BRIEF HISTORY
The rich history of the Porreco estate dates back to the midnineteenth century, when a German immigrant, Henry
Knobloch, purchased the original 400 acres. The main property
stayed in the Knobloch family until 1931, when the first of the
Gebauer's took title. Jesse Gebauer became the owner in 1942
while married to Adrian Archbold, grandson of John Archbold,
the partner and Standard Oil fortune successor to John D.
Rockefeller.
Mrs. Archbold died in 1976, and much of the estate was
divided into smaller holdings and sold privately. The core of
the property, however, was retained and put on public auction.
In 1978, Louis J. Porreca purchased it. In 1986, Mr. Porreco
donated the estate to Edinboro University to enhance the
quality and convenience of educational offerings in the Erie
area.
Today, the renovated estate is used by Edinboro University
to provide both credit and non-credit educational opportunities
for traditional and non-traditional students, and for holding
special events. Various organizations within the community
also use the facilities for educational and cultural programming.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Over 10,000 students have taken classes in various programs
at the Porreca Center since Edinboro University consolidated its
academic offerings at one convenient location more than 14
years ago. Undergraduate courses in such areas as biology and
health services, business administration and economics,
mathematics and computer science, speech and
communication studies, secondary education, elementary
education, English & theatre arts, foreign languages,
geosciences, philosophy and history are provided.
In addition, Edinboro University offers graduate and
extended learning classes, plus four associate degree programs:
Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice, Associate of Arts in
Human Services, Associate of Science in Business
Administration and an Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies.
During the summer, the grounds are alive with the sound of
children's voices. The Kids Academy at Porreco is an exciting
opportunity for children in grades 1-6 to participate in a wide
array of unique learning experiences thanks to Edinboro
University in Erie.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE
OVERVIEW
The field of criminal justice encompasses all matters
relating to crime. It is concerned with law, criminology,
police, courts, corrections, crime control policy and planning.
Moreover, it is a rapidly changing field. Modem criminal
behavior such as computer theft and embezzlement,
terrorism, racketeering and sophisticated political corruption
require new technologies and skills for crime control. There
is a need for broadly educated personnel with a deep
understanding of the criminal justice system and its political,
social and economic environments. There is equally a need
for modem police skills, from accounting to computer skills
and counseling.
A sound degree program in criminal justice must be
flexible to prepare undergraduates for a rapidly changing and exciting- set of occupations. To meet this need,
Edinboro University offers a comprehensive program which
provides an overview of the criminal justice system and
development of essential skills: the Associate of Arts in
Criminal Justice.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
TOTAL
The two-year associate degree program is designed
primarily to provide persons currently employed in criminal
justice agencies an opportunity to enrich their backgrounds
in criminal justice studies and at the same time earn a college
degree in the field.
Edinboro's criminal justice program seeks to provide
students with a broad understanding of the entire criminal
justice system and human behavior rather than a narrow
specialization. A wide range of employment opportunities
exist with the police, the courts, and correctional programs.
The background provided by this degree program may also
be valuable for those who decide to seek a four-year
bachelor's degree in criminal justice, social work, sociology
or political science.

TOTAL
Many health and human services agencies are seeking
individuals who have less than a baccalaureate degree, but
are sophisticated enough to be effective workers.
This program is concerned with the preparation of
individuals as mental health workers, psychiatric aides,
social service workers, workers for developmentally
disabled, and workers with the elderly. The availability of
trained paraprofessionals in these areas could make such
services available to the public more efficiently and
effectively.
The goal of the program is to educate, in two years, a
generalist worker who could move into a wide range of
mental health and/ or human services fields.
Human services paraprofessionals held several thousand
government jobs during the 1990s. Government agencies
employ a significant portion of the paraprofessionals to deal
with such issues as poverty, crime, public assistance,
population policy, social rehabilitation, community
development, mental health, racial and ethnic studies, and
environmental impact studies.

Discovered in the 1930's by English physician, Edward
Bach, flower essences have since been used safely and
effectively worldwide. This course explores the greatly
documented, yet little-known, practice of using flower
essences as all-natural additions to mainstream wellness
programs. While traditional Western practices often
approach healthcare from a symptom-oriented perspective,
flower essences aid the user in addressing deeper emotional
imbalances, which may underlie the physical distress. In
this way, root causes may be highlighted, providing a
foundation for the development of greater wellbeing. In this
course, we will discuss potential root causes for physical
discomfort, how flower essences act as "vibrational
remedies" to help address emotional imbalances, and how to
incorporate essences into our daily lives. (PLEASE NOTE:
Flower essences are NOT essential oils. Unlike their fragrant
cousins, which are applied topically, essences are
administered in drops under the tongue.)

