On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a four-year, coeducational, liberal arts college. The College has grown slowly to its current enrollment of approximately 2200 full -time day students and 500 part-time evening school students. From its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. WILKES COLLEGE - Page 7 students of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity. While academic work is the basis of the College program, the faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men." Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life. DECADES OF GROWTH AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporter~ wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control. FREEDOM OF INQUIRY Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free. UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansion of the campus. A COOPERATIVE EFFORT The original concept of community services has been strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in cooperative action. ACCREDITATION Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has been accredited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State of New York.

Education is not a right or privilege but an opportunity that carries with it obligations prescribed by the College and responsibilities shared with the student. This concept has guided the faculty and trustees in developing the philosophy and procedures of the Admissions Committee, making it possible for students of ability, determination, and soundness of character to study at Wilkes. Here the student will find an atmosphere of competitive learning in the world of ideas. His desire to undertake study at Wilkes places him among the ready men for whom education is an t•xperience in excellence. He will be charged with the responsibility for fulfilling that trust.

The Facilities of the College Buildings and Plant �The Facilities of the College Buildings and Plant The College is constantly seeking to implement and improve its facilities for instruction. A growing campus provides added classrooms, modern laboratories and research facilities. EUGENE SHEDDEN FARLEY LIBRARY The new library, completed in the summer of 1968, has been named by the Trustees in honor of the president of Wilkes College. Since 1947 Kirby Hall, the former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Morgan Kirby, has been used as the College library. The building, first named the Kirby Home for Education, was presented to the College in 1941 as a gift of Allan Kirby, son of Wilkes-Barre's most generous benefactors. It is presently being used by the Modern Foreign Language Department and contains the language laboratory, initiated by a gift of the graduating class of 1962. Experience at .Wilkes Education is the process of connecting and relating, of testing and retesting, of discover} and rediscovery. The faculty can teach the studcn t facts, but his contribution to a free society depends upon the continual expansion of his know! edge and upon its relevance to human experience. The student can strive for technical and professional competence, but the inner re sources of the mind and spirit must nourish and enrich his achievement. The new Eugene Shedden Farley Library occupies the corner of West South and South Franklin Streets. The four floors contain spacious reading rooms, student study carrels, faculty research offices; audio-visual equipment; special collection rooms. One room is devoted to Polish art treasures and exhibits of craftsmanship furnished by the W omen>s Committee for the Polish Room at Wilkes College, another contains books and papers from the estate of Attorney Gilbert McClintock, another holds historical documents presented by Admiral Harold Stark, and there is a room dedicated in memory of Eleanor Coates Farley, First Lady of Wilkes College.

Student Li£e Counseling Student Activities Social Activities Athletics Student Responsibility �Counseling The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage the student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to assist him in making sound, independent decisions; most of all he must learn to assume responsibility for all he does. FRESHMAN ORIENTATION PROGRAM The transition from the directed work of the high school to the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally causes difficulty. Several days at the beginning of the term are therefore set aside to assist freshmen in planning their academic program. Studying at Wilkes In college the teacher works with the student, challenging him to extend the limits of his mind. He encourages him to think courageously and truthfully and to create with all his resources so that he may act with independent judgment. In a college community freedom of inquiry is essential. In the world community the right of the individual to differ safeguards the freedom of During the first week, new students take aptitude, interest, foreign language, and English-placement tests. The week also gives the new students an opportunity to become acquainted with one another and to learn about the College, the curriculum, and the student activities. Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet for one hour a week to discuss informally their personal, academic, and vocational objectives. Representatives of the faculty discuss with them: l. Methods of intelligent self-directed study. 2. Standards of value in personal conduct and in relationships with others. 3. Values of the College extracurricular program. all men. 4. The value of college experiences in developing a philosophy of life. As student and teacher engage in the experience of creative thinking, the heritage of learning becomes the responsibility of everyone. By placing responsibility upon the student for planning and conducting these discussions, the College encourages clear thinking, initiative, poise, and breadth of view. �Page 42 - COUNSELING Student Activities STUDENT ADVISEMENT Students sometimes need guidance in resolving personal, social, and academic difficulties. Since a student's physical and mental health affect his studies and ·his grades, he is encouraged throughout his college career to consult with his classroom instructors, his faculty adviser, the Deans, or the Department Chairmen concerning his scholastic progress. COLLEGE CONSULTATION SERVICE The College Consultation Service offers individual assistance to students with difficulties of a personal or environmental nature. Students may apply directly to the Consultation Service for appointments or may arrange for consultation through the Deans' Office. Interviews with the specially trained staff are conducted on an en ti rely confidential basis. The student activities of the College broaden a student's interests begun in the classroom. The faculty encourages a program of extracurricular activities that contribute to the educational development of the student who chooses to participate. Student activities are designed to appeal to a wide variety of tastes and talents; as such they enjoy the support of the College community. The student activities include Athletics, Dramatics, the College Band, Debating, Choral Club, Collegians Male Chorus, Women's Chorus, Madrigal Singers, the College newspaper, the yearbook, and the literary magazine. There are four class organizations. In addition, special departmental clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic, professional, and artistic fields. These clubs are developed for students in cooperation with the faculty. All women students may become members of Theta Delta Rho, headed by its own executive committee, which plans and arranges social activities. The College requires that all campus organizations be open to all students; consequently, groups that are exclusive do not exist. All student groups work in cooperation with faculty advisers and the Deans. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Government of student affairs rests in a Council composed of annually elected members representing the classes and other student groups. The Council serves as a coordinating agency. It formulates the student activities budget; it submits this budget to the Administrative Council for approval and is responsible for the supervision of expenditures within the budget. It plans and supervises the social calendar of the College; it is responsible for the Homecoming programs; it recommends to the Council of Deans social regulations pertaining to student life. It consults with and advises the Deans and the Administrative Council. It recommends to the Administration, nominees for a ppoin tmen t to selected faculty committees. �Page 44 - STUDENT ACTIVITIES INTER-DORMITORY COUNCIL The Inter-Dormitory Council, made up of elected representatives from the men's and women's residence halls, plans and coordinates dormitory social functions and develops and administers dormitory policy in conjunction with the Council of Deans. PUBLICATIONS The students publish the Beacon, a weekly newspaper; the Manuscript, a literary magazine, issued in the Spring; and the Amnicola, the College annual. There are opportunities for students on the editorial, art, and business staffs. Graduated amounts, in the form of tuition stipends, are available to ~t~dents in the upper classes who hold editorial and managerial positions on the Beacon, the Manuscript, and the Amnicola. Students eligible for these grants should make written application to the faculty adviser of the publication before April I for review by the publications committee and the Administrative Council. Social Activities The College believes in helping students to help themselves. Groups are encouraged to initiate programs that will serve their interest and benefit others. It has been found that students gain most from those activities, social and cultural, which release the best talents of the individual. Special projects include the following: TDR's Golden Agers Christmas party, at which residents of Convalescent Homes are entertained; Student Government's party for children of St. Stanislaus Orphanage; Wilkes J.C.'s party for YMCA children; Student Work Day, in support of an orphan in a foreign land. In addition there are various social affairs to raise money for the United Fund, to collect toys for the Salvation Army, and to donate books for students in foreign countries. A full and varied program of social and recreational activities supplements the extracurricular program. At all these functions members of the faculty and their wives are invited guests · and chaperones. C0ME-AND-MEET-US-PAKI'Y Student Government makes plans for student leaders to welcome the freshmen one week before the semester starts. An informal party and dance for the entire student body culminate the week's introduction to college life. PARENTS' DAY After they have adjusted themselves to the academic life of the College, students invite their families to a weekend of social, cultural, and athletic events. Preparations for the annual Parents' Day program are entirely the responsibility of a Student Planning Committee. The agenda includes intercollegiate soccer and football games, luncheon with the faculty, a play, and a film. �Page 46 - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES HOMECOMING To welcome returning alumni, students construct displays on campus and decorate dormitory and classroom buildings. For the outstanding displays an alumni committee presents awards during halftime ceremonies at the football game. A Homecoming Queen and her escorts are feted at a dinner dance. FORMAL DANCES Student organizations and clubs sponsor four formal affairs, open to the entire student body. The Homecoming Dance, for alumni and undergraduates; the Lettermen's Christmas Formal; Theta Delta Rho's Valentine Formal; and during Spring Weekend the Cinderella Ball have become traditions on campus. TDR AND LETTERMEN TEAS Throughout the year TDR and the Lettermen sponsor afternoon teas and student receptions. The women of Theta Delta Rho entertain those high school seniors who plan to enter the College the following year. JDC CHRISTMAS PARTY The Inter-Dormitory Council sponsors an annual Christmas party preceding the winter vacation. The student body, faculty, and administration are invited to a buffet and dance. HAMPTON EXCHANGE PROGRAM IDC also sponsors a social exchange program between students from Wilkes and Hampton Institute, Hampton Roads, Virginia. Several Wilkes students and an equal number of Hampton students visit each other's campus. Faculty members and Deans accompany both groups. WILKES OPEN WRESTLING TOURNAMENT Between Christmas and New Year's the College sponsors the Wilkes Open Wrestling Championships. Known as the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling," this annual tournament attracts athletes from over sixty colleges, athletic clubs, and YMCA's throughout the Page 47 United States. Wilkes wrestlers join them in competing for individual and team awards. Tourneys and clinics are held over a three-day period in the Wilkes gymnasium. The Tournament, the largest in the country, has the record for the most number of entries. WINTER CARNIVAL Student Government sponsors a Winter Carnival, held at one of the nearby resorts in the Poconos. A day of skiing, tobagganing, and ice skating climaxes the close of the examination period. SPRING WEEKEND Student Government also plans Spring Weekend. Clubs and organizations set up gala outdoor booths, and the campus takes on a Mardi Gras atmosphere. At the Ball at midnight on Saturday a senior, chosen by the student body by secret ballot, is crowned Cinderella Queen. THE MANUSCRIPT FILMS During each semester the Manuscript Society brings to the campus distinguished motion pictures, produced by American and foreign film companies. CLUB ACTIVITIES In addition to the regular social calendar, campus organizations plan their own special activities. THE PRESIDENT'S PICNIC On the Saturday before Commencement the graduating class is invited by the President to a picnic and outing in the country. �Athletics Student Responsibility Athletics are an integral part of the activity program and as such are subject to policies set by the faculty and administration and approved by the Board of Trustees. The students in a great measure determine the influences of the College. The faculty counts upon their cooperation in establishing the highest possible standards of intellect and morals. The College may request students to withdraw when their influence and behavior are deemed detrimental to the best interests of the student body and the College. The College maintains intercollegiate schedules in eight varsity sports: football, baseball, basketball, soccer, golf, tennis, swimming, and wrestling. Men who take part in intercollegiate sports satisfy the requirements for physical education for the duration of that sport. A program of intramural sports and physical education stresses physical standards and cooperative team spirit and recreation. Every man has a chance to participate in basketball, touch football, volleyball, softball, and bowling. The athletic program for women includes dancing, folk and modern, bowling, basketball, softball, and swimming. ATHLETIC POLICY Intercollegiate athletics are introduced for the benefit of the student body and in consequence athletes receive the same consideration in admissions and in the awarding of scholarships that is given to other students. Wilkes enters into intercollegiate competition with other colleges of the Middle Atlantic Conference adhering to similar policies of admission and maintaining comparable scholastic standards. The College is a member of the Middle Atlantic Collegiate Athletic Conference, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference. It is recognized that courtesy and consideration are the basis of good relations between individuals. Informal and friendly associations between students and faculty are a tradition on campus. Although these relations are flexible, certain precedents have been established in the best interests of the individual and the College. A few are mentioned here: 1. The possession and use of liquor on campus are forbidden, and none will be served at college affairs. 2. Smoking is not permitted in classrooms or hallways, or in the library. Facilities are available in various buildings for students who may wish to smoke during their free periods. 3. Although participation in at least one student activity is encouraged, each student is responsible for planning and utilizing his time effectively. 4. The faculty cooperates with students who miss classes because of illness, or as representatives of the College, or for special religious observances; in cases of excessive absence the student shall present his instructors with a note from the Deans. In all instances the student is expected to make up the work that is missed. �The Academic Program Curricula Academic Require1nents Graduation Requirements �Curricula Graduate Programs WILKES COLLEGE DEGREE PROGRAMS Learning at Wilkes Education leads men to seek answers to problems of significance and to inquire into ideas and beliefs of eternal relevance. There is no better expression of man's purpose than his sense of belonging to a universe ruled by truth. Creative thinkers set the standards and the high aims of education. One may not reach these standards in his lifetime; that they are recognized and sought after is the measure of one's intellectual concerns. The faculty encourages the student to cultivate learning that he may grow in wisdom. In this way the mind in its journeyings finds constant surprise and delight at rediscovering itself. To fulfill its objective of service to the community and the nation, Wilkes in 1961 introduced two new curricula leading to the degrees of Master of Science in Chemistry and in Physics. These curricula are designed to make practicable either full-time graduate study toward the degrees or part-time study by engineers and scientists with appropriate undergraduate training employed in the Wilkes-Barre area. A program leading to a Master of Science degree in Biology was introduced in September, 1967. In September, 1969 two programs were introduced: one leading to a Master's Degree in Business Administration, and a second leading to a Master of Science degree in Education providing for concentration in the academic disciplines of English, history, mathematcs, biology, physics, chemistry, and elementary education. Full details of these programs are published in the bulletin of the Graduate Division. COOPERATIVE GRADUATE PROGRAMS Wilkes is cooperating with both Lehigh and Temple Universities to make graduate programs available to regional teachers and businessmen. The Temple University program leads to the degree of Master of Science in General Education and is accepted by the Commonwealth for permanent certification of classroom teachers. Candidates may register at the College. Under this cooperative program, all credits are granted by Temple University. Wilkes and Lehigh University are cooperating in offering graduate courses in education leading to a Master's Degree in Education, and graduate courses in Business Administration leading to a Master's Degree in Business Administration. Details of these graduate programs may be obtained by writing to the Director of Graduate Studies. �Page 54 - CURRICULA Undergraduate Prog~ams Wilkes is an independent, liberal arts college that offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. All course work in education required for careers in teaching is available in combination with the degree programs mentioned. The College confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, medical technology, commerce and finance, and certain areas of education. The College also offers in selected engineering fields a two-year program leading to transfer. A detailed description of these programs is provided in the sec tion of the bulletin titled " Degree Programs." Academic Requirements GRADES The primary purpose of any marking system is to inform the student of his achievement. Marks also aid in evaluating students for purposes of recommendation. Grade reports are sent to students and parents at the end of each term. Mid-term reports are sent if the work is unsatisfactory. Five numerical grades are given for academic work. Grade Interpretation 4 ...................... Academic achievement of outstanding quality. PRE -PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAM 3 ................... Academic achievement of high quality. Four years of undergraduate study are ordinarily required to qualify for the Bachelor's degree. Wilkes College makes an excep tion to this requirement for medical and dental students. 2 ········· ············. Academic achievement of acceptable quality in meeting requirements for graduation. Academic achievement of quality below the average required for graduation. These students may, with the approval of the graduation committee, satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor's degree by completing three years of undergraduate study at Wilkes and by requesting credit toward the degree for their first two years of work in graduate school. 0 .................... Academic achievement below the minimum required for course credit. Such students must petition the graduation committee for permission to graduate, submit official transcripts from the professional school, and pay the usual graduation fees. In all cases the final approval for the granting of the degree rests with the Academic Standing Committee of Wilkes College. Inc. means that a student receives an incomplete grade. Incompletes will be granted to students who because of illness or reasons beyond their control have been unable to satisfy specific course assignments. All unfinished work must be completed before the fourth week of the following term. If an incomplete is not removed within this period, the grade will be changed to a zero. COURSE CREDITS Each course at the College is assigned a specific number of credits. For example, English IOI is a 3 credit course and English 151 is a 4 credit course. Usually, credits assigned to the course are determined by the number of hours that the class meets per week. �ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS - Page 57 Page 58 - ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS POINT AVERAGES The student is given a number grade for every course in which he is enrolled. To calculate the number of points earned in a course, multiply the grade in each course by the number of credit hours for the course. To compute the point average, total these points for all courses and divide by the total number of credit hours. If these minimum averages are not attained during each semester of the year indicated, the student's record is reviewed by the Academic Standing Committee to determine whether or not he should be placed on probation or dismissed from the College. Below is an example illustrating the method used to compute point averages. A student placed on probation must attain the required grade average in the next semester or be subject to dismissal from the College. Course Credit Hrs.

The zero grade in English means that the student must repeat that course. Averages are cumulative; the work of each semester will be added to the total. To graduate a student must have at the end of his senior year a 1.85 average in all his courses and a 2.0 average in his major field. Transfer credits are not included in the calculation of grade point averages. CLASS STANDING Grades and averages at the end of each semester of the four academic years indicate a student's progress. The faculty expects students to achieve the following minimum averages: Freshman Year Sophomore Year Junior Year ........................ . General Average Major Average 1.4 1.7 1.85 1.6 1.9 2.0 PROBATION AND DISMISSAL Unless special permission is granted by the Academic Standing Committee, a student dropped for academic failure will not be considered for readmission until one year after being dropped. If readmitted the student will still be on probation and shall be given one semester in which to prove his ability to continue in college. ATTENDANCE Attendance at all classes is expected, and repeated absence is deemed a sufficient cause for failure. After five consecutive absences from a class, a student may be readmitted to the class only by action of the appropriate Dean and the Department Chairman concerned. STUDENT LOAD No students shall be allowed to carry an overload without approval of the adviser and the Dean. An overload will be permitted only for students with an average grade record of 3 or special need. WITHDRAWALS Students may change their courses during the first week of a semester, provided they secure the approval of their faculty adviser and the Dean.

