8/31 NEWS CONFERENCE TO ANNOUNCE
NEW PROGRAM AT EDINBORO UNIVERSITY
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania has joined forces with Preferred Insurance
Educational Services (PIES) of Erie to provide training in the form of Continuing Education
Units (CEUs) for insurance agents and brokers in northwestern Pennsylvania.
The arrangement will be announced during a joint news conference at Edinboro
University’s Porreco Extension Center in Erie (2951 West 38th St.), Thursday, August 31,
10:30 a.m., in Mary Porreco Hall, the Center’s main building.
Senior Edinboro University officials will be joined by Robert Potalivo, president of
PIES, and representatives from the state Insurance Dept., PNC Bank, Zum Industries, and the
Erie Area Chamber of Commerce to make the formal public announcement.
Trends emerging over the past several years are indicating that most professional
occupations - doctors, nurses, attorneys, psychologists, pharmacists, accountants, and others need additional training to stay current with changes in their fields. Many are getting that
training through CEUs received from continuing education providers.
The insurance industry is no exception. Because of constant regulatory changes,
insurance professionals have seen the need to stay abreast of developments through continuing
education programs.
Edinboro University has seized the opportunity to work with PIES to provide the
academic logistics leading to CEUs for the first two courses approved for presentation in the

Extension Center through the University’s Institute for Research and Community Services and
Department of Continuing Education.
PIES, a non-profit organization for insurance agents, announced its formation at a news
conference last week. The organization will help local insurance agents and brokers obtain the
24 hours of continuing education credits they need to retain their sales license. PIES operates in
conjunction with the state Insurance Department and the Insurance Testing Corporation.
PIES estimates that as many as 3,000 individual insurance agents and brokers in
northwestern Pennsylvania will need to receive the training, which is required by a new state
law.
Media coverage of the news conference is invited.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

FORMER EDINBORO RESIDENTS VOLUNTEER OVERSEAS
Retirement for some people means having the freedom to travel when and where they
want. For others, retirement means taking on little odd jobs to keep themselves busy. But for
people like former Edinboro residents Pat and Elmer Bames, retirement means travel and
work - all in the name of helping other people in distant lands.
They are members of the International Executive Service Corps (lESC), a group of
retired professionals employed by governments and industries outside the U.S. to help solve
their economic problems.
Pat, a 1964 graduate of Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, is a former teacher and
librarian in the General McLane School District. Elmer was a commercial artist for advertising
agencies in Pittsburgh and Erie. In 1994 the lESC asked them to go to Poland twice to help
companies make the adjustment from a closed, state-run economy to the international freeenterprise marketplace.
Their first assignment in April of 1994 was to Gliwice, Poland, where the company
Bumar Labedy needed help in designing brochures and technical materials. The old heavy
equipment factory that once had 10,000 workers making 10,000 tanks a year also produced
cranes, backhoes and other construction equipment.
“They were making good products that could be sold on the world market,” said Elmer,
“but their advertising was so poor. They wanted world-class brochures and advertising.”
In October of that year they were called to Poland again, this time to the town of
Swidnik and an aircraft company called PZL Swidnik. In Poland, all aircraft plants were owned

by the government and all had the same logo. There was no easy way to distinguish one from
another. Barnes set out to change that.
“I had fun shaking things up,” he said. “I asked them how does anybody know them
from anyone else. They said that was the way government said to do it. I asked if they were
bound by the government now, and they said no, they were on their own now. So I said we
would design a new company logo and a new name. They were a little worried that the boss
wouldn’t like it, but I kept assuring them that he would, and he did.”
In fact, the Poles had so much faith in Barnes that the president of the company told his
people to “give Mr. Barnes whatever he needs. He is in charge.”
Barnes said both companies made very good products, but they never had to promote
themselves or advertise under the Communist government. All they had to do was build it and
ship it out.
“They were totally engrossed in what I had to show them,” said Elmer. “I would ask
questions and try to get them involved. The one thing I tried to convince them is that
advertising is basically selling the sizzle - not the steak. Because we had to use an interpreter to
communicate, some things were lost in the translation. The interpreter turned and looked at me
and asked, ‘Elmer, what is sizzle?’”
While Elmer taught them advertising, Pat taught English. All of the students took
American names for the English class, names such as Robert Bedford and Murphy Brown.
PZL Swidnik sponsored a school for adults which had five levels of instruction. Their
classes were from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. every day, and the students sat on cushions on the
floor. Everyone was treated alike - from the controller to the lowest worker - everyone sat
together, and they all were eager to learn.
“They were marvelous students and were very interested in how Americans live,” said
Pat. “On the last day of class they asked me questions such as how we would act if we were
invited to someone else’s house. I said we would probably ask if there was something we could
bring. They said that is something they would never do. It would be insulting. When they invite
someone to their homes the guest will get the very best that they can offer. If they have to sell
something to give their guest a good dinner, they would do it.”
Pat and Elmer praised lESC for its organization. When someone is assigned to a certain
country, lESC does all the legwork to make sure everything goes well. It provides the passports.

transportation and accommodations. The information packets are so complete that if one were
to break a shoestring, one would know where to find a replacement.
They spent three months in Poland in 1994 and are looking forward to being asked by
lESC to visit another country. Although they cannot request a particular destination, they can
decline an invitation.
Anyone interested in volunteering for the lESC program may write the organization at

EDINBORO UNIVERSITY’S ROGER SOLBERG
PRESENTS PAPER ON BABE RUTH MOVIES
Roger Solberg was among the dozens of baseball fans, writers, experts and former
players who took part in a conference earlier this year dedicated to Babe Ruth. “Baseball and
the Sultan of Swat,” commemorating the 100th birthday of Babe Ruth, was held at Hofstra
University. Solberg is an English professor at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and an
ardent film buff. He presented a paper on portrayals of Ruth in the 1948 movie. The Babe Ruth
Story, starring William Bendix; and the 1992 movie. The Babe, starring John Goodman.
“I had no specific thesis in mind when I decided to attend the conference,” said Solberg.
“I just knew I wanted to write something on the two movies.”
The conference was no dry academic exercise in baseball minutia. It was an all-out
tribute to the Babe and the faded glory of the national pastime. It opened, appropriately, with
the singing of the national anthem by opera great Robert Merrill and featured a greeting from
Babe’s daughter and grandson, Julia Ruth Stevens and Thomas A. Stevens. The long-time voice
of the Yankees, Mel Allen, gave a keynote address, and the cast of the Broadway musical Damn
Yankees sang Heart.
Nearly every topic imaginable related to the great Bambino was covered at the
conference. Hall-of-famers Bob Feller, Harmon Killebrew and Robin Roberts led a general
discussion on the Babe. Another panel featured Ron Blomberg, Ralph Branca, Ryne Duren,
Clyde King, Enos “Country” Slaughter, and Roy White. Statistical experts explained Ruth’s