CHALLENGE OF CHANGE: EXCUSE ME WHILE

The goal of the "Challenge of Change: Excuse Me While I
Change" workshop is to help individuals prepare for
change, and to make their transition from the unknown to
the known be more comfortable. The striking feature of this
workshop is that it allows individuals to focus on their
present situation, and it allows facilitators to guide them in
developing empowerment so they can move forward. This
workshop has been successfully presented to groups such as
women programs, professional affiliations, college students,
high school students, displaced homemakers, employees
who were downsized, welfare-to-work recipients, and
military personnel. Feedback from students said it was
"awesome" and""fun, yet I learned a lot," and an employee
who was losing his job said it was "inspirational." A single
mother stated, "I was so afraid, but now I am excited about
making a change for the better." The workshop will help
others "cross the bridge" slowly, carefully, and with less fear.
The presenter will share with the participants the activities,
humor, stories, and factual information that will guide them
to be more willing to cope with change.

School. Working closely with the administrative staff at the
Porreco Center, offerings include Suzuki piano, violin, voice,
piano, and flute lessons. The Porreco Center houses a grand
piano for student use, pre- and post-lesson computers,
electronic pianos, and teaching studios. Future plans may
include a concert hall and dedicated teaching areas for
chamber music and lessons.
The Community Music School offers scholarships to over
40% of its students. To fund these activities, a generous grant
from the Boys and Girls Club of Erie, Inc. was received in
year one. Since then, fundraising efforts have included
student fees, private donations, and grants. Please contact
the Community Music School to discuss donor
opportunities. The Community Music School can be reached

PURPLE MARTIN CONSERVATION
ASSOCIATION
ELEVENTH ANNUAL TECHNOLOGY
ENGINEERING CHALLENGE CONTEST
The Purple Martin Conservation Association is an
international, non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated
to the conservation of the Purple Martin (Progne subis)
species of bird through scientific research, state-of-the-art
wildlife management techniques, and public education. It is
supported by membership contributions and product sales.
The PMCA is associated with Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania through its Office of Extended Learning,
which played a valuable role in the formation of the PMCA
and continues to provide assistance and logistical support.
Purple Martins are condo-nesting members of the
swallow family that spend their winters in Brazil and
migrate back to North American breeding grounds in the
spring, when the weather warms enough to provide flying
insects for their food. The eastern race of Purple Martins is
different from all other species of birds in that they no longer
nest in the wild. Today, east of the Rocky Mountains, they
are totally dependent on people to supply them with houses
and gourds for nesting. Unfortunately, Purple Martins are
not as common as they were a century ago. The PMCA is
working to reverse this trend.
Today, the PMCA conducts research at its colony site on
the eastern shore of Edinboro Lake, where as many as 150
pairs of martins nest each year. Over 6,000 members receive
its quarterly publication, The Purple Martin Update.
Additionally, the PMCA is in touch with over 100,000 Purple
Martin enthusiasts throughout North America. By making
accurate information on martins available to would-be
landlords, designing better
martin housing systems,
and by conducting
scientific research, the
PMCA is working to
increase the Purple
Martins' population
throughout its North
American breeding range.
Saturday, April 2, 2005 - Cooper Science Hall-Edinboro
University Campus
Edinboro University is pleased to host the Eleventh Annual
Technology Engineering Contest on Saturday, April 2, 2005,
from 9:00 am to 2:45 pm in Cooper Science Hall. The Erie
Engineers Societies Council, Northwest Intermediate Unit #5,
the Technology Education Association of Pennsylvania
(TEAP), and area middle and high schools sponsor this event.
The Technology Engineering challenge is designed to provide
area students an opportunity to apply their knowledge of
math and science to technological problems, and structural,
electrical, and civil engineering projects.
Through this competition, students gain deeper insight
into important scientific and technological concepts. The
contest also provides an opportunity to see a variety of
solutions to the same problem and gives students experience
in project development, paint drawing, teamwork and
public presentations. Approximately 100 students participate
each year. This event is divided in to three levels: 6th, 7th,
and 8th graders, 9th and 10th graders, and 11th and 12th
graders. A first, second, and third place is given in each
event in 4 different categories: overall performance,
drawings, craftsmanship, and oral/report presentation.
The Technology Engineering Challenge also has an overall
school trophy. This trophy is presented to the school district
that wins the most points over all three levels. This trophy is
called the Koehle cup. This trophy was named after Rudy
Koehle who has been a key supporter, developer, and
participant in this event. The trophy is kept at the winning
school district for a year and returned the following
competition.
For more information, please contact your local middle or
high school industrial arts teacher.