THE PENNSYLVANIA INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AWARD is granted to a graduating senior who has received high grades in accounting and demonstrated qualities of leadership in other activities. �The College and the Community Office of Community Services Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra Fine Arts Fiesta Performing Arts Center �The College and the Community The College was founded to serve the community and has received a large measure of its ever-growing support from outstanding leaders in the community. It has recognized for many years that its growth was related to the economic and social redevelopment of the community and, therefore, it has sought to. participate in every effort for community betterment. In consequence, a pattern of cooperation has developed in which the College and the Community work with one another for their mutual benefit. Institute of Regional Affairs It is his own deficiency, and no degree of fate, Service at Wilkes that makes a man sink into the depths. To think there is no escape from preordained misery is to make the misery perpetual. To seek new paths in a constant renewal of strength - that has always been the secret of progress. When a man waits helplessly for the turning in the wheel of fortune, he has to be regarded as shorn of manhood. The Institute of Regional Affairs is a multi-purpose college organization which views regional problems as belonging to no simple academic discipline, but rather as a contemporary phenomenon spilling into many disciplines. It is really the natural integration of prior activities in which members of the Wilkes College faculty have engaged for at least twenty years. The Institute of Regional Affairs was created to assure the coordination of these varied efforts and better understand and resolve co~plex and contemporary problems. Its resources include not only the College faculty in the social sciences - economics, psychology, government, sociology - but also those experts in the region who can lend their talents to teaching, research, and consultation. Its four-fold purpose is: education and training, community information, research, and consultation. If we could free even one village from the shackles of helplessness and ignorance, an ideal for the whole of India would be established. Let a few villages be rebuilt in this way, and I shall say they are my India. That is the way to discover the true India. RABINDRAN ATH TAGORE Towards Universal Man 1. Labor-Management Courses To establish a climate for industrial progress, the College has pioneered a management training program under which special classes are organized for perso.n nel in industry, commerce, and banking to meet the needs of business firms in this region. Such programs are arranged in consultation with officials, foremen, and other employees to meet the specific problems of a particular company. �Page 66-COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY A program designed for members of labor unions is also tailored to the needs of a particular group. All classes are conducted on the campus where the intellectual climate stimulates free intellec tual inquiry. Union and management personnel sometimes meet together in an effort to develop that mutual understanding that is essential to constructive action. 2. Banking Short courses have been co-sponsored with both the Institute of Banking and the Savings and Loan Institute. The instructional program offered to the personnel of these two groups is intended to assist them to meet changing needs and acquire a broad knowledge in their fields. 3. Municipal Government Program The fundamental general purpose in assisting local governments has been to help make American democracy stronger by guaranteeing the semi-autonomous structure of American local government, so long as it can retain the capacity to solve its own problems. The program of training, information and consultation service, publications, and research in this field have been aimed at improving the world of local government officials, both elected and appointed. In the fall of 1964, the Glen Alden Coal Company made available an area in Hanover Township known as Concrete City - a 40 acre site - for training the police, firemen, and civil defense workers. The In-Service training program for local government officials has been offered in full cooperation with the Public Service Institute of the Department of Public Instruction, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 4. Other Activities From time to time, the Psychology Department, the Sociology Department, the Education Department, and the Guidance Center have initiated and participated in seminars, conferences, and workshops, in the fields of social welfare, mental health, and education. COLLEGE AND COMMUNITY - Page 67 As a result of the support and the success of the College's Area Research Center, an independent Economic Development Council has been established to serve Northeastern Pennsylvania. The College has supported a number of programs in their infancy and helped them become independent, community activities. Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra The Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the regis of the College in the fall of 1951, presents a series of four symphony concerts annually. A number of the members are students and faculty from the department of music of the College. Fine Arts Fiesta In 1954 several members of the Board of Trustees and the faculty assisted in the formation of the · Wilkes-Barre Fine Arts Fiesta, as part of the City's Sesquicentennial celebration. The College participates with area-wide cultural groups in this five-day festival of music, drama, and the arts presented on the public square each spring. Performing Arts Center The Center for the Performing Arts provides a varied program of cultural and educational events for the Community as well as the College. Completed in October, 1965, the gift of friends of the College, the Center has facilities for theater, dance, music, and films. Dramatic productions, student recitals, lectures, choral and band concerts, Town and Gown programs, and other cultural events are offered throughout the year. The Center is operated by the students under faculty direction and supervision. �Undergraduate Programs Bachelor of Arts Degree Bachelor of Science Degree Degree Requirements �Undergraduate Programs The program at Wilkes has been carefully designed so that students may meet the entrance requirements of graduate and professional schools. tudents planning to go to graduate school should consult as early as possible with their department chairman. In its degree programs Wilkes College provides for a broad liberal ducation and for the concentration in special areas for which students are qualified and have interest. In the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of cicnce degree programs the faculty encourages the student to achieve intellectual, social, and spiritual development. Bachelor of Arts Degree Leadership at Wilkes Those of us who are concerned with the education of young people and with the vitality of our society can never accept uncertainty and confusion as the inevitable condition of society. We therefore are confronted with two choices. We can grasp and support a rigid ideology that offers final answers by ignoring uncongenial facts and truths, or we can make every effort to comprehend the significance of new facts, new truths, and new conditions. Programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree are primarily concerned with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the men who have created it and lived in it. Studies center around men and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. Programs are designed to create breadth and perspective as opposed to more specialized skills. A liberal arts program must acquaint the student with the nature and extent of knowledge in all the principal fields. The student will carry on his explorations in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. AREAS Humanities We must endeavor to extend the vision of our students, enlarge their understanding, and prepare them to participate in strengthening and developing our social institutions. DR.

FARLEY President, Wilkes College English Fine Arts Foreign Languages Mathematics Music Philosophy - Religion Social Sci.ences Commerce and Finance Economics Education History Political Science Psychology Social Science Sociology Sciences Biology Chemistry Physics �Page 72 - DEGREE PROGRAMS DEGREE PROGRAMS - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR B.A. DEGREE The following courses are required of all candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree. They will usually be taken in the semesters indicated. In a curriculum that requires a student to begin with courses at a more advanced level, the advanced course will be accepted as fulfilling the general requirements in that subject. This is a time of specialization and of disintegration: and one is the consequence of the other. The rapid development of knowledge makes universal knowledge impossible. There is so much to know that no one can master all the knowledge available in even a single area. Because there is so much to know, specialization of study in the professions and in all work i essential.

Lang.2 103, 104Intcrmediate Over-specialization narrows the man and splinters society into group that cannot understand one another. In some instances, specialists become so involved in their narrow fields that they fail to recognize they are all indebted to the same society. Because specialization is inevitable, and because specialization can become a divisive force, Wilkes College wishes to inject into its program, courses that will broaden the horizons of its students and cultivate some understanding of the "wholeness" of modern society. To accomplish this end the College requires students to familiarize themselves with the thinking, the processes, and the institutions upon which modern society is founded. Through this program it is hoped that each student will gain breadth of vision, depth of understanding, and an ability to communicate with others so that ideas may be exchanged and understanding attained. Only men and women who combine depth of understanding with breadth of vision can become a unifying force in modern society. To provide a feasible and productive combination of courses the College's program of general education requires the student to acquire familiarity with the humanities, the social sciences, and the sciences.

It is desirable that a major be elected as early as possible, especially in the areas of biology, mathematics, and music. It is essential that the major field of concentration be elected before the beginning of the junior year. Bachelor of Science Degree The Bachelor of Science degree programs require more concentration upon a restricted area of human thought and activity. Althoug~ these programs emphasize knowledge and skill in special fields, a basic program of general education is coupled with this specialized effort.

The second year will vary depending upon the student's choice of major engineering interest. Experience has shown that students who have not had a mm1mum of four years of mathematics study in secondary school will usually require some pre-college summer course. The student may take the PreCalculus Mathematics (Math. 100) offered at Wilkes, or with the ap, proval of the mathematics department take an equivalent course at some other college or university. Credit in this remedial course does not exempt the student from any required elective in his program.

It is highly recommended that prospective mathematics majors elect French, German, or Russian in secondary school. As a rule, three years of one of these languages is more desirable than two years or less of each of two different languages. Spanish is not acceptable toward ful fillment of the language requirement in this program. Experience has shown that students who have not had a minimum of four years of mathematics study in secondary school will usually require some pre-college summer course. The student may take the Pre-Calculus Mathematics (Math. 100) offered at Wilkes, or with the approval of the department take an equivalent course at some other college or university. Credit in this remedial course does not exempt the student from any required elective in his program. Students intending to pursue graduate studies in mathematics should elect Math. 314, 341, 432, and 442. Those contemplating careers in industry are advised to take Math. 267-268 as early as possible in their programs. Students who foresee possible change to the B.A. program in order to prepare themselves as secondary or elementary school teacher are advised to elect Psy. 101-102 in their freshman year. The following program lists the sequence of course requirements for the B.S. degree in Mathematics and the semesters in which they should normally be taken. The American Society of Clinical Pathologists and the American Society of Medical Technologists recommend certain requirements for a program of training leading to a degree in medical technology. The curriculum offered at Wilkes College follows these recommendations and is presented below. The final year in this program is taken in hospitals approved for such training by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. FIRST SEMESTER Math. 31 I - Functions of a Real Var.

(Maximum of three credits per student.) �Personnel of the College Board of Trustees Administration Faculty �Commitment at Wilkes The political world is metamorphosed; new remedies must henceforth be sought for new disorders. To lay down extensive but distinct and settled limits to the action of the government; to confer certain rights on private persons, and to secure to them the undisputed enjoyment of those rights; to enable individual man to maintain whatever independence, strength, and original power he still possesses; to raise him by the side of society at large, and uphold him in that position; these appear to me the main objects of legislators in the ages upon which we are now entering. One set of men can perceive nothing in the principle of equality but the anarchical tendencies that it engenders; they dread their own free agency, they fear themselves. Other thinkers, less numerous but more enlightened, take a different view: beside that track which starts from the principle of equality to terminate in anarchy, they have at last discovered the road that seems to lead men to inevitable servitude. They shape their souls beforehand to this necessary condition; and, despairing of remaining free, they already do obeisance in their hearts to the master who is soon to appear. The former a band on freedom because they think it dangerous; the latter, because they hold it to be impossible. If I had entertained the latter conviction, I should not have written this book, but I should have confined myself to deploring in secret the destiny of mankind.

College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University }uni College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to its cur• rent enrollment of approximately 2400 full-time day students and 10 evening students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and continui education programs. From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin goa - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and program of service to the community. AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian, fo its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wish the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the com munity. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an in dependent college that was interdenominational in its influence an noR-denominational in its control. FREEDOM OF INQUIRY Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junia College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClin tock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of thei decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen th work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spir• itual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind i free. UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided b the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In it small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faith b ckgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their con,ictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity. While academic work is the basis of the College program, the facult recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless tudents emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men doctors nd lawyers, you must first make them men." Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life. A COOPERATIVE EFFORT The original concept of community effort has been streng.t hened , ith the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community ll benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in cooperative action. DECADES OF GROWTH Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their upport during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily o that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansion of the campus. ACCREDITATION \ ilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the tale of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of Colleges nd Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has been accredited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State of New York. �EVENING COLLEGE INFORMATION The College reserves the right to withdraw any course for which here is insufficient enrollment.

Formulated and adopted by the as a guide to learning. facuity �Wilkes College Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell Uni versity, responding to a request of community leaders, established its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 2,400 full-time day students and 1,000 adults in the Evening College and special classes. From its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and fl program of service to the community. AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new College should be non-sectarian , for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control. FREEDOM OF INQUIRY Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free. UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of �Page 6 - SUMMER COLLEGE WILKES COLLEGE peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity. While academic work is the basis of the College program, the faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men." A COOPERATIVE EFFORT The original concept of community services has been strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in cooperative action. DECADES OF GROWTH Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansion of the campus. ACCREDITATION Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State of New York, and the American Chemical Society. Information Curricula UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM The summer program is designed for men and women interested in accelerating degree work, and for recent high school graduates interested in beginning their college careers.

SECOND PERIOD-10:00 A.M. to 11 :30 A.M.

On June 26, 1947, Bucknell Uni versity Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a four-year, coeducational, liberal arts college. The College has grown slowly to its current enrollment of approximately 2200 full -time day students and 500 part-time e\'enin g school students. From its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian, for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non- denomin ational in its control. FREEDOM OF INQUIRY Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free. UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understand ing of peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together Page 7 students of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity. While academic work is the basis of the College program, the faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men." Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life. DECADES OF GROWTH Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansion of the campus. A COOPERATIVE EFFORT The original concept of community services has been strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in cooperative action. ACCREDITATION Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has been accredited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State of New York. The Chemistry curriculum is approved by the American Chemical Society. �Policies and Objectives An seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding; Educated possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments; Man is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among men; Admissions has faith in the power of ideals to shape the lives of men; Registration knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical endurance; Tuition, Fees, and Expenses cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich his daily living and sustain him in times of crisis; Financial Assistance has ethical standards by which he lives; respects the religious convictions of all men; participates constructively in the social, economic, cultural, and political life of the community; communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding unites men in their search for truth. Formulated and adopted by the faculty as a guide to learning. �Admissions True education demands a love of learning and a spirit of sacrifice and service. Education is not a right or privilege but an opportunity that carries with it obligations prescribed by the College and responsibilities shared with the student. This concept has guided the faculty and trustees in developing the philosophy and procedures of the Admissions Committee, making it possible for students of ability, determination, and soundness of character to study at Wilkes. Here the student will find an atmosphere of competitive learning in the world of ideas. His desire to undertake study at Wilkes places him among the ready men for whom education is an experience in excellence. He will be charged with the responsibility for fulfilling that trust. The careful selection of able and committed students is deemed essential to the attainment of high standards and warm personal relationships between students and faculty. Education at Wilkes The spirit of the College derives from the ideals of the faculty and the quality of its in· struction; from its library, its laboratories and equipment. The spirit of the College is the integrity of its mission, the intellectual climate that enriches the student as a person. The College believes that no attention can be too great which intensifies a student's thinking or deepens his interest or develops his techniques and skills.

The Facilities of the College Buildings and Plant �The Facilities of the College Buildi~gs and Plant The College is constantly seeking to implement and improve its facilities for instruction. A growing campus provides added classrooms, modern laboratories and research facilities. EUGENE SHEDDEN FARLEY LIBRARY The new library, completed in the summer of 1968, has been named by the Trustees in honor of the first president of Wilkes College. Since 1947 Kirby Hall, the former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Morgan Kirby, has been used as the College library. The building, first named the Kirby Home for Education, was presented to the College in 1941 as a gift of Allan Kirby, son of Wilkes-Barre's most generous benefactors. It is presently being used by the Modern Foreign Language Department and contains the language laboratory, initiated by a gift of the graduating class of 1962. Education is the process of connecting and relating, of testing and retesting, of discovery and rediscovery. Experience at Wilkes The faculty can teach the student facts, but his contribution to a free society depends upon the continual expansion of his knowledge and upon its relevance to human experience. The student can strive for technical and professional competence, but the inner re sources of the mind and spirit must nourish and enrich his achievement. The new Eugene Shedden Farley Library occupies the corner of West South and South Franklin Streets. The four floors contain spacious reading rooms, student study carrels, faculty research offices; audio-visual equipment; special collection rooms. One room is devoted to Polish art treasures and exhibits of craftsmanship furnished by the Women's Committee for the Polish Room at Wilkes College, another contains books and papers from the estate of Attorney Gilbert McClintock, another holds historical documents presented by Admiral Harold Stark, and there is a room dedicated in memory of Eleanor Coates Farley, First Lady of Wilkes College. The library contains more than 100,000 volumes and 1,350 current periodicals and journals, with space provided for a total of 300,000 volumes and study area for 600 students. Shelved on open stacks, books are easily accessible and may be borrowed for periods of two weeks. Reserve books for particular courses circulate for the �Page 36 - BUILDINGS AND PLANT time period specified by the instructor. Students may borrow books from the ten nearby libraries (public and college) through the inter-library loan system. An introduction to the uses of the library is given to every freshman during the freshman orientation week. The schedule of library hours is announced at the beginning of each academic session. ST ARK HALL OF SCIENCE The departments of biology, chemistry, and physics are housed in Stark Hall of Science, named in honor of Admiral Harold R. Stark, former Chief of Naval Operations and currently Honorar} Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the College. This building was completed in 1958 and enlarged in 1963, so that it now provides approximately 85,000 square feet of modern classroom, laboratory, and office space. Complete facilities are included for undergraduate instruction and student research in all departments, and for graduate study in biology, chemistry, and in physics. In addition to the usual instructional facilities, Stark Hall houses the Science Research Center, where faculty, graduate students, and selected undergraduate students conduct various research programs, many with industrial or governmental financial support. Research in the sciences has included such varied work as research in allergy, immunochemistry, developmental plant morphology, protozoology, limnology, theoretical acoustics, atmospheric physics, experimental solid state physics, thermochemistry, surface chemistry, fuel cell research, and organic synthesis. Outside sponsors of recent research programs included the National Science Foundation, the Pennsylvania Heart Association, the National Institutes of Health, the United States Air Force, the Petroleum Research Fund of the American Chemical Society, and numerous private industries and individuals.