greatness. One session featured 30 poets reciting Babe Ruth poetry. Another discussed his
influence on Canada, Japan and Latin America. Other topics included Babe Ruth and children.
Babe Ruth in literature, and Babe Ruth and the Negro leagues.
Solberg’s paper looked at how each movie presented three important moments in Ruth’s
life. “Neither movie did a good job,” said Solberg. '‘‘‘The Babe Ruth Story was shamelessly
maudlin. It portrayed Ruth as some sort of saint. I couldn’t believe how bad it was. The movie
was a complete disaster. The Goodman movie was the exact opposite. It tried to undo
everything the previous movie had done. It showed Ruth as a carouser and a womanizer. It was
a much better movie but had its share of inaccuracies.”
Ironically, Solberg thinks the best movie about Ruth is the simply-titled Babe Ruth, a
made for TV film broadcast by NBC in 1991. The conference screened the NBC movie as its
concluding event. Its star, Stephen Lang, and producer and executive producer, Frank Pace and
Lawrence A. Lyttle, were on hand for a discussion of the film. Lang also portrayed General
George Pickett in the movie Gettysburg.
The conference attracted baseball writers and broadcasters like Dick Schaap, John
Steadman, George Vecsey, Mel Allen, and former Yankee shortstop Phil Rizzuto, who is now a
Yankee broadcaster. At the conference’s banquet, Rizzuto presented the main address and
received an honorary doctorate from Hofstra.
“It was a wonderful mix of baseball fans and serious scholars,” Solberg said of the
event. “It wasn’t a stuffy conference. There were several hundred attendees.”
The conference was slated to take place at about the same time Solberg was to become a
father. “Someone said I would have to make a choice between the Babe and the baby,” he said.
Fortunately, David Solberg was bom ten days early.

EDINBORO UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES 1995-96 GALLERY EXHIBITS

Edinboro University of Pennsylvania’s Bruce Art Gallery will host seven art exhibitions
during the 1995-96 academic year.
The first exhibition opens on Wednesday, September 6, at 7 p.m. “No Escaping Edges”
presents the paintings and drawings of Eastern Illinois University artist-teacher Yu Ji. Prof. Ji is
an exciting figurative painter who is deeply committed to the process of painting. His work
centers on urban situations often located in places like New York City’s Greenwich Village. His
compositions are based on direct observations recorded in his sketch books. For Mr. Ji,
figure/space relationships in his work become metaphors for human survival within confined
places. His interest in his art is in the depiction of socially mixed figure groups, of street
cultures and of social issues that exist in parallel with his aesthetic concerns. “No Escaping
Edges” will be shown through Sept. 30.
“Contemporary Sculpture: Eight Points of View,” which will be on display from Oct. 6
through Oct. 30, features the work of eight artists from the Philadelphia and New York areas of
the east coast. The organizer of the show (and one of the exhibiting artists), Barry Parker, is the
head of the sculpture department of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and a former
faculty member at Edinboro University. The show is designed to be very diverse in both style
and sculptural process.
Bruce Gallery’s third exhibition is a three-person show of prints and fabric paintings.
“Texts and Textiles” opens on November 1 and concludes Dec. 2. The art of Kimberly Vito,
Kristy Deetz, and Penny Sisto connects with work that is personal, intimate, autobiographical,
and concerned with human experience.

Denise Burge’s “Southern Landscapes of Memory,” opening Dec. 6, is based on the
artist’s youthful Southern landscape - narrative art which uses space and light in a seductive
way to suggest autobiographical meaning. A background in theater production adds to the
content and composition of Burge’s art.
“Earth and Landscape,” a two-person show, is scheduled for Jan. 31 through Feb. 24,
1996. This exhibition combines photographic panoramic landscapes by artist Peter Taylor with
the earthenware vessels and clay pieces of Kaname Takada whose work is meant to suggest the
natural tension between order and chaos.
From Feb. 28 to March 30 Bruce Gallery will host “Selections,” an exhibition of the
best of area high school art.
The Gallery’s last show is the Edinboro University Art Student Exhibition. This annual
art show features both undergraduate and graduate student art in all media and styles. The
exhibition dates are April 3 - May 4.
Bruce Gallery is located on the ground floor of Doucette Hall at Edinboro University.
Hours are 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday
evenings. For additional information, call 814-732-2513 or 2406.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

EDINBORO UNIVERSITY WINS ADVERTISING AWARD
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania’s current series of television advertisements was a
winner of the Erie Advertising Club’s 1995 Golden Rooster Award for “best TV campaign” in
recent ceremonies marking the 25th anniversary of the Ad Club’s awards program. Edinboro’s
Rooster was one of 37 first-place gold awards presented in various advertising, print
publication, photography, graphic design, and other categories.
Edinboro’s eight 30-second TV ads were produced by Drumheller Creative of Erie.
Brad Drumheller, a 1977 Edinboro graduate and owner of Drumheller Creative, provided and
coordinated pre- and post-production, graphics, production, music and narration. Drumheller’s
work garnered a second Golden Rooster for his agency.
“Our goal was to show a consistent, student-oriented image and message in each of the
30-second spots, an image and message both modem and upbeat, yet completely accurate in
depicting campus life and student activities,” said Bill Reed, Edinboro’s assistant vice president
for public information.
Reed said that each of the eight ads has a number and name - such as “soft,” “mellow”
and “happy” - which corresponds to the visual images and mood of the background music.
“Brad Drumheller had the music specially created for us,” Reed said, “except for
number four - named “pipes” - which features the Edinboro University marching band and
bagpipes. Brad was able to capmre that distinctive and symbolic sound from the 1994
Homecoming parade.

“The number and name system helps us place the ads with stations in Erie and across
Pennsylvania. The softer music and images are a better fit with news and dramatic
programming, while we save the hard rock spots for the Super Bowl and similar showcases,”
Reed said.
“The 1-800 Admissions Office phone number was added to four of the spots and run
recently on network-affiliate stations in the ScrantonAVilkes-Barre market to interest and attract
prospective students from that region in attending Edinboro University,” said Reed.