SERIES OUTLINE
Session I Feb. 3
"Understanding Ourselves: The DiSC Profile"
BASIC TRAINING FOR SUPERVISORS
• Completing the DiSC Personality Profile
• Examining our strengths & weaknesses
• Interacting with others who are different
As the world of business changes, so do the roles of an
organization's leaders, and no role has become more critical
than that of the frontline supervisor. Today's supervisors
must be communicators, planners, problem solvers,
motivators, coaches and much more. And as the level of
responsibility increases, the demand for quality supervisory
training becomes more significant.
To meet this demand, Edinboro University announces a
special 6-part ''basic training" program for supervisors. In
this series of highly interactive half-day sessions, supervisors
will learn the essential skills for better management, and
develop the fundamental skills for successful supervision.
The program topics have been carefully selected to address
the most common challenges of today's modem workplace,
and can help any supervisor, regardless of experience, to
increase productivity and accomplish more.

awaited recovery is in sight. And with this recovery will
come a more fluid labor supply, with many people looking
for opportunities elsewhere. In fact, according to a recent
survey by a Chicago-based outplacement firm, Challenger,
Gray & Christmas, 23% of employees are likely to leave their
jobs once the economy improves.
In light of this information, many concerned companies
are asking themselves "Do we stand to lose valued
employees under these circumstances"? Perhaps the greater
question is "What can we do NOW to make sure that our
good employees stay"? In this half-day workshop,
participants will explore the factors that are most important
for employee satisfaction and learn important and effective
strategies for increasing worker satisfaction.
This interactive program consists of lecture,
demonstration, discussion, small group exercises, printed
handouts, educational slides and exercises designed to
achieve the learning objectives.
Clinical Settings:
The obtained knowledge and skills are applicable to your
personal and professional life. Information can be applied to
a wide variety of treatment environments, e.g. private
practice, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health units,
hospitals and health care, medical and nursing settings,
educational institutions, abuse shelters, substance abuse
centers, prisons/jails, patient support groups, residential
facilities.
Key Topics include:

BRIEF HISTORY
The rich history of the Porreco estate dates back to the midnineteenth century, when a German immigrant, Henry
Knobloch, purchased the original 400 acres. The main property
stayed in the Knobloch family until 1931, when the first of the
Gebauer's took title. Jesse Gebauer became the owner in 1942
while married to Adrian Archbold, grandson of John Archbold,
the partner and Standard Oil fortune successor to John D.
Rockefeller.
Mrs. Archbold died in 1976, and much of the estate was
divided into smaller holdings and sold privately. The core of
the property, however, was retained and put on public auction.
In 1978, Louis J. Porreca purchased it. In 1986, Mr. Porreco
donated the estate to Edinboro University to enhance the
quality and convenience of educational offerings in the Erie
area.
Today, the renovated estate is used by Edinboro University
to provide both credit and non-credit educational opportunities
for traditional and non-traditional students, and for holding
special events. Various organizations within the community
also use the facilities for educational and cultural programming.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
Over 10,000 students have taken classes in various programs
at the Porreca Center since Edinboro University consolidated its
academic offerings at one convenient location more than 14
years ago. Undergraduate courses in such areas as biology and
health services, business administration and economics,
mathematics and computer science, speech and
communication studies, secondary education, elementary
education, English & theatre arts, foreign languages,
geosciences, philosophy and history are provided.
In addition, Edinboro University offers graduate and
extended learning classes, plus four associate degree programs:
Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice, Associate of Arts in
Human Services, Associate of Science in Business
Administration and an Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies.
During the summer, the grounds are alive with the sound of
children's voices. The Kids Academy at Porreco is an exciting
opportunity for children in grades 1-6 to participate in a wide
array of unique learning experiences thanks to Edinboro
University in Erie.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE
OVERVIEW
The field of criminal justice encompasses all matters
relating to crime. It is concerned with law, criminology,
police, courts, corrections, crime control policy and planning.
Moreover, it is a rapidly changing field. Modem criminal
behavior such as computer theft and embezzlement,
terrorism, racketeering and sophisticated political corruption
require new technologies and skills for crime control. There
is a need for broadly educated personnel with a deep
understanding of the criminal justice system and its political,
social and economic environments. There is equally a need
for modem police skills, from accounting to computer skills
and counseling.
A sound degree program in criminal justice must be
flexible to prepare undergraduates for a rapidly changing and exciting- set of occupations. To meet this need,
Edinboro University offers a comprehensive program which
provides an overview of the criminal justice system and
development of essential skills: the Associate of Arts in
Criminal Justice.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
TOTAL
The two-year associate degree program is designed
primarily to provide persons currently employed in criminal
justice agencies an opportunity to enrich their backgrounds
in criminal justice studies and at the same time earn a college
degree in the field.
Edinboro's criminal justice program seeks to provide
students with a broad understanding of the entire criminal
justice system and human behavior rather than a narrow
specialization. A wide range of employment opportunities
exist with the police, the courts, and correctional programs.
The background provided by this degree program may also
be valuable for those who decide to seek a four-year
bachelor's degree in criminal justice, social work, sociology
or political science.