DORM ITORIES Over 25 dormitories are named after prominent local families and for patriots of the American Revolutionary War, whose history forms part of the rich heritage of the W yoming Valley region. Student Life Counseling Student Activities Social Activities Student Responsibility Athletics �Counseling The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage the student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to assist him in making sound, independent decisions; most of all he must learn to assume responsibility for all he does. FRESHMAN ORIENTATION PROGRAM The transition from the directed work of the high school to the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally causes difficulty. Several days at the beginning of the term are therefore set aside to assist freshmen in planning their academic program. Studying at Wilkes In college the teacher works with the student, challenging him to extend the limits of his mind. He encourages him to think courageously and truthfully and to create with all his resources so that he may act with independent judgment. In a college community freedom of inquiry is essential. In the world community the right of the individual to differ safeguards the freedom of all men. As student and teacher engage in the experience of creative thinking, the heritage of learning becomes the responsibility of everyone. During the first week, new students may take aptitude and in terest tests. The week also gives the new students an opportunity to become acquainted with one another and to learn about the College, the curriculum, and the student activities. Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet for one hour a week to discuss informally their personal, academic, and vocational objectives. Representatives of the faculty and stu dent body discuss with them: l. Methods of intelligent self-directed study. 2. Standards of value in personal conduct and in relationships with others. 3. Values of the College extracurricular program. 4. The value of college experiences in developing a philosophy of life. By placing responsibility upon the student for planning and conducting these discussions, the College encourages clarity of thought and expression, initiative, poise, and breadth of view. �Page 44 - STUDENT ACTIVITIES STUDENT ADVISEMENT Students sometimes need guidance in resolving personal, social, and academic difficulties. Since a student's physical and mental health affect his studies and his grades, he is encouraged throughout his college career to consult with his classroom instructors, his faculty adviser, the Deans, or the Department Chairmen concerning his scholastic progress. COLLEGE CONSULTATION SERVICE The College Consultation Service offers individual assistance to students with difficulties of a personal or environmental nature. Students may apply directly to the Consultation Service for appointments or may arrange for consultation through the Deans' Office. Interviews with the specially trained staff are conducted on an entirely confidential basis. Student Activities The student activities of the College broaden a student's interests begun in the classroom. The faculty encourages a program of extracurricular activities that contribute to the educational development of the student who chooses to participate. Student activities are designed to appeal to a wide variety of tastes and talents; as such they enjoy the support of the College community. The student activities include Athletics, Dramatics, the College Band, Debating, Choral Club, Collegians Male Chorus, Women's Chorus, Madrigal Singers, the College newspaper, the yearbook, and the literary magazine. There are four class organizations. In addition, special departmental clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic, professional, and artistic fields. These clubs are developed for students in cooperation with the faculty. All women students may become members of Theta Delta Rho, headed by its own executive committee, which plans and arranges social activities. POLICY The College requires that all campus organizations be open to all students; consequently, groups that are exclusive do not exist. All student groups work in cooperation with faculty advisers and the Deans. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Government of student affairs rests in a Council composed of annually el~cted members representing the classes and other student groups. The Council serves as a coordinating agency. It formulates the student activities budget; it submits this budget to the Administrative Council for approval and is responsible for the supervision of expenditures within the budget. It plans and supervises the social calendar of the College; it is responsible for the Homecoming programs; it recommends to the Council of Deans social regulations pertaining to student life. It consults with and advises the Deans and the Administrative Council. It recommends to the Administration, nominees for appointment to selected faculty committees. �Page 46 - STUDENT ACTIVITIES Social Activities INTER-DORMITORY COUNCIL The Inter-Dormitory Council, made up of elected representatives from the men's and women's residence halls, plans and coordinates dormitory social functions and develops and administers dormitory policy in conjunction with the Council of Deans. The College believes in helping students to help themselves. Groups are encouraged to initiate programs that will serve their interest and benefit others. It has been found that students gain most from those activities, social and cultural, which release the best talents of the individual. PUBLICATIONS The students publish the Beacon, a weekly newspaper; the Manuscript, a literary magazine, issued in the Spring; and the Amnicola, the College annual. There are opportunities for students on the editorial, art, and business staffs. Graduated amounts, in the form of tuition stipends, are available to students in the upper classes who hold editorial and managerial positions on the Beacon, the Manuscript, and the Amnicola. Students eligible for these grants should make written application to the faculty adviser of the publication before April 1 for review by the publications committee and the Administrative Council. Special projects include the following: TDR's Golden Agers Christmas party, at which residents of Convalescent Homes are entertained; Student Government's party for children of St. Stanislaus Orphanage; Wilkes J.C.'s party for YMCA children; Student Work Day, in support of an orphan in a foreign land. In addition there are various social affairs to raise money for the United Fund, to collect toys for the Salvation Army, and to donate books for students in foreign countries. A full and varied program of social and recreational activities supplements the extracurricular program. At all these functions members of the faculty and their wives are invited guests and chaperones. COME -AND-MEET-US -PARTY Student Government makes plans for student leaders to welcome the freshmen one week before the semester starts. An informal party and dance for the entire student body culminate the week's introduction to college life. PARENTS' DAY After they have adjusted themselves to the academic life of the College, students invite their families to a weekend of social, cultural, and athletic events. Preparations for the annual Parents' Day program arc entirely the responsibility of a Student Planning Committee. The agenda includes intercollegiate soccer and football games, luncheon with the faculty, a play, and a film. �Page 48 - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - Page 49 HOMECOMING To welcome returning alumni, students construct display on campus and decorate dormitory and classroom buildings. For the outstanding displays an alumni committee presents awards during halftime ceremonies at the football game. A Homecoming Queen and her escorts are feted at a dinner dance. United States. Wilkes wrestlers join them in competing for individual and team awards. Tourneys and clinics are held over a three-day period in the Wilkes gymnasium. The Tournament, the largest in the country, has the record for the most number of entries. WINTER CARNIVAL FORMAL DANCES Student organizations and clubs sponsor four formal affairs, open to the entire student body. The Homecoming Dance, for alumni and undergraduates; the Lettermen's Christmas Formal; Theta Delta Rho's Valentine Formal; and during Spring Weekend the Cinderella Ball have become traditions on campus. TDR AND LETTERMEN TEAS Throughout the year TDR and the Lettermen sponsor afternoon teas and student receptions. The women of Theta Delta Rho entertain those high school seniors who plan to enter the College the following year. Student Government sponsors a Winter Carnival, held at one of the nearby resorts in the Poconos. A day of skiing, tobagganing, and ice skating climaxes the clo-,e of the examination period. SPRING WEEKEND Student Government also plans Spring Weekend. Clubs and organizations set up gala outdoor booths, and the campus takes on a Mardi Gras atmosphere. At the Ball at midnight on Saturday a senior, chosen by the student body by secret ballot, is crowned Cinderella Queen. THE MANUSCRIPT FILMS JDC CHRISTMAS PARTY The Inter-Dormitory Council sponsors an annual Christmas party preceding the winter vacation. The student body, faculty, and administration are invited to a buffet and dance. During each semester the Manuscript Society brings to the campus distinguished motion pictures, produced by American and foreign film companies. CLUB ACTIVITIES HAMPTON EXCHANGE PROGRAM IDC also sponsors a social exchange program between students from Wilkes and Hampton Institute, Hampton Roads, Virginia. Several Wilkes students and an equal number of Hampton students visit each other's campus. Faculty members and Deans accompany both groups. WILKES OPEN WRESTLING TOURNAMENT Between Christmas and New Year's the College sponsors the Wilkes Open Wrestling Championships. Known as the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling," this annual tournament attracts athletes from over sixty colleges, athletic clubs, and YMCA's throughout the In addition to the regular social calendar, campus organizations plan their own special activities. THE PRESIDENT'S PICNIC On the Saturday before Commencement the graduating class is invited by the President to a picnic and outing in the country. �Athletics Athletics are an integral part of the activity program and as such are subject to policies set by the faculty and administration and approved by the Board of Trustees. The College maintains intercollegiate schedules in nine varsity sports: football, baseball, basketball, soccer, golf, tennis, swimming, wrestling, and lacrosse. Men who take part in intercollegiate sports satisfy the requirements for physical education for the duration of that sport. Student Responsibility The students in a great measure determine the influences of the Colle~e. The fa~ulty counts upon their cooperation in establishing the highest possible standards of intellect and morals. The College may request students to withdraw when their influence and behavior are deemed detrimental to the best interests of the student body and the College. It is recognized that courtesy and consideration are the basis of g~o~ relations between individuals. Informal and friendly assoc1at10ns between students and faculty are a tradition on campus. A program of intramural sports and physical education stresses physical standards and cooperative team spirit and recreation. Every man has a chance to participate in basketball, touch football, volleyball, softball, and bowling. The athletic program for women includes dancing, folk and modern, bowling, basketball, softball, and swimming. Although these relations are flexible, certain precedents have been established in the best interests of the individual and the College. A few are mentioned here: ATHLETIC POLICY I. The possession and use of liquor on campus are forbidden and none will be served at college affairs. ' Intercollegiate athletics are introduced for the benefit of the student body and in consequence athletes receive the same consideration in admissions and in the awarding of scholarships that is given to other students. Wilkes enters into intercollegiate competition with other colleges of the Middle Atlantic Conference adhering to similar policies of admission and maintaining comparable scholastic standards. The College is a member of the Middle Atlantic Collegiate Athletic Conference, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference. 2. Smoking is not permitted in classrooms or hallways, or in the library. Facilities are available in various buildings for students who may wish to smoke during their free periods. 3. Although participation in at least one student activity is encouraged, each student is responsible for planning and utilizing his time effectively. 4. The faculty cooperates with students who miss classes beca~s~ of illness, or as representatives of the College, or for special religious observances; in cases of excessive absence the student shall present his instructors with a note from the Deans. In all instances the student is expected to make up the work that is missed. �The Academic Program Curricula Academic Requirements Graduation Requirements �Curricula Graduate Programs WILKES COLLEGE DEGREE PROGRAMS Learning at Wilkes Education leads men to seek answers to problems of significance and to inquire into ideas and beliefs of eternal relevance. There is no better expression of man's purpose than his sense of belonging to a universe ruled by truth. Creative thinkers set the standards and the high aims of education. One may not reach these standards in his lifetime; that they are recognized and sought after is the measure of one's intellectual concerns. The faculty encourages the student to cultivate learning that he may grow in wisdom. In this way the mind in its journeyings finds constant surprise and delight at rediscovering itself. To fulfill its objective of service to the community and the nation, Wilkes in 1961 introduced two new curricula leading to the degrees of Master of Science in Chemistry and in Physics. These curricula are designed to make practicable either full-time graduate study toward the degrees or part-time study by engineers and scientists with appropriate undergraduate training employed in the Wilkes-Barre area. A program leading to a Master of Science degree in Biology was introduced in September, 1967. In September, 1969 two programs were introduced: one leading to a Master's Degree in Business Administration, and a second leading to a Master of Science degree in Education providing for concentration in the academic disciplines of English, history, mathematcs, biology, physics, chemistry, and elementary education. Full details of these programs are published in the bulletin of the Graduate Division. COOPERATIVE GRADUATE PROGRAMS Wilkes is cooperating with both Lehigh and Temple Universities to make graduate programs available to regional teachers and businessmen. The Temple University program leads to the degree of Master of Science in General Education and is accepted by the Commonwealth for permanent certification of classroom teachers. Candidates may register at the College. Under this cooperative program, all credits are granted by Temple University. Wilkes and Lehigh University are cooperating in offering graduate courses in education leading to a Master's Degree in Education, and graduate courses in Business Administration leading to a Master's Degree in Business Administration. Details of these graduate programs may be obtained by writing to the Director of Graduate Studies. �Page 58 - ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS Undergraduate Programs Wilkes is an independent, liberal arts college that offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. All course work in education required for careers in teaching is available in combination with the degree programs mentioned. The College confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, medical technology, commerce and finance, and certain areas of education. The College also offers in selected engineering fields a two-year program leading to transfer. A detailed description of these programs is provided in the section of the bulletin titled "Degree Programs." PRE-PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAM Four years of undergraduate study are ordinarily required to qualify for the Bachelor's degree. Wilkes College makes an exception to this requirement for medical and dental students. These students may, with the approval of the Academic Standing Committee, satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor's degree by completing three years of undergraduate study at Wilkes and by requesting credit toward the degree for their first two years of work in graduate school. Such students must petition the Academic Standing Committee for permission to graduate, submit official transcripts from the professional school, and pay the usual graduation fees. In all cases the final approval for the granting of the degree rests with the Academic Standing Committee of Wilkes College. Academic Requirements GRADES The primary purpose of any marking system is to inform the student of his achievement. Marks also aid in evaluating students for purposes of recommendation. Grade reports are sent to students and parents at the end of each term. Mid-term reports are sent if the work is unsatisfactory. Five numerical grades are given for academic work. Grade 4 3 2 Interpretation Academic achievement of outstanding quality. Academic achievement of high quality. Academic achievement of acceptable quality in meeting requirements for graduation. Academic achievement of quality below the average required for graduation. 0 Academic achievement below the minimum required for course credit. Inc. means that a student receives an incomplete grade. Incomplctes will be granted to students who because of illness or reasons beyond their control have been unable to satisfy specific course assignments. All unfinished work must be completed before the fourth week of the following term. If an incomplete is not removed within this period, the grade will be changed to a zero. COURSE CREDITS Each course at the Co,llege is assigned a specific number of credits. For example, English l Ol is a 3 credit course and English 151 is a 4 creait course. Usually, credits assigned to the course are determined by the number of hours that the class meets per week. �ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS - Page 59 Page 58 - ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS POINT AVERAGES The student is given a number grade for every course in which he is enrolled. To calculate the number of points earned in a course, multiply the grade in each course by the number of credit hours for the course. To compute the point average, total these points for all courses and divide by the total number of credit hours. Below is an example illustrating the method used to compute point averages. Course Credit Hrs.

The zero grade in English means that the student must repeat that course. Averages are cumulative; the work of each semester will be added to the total. To graduate a student must have at the end of his ATTENDANCE Attendance at all classes is expected, and repeated absence is deemed a sufficient cause for failure. After five consecutive absences from a class, a student may be readmitted to the class only by action of the appropriate Dean and the Department Chairman concerned. senior year a 1.85 average in all his courses and a 2.0 average in STUDENT LOAD his major field.

THE OUTSTANDING GRADUATE OF THE YEAR AWARD is given by the Wilkes College Alumni Association to the graduate considered by a special faculty committee to have made the strongest contribution to the life of the College. Undergraduate Awards THE MRS. JAMES McKANE AWARDS of $25 each are made to the man and woman in the junior class who have ranked highest in their class throughout their first two years of college. THE LINDA MORRIS AWARD is given by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Morris in memory of their daughter, Linda, to that young woman who has maintained the highest academic record through the first three years at Wilkes College. THE JOHN WILKES, INC., ANNUAL FORENSIC AWARD is made annually to the Wilkes student who has demonstrated outstanding ability in the field of forensics during the previous year. THE WILKES FACULTY WOMEN'S AWARD is given to the sophomore woman who has ranked first in her class during her freshman year. �Page 64 - A WARDS THE APLHA RHO CHAPTER OF THE DELTA KAPPA GAM MA SOCIETY AWARD is offered annually to an outstanding young woman in the field of education. The Alpha Rho Committee on Professional Affairs, in cooperation with the Wilkes College Administration, will select a Junior student from Wyoming Valley who shows a concern for and a commitment to the education of young people and who possesses those qualities of enthusiastic leadership which will contribute to the advancement of the teaching profession. The College and the Community Office of Community Services Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra Fine Arts Fiesta Performing Arts Center �The College and the Community The College was founded to serve the community and has received a large measure of its ever-growing support from outstanding leaders in the community. It has recognized for many years that its growth was related to the economic and social redevelopment of the community and, therefore, it has sought to participate in every effort for community betterment. In consequence, a pattern of cooperation has developed in which the College and the Community work with one another for their mutual benefit. Institute of Regional Affairs It is his own deficiency, and no degree of fate, Service at Wilkes that makes a man sink into the depths. To think there is no escape from preordained misery is to make the misery perpetual. To seek new paths in a constant renewal of strength - that has always been the secret of progress. When a man waits helplessly for the turning in the wheel of fortune, he has to be regarded as shorn of manhood. If we could free even one village from the shackles of helplessness and ignorance, an ideal for the whole of India would be established. Let a few villages be rebuilt in this way, and I shall say they are my India. That is the way to discover the true India. RABINDRAN ATH TAGORE Towards Universal Man The Institute of Regional Affairs is a multi-purpose college organization which views regional problems as belonging to no simple academic discipline, but rather as a contemporary phenomenon spilling into many disciplines. It is really the natural integration of prior activities in which members of the Wilkes College faculty have engaged for at least twenty years. The Institute of Regional Affairs was created to assure the coordination of these varied efforts and better understand and resolve complex and contemporary problems. Its resources include not only the College faculty in the social sciences - economics, psychology, government, sociology - but also those experts in the region who can lend their talents to teaching, research, and consultation. Its four-fold purpose is: education and training, community information, research, and consultation. I. Labor-Management Courses To establish a climate for industrial progress, the College has pioneered a management training program under which special classes are organized for personnel in industry, commerce, and banking to meet the needs of business firms in this region. Such programs are arranged in consultation with officials, foremen, and other employees to meet the specific problems of a particular company. �Page 68 - THE COLLEGE AND THE COMMUNITY A program designed for members of labor unions is also tailored to the needs of a particular group. All classes are conducted on the campus where the intellectual climate stimulates free intellectual inquiry. Union and management personnel sometimes meet together in an effort to develop that mutual understanding that is essential to constructive action. 2. Banking Short co.urses have been co-sponsored with both the Institute of Banking and the Savings and Loan Institute. The instructional program offered to the personnel of these two groups is intended to assist them to meet changing needs and acquire a broad knowledge in their fields. 3. Municipal Government Program The fundamental general purpose in assisting local governments has been to help make American democracy stronger by guaranteeing the semi-autonomous structure of American local government, so long as it can retain the capacity to solve its own problems. The program of training, information and consultation service, publications, and research in this field have been aimed at improving the world of local government officials, both elected and appointed. In the fall of 1964, the Glen Alden Coal Company made available an area in Hanover Township known as Concrete City - a 40 acre site - for training the police, firemen, and civil defense workers. The In-Service training program for local government officials has been offered in full cooperation with the Public Service Institute of the Department of Public Instruction, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 4. Other Activities From time to time, the Psychology Department, the Sociology Department, the Education Department, and the Guidance Center have initiated and participated in seminars, conferences, and workshops, in the fields of social welfare, mental health, and education. THE COLLEGE AND THE COMMUNITY - Page 69 Economic Development Council As a result of the support and the success of the College's Area Research Center, an independent Economic Development Council has been established to serve Northeastern Pennsylvania. The College has supported a number of programs in their infancy and helped them become independent, community activities. Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra !he Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the regis of the College in the fall of l 95 l, presents a series of four symphony concerts annually. A number of the members are students and faculty from the department of music of the College. Fine Arts Fiesta I_n 195~ several mem~ers of the Board of Trustees and the faculty assisted m the format10n of the Wilkes-Barre Fine Arts Fiesta a_s _part of :he City's Sesquicentennial celebration. The College par~ t1cipates with area-wide cultural groups in this five-day festival of music, drama, and the arts presented on the public square each spring. Performing Arts Center The Center for the Performing Arts provides a varied program of cultural and educational events for the Community as well as the College. Completed in October, 1965, the gift of Mrs. Dorothy Dickson Darte, the Center has facilities for theater, dance, music, and films. Dramatic productions, student recitals, lectures, choral and band concerts, Town and Gown programs, and other cultural events are offered throughout the year. The Center is operated by the students under faculty direction and supervision. �Undergraduate Programs Bachelor of Arts Degree Bachelor of Science Degree Degree Requirements �Undergraduate Programs The program at Wilkes has been carefully designed so that students may meet the entrance requirements of graduate and professional schools. Students planning to go to graduate school should consult as early as possible with their department chairman. In its degree programs Wilkes College provides for a broad liberal education and for the concentration in special areas for which students are qualified and have interest. In the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree programs the faculty encourages the student to achieve intellectual, social, and spiritual development. Bachelor of Arts Degree Leadership at Wilkes Those of us who are concerned with the education of young people and with the vitality of our society can never accept uncertainty and confusion as the inevitable condition of society. We therefore are confronted with two choices. We can grasp and support a rigid ideology that offers final answers by ignoring uncongenial facts and truths, or we can make every effort to comprehend the significance of new facts, new truths, and new conditions. We must endeavor to extend the vision of our students, enlarge their understanding, and prepare them to participate in strengthening and developing our social institutions. S. FARLEY First President of Wilkes College DR. EUGENE Programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree are primarily concerned with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and of the men who have created it and lived in it. Studies center around men and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. Programs are designed to create breadth and perspective as opposed to more specialized skills. A liberal arts program must acquaint the student with the nature and extent of knowledge in all the principal fields. The student will carry on his explorations in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.

To lay down extensive but distinct and settled limits to the action of the government; to confer certain rights on private persons, and to secure to them the undisputed enjoyment of those rights; to enable individual man to maintain whatever independence, strength, and original power he still possesses; to raise him by the side of society at large, and uphold him in that position; these appear to me the main objects of legislators in the ages upon which we are now entering. One set of men can perceive nothing in the principle of equality but the anarchical tendencies that it engenders; they dread their own free agency, they fear themselves. Other thinkers, less numerous but more enlightened, take a different view: beside that track which starts from the principle of equality to terminate in anarchy, they have at last discovered the ro.a d that seems to lead men to inevitable servitude. They shape their souls beforehand to this necessary condition; and, despairing of remaining free, they already do obeisance in their hearts to the master who is soon to appear. The former abandon freedom because they think it dangerous; the latter, because they hold it to be impossible. If I had entertained the latter conviction, I should not have written this book, but I should have confined myself to deploring in secret the destiny of mankind. Board of Trustees R.

On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 2400 full-time day students and 1000 evening students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs. From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian, for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control. FREEDOM OF INQUIRY Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free. b~c~grounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their conv1ct10ns and their loyalti~s. It encourages them to create friendships based up~n respect for differences, and to adhere to thos e id eals that cren le umty and good will amidst diversity. While. academic work i_s the _b~sis of the College program, the faculty recogmzes that academic trammg will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men doctors nnd lawyers, you must first make them men." Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life. A COOPERATIVE EFFORT ,· The origi~al concept of community effort has been strengthened \\1th the passrng of the years and with growing experience. It has been clearly that. the students ' the College , and th e commum·t y 11 b demonstrated fi f ~ ene t. rom co?perat1ve effort. This cooperative relationship, with ~ts emphasi~ on tr~med intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in cooperative act10n. DECADES OF GROWTH Because. of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their support_ durm~ the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily s,0 that it now rncludes most of the properties facing the River Common l·forhtunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansio~ o t e campus. ACCREDITATION S Wil~es is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the Pennsylvama and the Middle States Association of Colleges 1~10 ~n db 5 econdary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has been accred ile Y the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State of N York. ew ° UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths, 5 4 �EVENING COLLEGE The College reserves the right to withdraw any course for which there is insufficient enrollment.

On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 2400 full-time day students and 1000 evening students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs. knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical endurance; From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among men; cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich his daily living and sustain him in times of crisis; has ethical standards by which he lives; respects the religious convictions of all men; participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community; communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding unites men in their search for truth. Formulated and adopted by the faculty as a guide to learning. AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian, for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control. FREEDOM OF INQUIRY Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free. UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths, 2 3 �backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity. EVENING COLLEGE INFORMATION While academic work is the basis of the College program, the faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men." CURRICULA UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM _To meet the needs of ambitious men and women who desire the hel which may come !ram college instruction, Wilkes College offers a wid~ prog~am of_ E~e?mg courses from which selections may be made accordmg to md1v1dual tastes and requirements. Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life. A COOPERATIVE EFFORT The original concept of community effort has been strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in cooperative action. 1:hale colurses offered by the Evening College are designed for their speci va ue to the following groups: 1 · rh~se employed in business or governmental organizations who esire and need training to fit them for advancement. 2 · Mte_n _a ndf women who wish to prepare themselves by study and rammg or work in a new field.