EDINBORO UNIVERSITY WINS ADVERTISING AWARD
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania’s current series of television advertisements was a
winner of the Erie Advertising Club’s 1995 Golden Rooster Award for “best TV campaign” in
recent ceremonies marking the 25th anniversary of the Ad Club’s awards program. Edinboro’s
Rooster was one of 37 first-place gold awards presented in various advertising, print
publication, photography, graphic design, and other categories.
Edinboro’s eight 30-second TV ads were produced by Drumheller Creative of Erie.
Brad Drumheller, a 1977 Edinboro graduate and owner of Drumheller Creative, provided and
coordinated pre- and post-production, graphics, production, music and narration. Drumheller’s
work garnered a second Golden Rooster for his agency.
“Our goal was to show a consistent, student-oriented image and message in each of the
30-second spots, an image and message both modem and upbeat, yet completely accurate in
depicting campus life and student activities,” said Bill Reed, Edinboro’s assistant vice president
for public information.
Reed said that each of the eight ads has a number and name - such as “soft,” “mellow”
and “happy” - which corresponds to the visual images and mood of the background music.
“Brad Dmmheller had the music specially created for us,” Reed said, “except for
number four - named “pipes” - which features the Edinboro University marching band and
bagpipes. Brad was able to capture that distinctive and symbolic sound from the 1994
Homecoming parade.

“The number and name system helps us place the ads with stations in Erie and across
Pennsylvania. The softer music and images are a better fit with news and dramatic
programming, while we save the hard rock spots for the Super Bowl and similar showcases,”
Reed said.
“The 1-800 Admissions Office phone number was added to four of the spots and mn
recently on network-affiliate stations in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre market to interest and attract
prospective students from that region in attending Edinboro University,” said Reed.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS

For some college graduates, obtaining a diploma is just one step in a sometimes long
and frustrating process of finding a job in their chosen career field. But a survey by Edinboro
University of Pennsylvania shows that for many of its graduates, the hardest part of landing a
job is deciding which offer to take.
Edinboro conducted a survey of former students who graduated between August of 1992
and May of 1993 to determine which majors were most successful at finding a job or attending
grad school. The top five categories - which had success rates of 90 percent or better - were for
respondents who had majored in nutrition, nursing, special education, speech-language hearing
disorders, and social work.
These careers are reflections of national trends reported by Money Magazine. In a listing
of the 50 hottest careers in America - those expected to grow the most by the year 2005 special education teachers were fourth, speech pathologists were eleventh, registered nurses
were number 22, and social workers were number 25 on the list.
Dr. Denise Ohler, director of Edinboro’s center for advising and career services, said the
success of the Edinboro grads is due not only to choosing a career that is in demand, but also to
their willingness to relocate, career or internship experience they may already have, and the
amount of effort they put forth in their studies and in career research.
“One thing that these five majors have in conunon is that many of their professors bring
their senior classes in here for counseling,” said Ohler. “We maintain a career resource library

which lists thousands of jobs. It’s important for students to do their own research and discovery,
because it is a skill most people will need to use all of their lives.”
According to the survey, the highest placement rate at Edinboro belongs to the graduates
of the nutrition program, which is actually a cooperative program among Edinboro, Gannon and
Mercyhurst called the Pennsylvania Consortium. Professor Sally Lanz said the demand for
nutritionists - especially those who are trained in more than one area - is very high. The U. S.
Labor Bureau forecasts a 20-28 percent increase in the need for dietitians through the year
2005.
Employment opportunities for nutritionists fall into three categories: clinical dietetics,
which involves medical and nutritional therapy; food services at such places as schools and
universities, hospitals, restaurants, and food corporations; and community nutrition. Some jobs
are available that combine expertise in two or all three of the categories.
Lanz said new graduates can find employment in a health-care setting in acute care,
long-term care, rehabilitation, or mental health. Other opportunities are with government and
community-based agencies such as the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Still other
jobs are opening in food service for school districts, most of which do not have nutritionists.
More and more businesses and health and recreation clubs are hiring them for wellness and
physical fitness programs. Increasingly, dietitians are acting as consultants in private practice
settings.
In addition to a very high placement rate, graduates of the Pennsylvania Consortium
have a better than 90 percent passing rate for the national exam for becoming a licensed
dietitian.
“Because the consortium involves three schools,” said Lanz, “students have access to a
lot of resources. This has helped earn national accreditation from the American Dietetic
Association. Our program provides a good, broad comprehensive education that serves as a
stepping stone to more specialized areas where our graduates can become board certified.”
Two other Edinboro programs with high placement rates according to the survey are
nursing (93 percent) and special education (92.5 percent). “There will be a terrible nursing
shortage by the year 2000,” said nursing department chairperson Mary Lou Keller. The aging of
America will see increasing numbers of retirees, including nurses, who will require more
medical care.

EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS, Continued

Currently, many hospitals are reducing their nursing staffs as part of cost cutting.
However, with the changes brought on by increased managed health care, whatever jobs may be
lost in hospitals will likely be more than made up for by community health care needs.
There is still an immediate need for nurses in the south and west in such states as Texas,
Florida, Georgia, New Mexico and North Carolina. “Graduates who are willing to relocate will
have no trouble finding a job,” said Keller. “We have graduates working in Florida, Virginia
and North Carolina.”
One way Edinboro’s nurses find these jobs is through the Pennsylvania Student Nurses
Convention which is held in the fall, and the national convention held every spring. Recruiters
from all over the nation come to the convention to make job offers to students once they
graduate. In 1989 the nursing department did a survey of its recent graduates. Of those
responding to the survey, 86 percent found jobs before graduation and another 9 percent were
employed within a month of graduation.
Dr. Sondra Dastoli, chairperson of the department of special education and school
psychology, said there has always been a demand for special education teachers, and an even
greater demand is anticipated. She pointed to legislation and deteriorating social conditions as
reasons for the continuing demand.
“In the 1960s, rubella led to medical and social problems,” said Dastoli. “In the 1980s
and 90s, the problems have been drug and alcohol addiction in mothers, unstructured homes,
attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. Also, the government has been recognizing more
and more disabilities, which means serving more and more children.”
Another trend is inclusion - the belief that every child has the right to education in the
same classroom with his or her peers. This means special education services must be delivered
to the child in the classroom, which is creating a need for qualified, trained individuals.
Dastoli said students who major in special education often have been inspired in some
way - possibly by a family member, friend or neighbor with disabilities. By the time they
graduate from Edinboro they have had months of in-person training through field experience
and student teaching.
Hand-in-hand with the growth of demand for special education teachers has been the
demand for trained speech language pathologists. Dr. Roy Shinn, coordinator of Edinboro’s
master’s program said demand has expanded tremendously over the years.
-more-

EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS, Continued

The shortage of speech-language pathologists and audiologists began at about the same
time the profession broadened its scope to include such things as assessment and management
of individuals with swallowing disorders, individuals using sophisticated technology to
communicate, and working with infants, toddlers and their families.
“Speech pathology affects all age groups,” said Shinn. “Eleven percent of the population
has a communication disorder of some sort. Children may have a problem with language,
speech, stuttering, voice, or temporary or permanent hearing loss. Adults may have a hearing
loss, be recovering from a stroke or head injury, or rehabilitating following surgical removal of
part or all of their ‘voice box’ due to cancer.”
Because the number of Americans over age 65 is expected to double in the next couple
of decades, a dramatic increase in the number of adults with speech, hearing, language or other
problems is also expected to increase.
The University’s master’s program was started by Dr. Richard Forcucci in the mid
1970s and was accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association in 1992.
Enrollment in the two-year master’s program is limited to only 30 graduate students.
“We have a 15-student per year limit in the graduate program,” said Shinn. “The number
of students we can accept is tightly controlled because speech pathology is very one-on-one
oriented.”
Graduates of the program score well above the national average on the national
examination and are employed throughout the country. Every Edinboro graduate who responded
to the survey is employed - virtually all had jobs before they graduated - and they can expect
to make between $30,000 and $42,000 in their first job out of college. “Some employers
specifically request Edinboro graduates because of their work ethic, knowledge base, and
ability to put theory into practice,” said Shinn.
Trained speech-language pathologists are in such demand that some states are offering
financial incentives to attract them. Delaware is going so far as to pay off tuition loan debt on a
year-for-year basis up to $10,000. Virtually all 50 states have shortages in schools and hospitals.
The demand for Edinboro graduates with a bachelor’s degree in social work is also
expected to be strong for some time. Edinboro graduates are especially sought after because of
their extensive field experience prior to graduation. They have a 975-hour placement with a
social service agency - twice the length of time of most other colleges - and they are expected
-more-

EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS, Continued

Page 5

to do volunteer work in their spare time. Many social service agencies have a preference for
employees with a social work degree. A shortage of social workers with master’s degrees is
causing agencies to turn to those with bachelor’s degrees. Regulations now require most
nursing homes to have a social worker on staff.
Perhaps the greatest factor in increasing the demand for social workers is the trend
toward deinstitutionalizing patients at agencies. An example of this is Warren State Hospital,
which at one time had as many as 4,000 residents. Now it has only 400. The reason for
downsizing is cost - approximately $85,000 a year per resident. States are taking the savings
and giving patients intensive community services. That’s where trained social workers come in.
With some half-million social service agencies across the nation, the need for social workers is
not likely to ease soon.

Graduates of the program score well above the national average on the national
examination and are employed throughout the country. Every Edinboro graduate who responded
to the survey is employed - virtually all had jobs before they graduated - and they can expect
to make between $30,000 and $42,000 in their first job out of college. “Some employers
specifically request Edinboro graduates because of their work ethic, knowledge base, and
ability to put theory into practice,” said Shinn.
Trained speech-language pathologists are in such demand that some states are offering
financial incentives to attract them. Delaware is going so far as to pay off tuition loan debt on a
year-for-year basis up to $10,000. Virtually all 50 states have shortages in schools and hospitals.
The demand for Edinboro graduates with a baehelor’s degree in social work is also
expected to be strong for some time. Edinboro graduates are especially sought after because of
their extensive field experience prior to graduation. They have a 975-hour placement with a
social service agency - twice the length of time of most other colleges - and they are expected

to do volunteer work in their spare time. Many social service agencies have a preference for
employees with a social work degree. A shortage of social workers with master’s degrees is
causing agencies to turn to those with bachelor’s degrees. Regulations now require most
nursing homes to have a social worker on staff.
Perhaps the greatest factor in increasing the demand for social workers is the trend
toward deinstitutionalizing patients at agencies. An example of this is Warren State Hospital,
which at one time had as many as 4,000 residents. Now it has only 400. The reason for
downsizing is cost - approximately $85,000 a year per resident. States are taking the savings
and giving patients intensive community services. That’s where trained social workers come in.
With some half-million social service agencies across the nation, the need for social workers is
not likely to ease soon.

EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS
For some college graduates, obtaining a diploma is just one step in a sometimes long and
frustrating process of finding a job in their chosen career field. But a survey by Edinboro
University of Pennsylvania shows that for many of its graduates, the hardest part of landing a
job is deciding which offer to take.
Edinboro Seesiiy-conducted a survey of former students who graduated between August
of 1992 and May of 1993 to determine which majors were most successful at finding a job or
attending grad school. The top five categories - which had success rates of 90 percent or better were for students who had majored in nutrition, nursing, special education, speech-language
hearing disorders, and social work.
These careers are reflections of national trends reported by Money Magazine. In a listing
of the 50 hottest jobs in America - those expected to grow the most by the year 2005 - special
education teachers were fourth, speech pathologists were eleventh, registered nurses were
number 22, and social workers were number 25 on the list.
Denise Ohler, director of Edinboro’s center for advising and career services, said the
success of the Edinboro grads is due not onl^ to choosing a career that is in demand, but also to
their willingness to relocate, career«xpetjencl they may already have, and the amount of effort
they put forth in their studies and in career research.
cf
"One thing that these five majors have in common is that their professore bring their
library which
senior classes in here for coun^g,'*^ Vmd ^fler. "We maintain a career
lists thousands of ^obs. It's important for students to do their own research and discovery
because it is s^et^ing most people will be^Mn^ all of th^ lives."
The highest placement rate at Edinboro belongs to the graduates of the nutrition program,
which is actually a cooperative program among Edinboro, Gannon and Mercyhurst called the
Pennsylvania Consortium. Professor Sally Lanz said the demand for nutritionists - especially
those who are trained in more than one area — is very high. The U.S. Labor Bureau forecasts a
20-28 percent increase in the need for dietitians through the year 2005.
Employment opportunities for nutritionists fall into three categories: clinical dietetics,
which involves medical and nutritional therapy; food services at such places as schools
hospitals, restaurants, and food processors; and community nutrition. Some jobs are available
that combine expertise in two or all three of the categories.
Lanz said new graduates can find employment in a hospital setting in acute care, long­
term care, rehabilitation, or mental health. Other opportunities are in a community-basd^etting
such as the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Still other jobs are opening in food
service for school districts, most of which do not have nutritionists. More and more businesses
are hiring them for wellness and physical fitness programs.