TOTAL
Many health and human services agencies are seeking
individuals who have less than a baccalaureate degree, but
are sophisticated enough to be effective workers.
This program is concerned with the preparation of
individuals as mental health workers, psychiatric aides,
social service workers, workers for developmentally
disabled, and workers with the elderly. The availability of
trained paraprofessionals in these areas could make such
services available to the public more efficiently and
effectively.
The goal of the program is to educate, in two years, a
generalist worker who could move into a wide range of
mental health and/ or human services fields.
Human services paraprofessionals held several thousand
government jobs during the 1990s. Government agencies
employ a significant portion of the paraprofessionals to deal
with such issues as poverty, crime, public assistance,
population policy, social rehabilitation, community
development, mental health, racial and ethnic studies, and
environmental impact studies.

Discovered in the 1930's by English physician, Edward
Bach, flower essences have since been used safely and
effectively worldwide. This course explores the greatly
documented, yet little-known, practice of using flower
essences as all-natural additions to mainstream wellness
programs. While traditional Western practices often
approach healthcare from a symptom-oriented perspective,
flower essences aid the user in addressing deeper emotional
imbalances, which may underlie the physical distress. In
this way, root causes may be highlighted, providing a
foundation for the development of greater wellbeing. In this
course, we will discuss potential root causes for physical
discomfort, how flower essences act as "vibrational
remedies" to help address emotional imbalances, and how to
incorporate essences into our daily lives. (PLEASE NOTE:
Flower essences are NOT essential oils. Unlike their fragrant
cousins, which are applied topically, essences are
administered in drops under the tongue.)

CHALLENGE OF CHANGE: EXCUSE ME WHILE
I CHANGE
The goal of the "Challenge of Change: Excuse Me While I
Change" workshop is to help individuals prepare for
change, and to make their transition from the unknown to
the known be more comfortable. The striking feature of this
workshop is that it allows individuals to focus on their
present situation, and it allows facilitators to guide them in
developing empowerment so they can move forward. This
workshop has been successfully presented to groups such as
women programs, professional affiliations, college students,
high school students, displaced homemakers, employees
who were downsized, welfare-to-work recipients, and
military personnel. Feedback from students said it was
"awesome" and""fun, yet I learned a lot," and an employee
who was losing his job said it was "inspirational." A single
mother stated, "I was so afraid, but now I am excited about
making a change for the better." The workshop will help
others "cross the bridge" slowly, carefully, and with less fear.
The presenter will share with the participants the activities,
humor, stories, and factual information that will guide them
to be more willing to cope with change.

Porreco Center, offerings include Suzuki piano, violin, voice,
piano, and flute lessons. The Porreco Center houses a grand
piano for student use, pre- and post-lesson computers,
electronic pianos, and teaching studios. Future plans may
include a concert hall and dedicated teaching areas for
chamber music and lessons.
The Community Music School offers scholarships to over
40% of its students. To fund these activities, a generous grant
from the Boys and Girls Club of Erie, Inc. was received in
year one. Since then, fundraising efforts have included
student fees, private donations, and grants. Please contact