LABOR-MANAGEMENT TRAINING COURSES To establish a climate for industrial redevelopment the College has pioneered a Labor-Management Training Program in which the needs of the individual and the company are analyzed. Plans are arranged in consultation with officials, foremen, and other employees and are designed to meet the general and specific requirements of the particular group. Where several firms are confronted with common problems, special classes are organized to include representation of several companies. INSTITUTE OF REGIONAL AFFAIRS The Institute of Regional Affairs is a multi-purpose college organization which views regional problems as belonging to no simple academic discipline, but rather as a contemporary phenomenon spilling into many disciplines. The Institute was created to assure coordination of varied efforts in order to better understand and resolve complex and contemporary problems. Its four-fold purpose is: education and training, community information, research, and consultation. The underlying philosophy of the Institute of Regional Affairs is cooperation, rather than reform of partisanship. FACILITIES The College is located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in the heart of the picturesque and historic Wyoming Valley. This ideal location in the foothills of the Poconos offers abundant cultural and recreational facilities and affords close proximity and convenient transportation to the metropolitan areas of New York and Philadelphia. 6 Tuition -$60 per semester hour credit. ces:!!:. charges must be paid at the time registration forms are pro- . be p~~~~~/;dthseuptpliesfmay hbe purchased at the bookstore and must 1me o pure ase. .

Wilkes-Barre • Pennsylvania �An Educated Man seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding; possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments; is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among men; has faith in the power of ideals to shape the lives of men; knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical endurance; cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich his daily living and sustain him in times of crisis; has ethical standards by which he lives; respects the religious convictions of all men; participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community; communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding unites men in their search for truth. Formulated and adopted by the faculty as a guief,e to learning. �Wilkes College Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University, responding to. a request of community leaders, established its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 2,400 full-time day students and 1,000 adults in the Evening College and special classes. From its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new College should be non-sectarian, for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control. FREEDOM OF INQUIRY Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junlor College to a lo.cal Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the 'Wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing des.ire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free. UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of �SUMMER COLLEGE peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity. While academic work is the basis of the College program, the faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men." A COOPERATIVE EFFORT The original concept of community services has been strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in cooperative action. DECADES OF GROWTH Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansion of the campus. ACCREDITATION Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State of New York, and the American Chemical Society.

The flrst Master of Science Degrees were conferred in l 965. The College Board of Trustees authorized expansion of the Graduate Program into the fleld of biology in 1966, and education and business admin - istration in 1969. SUMMER COLLEGE An extensive program O f graduate courses . . will be offered during the summer o f 1971 and will be available in . two con~ . . ns and one evenmg session. secutive 5-week d ay sess10 . 8-week h h dule with the ff t will be made to coordmate t e sc e Some e or h ·r ses public school schedules. The calendar and t e spec1 ic cour to be offered will be released at a later date. The graduate programs are approved by the Department of Public Instruction of Pennsylvania. The graduate programs are designed to provide the opportunity for completion of a Master's Degree in one to two years of full-time study. Cycling of graduate courses allows a fulltime student to plan for continuous progress in his program. The programs also aUow businessmen, engineers, scientists, and teachers employed in the region to continue their studies without interrupting their employment. To permit a combination of work and study, classes may meet during the early evening hours. Under these circumstances such courses usually consist of two I ½-hour evening sessions or one 3-hour session per week and carry 3 hours of credit. Cooperative Graduate Programs Wilkes Co11ege is cooperating with a number of institutions in the Lehigh Regional Consortium for graduate teacher educa- tion to provide professional graduate education on the master's level for elementary and secondary classroom teachers. Wilkes also cooperates with Temple University to offer a master's program for teachers. This program leads to a Master of Science Degree in General Education and is accepted by the Commonwealth for permanent certification of classroom teachers. Candidates may register and take courses at the College with all credits granted by Temple University. 2 3 �Admission As a general rule only well qualified men and women who have completed a normal four-year program leading to the bachelor's degree will be considered for admission to the graduate division. It is expected that candidates for admission shall have above average performance during their undergraduate years and shall show evidence of intellectual and temperamental fitness for graduate study. It is recommended that applicants take the Graduate Record Examination and forward their scores to the college in support of their applications. If an applicant fails to satisfy the requirement of demonstrated above average performance in his major field, the Graduate Record Examination is mandatory. In the graduate department of biology, the Graduate Record Examination is required of all applicants. Applicants for the M .B.A. must take the Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business. Specific departmental requirements established for each area of study are to be found herein. Each applicant should consult these requirements prior to filing an application . Admission may be granted under the following categories: 1. Regular,_, granted to students who have demonstrated an acceptable level of academic work in their undergraduate program and are prepared for work at the graduate level in their field of specialization ; 2. Provisional ,_, granted to students who satisfy the general admission requirements but have undergraduate deficiencies. Each department determines its own mechanism for removal of these deficiencies before regular admission is given; 3. Special ,_, granted to non-degree students. Admission is for one year only. Seniors at Wilkes College may be permitted to enroll in certain graduate courses with the approval of the chairman of their undergraduate department and the Director of Graduate Studies. Credit for such courses will ordinarily be at the undergraduate level. Under certain conditions a student may be permitted to register for graduate credit. In no case will a student be given both undergraduate and graduate credit for any course. 4 Academic Requirements A total _of 30 credits is required for the Master's Degree. These reqmred credits must be obtained within six calendar years preceding the granting of the degree. No more than six graduate credits may be accepted for transfer from another institution. Numerical grades are given for graduate work. 1 - Academic achievement of outstanding quality. 3 - Academic achievement of acceptable quality in meeting requirements for graduation. 2 - Academic achievement of quality below the average required for graduation. 0 - Academic achievement below the minimum required for course credit. A minimum average of 3.0 is required for graduation with the master's degree. A student who is given regular admission and who receives more than 11 credits of 2 or below or who receives more than one grade of O in graduate courses shall be in eligible to receive the master's degree. Departmental requirements in chemistry and physics allow two options with respect to the disser tation. It may be on an original research problem, or it may be a critical survey and evaluation of the literature on a specified subject. In the first instance, 24 hours of course work are required, and six hours credit is allowed for research. No graduate credit is allowed for the second option. Therefore, 30 credit hours of course work are necessary to fulflll the degree requirements. The Department of Biology requires that all candidates present a thesis based on an original research problem. All graduate students shall select a major adviser under whose direction he wishes to pursue his dissertation research before completing nine hours of graduate study if a dissertation is required. Following acceptance of the candidate, the adviser shall appoint two other members of the Graduate Faculty to serve with him as the student's Advisory Committee. 5 �Students in the programs leading to M.S . in Education or M .B.A. degrees will be assigned advisers immediately upon their acceptance to the Graduate School. When a dissertation is required, the student, in consultation with his Advisory Committee, shall submit to the Committee on Graduate Studies an outline and a tentative dissertation title, before completing more than 12 semester hours of graduate study. Part-time students employed in laboratories on a full-time basis may be permitted to conduct their dissertation research in these laboratories if a mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached by the student, the laboratory staff, and the college. In such cases, a qualified member of the staff of the employer shall be named by the Director of Graduate Studies to serve as a member of the student's Advisory Committee. He shall also be appointed an adjunct professor of the college, and shall super~ vise the day-to-day progress of the student's research. Admission to Candidacy A student shall automatically be considered a candidate for the degree when he has successfully completed the required courses and has submitted the outline of his graduate program and dissertation title where applicable. Degree Requirements Following are the requirements for the Master of Science Degree: I. Admission to graduate study. 2. Acceptance by an adviser and an advisory committee where applicable. 3. Submission and acceptance of an outline of the student's program and his tentative dissertation title where app1i~ cable. This should be done before the beginning of the third semester. 4.

On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a four-year, coeducational, liberal arts college. The College has grown slowly to its current enrollment of approximately 2600 full-time day students and 600 part-time evening school students and over 600 graduate students. From its inception the College has been dedicated to these twin goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. WILKES COLLEGE - Page 9 students of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity. While academic work is the basis of the College program, the faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men.,, Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life. DECADES OF GROWTH AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian, for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control. FREEDOM OF INQUIRY Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their belief that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free. UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and ·a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansion of the campus. A COOPERATIVE EFFORT The original concept of community services has been strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in cooperative action. ACCREDITATION Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instruction of the State of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has been accredited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State of New York. The Chemistry curriculum is approved by the American Chemical Society. �Policies and Objectives An Educated Man seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding; possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments; is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among men; has faith in the power of ideals to shape the lives of men; knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical endurance; cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich his daily living and sustain him in times of crisis; has ethical standards by which he lives; respects the religious convictions of all men; participates constructively in the social, economic, cultural, and political life of the community; communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding unites men in their search for truth. Formulated and adopted by the as a guide to learning. facuity Admissions Registration Tuition, Fees, and Expenses Financial Assistance �Admissions True education demands a love of learning and a spirit of acrifice and service. Education is not a right or privilege but an opportunity that carries with it obligations prescribed by the College and responsibilities shared with the student. This concept has guided the faculty and trustees in developing the philosophy and procedures of the Admissions Committee, making it possible for students of ability, determination, and soundness of character to study at Wilkes. Here the student will find an atmosphere of competitive learning in the world of ideas. His desire to undertake study at Wilkes places him among the ready men for whom education is an experience in excellence. He will be charged with the responsibility for fulfilling that trust. The careful selection of able and committed students is deemed cs ential to the attainment of high standards and warm personal relationships between students and faculty. Undergraduate Ad1nission Requirements The spirit of the College derives from the ideals of the faculty and the quality of its in struction; from its library, its laboratories and Education at Wilkes equipment. The spirit of the College is the integrity of its mission, the intellectual climate that enriches the student as a person. The College believes that no attention can be too great which intensifies a student's thinking or deepens his interest or develops his techniques and skills. It believes that a good student commits him self to the disciplines of his work. To learn, to master, and to understand he must accept the responsibilities that he shares with others. SFC0NDARY SCHOOL RECORD Candidates applying for admission to Wilkes should be secondary school graduates and should offer at least fifteen units of work representing the equivalent of the usual four-year secondary school preparatory school course. For entrance into certain departments, specific courses in secondary school are necessary. Students interested in studying biology, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, medical technology, and science education should be prepared to enter Math. 111 - Analysis I (Calculus). APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION To assist students seeking admission, the College has adopted procedures designed to simplify admissions. Applications for admission and instructions regarding secondary school records, recommendations, and entrance examinations may be obtained from the Dean of Admissions. The completed applications should be returned to him with a $10.00 application fee. �Page 14 - ADMISSIONS - ADMISSIONS ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS All candidates for admission to the freshman class will be required to take entrance examinations. The Admissions Committee considers these test results in relation to the applicant's secondary school transcript and the record of performance during the secondary school years. Page 15 PERSONAL INTERVIEWS A personal interview with each student is not required. Students and their families are invited to visit the College at their convenience. It is advisable to write for an appointment so that the Deans may arrange to meet with them. Music applicants are required to audition for the music faculty. TRANSFER STUDENTS ADMISSIONS TESTS The Scholastic Aptitude Test of the College Entrance Examination Board is required of all applicants. Students should plan to take this examination in December or January of their senior year. If unusual circumstances prevent the applicant from taking this test, he must notify the Dean of Admissions. Students who wish the Admissions Committee to review their application on the basi of College Boards taken in their junior year should make this request in writing to the Dean of Admissions. Wilkes is a member of the College Entrance Examination Boards. Students communicating with the Educational Testing Center in Princeton, New Jersey, or in Los Angeles, California, should refer to the Wilkes College code number 2977. ACCEPTANCE OF ADMISSION AND DEPOSIT After receipt of the secondary school record, the secondary school recommendations, and the senior College Board scores, the Admissions Committee meets and acts upon all applications. Notification of action by the Committee is sent immediately. Resident students are required to forward a $100.00 tuition and dormitory deposit by May 1; local students are required to forward a $50.00 tuition deposit by May 1 in order to guarantee their entry into the College. The College accepts a limited number of applications for the February class. Procedures are similar to those followed in the fall semester. ADMISSIONS COMMITTEE The Admissions Committee is comprised of the Dean of Admissions and appointed faculty members. This committee acts upon special cases referred to it by the Dean of Admissions. Candidates from other institutions wishing to enter with advanced standing shall follow the regular procedure for admission. The student should request the college or university he is attending to forward to Wilkes a transcript and an official statement of his honorable withdrawal. Students offered admission should secure a personal interview with the Dean of Admissions, at which time an evaluation of the transfer credits will be made and a tentative program scheduled. This program will be subject to final review by the faculty adviser at the time of registration. Acceptable credits will be placed on the Wilkes record of the student following a final evaluation. College policy prohibits the Admissions Committee from considering for admission any student who has been placed on academic probation or who has been dropped from any other college or university until a period of one year has elapsed. ADVANCED COURSE STANDING Superior students who have undertaken college-level courses in econdary school may request college credit for such work and p rmission to enter advanced courses. To qualify for advanced placement, the secondary school student must take the Advanced Placement tests of the College Entrance Examination Board, in addition to the regular Scholastic Aptitude tests required for admission. Action by the College will be determined by scores obtained on the Advanced Placement Examination, the secondary school record submitted by the student, and the recommendations of the secondary school faculty. After he is admitted the applicant will request the College Entrance Examination Board to send the results of the Advanced Placement Tests to the Dean of Admissions. The request will then be considered by the Admissions Committee and the appropriate department chairman. The applicant will be advised of their action prior to registration. �EXPENSES Page 16 - Page 17 ADMISSIONS Evening Division The evening division offers educational opportunities to adul who cannot attend day classes.

Financial Assistance To provide assistance for those who need financial help, the College receives substantial gifts from friends. These gifts provide cholarship aid to those who are already making every effort to help themselves. In accepting any form of aid from the College the student accepts an obligation - which is also the obligation of every other concicntious student - to: I. Maintain a good scholastic record. 2. Exert a constructive influence in the College and the community. 3. Participate constructively in an all-college activity of his own choice. In planning to meet any difference between his own resources and the cost of education the student should consider a combination of work, loans, and grants. Scholarships A few honor scholarships are awarded without regard to financial need to students of outstanding achievement in appreciation of their contribution to the intellectual life of the group. High school seniors who desire to be considered for an honor award should apply in writing to the Dean of Admissions at the time of their application for admission. Financial Aid REQUIREMENTS 1. Students must be admitted to the College before their applications for financial aid will be considered. 2. The primary responsibility for financing the cost of education rests with the student and his family. Consequently, financial aid will be granted only after they have made every reasonable effort to finance as large a portion of the costs of his education as possible. When such home support is lacking, the College will seek to develop with the student a plan whereby his education may be continued through work, loans, and scholarships. �FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE- Page 23 Page 22 - FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 3. Every applicant for financial aid shall submit confidential information pertaining to his financial needs and his record of achievement. 4. Aid awarded to a student from sources outside the College shall be reported to the College by the student. All such aid shall be taken into consideration to insure the most equitable distribution of funds to the student body. When necessary, a financial aid package awarded by the College may be adjusted in light of aid awarded by outside sources. 5. Financial aid will be forfeited if the student at any time carries fewer hours than are normal for his course of study. 6. No financial aid is awarded for more than one year; however, aid will be renewed upon request, provided this request is supported by a good academic record, by evidence of continued need, and by constructive participation in at least one all-college activity of his choice. 7. The amount of the grant is confidential, and any breach of this confidence shall terminate the award. INSTRUCTIONS TO THE APPLICANT 1. To establish eligibility for finand~l aid, the student must first apply for admission to the College, and must be accepted. 2. Students requesting consideration for assistance shall indicate this in the appropriate space on the application for admission to the College. Wilkes College participates in the College Scholarship Service (CSS) of the College Entrance Examination Board. Participants in the College Scholarship Service subscribe to the principle that the amount of financial aid granted a student should be based on financial need. The College Scholarship Service assists colleges and universities in determining the student's need for financial assistance. All entering students applying for financial aid are required to submit a copy of the Parents' Confidential Statement (PCS) form to the College Scholarship Service, designating Wilkes College as one of the recipients, by February 1. The Parents' Confidential Statement form may be obtained from a secondary school guidance office or the College Scholarship Service, P. 0. Box 176, Princeton, New Jersey 08540. 3. After the student has been accepted for admission to the College, and after a copy of the Parents' Confidential Statement is received, the Committee on Financial Aid acts on all completed applications. Notification of action by the Committee is sent immediately. Grants-in-Aid WILKES SCHOLARSHIPS To assist able and ambitious students, friends and alumni support a substantial scholarship fund that enables the College with its limited resources to more adequately serve those for whom it was created. Because these funds are given by generous men and women who are desirous in helping young people in their effort toward self-improvement and self-development, it is essential that worthy and able students be carefully selected. Wilkes College is dedicated to the belief that no student who has met the competition for admission to the Cqllege should be denied the chance to begin his college education, nor forced to withdraw after he has matriculated, for purely financial reasons. Wilkes Scholarship grants are available to students with good records of achievement and performance in high school or college who cannot finance fully the cost of their education. The amount of each grant shall be based on the financial need of the student. These funds, combined with those furnished by the State and Federal governments, are offered to students in packages consisting usually of grants, loans, and work. EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANTS Federal grants ranging from $200 to $1,000 are available to students demonstrating exceptional financial need, who, except for this aid, would be unable to obtain a higher education. Applications will be considered for an Educational Opportunity Grant award if the expected parental contribution, as determined by the College Scholarship Service, cannot exceed $625. �Page 24 - FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ST ATE SCHOLARSHIPS The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania offers direct grants to students meeting the criteria set forth by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) program. High school students from other states wishing information concerning their state's program should contact their guidance counselor. Loans STUDENT LOAN FUNDS The Florence and Joseph A. Goldman Loan Fund has been created by the donors to assist Juniors and Seniors whose education may be interrupted by unexpected difficulties. The loan bears no interest and is to be repaid by the student at the earliest practical time so that other students may receive needed assistance from this revolving loan fund. The Robert W. Hall Student Loan Fund was established by Robert W. Hall, class of 1951, to assist students in meeting small emergency financial needs. NATIONAL DEFENSE STUDENT LOAN FUND Long-term, low interest loans are available to students who demonstrate financial need. The amount of the loan is determined by need with a maximum of $1,000 per academic year. Interest and repayment are deferred until the student leaves school. The program includes loan cancellation provisions for students who enter teaching. Applicants will be notified by the Committee if their financial aid package includes a National Defense Student Loan. STATE GUARANTY LOAN PROGRAMS Most states now operate guaranteed loan programs which enable students to borrow from their local banks to meet educational expenses. Ordinarily, no interest is charged while the student remains in school if adjusted family income is below $15,000 per year. Applications and further information are available at the student's hometown bank, savings-and-loan association, or credit union participating in the program. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE - Page 25 Employment PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT College makes strict demands on a student's time. The student who finds it necessary to seek full-time employment during the school year is advised to work a year and then apply for admission. The College cautions the student to limit off-campus work, especially during the freshman year, when working may result in academic failure. However, part-time jobs in offices, stores, and industry are available for students wishing to earn part of their expenses. For such jobs the student will register with the College Placement Office. COLLEGE EMPLOYMENT The College also participates in the College Work-Study Program, funded jointly by the Federal Government and the College. Part-time employment not to exceed 15 hours per week during class periods, is available in the dining rooms, offices, laboratories, reception desk, library, or maintenance staff. Since this program is designed to provide financial aid to students, prospective emplayees must meet financial need requirements set forth by the Federal Government. The holders of these jobs shall meet all obligations of their assignments or forfeit this help from the College. Interested students should contact the Financial Aid Office for information. DEFERRED PAYMENT PLANS The College has authorized the operation of two plans through which costs of tuition and other educational expenses may be met from current family income. Basically, these are loan agreements which are to be repaid during the year through monthly repayment plans. Additional information can be secured through the Financial Aid Office or by writing to either: The Tuition Plan, Inc. 575 Madison Avenue New York, New York 10022 EFI Fund Management Program 36 South Wabash - Room 1000 Chicago, Illinois 60603 �FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Page 26 - Page 27 FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Founders of Scholarships Each year some 1000 friends contribute to the scholarship fund of the College on an annual basis.

Education is the process of connecting and relating, of testing and retesting, of discovery and rediscovery. Experience at .Wilkes The faculty can teach the student facts, but his contribution to a free society depends upon the continual expansion of his knowledge and upon its relevance to human experience. The student can strive for technical and professional competence, but the inner resources of the mind and spirit must nourish and enrich his achievement.

