EDINBORO’S POGUE AVAILABLE FOR
INTERVIEW ON “EDINBORO AT EDINBURGH”
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania President Dr. Frank G. Pogue recently led a party of
28 Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education honors students (including two from
Edinboro University), several faculty from throughout the 14 State System universities, and a
number of Study Abroad travelers on a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. The visit to Edinburgh was
part of the 2000 State System Summer Honors Program.
Now in its 16* year, the Summer Honors Program annually offers some of the top
students at State System universities unique learning experiences abroad. It is coordinated by a
different university each year.
This year’s program, called “Edinboro at Edinburgh” and coordinated by Edinboro
University, focused on the Scottish Enlightenment of the 19* century, and included two weeks of
study at Edinboro University before departing for Scotland, two weeks in Edinburgh, and
another week in London.
The highlight of the experience for President Pogue and the participants was a personal
audience and welcome with His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and
husband of England’s Queen Elizabeth, who traveled to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in
Edinburgh to receive the group.
Dr. Pogue has a number of unique and interesting recollections and observations about
the meeting with Prince Philip and other aspects of the group’s visit to Scotland, and is available
for interview.
Interview appointments may be scheduled by contacting Mrs. Sherri Galvin, assistant to
the president, at 732-2711.
Thank you.

which is endowed with gifts from fellow state troopers, law enforcement officers, criminal
justice professionals, fraternity brothers, alumni and friends - was established at Edinboro not
only to honor Bond’s memory, but also to encourage in criminal justice students the same level
of dedication and commitment that Bond displayed in his career and life. The first award of the
Bond Scholarship will be made in September 2001. Donations to the scholarship fund continue
to be received and may be made in Bond’s name to the Edinboro University Foundation, Inc.

made by a living donor in Edinboro’s history. Established in honor of his daughter, Linda, the
Pelton scholarship will be awarded to encourage and support students in the special education
field. Joining Pogue and Pelton, an engineer at GE for 42 years until his retirement, are Bmce

EDINBORO’S POGUE AVAILABLE FOR
INTERVIEW ON “EDINBORO AT EDINBURGH”
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania President Dr. Frank G. Pogue recently led a party of
28 Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education honors students (including two from
Edinboro University), several faculty from throughout the 14 State System universities, and a
number of Study Abroad travelers on a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. The visit to Edinburgh was
part of the 2000 State System Summer Honors Program.
Now in its 16* year, the Summer Honors Program annually offers some of the top
students at State System universities unique learning experiences abroad. It is coordinated by a
different university each year.
This year’s program, called “Edinboro at Edinburgh” and coordinated by Edinboro
University, focused on the Scottish Enlightenment of the 19* century, and included two weeks of
study at Edinboro University before departing for Scotland, two weeks in Edinburgh, and
another week in London.
The highlight of the experience for President Pogue and the participants was a personal
audience and welcome with His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh and
husband of England’s Queen Elizabeth, who traveled to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in
Edinburgh to receive the group.
Dr. Pogue has a number of unique and interesting recollections and observations about
the meeting with Prince Philip and other aspects of the group’s visit to Scotland, and is available
for interview.
Interview appointments may be scheduled by contacting Mrs. Sherri Galvin, assistant to
the president, at 732-2711.

which is endowed with gifts from fellow state troopers, law enforcement officers, criminal
justice professionals, fraternity brothers, alumni and friends - was established at Edinboro not
only to honor Bond’s memory, but also to encourage in criminal justice students the same level
of dedication and commitment that Bond displayed in his career and life. The first award of the
Bond Scholarship will be made in September 2001. Donations to the scholarship fund continue
to be received and may be made in Bond’s name to the Edinboro University Foundation, Inc.

made by a living donor in Edinboro’s history. Established in honor of his daughter, Linda, the
Pelton scholarship will be awarded to encourage and support students in the special education
field. Joining Pogue and Pelton, an engineer at GE for 42 years until his retirement, are Bmce