Pr
L

In addition to a very high placement rate, graduates of the Pennsylvania consortium have

a better than 90 percent passing rate for the national exam for becoming a licensed dietitian.
"Because the consortium involves three schools," said Lanz, "students have access to a
lot of resources. This has helped earn national accreditation from the American Dietetic
Association. Our program provides a good, broad comprehensive education that serves as a
stepping stone to more specialized fields, where our graduates can become board certified."
Two other Edinboro programs with high placement rates according to the survey are
nursing (93 percent) and special education (92.5 percent). Dr. Sondra Dastoli, chairperson of the
department of special education and school psychology, said there has always been a demand for
special education teachers. Graduates in the field are able to find jobs, even if it is only a
temporary position.
She pointed to legislation and deteriorating social conditions as reasons why special
education teachers will continue to be in demand.
"In the 1960s rubella led to medical and social problems," said Dastoli. "In the 1980s
and 90s, the problems have been drug and alcohol addiction in mothers, unstructured homes,
attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. Also, the government has been recognizing more and
more disabilities, which means serving more and more children."
Another trend is inclusion - the belief that every child has the right to education in the
same classroom with his or her peers. This means special education services must be delivered
to the child in the classroom, which is creating a need for qualified, trained individuals.
Dastoli said students who major in special education often have been inspired in some
way - possibly by a family member, friend or neighbor with disabilities. By the time they
graduate from Edinboro they have had months of in-person training through field experience and
student teaching.
Hand-in-hand with the growth of demand for special education teachers has been the
demand for trailed speech language pathologists. Dr. Roy Shinn, head-ofEdtnboro's^rogram
said the ^ap^^s^eech-language pathology has expanded tremendously over the years.
"Speech pathology affects all age groups," said Shinn. "Eleven percent of the population
has a communication disorder of some sort. There is now more required treatment for children,
and as the population grows older, there is more stroke and more dementia. There are a
tremendous variety of disorders."
Some of those disorders include children with delays in language development, speech
problems, cleft palate, stuttering, inability to speak on one's own, hearing problems, attention
problems and many others.
The university has offered a bachelor's degree in speech and hearing disorders since the
early 1960s. The master's program in speech language pathology has been nationally accredited
since 1992. The University limits enrollment in the two-year master's program to only 30
graduate students.
"We have a 15 student per year limit in the graduate program," said Shinn. "The numbers
of students we can accept are tightly controlled because speech pathology is very one-on-one
oriented."
For those fortunate few who do earn their master's degrees, the career opportunities are na
jmliHated. Every Edinboro graduate* awnng tne pastihreet-years is employed. Virtually all had
jobs before they graduated. They can expect to make $30-$42,000 in their first job out of
college.

Trained speech-language pathologists are in such demand that some states are offering
financial incentives to attract them. Delaware is going so far as to pay off tuition loan debt on a
yearibiuyear basis up to $10,000. Virtually all 50 states have shortages in schools and hospitals.
The demand for Edinboro graduates with a bachelor's degree in social work is also
expected to be strong for some time. A number of factors are contributing to this. Edinboro
graduates are especially sought after because of their extensive field experience prior to
graduation. They have a 975^hour placement with a social service agency - twice the length of
time of most other colleges. And they are expected to do volunteer work in their spare time.
Many social service agencies have a preference for employees with a social work degree. A
shortage of social workers with master's degrees is causing agencies to turn to those with
bachelor's degrees. Regulations now require most nursing homes to have a social worker on
staff.
Perhaps the greatest factor in increasing the demand for social workers is the trend
toward deinstitutionalizing patients at agencies. An example of this is Warren State Hospital,
which at one time had as many as 4,000 residents. Now it has only 400. The reason for
downsizing is cost - approximately $85,000 a year per resident. States are taking the savings and
giving patients intensive community services. That's wheretrained social workers come in. ''^tith
some half-million social service agencies across the nation, the need for social workers is not
likely to ease soon.

RE; Story on graduates
Here is the story that I wrote after meeting with you. Feel free to use what you want.
The demand for speech-language pathologists and audiologists has stimulated record high interest
into the undergraduate and graduate programs at EUP. According to Dr. Roy Shinn, the
coordinator of the M.A. program in speech-language pathology, the personnel shortage tegan at
about the same time that the profession broadened its scope of practice to include such things as the
assessment and management of individuals with swallowing disorders, individu^s using
sophisticated technology to communicate (who otherwise can't), and working with infants,
toddlers, and their families. Audiology expanded to include balance assessment, programmable
amplification, cochlear implants, and intraoperative monitoring of neurologic^ function during
surgery. This made the two professions even more attractive to interested individuals.
Speech-language pathologists and audiologists work with people of all ages, from newborns
through geriatrics, in settings ranging from hospitals to schools to private clinics. Children they
work with may have problems with language (vocabulary, grammar, and/or social skills), speech
(perhaps due to hearing loss, poor modeling, or a cleft palate), swallowing (due to an underlying
neurological problem), stuttering, voice, or temporary or permanent hearing loss. Adults they
work with may have hearing loss, be recovering from a stroke or head injury, or rehabilitating
following surgical removal of part or all of their "voice box" due to cancer. Demographic changes
over the next couple of decades will more than double the number of Americans over age 65.
Communication disabilities in the older age ^oups are more prevalent and therefore we expect a
dramatic increase in the number of adults with speech, hearing, language, or swallowing
problems. Although demograhics shifts are less predictable for children, pohcies aimed at
maximizing the potential of all students for the 21st century will re-emphasize the necessity of good
communication skills in the formative years. "But today's chnicians don't just treat the disabihty,"
said Shinn. "Undergraduate students must learn about human development, linguistics, families,
neurology, and speech and hearing science, as well as several other related areas. That stage of
one's education lays the foundation for successfully developing professional knowledge and skills
in graduate schools."
Despite the stiff competition to be admitted to graduate school in speech-language pathology or
audiology, graduates of the B.A. program in Speech and Hearing Disorders at EUP have attended
and graduated from universities throughout the United States, including Syracuse, Arizona State,
Pittsburgh, Case Western, Penn State, West Virginia, as well as the excellent program right here at
Edinboro. One former student, Dr. Frank Musiek, is Professor of Otolaryngology at Dartmouth
University and an internationally recognized expert in central auditory processing disorders.
The M.A. program that was started by Dr. Richard Forcucci in the mid 1970s, received formal
accreditation in 1992 from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Graduates of the
program score well above the national average on the national examination and are employed
throughout the country. "Some employers specifically request Edinboro graduates for their work
ethic, knowledge base, and abihty to put theory into contemporary practice", said Shinn. The
feedback that the program solicits from its alumni and their employers is used to maintain quality
and remain up-to-date.
Beginning salaries for full time positions generally are in the range of $30 - $40K. There are