Student Li£e Counseling Student Activities Social Activities Student Responsibility Athletics �Counseling The guiding principle of all Wilkes counseling is to encourage the student to discover his own abilities and potentialities and to assist him in making sound, independent decisions; most of all he must learn to assume responsibility for all he does. FRESHMAN ORIENTATION PROGRAM The transition from the directed work of the high school to the independent and more intensive work of the College occasionally causes difficulty. Several days at the beginning of the term are therefore set aside to assist freshmen in planning their academic program. Studying at Wilkes In college the teacher works with the student, challenging him to extend the limits of his mind. He encourages him to think courageously and truthfully and to create with all his resources so that he may act with independent judgment. In a college community freedom of inquiry is essential. In the world community the right of the individual to differ safeguards the freedom of During the first week, new students may take aptitude and interest tests. The week also gives the new students an opportunity to become acquainted with one another and to learn about the College, the curriculum, and the student activities. Throughout their first term small groups of freshmen meet for one hour a week to discuss informally their personal, academic, and vocational objectives. Representatives of the faculty and student body discuss with them: I. Methods of intelligent self-directed study. 2. Standards of value in personal conduct and in relationships with others. 3. Values of the College extracurricular program. all men. 4. The value of college experiences in developing a philosophy of life. As student and teacher engage in the experience of creative thinking, the heritage of learning becomes the responsibility of everyone. By placing responsibility upon the student for planning and conducting these discussions, the College encourages clarity of thought and expression, initiative, poise, and breadth of view. �Page 48 - STUDENT ACTIVITIES STUDENT ADVISEMENT Students sometimes need guidance in resolving personal, social, and academic difficulties. Since a student's physical and mental health affect his studies and his grades, he is encouraged throughout his college career to consult with his classroom instructors, his faculty adviser, the Deans, or the Department Chairmen concerning his scholastic progress. Student Activities The student activities of the College broaden a student's interests begun in the classroom. The faculty encourages a program of extracurricular activities that contribute to the educational development of the student who chooses to participate. Student activities are designed to appeal to a wide variety of tastes and talents; as such they enjoy the support of the College community. The student activities include Athletics, Dramatics, the College Band, Debating, College Chorus, Collegians Male Chorus, Choralette Chorus and numerous brass, woodwind and percussion ensembles, Madrigal Singers, the College newspaper, the yearbook, and the literary magazine. There are four class organizations. In addition, special departmental clubs stimulate and satisfy individual interest in academic, professional, and artistic fields. These clubs are developed for students in cooperation with the faculty. All women students may become members of Theta Delta Rho, headed by its own executive committee, which plans and arranges social activities. POLICY The College requires that all campus organizations be open to all students; consequently, groups that are exclusive do not exist. All student groups work in cooperation with faculty advisers and the Deans. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Government of student affairs rests in a Council composed of annually elected members representing the classes and other student groups. The Council serves as a coordinating agency. It formulates the student activities budget; it submits this budget to the Administrative Council for approval and is responsible for the supervision of expenditures within the budget. It plans and supervises the social calendar of the College; it is responsible for the Homecoming programs; it recommends to the Council of Deans social regulations pertaining to student life. It consults with and advises the Deans and the Administrative Council. It recommends to the Administration student nominees for appointment to selected faculty committees. �Page 50 - STUDENT ACTIVITIES INTER-DORMITORY COUNCIL The Inter-Dormitory Council, made up of elected representatives from the men's and women's residence halls, plans and coordinates residence hall educational and social programs. The Director of Housing advises and works closely with this organization and develops and administers residence hall policy in conjunction with the Council of Deans. PUBLICATIONS The students publish the Beacon, a weekly newspaper; the Manuscript, a literary magazine, issued in the Spring; and the Amnicola, the College annual. There are opportunities for students on the editorial, art, and business staffs. Graduated amounts, in the form of tuition stipends, are available to students in the upper classes who hold editorial and managerial positions on the Beacon, the Manuscript, and the Amnicola. Students eligible for these grants should make written application to the faculty adviser of the publication before April 1 for review by the publications committee and the Administrative Council. CONCERT AND LECTURE SERIES A carefully selected Concert and Lecture Series is presented throughout the regular college year. All programs are held at the Center for the Performing Arts and are subject to change. They are open to the college family and the public without admission fee. Social Activities The College believes in helping students to help themselves. Groups are encouraged to initiate programs that will serve their interest and benefit others. It has been found that students gain most from those activities, social and cultural, which release the best talents of the individual. Special projects include the following: TD R's Golden Agers Christmas party, at which residents of Convalescent Homes are entertained; Student Government's party for children of St. Stanislaus Orphanage; Wilkes J.C.'s party for YMCA children; Student Work Day, in support of an orphan in a foreign land. In addition there are various social affairs to raise money for the United Fund, to collect toys for the Salvation Army, and to donate books for students in foreign countries. A full and varied program of social and recreational activities supplements the extracurricular program. At all these functions members of the faculty and their wives are invited guests and chaperones. COME-AND-MEET-US-PARTY Student Government makes plans for student leaders to welcome the freshmen one week before the semester starts. An informal party and dance for the entire student body culminate the week's introduction to college life. PARENTS' DAY After they have adjusted themselves to the academic life of the College, students invite their families to a weekend of social, cultural, and athletic events. Preparations for the annual Parents' Day program are entirely the responsibility of a Student Planning Committee. The agenda includes intercollegiate soccer and football games, luncheon with the faculty, and a concert. �Page 52 - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES - SOCIAL ACTIVITIES HOMECOMING To welcome returning alumni, students construct displays on campus and decorate dormitory and classroom buildings. For the outstanding displays an alumni committee presents awards during halftime ceremonies at the football game. A Homecoming Queen and her escorts are feted at a dinner dance. FORMAL DANCES Student organizations and clubs sponsor four formal affairs, open to the entire student body. The Homecoming Dance, for alumni and undergraduates; the Lettermen's Christmas Formal; Theta Delta Rho's Valentine Formal; and during Spring Weekend the Cinderella Ball have become traditions on campus. TDR AND LETTERMEN TEAS Throughout the year TDR and the Lettermen sponsor afternoon teas and student receptions. The women of Theta Delta Rho entertain those high school seniors who plan to enter the College the following year. Page 53 WINTER CARNIVAL Student Government sponsors a Winter Carnival, held at one of the ~earby :esort~ in the Poconos. A day of skiing, tobagganing, and ice skatmg climaxes the close of the examination period. SPRING WEEKEND Student Government also plans Spring Weekend. Clubs and organizations set up gala outdoor booths, and the campus takes on a Mardi Gras atmosphere. At the Ball at midnight on Saturday a senior, chosen by the student body by secret ballot is crowned Cinderella Queen. ' THE MANUSCRIPT FILMS During each semester the Manuscript Society brings to the campus distinguished motion pictures, produced by American and foreign film companies. CLUB ACTIVITIES In addition to the regular social calendar, campus organizations plan their own special activities. JDC CHRISTMAS PARTY The Inter-Dormitory Council sponsors an annual Christmas party preceding the winter vacation. The student body, faculty, and administration are invited to a buffet and dance. WILKES OPEN WRESTLING TOURNAMENT Between Christmas and New Year's the College sponsors the Wilkes Open Wrestling Championships. Known as the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling," this annual tournament attracts athletes from over sixty colleges, athletic clubs, and YMCA's throughout the United States. Wilkes wrestlers join them in competing for individual and team awards. Tourneys and clinics are held over a three-day period in the Wilkes gymnasium. The Tournament, the largest in the country, has the record for the most number of entries. THE PRESIDENT'S PICNIC . ?n. the Saturday before Commencement the graduating class 1s mv1ted by the President to a picnic and outing in the country. �Athletics Athletics are an integral part of the activity program and as such are subject to policies set by the faculty and administration and approved by the Board of Trustees. VARSITY SPORTS The College maintains intercollegiate schedules in nine varsity sports: football, baseball, basketball, soccer, gol_f, tennis, s~imming, wrestling, and lacrosse. Men who take part in mtercollegiate _sports satisfy the requirements for physical education for the durat10n of that sport. INTRAMURAL SPORTS A program of intramural sports and physic~!- education stre~ses physical standards and cooperative team spmt and recreation. Every man has a chance to participate in basketball, touch football, volleyball, softball, and bowling. The athletic program for women includes dancing, folk and modern, bowling, basketball, softball, and swimming. ATHLETIC POLICY Intercollegiate athletics are introduced for the benefit of the student body and in consequence athletes receive the sa~e con· sideration in admissions and in the awarding of scholarships that is given to other students. Wilkes enters into intercollegiate competition with other colleges of the Middle Atl~nti~ ~onference adhering to similar policies of admission and mamtammg comparable scholastic standards. The College is a member of the Middle Atla~tic Col~eg~ate Athletic Confer~nce, the National Collegiate Athletic Assoc1at1on, and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference. Student Responsibility The students in a great measure determine the influences of the College. The faculty counts upon their cooperation in establishing the highest possible standards of intellect and morals. The College may request students to withdraw when their influence and behavior are deemed detrimental to the best interests of the student body and the College. It is recognized that courtesy and consideration are the basis of good relations between individuals. Informal and friendly a sociations between students and faculty are a tradition on campus. Although these relations are flexible, certain precedents have been established in the best interests of the individual and the College. A few are mentioned here: I. The possession and use of liquor on campus are forbidden, and none will be served at college affairs. 2. Smoking is not permitted in classrooms or in the library. Facilities are available in various buildings for students who may wish to smoke during their free periods. 3. Although participation in at least one student activity is encouraged, each student is responsible for planning and utilizing his time effectively. 4. The faculty cooperates with students who miss classes because of illness, or as representatives of the College, or for special religious observances; in cases of excessive absence the student shall present his instructors with a note from the Deans. In all instances the student is expected to make up the work that is missed. �The Academic Program Curricula Academic Require1nents Graduation Requirements �The Academic Program Curricula Academic Require1nents Graduation Requirements �Curricula Graduate Programs WILKES COLLEGE DEGREE PROGRAMS Education leads men to seek answers to prob- Learning at Wilkes lems of significance and to inquire into ideas and beliefs of eternal relevance. There is no better expression of man's purpose than his sense of belonging to a universe ruled by truth. Creative thinkers set the standards and the high aims of education. One may not reach these standards in his lifetime; that they are recognized and sought after is the measure of one's intellectual concerns. The faculty encourages the student to cultivate learning that he may grow in wisdom. In this way the mind in its journeyings finds constant surprise and delight at rediscovering itself. To fulfill its objective of service to the community and the nation, Wilkes in 1961 introduced two new curricula leading to the degrees of Master of Science in Chemistry and in Physics. These curricula are designed to make practicable either full-time graduate study toward the degrees or part-time study by engineers and scientists with appropriate undergraduate training employed in the Wilkes-Barre area. A program leading to a Master of Science degree in Biology was introduced in September, 1967. In September, 1969 two programs were introduced: one leading to a Master's Degree in Business Administration, and a second leading to a Master of Science degree in Education providing for concentration in the academic disciplines of English, history, mathematcs, biology, physics, chemistry, and elementary education. Full details of these programs are published in the bulletin of the Graduate Division. COOPERATIVE GRADUATE PROGRAMS Wilkes is cooperating with both Lehigh and Temple Universities to make graduate programs available to regional teachers and businessmen. The Temple University program leads to the degree of Master of Science in General Education and is accepted by the Commonwealth for permanent certification of classroom teachers. Candidates may register at the College. Under this cooperative program, all credits are granted by Temple University. Wilkes and Lehigh University arc cooperating in offering graduate courses in education leading to a Master's Degree in Education, and graduate courses in Business Administration leading to a Master's Degree in Business Administration. Details of these graduate programs may be obtained by writing to the Director of Graduate Studies. �Page 60 - ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS Undergraduate Programs Wilkes is an independent, liberal arts college that offers the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. All course work in education required for careers in teaching is available in combination with the degree programs mentioned. The College confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in biology, chemistry, engineering, physics, medical technology, commerce and finance, and certain areas of education. The College also offers in selected engineering fields a two-year program leading to transfer. A detailed description of these programs is provided in the section of the bulletin titled "Degree Programs." Academic Requirements GRADES The primary purpose of any marking system is to inform the student of his achievement. Marks also aid in evaluating students for purposes of recommendation. Grade reports are sent to students and parents at the end of each term. Mid-term reports are sent if the work is unsatisfactory. five numerical grades are given for academic work. Grade 4 3 2 These students may, with the approval of the Academic Standing Committee, satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor's degree by completing three years of undergraduate study at Wilkes and by requesting credit toward the degree for their first two years of work in graduate school. Such students must petition the Academic Standing Committee for permission to graduate, submit official transcripts from the professional school, and pay the usual graduation fees. In all cases the final approval for the granting of the degree rests with the Academic Standing Committee of Wilkes College. .. Academic achievement of high quality. Academic achievement of acceptable quality in meeting requirements for graduation. Academic achievement of quality below the average required for graduation. PRE-PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAM Four years of undergraduate study are ordinarily required to qualify for the Bachelor's degree. Wilkes College makes an exception to this requirement for medical and dental students. Interpretation Academic achievement of outstanding quality. 0 p Academic achievement below the minimum required for course credit. . Passing, no credit. "X," "Inc.," means that the student received an incomplete . rade. lncompletes will be granted to students who, because of illness or reason_s beyond their control, have been unable to satisfy all course reqmrements including the final examination. When uch a grade is given, the incomplete work must be made up by or bcfor: th_e end ~f the fourth week following the last day of the cxammauon penod. If the incomplete is not removed within this time, or an extension of time granted by the instructor who gave the _grade or _br some other authorized person, and the Registrar's Office so notified, the grade will be changed to a zero on the student's record. COURSE CREDITS , Each course at the College is assigned a specific number of credits. !·or exa~ ple, English IO 1 is a 3 credit course and Chem is try 201 i~ 11 4 credit course. Usually, credits assigned to the course are determined by the number of hours that the class meets per week. �ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS Page 62 - Page 83 ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS POINT AVERAGES The student is given a number grade for every course in which he is enrolled. To calculate the number of points earned in a course, multiply the grade in each course by the number of credit hours for the course. To compute the point average, total these points for all courses and divide by the total number of credit hours. Below is an example illustrating the method used to compute point averages. Course Credit Hrs. Carried Bio. 101 ............................ ..........

The zero grade in English means that the student must repeat that course. Averages are cumulative; the work of each semester will be added to the total. To graduate a student must have at the end of his senior year at least a 1.85 average for all his courses and a 2.0 average in his major field. Transfer credits are not included in the calculation of grade point averages. CLASS ST ANDING Grades and averages at the end of each semester of the four academic years indicate a student's progress. Unless the following minimum averages are met, a student's record is automatically reviewed by the Academic Standing Committee. 1.4 1.7 1.85 A student placed on probation must attain the required grade average in the next semester or be subject to dismissal from the College. If readmitted the student will still be on probation and shall be given one semester in which to prove his ability to continue in college.

PROBATION AND DISMISSAL Unless special permission is granted by the Academic Standing Committee, a student dropped for academic failure will not be considered for readmission until one year after being dropped. 3 General Average If these minimum averages are not attained during each semester of the year indicated, the Academic Standing Committee will review the student's record and take action resulting in his being placed on probation or dismissed from the College. Major Average 1.6 1.9 2.0 ATTENDANCE Attendance at all classes is expected. Repeated absence is deemed a sufficient cause for failure. After five consecutive absences from a class, a student may be readmitted to the class only by action of the appropriate Dean and the Department Chairman concerned. STUDENT LOAD No students shall be allowed to carry an overload without approval of the adviser and the Dean. An overload will be permitted only for students with an average grade record of 3 or special need. WITHDRAWALS Students may change their courses during the first week of a semester, provided they secure the approval of their faculty adviser and the Dean. A student who withdraws from a course after the first week but who continues other courses will receive a zero unless the Dean, faculty adviser, and instructor agree that the stu dent be permitted to drop the course without prejudice. �Page 64 - ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS No student who has been advised to withdraw from the College's day school program for academic reasons will be permitted to register in the Evening Division without the approval of the Academic Standing Committee and then will be allowed to register only as a non-matriculated student. Students who withdraw from the College or drop courses should give prompt written or verbal notice to the appropriate Dean or the Director of the Evening Division and to the instructors concerned, in order that their records may not unjustly show failure in courses. STUDENTS ENTERING MI LIT ARY SERVICE Students called to the Armed Services should make every effort to complete unfinished academic assignments at the College before leaving. If a student is called to active duty before completing the semester in which he enrolled, he will decide after consultation with the Academic Standing Committee and the faculty member involved whether to finish all assignments and take all examinations, or drop all courses. A student called to the Service may apply toward a Wilkes College degree credits earned in collegiate programs approved by the military services. Such credits must be appropriate to a Wilkes College degree program. The Academic Standing Committee must approve all such requests. CHANGE OF PROGRAM Students who wish to transfer from one department to another shall obtain the approval of the Department Chairmen and the Dean. The student shall satisfy the curriculum requirements of the Bulletin in force at the time of transfer. TRANSFER OF SUMMER CREDITS Students desiring to study at another college during the summer must petition the Academic Standing Committee for approval. The student must earn a grade of 2 or higher in order for the work to be credited toward graduation. In some cases it may be necessan for a student to take examinations before credit is granted. Transfer credits are not included in the calculation of grade point averages. ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS - Page 65 DEAN'S LIST The facultr gi_ves reco~nition for high quality work.