PURPLE MARTIN CONSERVATION
ASSOCIATION
ELEVENTH ANNUAL TECHNOLOGY
ENGINEERING CHALLENGE CONTEST
The Purple Martin Conservation Association is an
international, non-profit, tax-exempt organization dedicated
to the conservation of the Purple Martin (Progne subis)
species of bird through scientific research, state-of-the-art
wildlife management techniques, and public education. It is
supported by membership contributions and product sales.
The PMCA is associated with Edinboro University of
Pennsylvania through its Office of Extended Learning,
which played a valuable role in the formation of the PMCA
and continues to provide assistance and logistical support.
Purple Martins are condo-nesting members of the
swallow family that spend their winters in Brazil and
migrate back to North American breeding grounds in the
spring, when the weather warms enough to provide flying
insects for their food. The eastern race of Purple Martins is
different from all other species of birds in that they no longer
nest in the wild. Today, east of the Rocky Mountains, they
are totally dependent on people to supply them with houses
and gourds for nesting. Unfortunately, Purple Martins are
not as common as they were a century ago. The PMCA is
working to reverse this trend.
Today, the PMCA conducts research at its colony site on
the eastern shore of Edinboro Lake, where as many as 150
pairs of martins nest each year. Over 6,000 members receive
its quarterly publication, The Purple Martin Update.
Additionally, the PMCA is in touch with over 100,000 Purple
Martin enthusiasts throughout North America. By making
accurate information on martins available to would-be
landlords, designing better
martin housing systems,
and by conducting
scientific research, the
PMCA is working to
increase the Purple
Martins' population
throughout its North
American breeding range.
Saturday, April 2, 2005 - Cooper Science Hall-Edinboro
University Campus
Edinboro University is pleased to host the Eleventh Annual
Technology Engineering Contest on Saturday, April 2, 2005,
from 9:00 am to 2:45 pm in Cooper Science Hall. The Erie
Engineers Societies Council, Northwest Intermediate Unit #5,
the Technology Education Association of Pennsylvania
(TEAP), and area middle and high schools sponsor this event.
The Technology Engineering challenge is designed to provide
area students an opportunity to apply their knowledge of
math and science to technological problems, and structural,
electrical, and civil engineering projects.
Through this competition, students gain deeper insight
into important scientific and technological concepts. The
contest also provides an opportunity to see a variety of
solutions to the same problem and gives students experience
in project development, paint drawing, teamwork and
public presentations. Approximately 100 students participate
each year. This event is divided in to three levels: 6th, 7th,
and 8th graders, 9th and 10th graders, and 11th and 12th
graders. A first, second, and third place is given in each
event in 4 different categories: overall performance,
drawings, craftsmanship, and oral/report presentation.
The Technology Engineering Challenge also has an overall
school trophy. This trophy is presented to the school district
that wins the most points over all three levels. This trophy is
called the Koehle cup. This trophy was named after Rudy
Koehle who has been a key supporter, developer, and
participant in this event. The trophy is kept at the winning

"Understanding Ourselves: The DiSC Profile"
BASIC TRAINING FOR SUPERVISORS
• Completing the DiSC Personality Profile
• Examining our strengths & weaknesses
• Interacting with others who are different
As the world of business changes, so do the roles of an
organization's leaders, and no role has become more critical
than that of the frontline supervisor. Today's supervisors
must be communicators, planners, problem solvers,
motivators, coaches and much more. And as the level of
responsibility increases, the demand for quality supervisory
training becomes more significant.
To meet this demand, Edinboro University announces a
special 6-part ''basic training" program for supervisors. In
this series of highly interactive half-day sessions, supervisors
will learn the essential skills for better management, and
develop the fundamental skills for successful supervision.
The program topics have been carefully selected to address
the most common challenges of today's modem workplace,
and can help any supervisor, regardless of experience, to
increase productivity and accomplish more.

awaited recovery is in sight. And with this recovery will
come a more fluid labor supply, with many people looking
for opportunities elsewhere. In fact, according to a recent
survey by a Chicago-based outplacement firm, Challenger,
Gray & Christmas, 23% of employees are likely to leave their
jobs once the economy improves.
In light of this information, many concerned companies
are asking themselves "Do we stand to lose valued
employees under these circumstances"? Perhaps the greater
question is "What can we do NOW to make sure that our
good employees stay"? In this half-day workshop,
participants will explore the factors that are most important
for employee satisfaction and learn important and effective
strategies for increasing worker satisfaction.
This interactive program consists of lecture,
demonstration, discussion, small group exercises, printed
handouts, educational slides and exercises designed to
achieve the learning objectives.

personal and professional life. Information can be applied to
a wide variety of treatment environments, e.g. private
practice, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health units,
hospitals and health care, medical and nursing settings,