care system.
The employment outlook for dietitians is excellent.
The ITS Labor Bureau forecasts a 20% to 28% increase
ttt the need rdlf ‘ rietTtians
2005^. This
projected demand can be attributed to the increased
recognition of the role of nutrition in healtfi and
the greater need* for medical nutrltlieif'*i;heF&p3f %
prevSlftion and treatment of diseases.t
Dozens of exciting new practice roles for dietitians
are emerging in private practice, community program^,
training and education, hospitality management, develop^
lent of new food products, and hci'i'lea
In
addition, new roles are envisioned in long-term care,
government and political agencies, schools, and fit­
ness and wellness programs.
Based on these projections and trends lines, the CCP
should continue to attract sufficient numbers of stu­
dents for the enrollment capacity of the program.
The enrollment history of the CCP does not point to
any definite trend upward or downward. The following

A COMPARISON OF PLACEMENT RATES;
SSHE AND EDINBORO UNIVERSITY
1992-1993
Prepared by Brenda Bailey, Institutional Research, June 1995

INTRODUCTION
Lou Fabian, Director of Planning and Evaluation at Lock Haven University, recently
collected placement data for the State System of Higher Education using data provided by
SSHE Placement Offices. He prepared a table of placement rates by undergraduate major
for 1992-1993 graduates which was distributed at the April 1995 SSHE Institutional
Research meeting in Harrisburg and at the May 1995 SSHE Career Services meeting in
Bloomsburg. Discussions system-wide between Institutional Research and Career Services
are currently underway to standardize data collection and reporting procedures across the
State System.
Presented here for your reference is a comparison between the State System and Edinboro
University using the same methodology as was used in the original table prepared by Mr.
Fabian

METHODOLOGY
Recognizing that any placement rate report relies on self-reported data which may be
suspect and that data currently reported across the State System is not based on a
standardized survey form, a standardized process, nor a standardized report format, the
table included on the following pages attempts to show the placement rate by program.
The number placed includes those employed full-time in field, those employed part-time in
field, and those attending graduate school. At Edinboro University in field is interpreted
as in a career of my choice. The placement rate is based on the number placed divided by
the number of responses.
The source of Edinboro University data is the Placement Survey Results 1992-93 report
prepared by the Center for Advising and Career Services. These data presented represent
the placement rates for graduates from the August 1992, December 1992, and May 1993
classes. The survey was mailed to these graduates in October and December 1993 with
follow-up calls made fi'om December 1993 through February 1994.
Despite the problems inherent with both self-reported data and non-standardized
processes, the table on the following pa^es give some indication of the placement rates in
the State System of Higher Education and at Edinboro University. While recognizing that
some problems may exist with the data collection, the reported table can serve as a
catalyst for discussion and as a basis for further assessment.

RESPONSE RATE
The overall survey response rate is 68.8% for State System graduates and 41.3% for
Edinboro University graduates. System response rates by program vary from 44.1% for
Science-Other to 92.7% for Chemistry. At Edinboro University response rates by
program vary from 0% for Chemistry, Anthropology, and Political Science to 90% for
Health and Physical Education graduates. For the purpose of this discussion any Edinboro
University programs with a response rate less than 20% are excluded from the Valid
Placement Rate column of the table. These data are included in total figures.

PLACEMENT RATES
Beginning with totals, the placement rate calculated for the State System is 73.2%. Using
the same methodology, the placement rate at Edinboro University is 74.6%. The highest
placement rate in both the State System (81.7%) and at Edinboro University (94.0%) can
be found in the Health fields. The lowest placement rate in the State System can be found
in Liberal Arts (61.7%) while the lowest placement rate at Edinboro University occurs in
the Sciences (38.5%).
When examining placement rates at the individual program level, the highest placement
occurs in Nursing for both the State System (91.9%) and Edinboro University (93%). The
lowest placement rate in the State System occurs in Liberal Arts-Other (40.7%). The
lowest valid placement rate at Edinboro University, excluding those programs with low
response rates, occurs in Computer Science (0%) and Sociology (0%).
Some valid placement rates (excluding those programs with low response rates) for those
students responding to the survey at Edinboro University are over 90%. These include
Education Other which is Speech Language Hearing Disorders (91.7%), Special
Education (92.5%), Nursing (93%), Medical Technology (100%), and Hedth Other which
is Nutrition (100%). Some programs at Edinboro show placement rates less than 50% for
1992-1993 graduates. These include Computer Science (0%), Sociology (0%), History
(25%), and Biology (40%).

NATIONAL TRENDS
Recruiting Trends 1994-95: A Study ofBusinesses, Industries, and Governmental
Agencies Employing New College Graduates prepared by Michigan State University
reports that growing occupations and employment categories include computer related
occupations, engineering, sales and marketing, accounting and finance, and medical and
health care services. Valid placements ifates for 1992-93 Edinboro graduates at the time
of the survey vary considerably in these high placement areas: Computer Science (0%),
Business Administration (71.9%), Nursing (93%), Medical Technology (100%), and
Nutrition (100%).

2

CONCLUSION
Recognizing that any placement rate report relies on self-reported data which may be
suspect and that data currently reported across the State System is not standardized,
Institutional Research suggests that this report serves as a catalyst for discussion and as a
basis for further assessment.

GRADUATICN RATES

Students are considered nursing students v4ien they are admitted as fresh­
men to the University.

If they do not meet the criteria for regular

admission, they can be admitted as Pre-nursing students.

Statistics are

calculated however, at the beginning of the sophomore level nursing classes
as the number of sojhomore nursing students can exceed the number of students
admitted as freshmen the previoi:is year.

This occurs because internal trans­

fers (EUP students, especially Pre-nursing students) are permitted to change
their major if they have 32 EUP credits and a 2.5 QPA.

Also, external trans­

fers (Non-EUP students) may be admitted directly into the sophomore nursing
classes if they meet the criteria for admission and progression.