Office of Community Services Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra Fine Arts Fiesta Center for the Performing Arts �The College and the Community The College was founded to serve the community and has received a large measure of its ever-growing support from outstanding leaders in the community. It has recognized for many years that its growth was related to the economic and social redevelopment of the community and, therefore, it has sought to participate in every effort for community betterment. In consequence, a pattern of cooperation has developed in which the College and the Community work with one another for their mutual benefit. fnstitute of Regional Affairs It is his own deficiency, and no degree of fate, that makes a man sink into the depths. To think Service there is no escape from preordained misery is to at a constant renewal of strength - Wilkes make the misery perpetual. To seek new paths in that has always been the secret of progress. When a man waits helplessly for the turning in the wheel of fortune, he has to be regarded as shorn of manhood. The Institute of Regional Affairs is a multi-purpose college organization which views regional problems as belonging to no imple academic discipline, but rather as a contemporary phenomenon spilling into many disciplines. It is really the natural integration of prior activities in which members of the Wilkes College faculty have engaged for at least twenty years. The Institute of Regional Affairs was created to assure the coordination of these varied efforts and better understand and resolve complex and contemporary problems. Its resources include not only the College faculty in the social sciences - economics, psychology, government, sociology - but also those experts in the region who can lend their talents to teaching, research, and consultation. Its four-fold purpose is: education and training, community information, research, and consultation. If we could free even one village from the shackles of helplessness and ignorance, an ideal for the whole of India would be established. Let a few villages be rebuilt in this way, and I shall say they are my India. That is the way to discover the true India. RABINDRAN ATH TAGORE Towards Universal Man I. Labor-Management Courses To establish a climate for industrial progress, the College has pioneered a management training program under which special classes are organized for personnel in industry, commerce, and banking to meet the needs of business firms in this region. Such programs are arranged in consultation with officials, foremen, and other employees to meet the specific problems of a particular company. �Page 72 - THE COLLEGE AND THE COMMUNITY A program designed for members of labor unions is also tailored to the needs of a particular group. All classes are conducted on the campus where the intellectual climate stimulates free intellectual inquiry. Union and management personnel sometimes meet together in an effort to develop that mutual understanding that is essential to constructive action. 2. Banking Short courses have been co-sponsored with both the Institute of Banking and the Savings and Loan Institute. The instructional program offered to the personnel of these two groups is intended to assist them to meet changing needs and acquire a broad knowledge in their fields. 3. Municipal Government Program The fundamental general purpose in assisting local governments has been to help make American democracy stronger by guaranteeing the semi-autonomous structure of American local government, so long as it can retain the capacity to solve its own problems. The program of training, information and consultation service, publications, and research in this field have been aimed at improving the world of local government officials, both elected and appointed. In the fall of 1964, the Glen Alden Coal Company made available an area in Hanover Township known as Concrete City - a 40 acre site - for training the police, firemen, and civil defense workers. The In-Service training program for local government officials has been offered in full cooperation with the Public Service Institute of the Department of Public Instruction, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 4. Other Activities From time to time, the Psychology Department, the Sociology Department, the Education Department, and the Guidance Center have initiated and participated in seminars, conferences, and workshops, in the fields of social welfare, mental health, and education. THE COLLEGE AND THE COMMUNITY - Page 73 Economic Development Council As a result of the support and the success of the College's Area Research Center, an independent Economic Development Council has been established to serve Northeastern Pennsylvania. The College has supported a number of programs in their infancy and helped them become independent, community activities. Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra The Wilkes-Barre Philharmonic Orchestra, organized under the :rgis of the College in the fall of 1951, presents a series of four symphony concerts annually. A number of the members are students and faculty from the department of music of the College. Fine Arts Fiesta In 1954 several members of the Board of Trustees and the faculty assisted in the formation of the Wilkes-Barre Fine Arts Fiesta, as part of the City's Sesquicentennial celebration. The College participates with area-wide cultural groups in this four-day festival of music, drama, and the arts presented on the public square each spring. Center for the Performing Arts The Center for the Performing Arts provides a varied program of cultural and educational events for the Community as well as the College. Completed in October, 1965, the gift of Mrs. Dorothy Dickson Darte, the Center has facili~ies for theater, dance, music, and films. Dramatic productions, recitals, lectures, choral and band concerts, Town and Gown programs, and other cultural events are offered throughout the year. The Center is operated by the students under faculty direction and supervision. �Weckesser Hall is the center for key administrative offices. �Center for the Performing Arts and Dorothy Darte Music Center. �Undergraduate Programs Bachelor of Arts Degree Bachelor of Science Degree Degree Requirements �Undergraduate Programs The program at Wilkes has been carefully designed so that students may meet the entrance requirements of graduate and professional schools. tudents planning to go to graduate school should consult as early as possible with their department chairman. In its degree programs Wilkes College provides for a broad liberal ducation and for the concentration in special areas for which students , re qualified and have interest. In the Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of cience degree programs the faculty encourages the student to achieve intellectual, social, and spiritual development. Bachelor of Arts Degree Leadership at Wilkes Those of us who are concerned with the education of young people and with the vitality of our society can never accept uncertainty and confusion as the inevitable condition of society. Programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree are primarily con terned with the cultivation of an understanding of our civilization and or the men who have created it and lived in it. Studies center around men and events, thoughts and institutions, art and science. Programs re designed to create breadth and perspective as opposed to more special i1cd skills. A liberal arts program must acquaint the student with the nature and l We therefore are confronted with two choices. We can grasp and support a rigid ideology that offers final answers by ignoring uncongenial facts and truths, or we can make every effort to comprehend the significance of new facts, new truths, and new conditions. We must endeavor to extend the vision of our students, enlarge their understanding, and prepare them to participate in strengthening and developing our social institutions. DR. EUGENE s.

To lay down extensive but distinct and settled limits to the action of the government; to confer certain rights on private persons, and to secure to them the undisputed enjoyment of those rights; to enable individual man to maintain whatever independence, strength, and original power he still possesses; to raise him by the side of society at large, and uphold him in that position; these appear to me the main objects of legislators in the ages upon which we are now entering. One set of men can perceive nothing in the principle of equality but the anarchical tendencies that it engenders; they dread their own free agency, they fear themselves. Other thinkers, less numerous but more enlightened, take a different view: beside that track which starts from the principle of equality to terminate in anarchy, they have at last discovered the road that seems to lead men to inevitable servitude. They shape their souls beforehand to this necessary condition; and, despairing of remaining free, they already do obeisance in their hearts to the master who is soon to appear. The former abandon freedom because they think it dangerous; the latter, because they hold it to be impossible. If I had entertained the latter conviction, I should not have written this book, but I should have confined myself to deploring in secret the destiny of mankind.

On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 2400 full-time day students and 1000 evening students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs. From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian, for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control. participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community; communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding unites men in their search for truth. Formulated and adopted by the faculty as a guide to learning. FREEDOM OF INQUIRY Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free. UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths, 2 3 �EVENING COLLEGE backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their con• victions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendship based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity. While academic work is the basis of the College program, the facui• ty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unles students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men doctor and lawyers, you must first make them men." Wilkes College is committed to education as a way of life. A COOPERATIVE EFFORT The original concept of community effort has been strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in cooperative action. DECADES OF GROWTH Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansion of the campus. ACCREDITATION Wilkes is accredited by the Department of Public Instructi0n of the State of Pennsylvania and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The Accounting curriculum has been accred• ited by the Certified Public Accounting Examiners of the State of e\\ York. INFORMATION CURRICULA UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM To meet the needs of ambitious men and women who desire the help which may come from college instruction, Wilkes College offers a wide program of Evening courses from which selections may be made according to indivi<lual tastes and requirements. The courses offered by the Evening College are designed for their special value to the following groups: 1. Those employed in business or governmental organizations who desire and need training to fit them for advancement. 2.

Teachers, nurses and those in other professions who desire addi- tional training in one or more subjects in order to meet the professional requirements demanded of them. 4. Business executives who are interested in the study of problems relating to business administration and the economy of the nation and the world. 5. Those who wish to prepare for the profession of accounting and aspire to qualify for a certification by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as Certified Public Accountants. 6.

Students who enrolled without any plan to earn a degree, bu who conclude in consequence of their experience in the evening schoo that they wish to earn a degree, must apply for admission to the degre program when they complete thirty hours of work in the Evening Di\1 sion. When this application is made, the student's record will be ex• amined to determine his eligibility and his prospects of successfu achievement. This will be followed by a personal interview with tr Director of the Evening Division and a recommendation will then b submitted to the Office of Admissions. If the student is accepted as a degree candidate, he will be notified by the Office of Admissions. If the student is not accepted as a degre candidate, he may petition to continue as a special student. This\ 'ii offer him a further opportunity to demonstrate his ability to benefi from continued study. Students who have been refused admission to the regular da school are not encouraged to seek admission to the Evening Division However, if written permission is granted by the Dean of Admission a student may apply for admission to the Evening Division as a specia. s:tudent. No student listed as an academic failure at this or any other colleg may be permitted to register in the Evening Division within a yea: following his failure. After the lapse of a year the student from anoth college may submit an application for admission. The Wilkes student who has been denied the privilege of continuing his studies must apph to the Academic Standing Committee for re-admission. Students who wish to transfer from another institution must provide a transcript of all previous college work. Students who do not satisfy the usual educational requirements for admission to degree programs may qualify by demonstrating theu competence. This can be done by passing the qualifying examination for a secondary school diploma and by demonstrating their proficienc in evening classes. The Director of the Evening Division will inform the student of the steps that are needed to qualify him for admission Under the regulations of the Veteran's Administration, a student who does not qualify as a degree candidate may follow one of h\O programs. He may pursue college work from a planned list of course approved by the Veteran's Administration; or, he may earn the high school equivalent diploma by passing the United States Armed Force Institute (USAFI) and/or the General Equivalency Diploma (GED) test in order to apply for admission as a degree candidate. 6 The Director of the Evening Division will act as advisor to all students enrolled on a part-time basis (Day or Evening Division) and to all tudents enrolled in the Evening Division on a full-time basis. If a regular day student enrolls for an Evening Division course, he •ill retain his day school faculty advisor. If an Evening Division student enrolls in a day school course, he will be classified as a Special tudent for the semester in which he is registered for a day school course. During this period he will retain his Evening Division advisor. hould he transfer to the day school, he will be assigned a regular faculty advisor. RESEARCH AND GRADUATE CENTER The Research and Graduate Center is an excellently equipped and staffed installation that is an integral part of the College complex. During the school term the Center will continue the various public and private research projects now in progress. LABOR-MANAGEMENT TRAINING COURSES To establish a climate for industrial redevelopment the College has pioneered a Labor-Management Training Program in which the needs of the individual and the company are analyzed. Plans are arranged in consultation with officials, foremen, and other employees and are designed to meet the general and specific requirements of the particular group. Where several firms are confronted with common problems, special classes are organized to include representation of several companies. I STITUTE OF REGIONAL AFFAIRS The Institute of Regional Affairs is a multi-purpose college organization which views regional problems as belonging to no simple academic discipline, but rather as a contemporary phenomenon spilling into many disciplines. The Institute was created to assure coordination of varied efforts in order to better understand and resolve complex and contemporary problems. Its four-fold purpose is: education and training, community information, research, and consultation. The underlying philosophy of the Institute of Regional Affairs is cooperation, rather than reform of partisanship. FACILITIES The College is located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in the heart of the picturesque and historic Wyoming Valley. This ideal location in the foothills of the Poconos offers abundant cultural and recreational facilities and affords close proximity and convenient transportation to the metropolitan areas of New York and Philadelphia. 7 �THE LIBRARY The Library will post its Fall schedule at the beginning of the semester. Evening College students may borrow books from the Library by presenting their I.D. card. THE BOOKSTORE The Bookstore offers a complete stock of necessary textbooks and supplies. It will be open as follows: Monday through Friday ................ 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday ........................... 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon EXPENSES Tuition - $60 per semester hour credit.

WITHDRAWAL A student who withdraws from the evening session or drops courses after the first week must receive approval from the instructor and should give prompt written or verbal notice to the Director of the Evening and Summer College in order that their records may not unjustly show failure in courses. Students in good standing who withdraw from the College will receive a refund of tuition under the following conditions: during lhe first six weeks of the evening session one-half of the tuition will be refunded upon request to the Director of Evening and Summer College, if the withdrawal is made for adequate and satisfactory reasons.

CHANGE OF SCHEDULE Occasionally changes in the Evening College Schedule become necessary. Such a change may include the cancellation of one course or the addition of another.

Students who have registered for courses that arc subsequently cancelled or rescheduled will be notified as promptly as possible. 8 CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM IN ACCOUNTING BANKING MANAGEMENT MARKETING Students of Business Administration, who hold full-time jobs while studying in the evening and summer college, are required to devote many years to their quest for a bachelor's degree. To encourage these business men and women, Wilkes College will award a "Certificate of Achievement" to those who earn 42 or 44 hours of credit in evening and summer school programs with at least 24 hours in Business Administration and a minimum of 18 hours in General Education. The Certificate of Achievement does not designate the completion of any recognized program. It gives recognition of achievement and notes that the recipient has completed a sequence of courses which may be credited toward the bachelor's degree should the student elect to continue his studies for the degree. It is important to note that the courses in these programs are presently offered at the college and are now required for the Bachelor's degree in Commerce and Finance. A student taking six credit hours of work in the Fall, Spring, and Summer sessions can complete the requirements for the certificate in two and one half years. A student who elects not to attend the summer sessions will require three and one half years to complete the program.

On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 2400 full-time day students and 1000 evening students engaged in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs. From its inception the college has been dedicated to these twin goals -a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new college should be non-sectarian, for it purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control. has ethical standards by which he lives; FREEDOM OF INQUIRY respects the religious convictions of all men; participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community; communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding unites men in their search for truth. Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free. UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY Formulated and adopted by the faculty as a guide to learning. 2 A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of peoples. In its mall circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths, 3 �b~c~grounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their co v1ct10ns and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendshi based up?n respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals th create umty and good will amidst diversity.

A student taking six credit hours of work in the Fall, Spring, and ummer sessions can complete the requirements for the certificate in two and one half years. A student who elects not to attend the summer essions will require three and one half years to complete the program.

Wilkes-Barre • Pennsylvania �seeks truth, for without truth there can be no An Educated Man understanding; possesses vision, for he knows that vision precedes all great attainments; is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among men; has faith in the power of ideals to shape the lives of men; knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical endurance; cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich his daily living and sustain him in times of crisis; has ethical standards by which he lives; respects the religious convictions of all men; participates constructively in the social, economic, and political life of the community; communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding unites men in their search for truth. Formulated and adopted by the faculty as a guide to learning. �Wilkes College Wilkes College had its beginnings in 1933 when Bucknell University, responding to a request of community leaders, established its Junior College in Wilkes-Barre. On June 26, 1947, Bucknell University Junior College came to an end and Wilkes College received its charter as a four-year liberal arts college. The College has grown steadily to its current enrollment of approximately 2,400 full-time day students and 1,000 adults in the Evening College and special classes. From its inception the Co,llege has been dedicated to these twin goals - a sound and stimulating intellectual experience for students and a program of service to the community. AN INDEPENDENT COLLEGE It was inevitable that the new College should be non-sectarian, for its purpose was to serve all students equally and its supporters wished the College to integrate itself with all constructive efforts in the community. It was believed that these ends could be served best by an independent college that was interdenominational in its influence and non-denominational in its control. FREEDOM OF INQUIRY Years have passed since Bucknell gave the control of the Junior College to a local Board of Trustees, guided by the late Gilbert S. McClintock, and events of these years demonstrate the wisdom of their decision. With responsibility came a pressing desire to strengthen the work of the faculty, united in their faith that the intellectual and spiritual resources of the student are vigorous where the creative mind is free. UNITY AMIDST DIVERSITY A college that wishes to serve all groups requires both a definite philosophy and a working policy. Wilkes College has been guided by the thought that unity in our community, our nation, and our world requires not only great vision but warm understanding of �Page 6 - SUMMER COLLEGE WILKES COLLEGE peoples. In its small circle Wilkes College brings together students of many faiths, backgrounds, and countries. It encourages them to maintain their convictions and their loyalties. It encourages them to create friendships based upon respect for differences, and to adhere to those ideals that create unity and good will amidst diversity. While academic work is the basis of the College program, the faculty recognizes that academic training will be of little importance unless students emerge as men and women of strong faith and fine character. In the words of John Stuart Mill, "Before you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men." A COOPERATIVE EFFORT The original concept of community services has been strengthened with the passing of the years and with growing experience. It has been clearly demonstrated that the students, the College, and the community all benefit from cooperative effort. This cooperative relationship, with its emphasis on trained intelligence and extended planning, has resulted in cooperative action. DECADES OF GROWTH Because of their interest and faith, friends have multiplied their support during the past decades and the campus has expanded steadily so that it now includes most of the properties facing the River Common. Fortunately, a growing endowment has kept pace with the expansion of the campus. Information Curricula UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM The summer program is designed for men and women interested in accelerating degree work, and for recent high school graduates interested in beginning their college careers. Courses are open to Wilkes College students, students of other colleges, and nonmatriculated students. Course load is limited to six semester hours of credit for each d~y session.

The first Master of Science Degrees were conferred in 1965. The College Board of Trustees authorized expansion of the Graduate Program into the field of biology in 1966, and education and business administration in 1969. A Master of Science Degree with a major in mathematics was approved in 1971. The graduate programs are approved by the Department of Education of Pennsylvania. The graduate programs are designed to provide the opportunity for completion of a Master's Degree in one to two years of full..-time study. Cycling of graduate courses allows a fulltime student to plan for continuous progress in his program. The programs also allow businessmen, engineers, scientists, and teachers employed in the region to continue their studies without interrupting their employment. To permit a combination of work and study, classes may meet during the early evening hours. Under these circumstances such courses usually consist of two 1½..-hour evening sessions or one 3..-hour session per week and carry 3 hours of credit. Cooperative Graduate Programs Wilkes College is cooperating with a number of institution in the Lehigh Regional Consortium for graduate teacher education to provide professional graduate education on the master's level for elementary and secondary classroom teachers. Wilkes also cooperates with Temple University to offer a master's program for teachers. This program leads to a Master of Science Degree in General Education and is accepted by the Commonwealth for permanent certification of classroom teachers. Candidates may register and take courses at the College with all credits granted by Temple University. 4 Admission As a general rule only well qualified men and women who have completed a normal four..-year program leading to the bach..elor' s degree will be considered for admission to the graduate division. It is expected that candidates for admission shall have above average performance during their undergraduate years and shall show evidence of intellectual and temperamental fit . . ness for graduate study. It is recommended that applicants take the Graduate Record Examination and forward their scores to the college in support of their applications. If an applicant fails to satisfy the require..ment of demonstrated above average performance in his major field, the Graduate Record Examination is mandatory. In the graduate departments of biology and chemistry, the Graduate Record Examination is required of all applicants. Applicants for the M.B.A. must take the Admission Test for Graduate Study in Business. Specific departmental requirements established for each area of study are to be found herein. Each applicant should consult these requirements prior to filing an application. Admission may be granted under the following categories: 1. Regular ,. . . . , granted to students who have demonstrated an acceptable level of academic work in their undergraduate program and are prepared for work at the graduate level in their field of specialization; 2. Provisional ,. . . . , granted to students who satisfy the general admission requirements but have undergraduate deficiencies. Each department determines its own mechanism for removal of these deficiencies before regular admission is given; 3. Special ,. . . . , granted to non..-degree students. Admission is for one year only. A maximum of 12 credits taken while a stu..dent is on special admission status may be applied to a Master's Degree. Seniors at Wilkes College may be permitted to enroll in cer..tain graduate courses with the approval of the chairman of their undergraduate department and the Director of Graduate Studies. Credit for such courses will ordinarily be at the undergraduate 5 �level. Under certain conditions a student may be permitted to register for graduate credit. In no case will a student be given both undergraduate and graduate credit for any course. Academic Requirements A total of 30 credits is required for the Master's Degree. These required credits must be obtained within six calendar years preceding the granting of the degree. No more than six graduate credits may be accepted for transfer from another institution. Numerical grades are given for graduate work. 4 - Academic achievement of outstanding quality. 3- Academic achievement of acceptable quality in meeting re~ quirements for graduation . 2 - Academic achievement of quality below the average required for graduation . 0- Academic achievement below the minimum required for course credit. A minimum average of 3.0 is required for graduation with the master's degree. A student who is given regular admission and who receives more than 11 credits of 2 or below or who re~ ceives more than one grade of 0 in graduate courses shall be ineligible to receive the master's degree. Departmental requirements in chemistry and physics allow two options with respect to the dissertation. It may be on an original research problem, or it may be a critical survey and evaluation of the literature on a specified subject. In the first instance, 24 hours of course work are required, and six hours credit is allowed for research. No graduate credit is allowed for the second option. Therefore, 30 credit hours of course work are necessary to fulfill the degree requirements. The Department of Biology requires that all candidates present a thesis based on an original research problem. The Department of English requires that all candidates, upon completion of 18 hours of course work in English, success6 fully pass a written examination based on a reading list developed by the candidate and his academic adviser. All graduate students shall select a major adviser under whose direction he wishes to pursue his dissertation research before completing nine hours of graduate study if a dissertation is required. Following acceptance of the candidate, the adviser shall appoint two other members of the Graduate Faculty to serve with him as the student's Advisory Committee. Students in the programs leading to either an M.S . in Education degree or M.B.A. degree will be assigned advisers immediately upon their acceptance to the Graduate School. When a dissertation is required, the student, in consultation with his Advisory Committee, shall submit to the Committee on Graduate Studies an outline and a tentative dissertation title, before completing more than 12 semester hours of graduate study. Part-time students employed in laboratories on a full-time basis may be permitted to conduct their dissertation research in these laboratories if a mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached by the student, the laboratory staff, and the college. In such cases, a qualified member of the staff of the employer shall be named by the Director of Graduate Studies to serve as a member of the student's Advisory Committee. He shall also be appointed an adjunct professor of the college, and shall supervise the day-to-day progress of the student's research. Admission to Candidacy A student shall automatically be considered a candidate for the degree when he has successfully completed the required courses and has submitted the outline of his graduate program and dissertation title where applicable. Degree Requirements Following are the requirements for the Master of Science Degree: 1. Admission to graduate study. 7 �2. Acceptance by an adviser and an advisory committee where applicable. 3. Submission and acceptance of an outline of the student's program and his tentative dissertation title where appli~ cable. This should be done before the beginning of the third semester. 4. Completion of course requirements. 5. Completion of specific departmental requirements. 6. Submission of an acceptable thesis, in an acceptable form and in the required number, not later than May 15 preceding the commencement at which the degree is to be conferred ( chemistry, physics and biology only). 7. Completion of arrangements satisfactory to the Advisory Committee for publication of the thesis, if so directed. 8. Satisfaction of all general college requirements for grad,., uation. Master of Science Degree Programs Biology Admission An applicant for admission to graduate study in biology must present at least 24 undergraduate credits in biology, re,., gardless of the major in which his Baccalaureate Degree was granted. The candidate must have credits for at least one year in physics and the following courses in chemistry: general chem,., istry, one semester of analytical chemistry, and organic chemis,. , try. Applicants deficient in any of the above requirements must take the courses for no credit in the undergraduate school. A working knowledge of calculus is also required. Students deficient in any of the phases may at the discretion of the Biology Department and the Director of Graduate Studies be granted provisional admission. Degree Requirements Fees and Financial Assistance The tuition charge is $70 per credit hour. A $20 per credit hour scholarship will be granted to those engaged in teaching or who intend to become active in education. The college has available a number of teaching and research assistantships for selected graduate students. Recipients of these assistantships will take two or three graduate courses per semes~ ter and will assist either in instructional or research work in their major departments. Applications for assistantships for the fall term must be made to the graduata school before the preceding February 15. Generally, research assistants will be able to write dissertations based on work done under their assistantships. A number of counselorships in undergraduate college dormitories are available each year to graduate students. These counselorships usually carry with them remission of room costs. 8 The program leading to the Master of Science Degree in Biology includes three distinct requirements: course work, inde,. , pendent laboratory research, and a reading knowledge of one foreign language. A candidate for the Master of Science Degree in Biology must have a minimum of eighteen 400,..,level credits for gradua,. , tion. These 400,. , level credits will include six for thesis. A ma xi,., mum of nine 300.,..,level credits will be allowed. A candidate must have completed three credits in biochemistry or must take them at the college for credit. The candidate must demonstrate a reading knowledge of either French, German, Italian, or Russian, either through ex,., amination or by successful completion of two years of language in undergraduate school. Following completion of 18 of the 24 required credit hours of course work, a graduate student may make a written request of his adviser to take the comprehensive examination on the fundamental principles of biology. 9 �A graduate student in the Department of Biology is considered to be a candidate for the degree, Master of Science, after he has completed 24 credit hours of course work, fulfilled the language requirements, has passed the comprehensive written examination, and submitted the outline of his thesis. To qualify for the degree a candidate must present an acceptable thesis and must pass an oral examination in the subject area of his research.

