual "Show Your Snow" contestreceived over 250 photos from the campus community,
general public and alumni. The contest runs through mid-April.
.Update
on social media efforts continue to be successful. Since October, we've gained
nearly 250 Twitter followers for a total of 1,340 followers.
.In

the last five months, the total number of YouTube video views on Edinboro
University's channel increased by 12,708 to 35,200 views. Males make up 70% of our
YouTube audience, and 30% of our total audience is in the 45-54 age group. The next
largest age group is 35-44, at 27%. The most popular video is Ron Cox's version of an

.
5394
ESPN story that featured Edinboro University along with some other prominent
institutions. ..and the possibility of a plaid football field.
.Edinboro
gained 1,833 Facebookfans for a total of over 3,370 fans. To put it into
perspective, Gannon and Mercyhurst have 4,524 fans.. .combined. Our Facebook fanbase
remained about the same, with 62% of our fans being female. Of this group, 32% are
between 18-24 years of age and 30% are in the 25-34 years category.
.Lastly,
Tartan Day will be celebrated on April 6. There will be a website, Tartan Tater
Tot eating contest, Kilted Mile Run, as well as some Boro Bingo and some other exciting
activities.
Chairman Shields solicited any questions or comments. Hearing none, the Chair moved to the
next agenda item -a report from Vice President Gordon Herbst on behalf of the Finance and
Administration Committee.
.Vice President Herbst reported that the Finance and Administration Committee met earlier
in the day to review those items recommended for consideration and action by the Council. These
materials were provided to members of the Council in advance of the meeting along with the
agenda. Under New Business -Action Item~, Vice President Herbst requestedacceptanceby the
Council of PresidentBrown's recommendation for the approval of Contracts and Purchasesfor
the period October 1 -December 31, 2009 and January 1 -February 28, 2010. He reminded
Council members that the contracts and purchase orders were listed in the encumberedamounts
for the fiscal year as opposed to the payment amounts. It was voted, on motion of Trustee
Dombrowski, secondedby Trustee Higham to accept President Brown's recommendation for
approval of the Contracts and Purchasesas reviewed for the period
October 1 through December 31,2009 and January 1 -February 28,2010. The Chair directed a
Roll Call vote which yielded the motion carrying with unanimous approval by the Council.
Secondly, it was voted, on motion of Trustee McGarvey, secondedby Trustee Bow to
acceptthe following recommendations by President Brown for the approval of the following
items which were grouped together under one motion. Theseincluded:
.The
University's Financial Statementsfor years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and
the IndependentAuditors' Report; and November 18, 2009 -Parente Randolph
Internal Control Letter; Parente Randolph recommendations; and Edinboro
University's Management Responsedated November 18, 2009, be accepted by the
Council. Vice President Herbst noted that the above-referenceddocuments were
previously circulated to Council members under cover memorandum from President
Brown dated January 11,2010.
.The
Resolution for University-Financed Capital Facilities project in the amount of
$5.9 million (Attachment #2). Projects include the renovation of McNerney Hall to
accommodatethe university's student Health Center; the renovation of Compton Hall
gymnasium for a state-of-the-art 120-seatclassroom; miscellaneous Porreco Center
upgrades and expanded parking; and the renovation of a vacant building at the main
entrance to campus that will serve as the Welcome Center and campus Police Station.

A Roll Call vote was talcenby the Recording Secretary. For the record, the motion carried with
the unanimous approval by the Council.