Students

admitted into the Innovative Program are considered nursing majors at the
beginning of their program (fall semester).
Students who progress as expected graduate in four years from the
regular program.

Students vrtio do not meet progression criteria may remain

nursing majors, but cannot progress to the next level until reguirements are
met.

Pre-nursing students usually take five years to complete the degree

reguirements.

Innovative students complete the program in one calendar year.

EDINBORO SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS
For some college graduates, obtaining a diploma is just one step in a sometimes long and
fmstrating process of finding a job in their chosen career field. But a survey by Edinboro
University of Pennsylvania shows that for many of its graduates, the hardest part of landing a
job is deciding which offer to take.
Edinboro conducted a survey of former students who graduated between August of 1992
and May of 1993 to determine which majors were most successful at finding a job or attending
grad school. The top five categories - which had success rates of 90 percent or better - were for
students who had majored in nutrition, nursing, special education, speech-language hearing
disorders, and social work.
These careers are reflections of national trends reported by^oney Magazin^In a listing
of the 50 hottest
in America - those expected to grow the most by the year 2005 - special
education teachers were fourth, speech pathologists were eleventh, registered nurses were
number 22, and social workers were number 25 on the list.
Denise Ohler, director of Edinboro's center for advising and career services, said the
success of the Edinboro grads is due not only to choosing a career that is in demand, but also to
their willingness to relocate, career or internship experience they may already have, and the
amount of effort they put forth in their studies and in career research.
"One thing that these five majors have in common is that many of their professors bring
their senior classes in here for counseling," said Ohler. "We maintain a career resource library
which lists thousands of jobs. It's important for students to do their own research and discover)^
because it is a skill most people will need to use all of their lives."
According to the survey, the highest placement rate at Edinboro belongs to the graduates
of the nutrition program, which is actually a cooperative program among Edinboro, Gannon and
Mercyhurst called the Pennsylvania Consortium. Professor Sally Lanz said the demand for
nutritionists - especially those who are trained in more than one area - is very high. The U.S.
Labor Bureau forecasts a 20-28 percent increase in the need for dietitians through the year 2005.
Employment opportunities for nutritionists fall into three categories: clinical dietetics,
which involves medical and nutritionalth^|^; food services at such places as schools 0^'^
hospitals, restaurants, and foot^p^^oorc; and community nutrition. Some jobs are available
that combine expertise in two or all three of the categories^^j^^^^^_^5^j^j^
Lanz said new graduates can find employment in a hospital-setting in acute care, long­
term care, rehabilitation, or mental health. Other opportunities are.y a oommunity baae-flctting.
such as the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Still othi x jobs are opening in food ^i/\\
service for school districts, most of which do not have nutritionists More and more businesses
are hiring them for wellness and physical fitness program^

^

In addition to a very high placement rate, graduates of the Pennsylvania consortium have
a better than 90 percent passing rate for the national exam for becoming a licensed dietitian.
"Because the consortium involves three schools," said Lanz, "students have access to a
lot of resources. This has helped earn national accreditation from the American Dietetic
Association. Our program provid^ago^jJjroad comprehensive education that serves as a
stepping stone to more specializeoGSeyst/where our graduates can become board certified."
Two other Edinboro programs with high placement rates according to the survey are
nursing (93 percent) and special education (92.5 percent). "There will be a terrible nursing
shortage by the year 2(XX)," said nursing department chairperson Mary Lou Keller. The aging of
America will see increasing numbers of retirees, including nurses, who will require more
medical care.
Currently, many hospitals are reducing their nursing staffs as part of cost cutting.
However, with the changes brought on by increased managed health care, whatever jobs may be
lost in hospitals will likely be more than made up for by community health care needs.
There is still an immediate need for nurses in the south and west in such states as Texas,
Florida, Georgia, New Mexico and North Carolina. "Graduates who are willing to relocate will
have no trouble finding a job," said Keller. "We have graduates working in Florida, Wginia and
North Carolina.
One way Edinboro's nurses find these jobs is through the Pennsylvania Student Nurses
Convention which is held in the fall, and the national conventioi^held every spring. Recruiters
from all over the nation come to the convention to make job offers to students once they
graduate. In 1989 the nursing department did a survey of its recent graduates. Of those
responding to the survey, 86 percent found jobs before graduation and another 9 percent were
employed within a month of graduation.
Dr. Sondra Dastoli, chairperson of the department of special education and school
psychology, said there has always been a demand for special education teachers, and an even
greater demand is anticipated. She pointed to legislation and deteriorating social conditions as
reasons for the continuing demand.
"In the 196(^rubella led to medical and social problems," said Dastoli. "In the 1980s
and 90s, the problems have been drug and alcohol addiction in mothers, unstructured homes,
attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. Also, the government has been recognizing more and
more disabilities, which means serving more and more children."
Another trend is inclusion - the belief that every child has the right to education in the
same classroom with his or her peers. This means special education services must be delivered
to the child in the classroom, which is creating a need for qualified, trained individuals.
Dastoli said students who major in special education often have been inspired in some
way - possibly by a family member, friend or neighbor with disabilities. By the time they
graduate from Edinboro they have had months of in-person training through field experience and
student teaching.
Hand-in-hand with the growth of demand for special education teachers has been the
demand for trained speech language pathologists. Dr. Roy Shinn, coordinator of Edinboro's
master's program said demand has expanded tremendously over the years.
The shortage of speech-language pathologists and audiologists began at about the same
time the profession broadened its scope to include such things as assessment and management of
individuals with swallowing disorders, individuals using sophisticated technology to