He, perhaps more than any other individual, personified the spirit and essence of Wilkes. George was a huge and powerful spirit in a small package. No one filled a room fuller with optimism, high standards and fun than George did.When you saw and heard George, you received the best of Wilkes. And what he had to say was timeless. He connected positively and directly for a lifetime with the students in every decade he served Wilkes. My first encounter with George was not long after I accepted the presidency.We were at a reception for alumni in Naples, Fla. He came up to me and said, “Welcome! Feel free to call on me any time to help you. You have become president of a great institution. Now take care of it!” And he meant every word. Never did I ask him to do something that he did not rise to the occasion. His loss is a great one, but the memories he has left with us are priceless. His spirit was the essence of our mentoring culture: caring deeply about others — helping them when they need it most, no matter what the time of day or night. Alumni tell story after story about George being there at precisely the moment he was needed and doing absolutely George Ralston the right thing. If George Ralston had a vision for Wilkes, I believe it would be for us to become an even stronger community that selflessly devotes itself to others in the name of making the world a better place. George, in your memory, I believe we will.And as we do come together for others, we will thrive in a way that we all hope will make you proud!

TOUEY 3 �on campus Toward a Law School '' A law school moved one step closer to reality when the University Board of Trustees in June approved hiring a legal education leader to develop a plan, further investigate market demand, explore potential specializations and raise funds for the school’s founding. “We are moving forward in a thoughtful way and are overall very excited about the possibilities this law school will have for Wilkes and the region,” says board chair Jack Miller ’68. The education leader will report and make recommendations to the board at its June or September 2008 meeting.With a favorable report and further faculty approval, Wilkes could open a law school in fall 2009. “The University recognizes how important it is to proceed with the greatest due diligence – Jack Miller ’68 when it comes to Board Chair establishing a law school,” says Wilkes President Tim Gilmour. “The entire Wilkes community wants to provide a distinctive legal education that is based on the core values of the University and will graduate well-motivated and effective lawyer-leaders.” In spring, faculty also backed further planning for a law school. “With its vote, the Wilkes faculty overwhelmingly agreed that developing an academically strong and fiscally well-conceived law school at Wilkes would benefit the institution, its students and the “We are MOVING FORWARD in a thoughtful way and are overall very EXCITED about the POSSIBILITIES this LAW SCHOOL will have for Wilkes and the region. WILKES | Fall 2007 ' 4 region,” observes Kenneth Klemow, professor of biology and chair of the Academic Planning Committee. “We anticipate working productively with the Board of Trustees and administration to develop a solid plan that will ensure the law school's success.” The law school would likely incorporate Wilkes’ core value of mentoring into the heart of its educational program, including a strong experiential education model that will span the length of the curriculum and integrate concepts of lawyering skills, professionalism and ethics.The law school will complement and strengthen the university’s existing mix of academic programs and provide the region with an area of educational training that is in demand and currently not offered in northeastern Pennsylvania. Preliminary plans call for enrolling 80 first-year students in 2009.

Students can currently take only core graduate courses online.The 38-credit program, which will take most part-time students three to four years to complete, offers concentrations in gerontologic nursing, psychiatric/mental health nursing, nursing education and nursing management.The concentrations prepare registered nurses for careers with abundant opportunities for advancement. Bridgette Zielinski ’76, associate professor and codirector of the master’s program, says the online format offers flexibility and convenience.“Our online program allows nurses to enroll in graduate courses and advance their careers regardless of location.” A low-residency requirement will become part of the program, giving the online learning community the opportunity to meet in person. Students, faculty and staff can now receive University emergency alerts via their cellular or landline phones. Besides providing text and voice alerts, the system will also ring classroom emergency phones so students and faculty who have switched off or muted their cell phones will be alerted to emergency news.The system enhances the existing emergency communication plan, which includes mass e-mails, a phone hotline, a Web-based news delivery system and more than 40 emergency phones in campus buildings that directly dial into the public safety office. “We were getting ready to implement this system when the unfortunate events at Virginia Tech occurred,” says President Tim Gilmour. “There cannot be a higher priority than ensuring the safety and security of the campus community. Now we have a more direct and effective way to communicate in case of threat or emergency.” This system will be used only for emergency communication and not for general information or advertisements. Notices may include closures and delays, community crime notifications and weather emergencies.The service is free, but cellular service providers may charge for air time used when receiving messages. -- .. - Ho:,,BI- -• _r,.., ......

I’m very proud of the work they did, and proud to be able to help provide both them and the community with such an important musical experience.” Wilkes University singers joined three other choirs and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic to perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.

ALL PHOTOS BY WARREN RUDA WILKES | Fall 2007 T 10 he Wilkes baseball team found itself behind the proverbial eight ball after opening Freedom Conference play with a 3-7 record. However, the Colonels rallied to win seven of their final eight conference games to reach the playoffs.Then they swept all three games in the conference tournament to claim their first conference title since 1994 and first NCAA Division III bid since 1978. “We put our own backs to the wall, and then we caught fire.The team played great under pressure,” explains 12-year head coach Joe Folek. “This was not a very vocal, rah-rah type of team. Our guys didn’t say much during our streak. They just got back to playing good, old-fashioned, hard-nosed baseball.” The Colonels ended the year with an overall record of 24-12 and won 14 of their final 17 games.They opened the conference tournament with a 4-3 win in 11 innings over top-seeded DeSales University.The Wilkes bats then came alive in a 17-8 victory over number-two seed King’s College in the winner’s bracket final. In the championship game, junior Tom Buckler, named the tournament’s most valuable player, pitched a complete game four-hitter to lift the Colonels to an 8-1 win over DeSales and the conference crown. Buckler was also the winning pitcher in the Colonels first win over DeSales. The Colonels placed four players on the All-Conference team, including junior outfielder/pitcher Kyle Follweiler. Follweiler, who was also the MAC’s Defensive Player of the Year in football last fall, hit .370 during the season to lead an offensive attack that hit at a .294 clip. Junior third baseman Chris Mayerski, junior outfielder/pitcher Corey Helfrich and junior outfielder/pitcher Brad Woznisky were named to the second team. Folek picked up the conference’s Coach of the Year award, a title he also collected in 2002. �athletics Fall Season Forecast The Wilkes University football team defends its Middle Atlantic Conference championship this fall. The Colonels come off a perfect 10-0 regular season and an 11-1 record overall. “Our team is anxious to face the challenges of the upcoming season,” says head coach Frank Sheptock. “A more difficult schedule and the graduation of an outstanding senior class will make Al Karaffa begins his fourth this season a true test to our program.” year as starting quarterback. That schedule includes the addition of Rowan and Montclair State universities to regular-season play. Rowan blasted the Colonels’ playoff bids in both 2005 and 2006.This fall, they meet at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15, at Ralston Field. Sheptock, who was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in July for his standout performance as a linebacker at Bloomsburg University, welcomes back six All-Conference players from a season ago.“Our players understand the commitment and work ethic it takes to reach a championship level.We need to take a very ‘blue collar’ approach to our preparation, and play with the pride that this program was built on through many great players and teams.” Women’s Tennis To Defend Title With five of six singles starters returning, expectations are running high for the 2007 Wilkes women’s tennis team. Under the guidance of head coach Chris Leicht, Freedom Conference Coach of the Year in 2006, the Lady Colonels posted an overall record of 18-2 last fall, winning their first Freedom Conference title and earning their first NCAA Championship bid.

Junior Alison McDonald joined Zhang on the All-Conference first team after compiling a 17-3 singles record out of the number-two position. Singles player junior Kristin Wilt was a second team All-Conference selection last season, registering a 15-4 record in individual play. “I am very excited for the upcoming women’s tennis season,” Leicht explains. His biggest challenge will be integrating freshmen with upperclass players.“I have a strong recruiting class coming into Wilkes, and they will be ready to challenge for varsity positions. I would like to emphasize our doubles play. I feel this is one area we can improve upon.” Field Hockey A more experienced field hockey team takes the field this season.The Lady Colonels return all but one player from last year’s squad, which posted a 9-9 record. Says head coach Sara Fuller, “With our talented veterans and a strong group of incoming freshmen, I am excited to see how the season unwinds.This year, our main goal will be playing a full 70 minutes intensely, and supporting each other in all positions on the field.” Women’s Soccer Women’s soccer welcomes its largest team in history. “We have 20 newcomers, including 11 recruited freshmen, six walk-ons and three other current Wilkes students. This will be an exciting team,” promises head coach John Sumoski.

And fitness standards are significantly more difficult than in the past. Men’s Soccer With three All-Conference players returning, the men’s soccer team is eager to begin the new season.The Colonels went 12-6-1 a year ago. “We graduated eight seniors from last year’s team, including four-year, all-conference players in the goal, central midfield and forward positions,” says head coach Phil Wingert. “That group will be difficult to replace in one year, but the current, senior leadership is excellent, and there’s a strong nucleus of returning players from last year’s playoff team.The incoming group of new players should complement the returnees.” Volleyball With five starters returning, the volleyball team is anxious to begin the 2007 season. Junior Katherine Harrington leads the group after registering a team-high 290 kills a year ago. Also returning are senior Kristen Linhart, who had 255 kills and 291 digs; sophomore LeeAnn Searfoss, who added 151 kills and 51 assists; senior Katherine Simons, who contributed 116 kills; and sophomore Julie Page, with 95 kills.

High School, when I was a student there and George joined the faculty after his WWII military service. He was a helpful teacher and coach who participated fully in school life. I remember his ringing baritone voice singing “Waterboy” at a school concert. He promoted the living of a healthful, disciplined life and warned everyone of the evils of tobacco. He taught us a little poem: “Tobacco is a filthy weed, From old Satan came the seed. It steals your money and soils your clothes And makes a chimney of your nose.” George Ralston was very helpful when I came to Wilkes as a student in 1947, and throughout my four years there. Although I left the area upon graduation, I kept in touch with George over the years when I came to visit family and drop by Wilkes to see how it was growing. He always remembered me, and I thought this was truly amazing, given the thousands of lives he had touched. When I visited Wilkes for my 50th anniversary in 2001, I recited the tobacco poem during a private moment with George and he hugged me, as was his style, but had to ask, “Do you smoke?” No, George; I learned from you. – Wade Hayhurst ’51 (left), Mollusk,Va. Second Chances WILKES | Fall 2007 The year was 1957 and I was called in to see Dean Ralston in June. In the 1956 semester, I had mostly A’s and B’s, but in the 1957 semester I had a C, D and F’s. I can hear the first words out of his mouth even now: “Son, what happened to you?” Before I could say anything, he went on. “How can you go down so far?” I explained that my father had died, and that I took the finals between funeral services. Dean Ralston said,“Did you ever think to tell anybody? You could have taken the finals later.” Then he said,“Here is what we are going to do.Those grades with F’s, you will be allowed to take the finals over. But those that you passed – even if it’s a D – those grades stand.” And then he called the professors and explained what happened. If he hadn’t been reviewing students’ grades, no would have known. For that I’m very grateful to Dean Ralston. In 1954, Wilkes’ football team was over visiting the Wyoming Seminary post-graduate football team. I was on the high school team watching the teams play, and Wilkes was getting the worse of it. 14 In September 2003, the Ancestral Colonels honored Dean Ralston with a plaque at the football field that bears his name. A Gentle Push Dean Ralston called his team together and stood in the middle of them (he came up to their shoulders) and said,“Men, we have to do better than this, or it is going to be a long year.” That was all he said, and they started playing again. – Kelly J.

A Lasting Impression Dean Ralston is the reason why I came to Wilkes, stayed at Wilkes and returned to Wilkes. I first met Dean Ralston when I was in ninth grade, long before I was thinking about college. He made such a positive impression on me that I decided to attend Wilkes. While at Wilkes, I saw Dean Ralston as a role model. On occasion, I would find the opportunity to talk to him. His words, and the way he said them, made me see him as a role model. have the lasting influence over Wilkes that he had. George’s focus on the individual and the emphasis he placed on the bonds formed through relationship are the very core of the student experience at Wilkes. His MARK on Wilkes is INDELIBLE. I can’t imagine anyone will ever better demonstrate through word and deed what it means to value each student, no matter her/his aptitude. In everyone, he could see the GOODNESS and POTENTIAL. – Paul Adams ’77, Kingston, Pa. Vice President for Student Affairs Wilkes University WILKES | Fall 2007 A Healthful, Disciplined Life 15 �Let’s Go Wilkes! A Precious Gift Indeed I vividly remember, during freshmen orientation in September 1967, Dean Ralston leading us in his special cheer.The freshmen in beanies and blue and gold ties sitting on the ground, Dean Ralston raised his arms in front of his face, fingers wiggling. “Let’s go Wilkes,” he whispered. As he drew his arms across his face again and again, the volume increased until we were shouting, “Let’s go Wilkes!” – Walter Furtney ’71, Shoreview, Minn. Many things could be said about George. I mention just two: His marvelous capacity to place names with faces, and his skill at incorporating his faith into his work. I cannot remember a time when I did not know George, or when he did not know me. So I was not terribly surprised when, during freshmen orientation in the fall of 1971, he greeted me by name among a group of fellow freshmen from my dorm, Sterling Hall. My housemates, however, were very impressed: “Wow! Dean Ralston knows you?” The next time we were together with George at some function, he called every single one of us by name, and I understood for the first time how important that mnemonic skill was, and how gifted a practitioner George was. His capacious memory banks must have held thousands of faces, names and factoids about students.What I had attributed, during freshmen orientation, to George having known me from church was translated to a wider world view, embracing everyone even remotely connected with Wilkes. George’s faith was wondrous to behold. Of course, his job at Wilkes was not as a chaplain or spiritual guide; but he stressed core values of fair play, good sportsmanship and academic integrity that grew directly out of his love for and service to Jesus Christ. George was an off-the-scale extrovert, which led to his behavior being well-known and minutely scrutinized, at some level, by all the undergraduates I knew. When a friend of my roommate’s had been “sent down” to see Dean Ralston after a plagiarism incident, my roommate expressed an incredulity that George had dressed her friend down with words that left no doubt about his commitment to leading students down a morality-guided path. Oh, Brother WILKES | Fall 2007 My brother, Grover, had come to visit me and was a little put off by the rules at Sterling Hall that would not allow guys to visit my room. My dorm mother would not believe he was my brother, so Grover got an idea to climb up the fire escape near my room.We visited a while, and when he went to climb down later, the security guards greeted him! My roommate and I were horrified, and as they took my brother to a station wagon in front of the dorm, we went around the block trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Finally, in walked the sense of reason, Dean Ralston, and he met with my roommate and me, and he was so kind and respectful of our feelings. He set everything straight, and my brother was released.We will never forget that night. He cared so much about all of us, and it was incredible how he handled things with grace, dignity and a great sense of humor, which calms everything down, so misunderstandings are easily worked through for everyone’s benefit. – Holly Stults ’74, Santa Fe, N.M. 16 Dean Ralston was Wilkes’ biggest fan and most enthusiastic cheerleader. �Long-Distance Degree I had a rough start during my first year at Wilkes in 1978, but eventually I was able to stay the course only to fall short of funds to finish my last semester. I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, where I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan. While there, I took several night courses over the course of a year and a half to complete my degree in business administration. I wrote Dean Ralston asking if I could possibly transfer my last semester of courses taken overseas toward my degree from Wilkes. I was very happy to receive a letter back from Dean Ralston, who remembered me and granted the transfer. Due to a problem with flights from Japan, I was not able to attend the graduation and be able to personally thank Dean Ralston for both his guidance and kindness. Anton “Andy” Haryluck ’82, Bury Saint Edmunds, Suffolk, England Ubiquitous Biker When I first attended Wilkes back in 1977, I would see Dean Ralston riding around campus on his antique bike, saying hello to everyone.

WILKES | Fall 2007 George was a fine speaker, and the times he filled in for Jule Ayers in the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church were occasions for George to state explicitly what motivated his relationships to students, faculty and administration. George never talked of Jesus at school, but he certainly did, and with great integrity, in other places. His example has motivated me to live, and not just speak, what I believe. He was a role model that has helped me in a variety of both church and secular settings to minister with people who might have no overtly expressed religious beliefs. A precious gift indeed. – The Rev. Nancy E.