Next, Vice President Herbst requestedaction on the proposed FeesSchedule for fiscal
year 2010-2011. He noted that President Brown recommends adoption of the Fees Schedule as
presented under cover memorandum dated March 15,2010. Prior to the vote, Trustee Thomas
asked for some discussion on the matter and asked if Vice President Herbst could review and
respond to the proposed increase in fees in residencehalls, meal plans and health center fees.
Specifically, Trustee Thomas inquired how we are placed in terms of our sister institutions within
the System. Trustee Thomas asked that the prior known fee be reviewed as well as the proposed
percentageof increase for each. Mr. Herbst noted with respectto the latter (the Health Center
fee) it was $80 in FY 2009-10 and the recommendation is to add $15 -raising it from $80 to $95.
In so far as our sister institutions are concerned,Indiana University and at least three other
universities have fees that are greaterthan the figure in front of the Council. He recalled that
Indiana was in the $110-120 range per semester. With respectto ResidenceHall fees the proposal
was for $100 increase or 4%; he noted that it was difficult to answer that question in respectto
how the other universities fare because,like Edinboro University, our sister institutions have a
mix of university-owned as well as privatized housing options available to the students. Edinboro
University falls within the low range if fees charged were averagedall together. Our universityowned housing is higher in some casesand lower in other casesthan other PASSHE institutions.
Trustee Thomas inquired if Edinboro was competitive. Vice President Herbst responded in the
affirmative since based on preliminary and current emollment projections we look to improve the
number of incoming students over last year. As the amount of studentsincrease in the residence
halls to the level that they were in the early 1990's, the Council could possibly review a future
proposal which does not call for a raise in the fees structure becausethere will be more students to
sharethe cost of debt service on Dearborn and Earp Halls. Trustee Thomas inquired about the
percentageof capacity at the presenttime. By residencehall, the range is between 96% in the
Highlands to roughly 90-94% in the traditional residence halls. Rose Hall has the highest
percentageand Dearborn had the least at 90%. Chairperson Shields solicited additional
comments, questions, or concerns. Trustee Horan noted for Trustee Thomas' edification the
Finance and Administration Committee members asked the samequestions of Vice President
Herbst in the earlier Committee meeting. He stated the Committee's concern, of course, is that
this is the one area where the Council has some say in terms of what the costs/chargeswill be in
terms of the education we provide here so we are extremely concerned that we remain
competitive. Trustee Horan believes that part of our messageis that we are not only higher
education, higher quality education -but affordable education. Trustee Horan further stated that
Committee members are extremely concerned about that aspectand Vice President Herbst has
provided all Committee members with information that he will share with Trustee Thomas
showing our peer institutional data and where Edinboro stands on eachone of those fees that is
currently being charged to students. He also noted that Edinboro stands in the aggregate when
compared with sister institutions. Trustee Horan stated that he is satisfied that we are keeping it
as tight as we can. Vice President Herbst has also shared with the Council the expenseside of the
equation, and not to speak for him, but Trustee Horan believes that Vice President Herbst has
been somewhatconservative. Vice President Herbst also noted in the meeting materials, the
introduction of meal plans that provide more selection to students. These additional options,
therefore, actually lower the total price by $300-400 for studentswho elect the 60-block meal
plan and reside in the residencehall. Therefore, Mr. Herbst noted some balance between the
room rate combined with the bargain in meal selections available. The memorandum dated
March 15 from President Brown discussedthe following proposed fees in which an increase was
recommended. These included:

I

5396
Residence Halls -a $100 per semesterincrease (4%) in the double room rate in the
residence halls. Operating and maintenance costs have risen due to contractual
obligations. The fee increase will provide funds to balance the residence hall budget.
The 2009-10 room rates for the Highlands at Edinboro are being reviewed by the
Edinboro University Foundation. While those rates have not yet been fmalized, I am
anticipating a 4% increase or a total of$100 per semester.
Meal Fees -a 2% increasein semestermeal fees initiated through the consumer price
index and stipulated within the university's dining services contract. It should be noted
that several new meal plan options will be available to increasethe selection and help
reduce the cost to our students. Among these are plans for as little as $460 (block of 60
meals).
Health Center Fee -a $15 per semesterincrease in the student health fee. The increase
will be used to support the increasescosts of operation for the health center.
Fees and Fines -a $25 increase in "moving violation" fine and a $25 increase in vehicle
"booting fee," all in accordancewith Board of Governors Policy 1985-02-A: Operation of
Motor Vehicles on State Systemof Higher Education Facilities.
Lastly Council members were advised that the Student Government Association initiated a
2.3% increase in the Student Activity Fee based on the consumerprice index.
Chairperson Shields noted that this matter is a cost versesvalue situation. If one believes that
they are getting value for the amount of money they.are being charged, the university will stay
competitive. He noted that the administration and Council will be under more and more pressure
as we enter the next couple of years in terms of cost and revenue comparisons. The Chair shared
that as a newly appointed member to the PASSHE Board of Governors that he has taken the
opportunity in the past two months to visit eachof the other 13 universities in the State System.
The visits were interesting and informative. Although he would not identify the specific
institution, he informed the Council that one university charges$925 in student fees which he
would personally view as a tremendous burden to carry on students. Following these discussions,
it was voted, on motion of Trustee McGarvey, secondedby Trustees Higham and Manning to
accept President Brown's recommendation for the adoption of the proposed Fees Schedule for
fiscal year 2010-2011 as presented (Attachment #3). The motion carried with the unanimous
approval by the Council following a Roll Call vote by the Recording Secretary.
For the record, Vice President Herbst noted several pagesof personnel transactions since
the October 26,2009, Council meeting which were being presented for their review and
information. These included:

Lastly, Vice President Herbst provided an update from the University Services, Inc. (USI)
meeting held on February 9, 2010. He noted that the Bookstore will be updating its Point of Sale
(POS) system. The system is a Windows-based environment which will permit more stable credit
card processing function, thus, allowing for faster transactions and a more stable studentfinancial
aid interface and permit the addition of a gift card componentto the system as well as the
acceptanceof debit card transactions with a personal identification number (PIN). The Board also
approved a requestto purchase and upgrade equipment for place in the Piper Press. The Piper
Press is currently housed in the lower level of Ross Hall. This equipment will support the
anticipated printing needs for the Art Department foundations area due to curriculum changes.
There will be upgradesto the current color copier, the purchaseof two iMac computers and two
Epson stylus printers plus licensing fees for software to be installed on these computers. All will
be in place by Fall 2010. Vice President Herbst reported the election of officers. Theseincluded:
President and Chairman
Treasurer
Secretary

Mr. Harry "Sparky" Gorton
Mr. David Poor
Ms. Jamie Lutz

Lastly, Mr. Herbst reported that the Board unanimously agreedto commit to funding for the
2010-11 Academic Excellence Scholarship in the amount of$100,OOO. Chairman Shields
solicited comments and/or questions.
Next, Chairman Shields called on Interim Vice PresidentKahan Sablo to provide a report
on behalf of the StudentAffairs Committee. He noted that the StudentAffairs Committee had
met earlier in the day. He sharedthe following highlights from his respective area of
responsibility which included:

5404
GLOBAL OUTREACH
Haiti Relief -As part of a PAS SHE-wide initiative to provide financial support to the
earthquake victims of Haiti, staff have beenworking diligently with studentsto plan and
implement fundraising activities. So far we have hosted a 12 hour dance-a-thon, sold
Valentine's Day "Hearts for Haiti," and collected donations at athletic events and our annual
Snow Fest celebration. To date, over $2,000 has been raised for this effort.
French National Wheelchair Basketball Team ~ Edinboro University served as host to the
French National Wheelchair Basketball team who came to train with our nationally known
coach, Jim Glatch, and participate in the Intercollegiate Division Tournament. After the
tournament, the French team joined us for a campus-wide Superbowl Party in Lawrence
Towers.

LOCAL AND REGIONAL ACTIVITIES
Veterans Recognition -ROTC and Athletics collaborated to recognize local veterans at the
last men's basketball game of the season. As a gesture of thanks for their service to our
country, all veterans were asked to stand up and be recognized during our recent Clarion
basketball game. This is a new tradition that will be repeated at a fall football game.
The Big Event -Our Student Government Association will again host The Big Event on
Saturday, April 24. This is a university-wide day of community service, when students go
into the community and help local residents by cleaning up yards, painting, and assisting with
other projects. As residents of this community, our studentsbelieve in the spirit of giving back
to their host community.
Job Fairs -In the reality of job searching in this tough economy, the Career Services Office
is preparing students for three upcoming job fairs in our region, each of which will have over
100 employers from around the country.

GRANT OPPORTUNITIES
Student Health Services successfully secureda grant to provide meningitis vaccines to
students for approximately $10 each. The vaccine normally costs $170. This is helpful as
state law requires a meningitis vaccine or waiver for all students living in college residence

halls.
Student Health Services -also secureda grant to do free STD testing on campus. Students
have been very responsive to this program. He noted that while individual test results are
confidential, the aggregatedata is reported to the county Department of Health. The campus
is not identifiable, but submitted by county boundaries. We will work with our
Communications and Marketing staff to have various responsesready in the event that issues
arIse.