communicate, and working with infants, toddlers and their families.
"Speech pathology affects all age groups," said Shinn. "Eleven percent of the population
has a communication disorder of some sort. Children may have a problem with language,
speech, stuttering, voice, or temporary or permanent hearing loss. Adults may have a hearing
loss, be recovering from a stroke or head injury, or rehabilitating following surgical removal of
part or all of their Q^oice boxQlue to cancer."
Because the number of Americans over age 65 is expected to double in the next couple
of decades, a dramatic increase in the number of adults with speech, hearing, language or other
problems is also expected to increase.
Theliniversity's master's program was started by Dr. Richard Forcucci in the mid 1970s
and was accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association in 1992. Enrollment
in the two-year master's program is limited to only 30 graduate students.
"We have a 15-student per year limit in the graduate program," said Shinn. "The numbe^
of students we can accept is tightly controlled because speech pathology is very one-on-one
oriented."
Graduates of the program score well above the national average on the national
examination and are employed throughout the country. Every Edinboro graduate who responded
to the survey is employed - virtually all had jobs before they graduated - and they can expect to
make $30 $ ‘12,000 in their first job out of college. Some employers specifically request
Edinboro
thic, knowledge base, and ability to put theory into practice,"
said Shinn.
Trained speech-language pathologists are in such demand that some states are offering
financial incentives to attract them. Delaware is going so far as to pay off tuition loan debt on a
year fofyear basis up to $10,000. Vutually all 50 states have shortages in schools and hospitals.
The demand for Edinboro graduates with a bachelor's degree in social work is also
expected to be strong for some time. A number of factors ore contributing to this-. Edinboro
graduates are especially sought after because of their extensive field experience prior to
graduation. They have a 975~hour placement with a social service agency - twice the length of
time of most other colleges^j;5^d they are expected to do volunteer work in their spare time.
Many social service agencies have a preference for employees with a social work degree. A
shortage of social workers with master's degrees is causing agencies to turn to those with
bachelor's degrees. Regulations now require most nursing homes to have a social worker on
staff.
Perhaps the greatest factor in increasing the demand for social workers is the trend
toward deinstitutionalizing patients at agencies. An example of this is Warren State Hospital,
which at one time had as many as 4,000 residents. Now it has only 400. The reason for
downsizing is cost - approximately $85,000 a year per resident. States are taking the savings and
giving patients intensive community services. That's where trained social workers come in. With
some half-million social service agencies across the nation, the need for social workers is not
likely to ease soon.

Subj: "Edinboro Survey Reveals Hot Job Prospect Areas"
I received your draft press release with a note requesting that I look this over
before it is mailed out.
First of all, be sure that Denise Ohler has a chance to look it over before it
is mailed.
She had some concerns early on about placement rates being
distributed.
My suggestion is that you change the second sentence in the second paragraph to
read:
The top five categories--which had placement rates of 90 percent or better--were
for respondents who had majored in nutrition, nursing, special education,
speech-language hearing disorders, and social work.

SURVEY REVEALS HOT JOB PROSPECT AREAS

raduates, obtaining a diploma is just one step in a sometimes long
binding a job in their chosen career field. But a survey by Edinboro
i shows that for many of its graduates, the hardest part of landing a
• to take.

tdinboro conaucted a survey of former students who graduated between August of 1992
and May of 1993 to determine which majors were most successful at finding a job or attending
grad school. The top five categories - which had success rates of 90 percent or better - were for
respondents who had majored in nutrition, nursing, special education, speech-language hearing
disorders, and social work.
These careers are reflections of national trends reported by Money Magazine. In a listing
of the 50 hottest careers in America - those expected to grow the most by the year 2005 special education teachers were fourth, speech pathologists were eleventh, registered nurses
were number 22, and social workers were number 25 on the list.
f Dr. Denise Ohler, director of Edinboro’s center for advising and career services, said the
succesg"of the Edinboro grads is due not only to choosing a career that is in demand, but also to
their willingness to relocate, career or internship experience they may already have, and the
amount of effort they put forth in their studies and in career research.
“One thing that these five majors have in common is that many of their professors bring
their senior classes in here for counseling,” said Ohler. “We maintain a career resource library

which lists thousands of jobs. It’s important for students to do their own research and discovery,
because it is a skill most people will need to use all of their lives.”
According to the survey, the highest placement rate at Edinboro belongs to the graduates
of the nutrition program, which is actually a cooperative program among Edinboro, Gannon and
Mercyhurst called the Pennsylvania Consortium. Professor Sally Lanz said the demand for
nutritionists - especially those who are trained in more than one area - is very high. The U. S.
Labor Bureau forecasts a 20-28 percent increase in the need for dietitians through the year
2005.
Employment opportunities for nutritionists fall into three categories: clinical dietetics,
which involves medical and nutritional therapy; food services at such places as schools and
universities, hospitals, restaurants, and food corporations; and community nutrition. Some jobs
are available that combine expertise in two or all three of the categories.
Lanz said new graduates can find employment in a health-care setting in acute care,
long-term care, rehabilitation, or mental health. Other opportunities are with government and
community-based agencies such as the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. Still other
jobs are opening in food service for school districts, most of which do not have nutritionists.
More and more businesses and health and recreation clubs are hiring them for wellness and
physical fitness programs. Increasingly, dietitians are acting as consultants in private practice
settings.
In addition to a very high placement rate, graduates of the Pennsylvania Consortium
have a better than 90 percent passing rate for the national exam for becoming a licensed
dietitian.
“Because the consortium involves three schools,” said Lanz, “students have access to a
lot of resources. This has helped earn national accreditation from the American Dietetic
Association. Our program provides a good, broad comprehensive education that serves as a
stepping stone to more specialized areas where our graduates can become board certified.”
Two other Edinboro programs with high placement rates according to the survey are
nursing (93 percent) and special education (92.5 percent). “There will be a terrible nursing
shortage by the year 2000,” said nursing department chairperson Mary Lou Keller. The aging of
America will see increasing numbers of retirees, including nurses, who will require more

EDINBORO UNIVERSITY REPORTS CHARITABLE GIVING UP 26%
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania officials have announced that contributions during
the 1994-95 fiscal year rose by 26 percent over the previous fiscal year.
John (Jack) E. Martin, associate vice president for institutional advancement, said that
Edinboro’s $1.54 million in total 1994-95 gifts came from the following sources;
/ Alumni; $182,801, a 20 percent increase over the previous year;
/ Corporations; $65,116, a 14.5 percent increase from last year;
/ Employees; $7,930, a 27 percent rise;
/ Matching gifts; $8,723, a gain of $1,220 or 16 percent;
/ Gifts-in-kind; $584,541, up $307,005, or 11 percent. The gift to Edinboro University of
the Taylor House facility by University Services, Inc., is included in this total, Martin
said.
Donations from foundations, friends of the University, bequests, and gifts to athletics
remained stable, Martin said, and accounted for more than $690,000 of the total contributions.
Mark Carter, Edinboro’s assistant director of development, said that more than half of
the donations from the school’s alumni came from gifts and pledges to the Annual Fund, and
that most of those resulted from two phonathon fund drives held last fall and this spring.
Dennis Ranalli, a 1974 Edinboro graduate and an Alumni Association director, chaired
the 1994-95 Annual Fund drive. Ranalli is a vice president and resident manager for Merrill
Lynch in Erie.