B.A., History 1978 Career: Owns Lewith & Freeman Real Estate, a full-service agency serving Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. Notable: Over 20 years, expanded the business from one office with eight people to six offices and 120 people. WILKES | Fall 2007 W HEN RHEA POLITIS SIMMS ’78 bought Lewith & Freeman Real Estate in 1986, she felt she had to either keep the Kingston, Pa., company small and “boutique” or adopt technology and grow. She opted for the latter. Simms recruited new agents and sought areas ripe for expansion, buying a small real estate firm in Luzerne County’s Back Mountain area. Later she expanded with additional offices in Mountain Top, Drums and Wilkes-Barre.Three years ago, Lewith & Freeman branched into Lackawanna County, opening an office in fast-growing Clarks Summit. The company has grown from one office staffed with eight people to six offices with 120 realtor associates and support staff. “We became more regional in our thinking,” Simms says, explaining her strategy. She recognized the need for greater regional planning and thinking. The company added a mortgage department, title insurance and insurance services for clients.Though she’s been approached numerous times over the years to join national franchises, Simms remains committed to operating an independent agency. “I’ve always felt that real estate is personal. People want to be taken care of, and people want personal service.” She attributes her company’s growth to dedicated sales associates and excellent managers. The company hires carefully and emphasizes training. Mentors guide new agents for several months as they learn the business. The formula works. Lewith & Freeman ranks first in Luzerne County for factored sales volume, just shy of $330 million in 2006. In Lackawanna County, the company ranks in the top five of 75 real estate offices.“Growth comes with good training, good people, good relationships,” she emphasizes. One of the Wyoming Valley’s most prominent businesswomen, the Shavertown, Pa., resident entered Wilkes as a music major in 1958. She left in 1960 to marry Ron Simms ’60 and move to Oklahoma for his military service. When they returned to the Wyoming Valley, she was raising three daughters while earning her real estate license and taking courses toward the history degree she completed in 1978. “I was by far a more serious student coming back than I was as an 18-year-old,” confesses Simms, who enjoyed her interaction with the younger students. She recalls gathering around the kitchen table with her young daughters to do homework. “We kind of all studied together.” Real estate, with its flexible schedule, seemed like a good business for a woman with young children.

Technology meets creativity INTEGRATIVE MEDIA PROGRAM GRADUATES ITS FIRST STUDENTS By Cindy Taren WILKES | Fall 2007 Jessica Gannon practices assembling digital imagery on the computer. 20 “I hope to one day be a lead supervisor for a major motion picture and postproduction company, and eventually freelance my abilities to different motion pictures.” The integrative media curriculum blends technology and design training to prepare students for careers in feature film, broadcast, independent production companies, interactive media, corporate and government environments. It started in 2001, when a group of faculty led by Darin Fields, dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, developed a new program to target the convergence of media, information, technology, art, culture, business and entertainment. “Universities today must continually innovate to respond to the changing world graduates will enter,” says Fields. Eric Ruggiero, director and cofounder of the integrative media department, says faculty observed that graduates with the most success in the job market were those with training in multiple disciplines. “To prepare yourself to dive into the job market, it’s optimal to have a highly versatile range of skills, as well as the capacity for collaboration.” The recently completed IM Studio houses systems and software comparable to the best facilities worldwide and simulates an environment supportive and critical to the process of visual content creation, Ruggiero explains. The major blends a design and technology curriculum with one or more minors in art, computer science, entrepreneurship, business, communications and English. Students within these specialties might fill artistic or business positions such as production manager, producer, director, art director, editor, motion designer, writer, interactive guru, coder, animator or special effects artist. Eric Miller of Dunmore, Pa., had earned an associate degree in computer design before coming to Wilkes. He was to graduate with an integrative media degree this summer. Miller interned last year with Promax/BDA, a worldwide association of entertainment marketers, promoters and designers, representing television stations and broadcast and cable networks, at its international Chris Hager works in the well-equipped IM Studio. conference in New York City. He works as a freelance Web site designer for a local accounting and management firm. The integrative media program “has led to opportunities to become involved in more of the collaborative process of digital design,” he explains. Miller’s dream job is to become creative director of a design firm. “The program is project oriented,” Ruggiero says, “encouraging students to come up with ideas, either on their own or working with a group.” Students graduate with professional portfolios, which will help show off their skills to potential employers and clients. Matt Beekman ’89 directs creative services at Deluxe Digital Studios, Moosic, Pa. He routinely seeks student interns skilled in mixed media. “Our ideal intern has an eye for art, as well as knowledge of computers, video, audio and editing.” Beekman used his degree in graphic design to start a career in the television industry. “I had to gain the experience needed for my current profession from working in the field over several years and job changes. The (integrative media) major definitely gives graduates an advantage because they will have the skills to get a better job straight from college.” Chelsey Grosse and Pete Mulvey learn about layering text, images and animation.

So when Wilkes University announced its new integrative media major in 2005, he quickly switched from computer science. “Having always been a big movie and technology guru, the major seemed to better fit my interests,” the major’s first graduate says. “I didn’t want to sit behind a desk for the rest of my life coding languages for computers. This program will help me to get into a field where creative minds come together to create unique experiences and products.” Rogers, of Dayton, N.J., now plans to pursue a master of fine arts degree in computer graphics and then join the industry in either movies or advertising. 21 �Bounce Back WHEN LIFE THREW BASEBALL STANDOUT TONY VLAHOVIC A CURVE, HE TURNED IT INTO AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP OTHERS WILKES | Fall 2007 By Sherrie Flick 22 Vlahovic’s personal understanding of the psychology of healing motivated him to open a post-rehabilitation fitness center.

I lived it. …I’m able to make my mark by being empathetic — understanding the psychology of healing.” Vlahovic sought out supportive staff members who would say to clients,“We can do this.This is our first goal; this is where we’re moving to.” Vlahovic originally set up the business near his residence in New Hope, Pa., but moved the center to Princeton, N.J., to be closer to the university medical center. Until June 30, the two-story facility housed 14 personal trainers, 25 specialized instructors, and weight training for all ages and phases of conditioning using top-of-theline equipment. Momentum offered yoga, meditation and pilates classes, along with a heated resistance pool for training and aerobics. Vlahovic closed that facility to open a new one in Hopewell, N.J., this September. The expanded facility will allow more special programming. He plans to offer training for young athletes while continuing special fitness programs for people living with cancer, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. The move will also shorten his daily commute and give him more time with wife Nina and children Anthony, 9, and Sabrina, 5. “I think if you can find something that has some other value to it,” Vlahovic says,“it doesn’t feel like work.You can contribute something while you’re on this earth.” Vlahovic’s best friend of 25 years, Ivan Shidlovsky ’81, confirms Vlahovic’s dedication. “His character is above reproach; honest and caring, always trying to figure out how to help others to improve their lives.” Tony Vlahovic New Hope, Pa.

When cancer and a drunk driver nipped his achievement on the athletic field, they fueled his desire to help others with his own unique mix of fitness and psychology. At age 14, testicular cancer left him frail and compromised his immune system.“It was a real shock,” Vlahovic says, a setback that would have ended most young athletes’ dreams. But with the help of supportive coaches, he began a health and weight-training program that restored his athleticism.“I think maturity-wise I moved ahead then. My friends might laugh — I have a good sense of humor — but I looked at life differently. It took on a different feel. Headed me on a journey I really wasn’t sure where I was going.” By his senior year, large universities came courting. But then an injury cost him their scholarship offers.Wilkes College baseball coach Gene Domzalski saw past the injury. “He came to see me in person and said,‘We have a place for you. Here’s a great opportunity to get a great education, go to a smaller school and play in college.’ ” The psychology major’s college athletic performance didn’t escape the notice of professional baseball scouts. After a year-long stint in a European league, he signed with the Boston Red Sox as a left-handed pitcher in 1983. A childhood dream fulfilled. But more challenges lay in store. On his way to spring training in 1986, a drunk driver rear-ended him. “It destroyed both my truck and my left leg.” Depressed and immobilized, he started physical therapy. “I had to go from my childhood dream of being a pro athlete to learning to walk again,”Vlahovic PHOTOS COURTESY OF TONY VLAHOVIC 23 �WILKES | Fall 2007 24 Alphonso and the band The Collective take to stages in northeast Pennsylvania about three nights a week.

W t5cy~ lM WILKES WILKES | Fall 2008 WILKES MAGAZINE University President Dr. Tim Gilmour ILKES UNIVERSITY HAS WEATHERED MANY storms over the years – not just the catastrophic Agnes flood, but the challenges of the Depression, war and economic instability. It continues not only to survive but to thrive as both an educational institution and a vibrant member of the communities it serves. The University’s success stems from its unique and deep commitment to community.That commitment is what attracted me to Wilkes, and such commitment will define the quality of successful institutions in the future. Many initiatives have demonstrated this commitment over the years: engineering UNIVERSITY programs founded to support the region’s 1933-2008 electronics industry; pre-medicine, pharmacy and nursing programs vital to serving medical needs; environmental science studies crucial to healing scars left by mining; and graduate education to enhance K-12 teaching and administration.Wilkes is also committed to providing each undergraduate student with a strong foundation in the liberal arts and sciences, which are essential for success in a constantly changing world. I came to Wilkes because of its capacity to look beyond self-interest and because of the small classes that allow students to develop close relationships with faculty and staff mentors. And as we chart the course for the future, we remain faithful to these values. To succeed and flourish in the long-term, we must broaden our sense of whom we serve and where.We must grow to meet lifelong education needs through graduate and adult programs. As students’ needs University President Tim Gilmour PHOTO BY KIM BOWER-SPENCE change, we will need to change as well. Interest in web-based programs is exploding, especially as the energy crisis comes upon us, and we must be prepared to meet that demand. And we must continuously explore new academic opportunities, as we are with the law school. At the end of the day, we must offer a set of programs that balances the ups and downs of demand while increasing our profile and prominence in the region. However, our dedication to the student will not change. 2 FA L L 0 8 Dr. Tim Gilmour Wilkes University President Vice President for Advancement Michael Wood Editor Kim Bower-Spence Executive Editor Jack Chielli Associate Director, Marketing Communications Christine Tondrick ’98 Creative Services Mark Golaszewski Web Services Craig Thomas Graduate Assistant Shannon Curtin ’07 Layout/Design Quest Fore Printing Payne Printery Inc.

WILKES | Fall 2008 The Sounds of Wilkes PHOTO BY CHRISTINE TONDRICK 3 �on campus Law School Initiative Takes Step Forward With Hiring of Dean Loren Prescott Loren D. “Chip” Prescott Jr. took the reins as dean of the Wilkes University Law School Planning Initiative on June 1. Prescott, formerly vice dean and professor at Widener University School of Law, Harrisburg, Pa., leads efforts to investigate feasibility and develop plans for northeastern Pennsylvania’s first law school. Preliminary plans call for enrolling between 80 and 100 first-year students in fall 2010. “If feasible, the addition of a law school represents a great opportunity for the revitalization of Wilkes-Barre and the region.Wilkes’ mentoring culture is uniquely suited to training a new generation of attorneys skilled in the practice, not just the theory, of law,” said President Tim Gilmour. “Chip Prescott brings both experience and vision to this initiative.” As dean, Prescott will complete an in-depth market analysis of enrollment trends, look at parameters for a law school library, and develop a trailblazing curriculum. He is scheduled to submit plans for trustee consideration in April 2009. “The Wilkes Law School Initiative provides Wilkes University with a unique opportunity to serve the legal community in northeast Pennsylvania as it participates in the debate over the future of legal education,” Prescott says. “I look forward to working with my new colleagues at Wilkes and with the bench and bar in NEPA as we continue to pursue this important new project at Wilkes.” Job demand for lawyers remains strong, with starting salaries dependent on where and in what fields one practices, according to the Association of Legal Career Professionals. In addition, 90.7 percent of 2006 law school graduates for whom employment status was known were employed as of Feb. 15, 2007. The overall median starting salary reached $62,000, while the median compensation for private practice was $95,000. Prescott began his career as a certified public accountant, receiving a bachelor’s degree in business administration from University of Washington. He earned his juris doctor degree from Willamette University College of Law and a master of laws degree in taxation from University of Florida College of Law. He is currently a doctoral candidate in public administration at Penn State University.

Wilkes will use the grant to strengthen students’ abilities in mathematics, physical sciences and computer science so they can integrate these disciplines into life sciences. New “super labs” will immerse students in research for 10 days between their sophomore and junior years. Students will have more opportunity for laboratory and research experience thanks to a $1 million grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

WILKES | Fall 2008 Madeleine Albright and Environmental Innovator Highlight Fall Lectures 5 �athletics Wilkes Legends THREE HALL OF FAMERS LEAVE AN INDELIBLE MARK ON ATHLETICS By Reid R. Frazier Left to right: John Reese, Doris Saracino and Rollie Schmidt influenced students well beyond the bounds of sport. WILKES | Fall 2008 O 6 NE WAS A LEGENDARY wrestling coach.Another made sure that women, too, could have their turn on the field or court. And another went four years without losing a single game. For decades, John Reese, wrestling coach and athletic director, Doris “Dorie” Saracino, women’s coach and athletic administrator, and Rollie Schmidt, football coach, were Wilkes athletics. Those who played for them say the lessons they learned extended far beyond the bounds of sport. Wrestling Preparedness John Reese was the wrestling coach at Wilkes for 42 years, the longest tenure of any coach at any school in the country, and if you were to ask him how he managed to win 500 matches, two national titles, and go undefeated five times, his answer would be pretty simple.“I prepared,” says Reese, of Kingston, Pa.“Every night after I ate, I’d go upstairs and take my cue cards and get ready for the next practice. Every practice I ran was organized, and I think the kids knew that.” After taking over the program in 1953, Reese built a wrestling powerhouse that tangled with, and often beat, much bigger schools. His most memorable win? At Navy, 1973.Wilkes’ 150-pounder clinched the match by pinning his opponent “on the anchor” — the iconic Navy emblem in the center of the home team’s mat.“It was unbelievable,” remembers Reese, who became a member of eight �athletics Blazing Trails for Women When Dorie Saracino came to Wilkes as a physical education instructor in 1960, women’s athletics consisted of a basketball team that practiced two days a week, and not much else.That soon changed. She coached the basketball team and started a field hockey team. Under Saracino’s guidance, the school eventually added several others.“The women needed something. The women wanted to play,” Saracino, of Kingston, says. Saracino was active on women’s intercollegiate athletics committees with the Mid-Atlantic Conference and NCAA. Representing Wilkes, she voted to include women’s athletics under the NCAA umbrella, granting equal footing for female athletics at small schools like Wilkes. She also coached volleyball from 1975 to 1989. At 4 feet 10 inches, she is “a giant in women’s athletics,” remembers Dotty Martin ’77, a newspaper editor with the Times-Leader in Wilkes-Barre who played basketball. “In my opinion, she is Wilkes women’s athletics,” says Candice Cates Zientek ’71, a professor of exercise science at Shippensburg University. Zientek, of Fayetteville, Pa., adds,“She had a tireless enthusiasm for women’s athletics. She’d work so hard, it would make you want to work hard.” A Golden Career Rollie Schmidt was not one to give rousing halftime lectures to his football teams.“He didn’t have to say a lot,” remembers former Wilkes guard Bill Hanbury ’72, now chief executive officer of the convention bureau of Washington, D.C., where he lives. “We were so well-prepared that by the time the game started, everybody knew what they had to do.” ' In my opinion, she is Wilkes women’s athletics. She had a TIRELESS ENTHUSIASM for women’s athletics. She’d work so hard, it would make you WANT TO WORK HARD. '' - Candice Cates Zientek ’71, Professor of Exercise Science, Shippensburg University Schmidt, who coached the team from 1962 to 1981, amassed a record of 92-73, including a stretch in which the “Golden Horde” won 32 games in a row over five seasons. For three seasons, the team was 8-0. His teams won five conference championships and two Lambert Bowls. Schmidt also coached baseball and golf. “The two catch phrases he had all over the locker room were ‘pride’ and ‘poise,’” says Garfield Jones ’72, a regional vice president for InTouch Health, a medical robotics company.“If you’re prepared, you’re never out of it,” says the Shavertown, Pa., resident. He adds that many games were won in the last quarter or last few plays. A case in point stands out as Schmidt’s most memorable game. In 1966, Lebanon Valley and Wilkes were tied 7-7. LV scored and then missed the extra point, and Wilkes recovered the ball on the 20-yard line. Just one second remained, with 80 yards to go. Quarterback Joe Zakowski ’70 threw a Hail Mary pass. The intended receiver fumbled, but the ball bounced off the shoulder of Paul Purta ’67, who caught it and made the touchdown. WILKES | Fall 2008 halls of fame, including the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1999. Reese also brought home Wilkes’ first national championship in school history, in 1974. “He taught us perseverance,” says Ron Miller ’93, an instructional designer from Woodbridge,Va., who wrestled and coached for Reese. “It wasn’t necessarily about the winning, it was about the effort we put into it.” 7 �Devoted toWILKES AL AND JANE LAMPE GROH SAY COMMITMENT TO STUDENTS MARKED THE INSTITUTION FROM ITS BEGINNING By Kim Bower-Spence A L GROH’S ASSOCIATION WITH Wilkes spans every decade of its 75-year existence. He arrived on the campus of Bucknell University Junior College as a student in 1939, returned less than a decade later to teach at BUJC, Wilkes College and Wilkes University, and still maintains a close relationship and affection for the institution that gave him not only an education but a career, a mission — and wife Jane Lampe Groh. The Wilkes-Barre native and 1941 BUJC graduate recalls walking by the fledgling institution’s buildings on his way to Boy Scouts. His parents encouraged him to attend the local junior college. Classes, each with about 20 students, took place in the original Conyngham Hall, lost to fire in 1968. Groh helped pay his way by working on the maintenance staff. “One of the things I did was clean the gutters on Chase Hall.” After studying English, speech, drama, economics, sociology and music at BUJC, Groh and fellow student Muriel Rees enrolled at Syracuse University Al and Jane Groh still live in the Kingston, Pa., home where they were married in 1977.

Groh majored in English, journalism, radio and theater. With World War II brewing, Groh had enlisted in the service before heading off to Syracuse. He was called up the March before his scheduled graduation; he and other soldiers received their degrees on time anyway. Groh flew 50 missions as an engineer gunner in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Foggia, Italy, in 1943-44. Upon his return to Wilkes-Barre, Groh worked at his father’s Studebaker dealership for a year. Then Sanguiliano asked him to replace her as BUJC’s director of theater when she left to marry. A garage behind Chase Hall — a replica of the stately mansion — served as the theater for his production of Barretts of Wimpole Street, depicting the real-life romance of poets Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning. Groh began teaching English, speech and theater at Wilkes in 1948 and never left. Groh recalls enthusiastic support from the community, with local shops donating costumes and citizens attending performances.The Wilkes-Barre Kiwanis Club sponsored musicals from the 1950s through the 1970s. Groh spearheaded efforts to build the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts, completed in 1965.

George Ralston was my football and basketball coach at Forty Fort High School. Eighteen of us from the Wyoming Valley high schools passed the test and entered Bucknell Junior College as freshmen. I was one of two from Forty Fort High.We had one girl in the group. The theater was the Chase Hall garage or carriage house.We were directed to always refer to it as the theater, never as the garage. The student body was primarily young women, since most males of college age were already in the armed forces. At age 16, I was one of the few males on campus. There were some informal social events such as tea dances in Chase Hall.As I recall, there were off-campus events such as a prom, but there were not enough students to make much of a difference. Also, most of us were concentrating on making good grades, lived at home, and commuted to Bucknell on the trolley. There were some good athletes among the few males on campus, but most intercollegiate sports were a wartime casualty. The nearby YMCA was the center of athletics for BUJC, and we played an informal basketball schedule with local high schools. The strength of the Bucknell Junior College, in my opinion, was the administration of Dr. Eugene Farley and an outstanding faculty. I have learned from other sources that Bucknell University, like many others in wartime, was 75 YEARS of Memories AS WILKES UNIVERSITY CELEBRATES ANOTHER MILESTONE, ALUMNI, FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATORS SHARE THEIR STORIES Five-story Glen Stark Hall Golden Horde era Alden building Artillery Park is expansion begins with football (Parrish Hall) leased for athletics opens team’s 34-0 defeat WILKES | Fall 2008 purchased 12 of Ursinus Stark Hall opens Darte Center for the Performing Arts dedicated First three master’s degrees awarded Ralston Field hosts first athletic contest �under extreme financial pressure, and transferred seven faculty members to BUJC to reduce costs. In doing so, BUJC was on the way to success. The faculty included Drs. Charles Reif, Paul Geis, Daniel Gage and Mary Craig. I am slighting some others, since as a liberal arts major I avoided science and math classes that were not requirements. I do recall Dr. Reif telling his class that overpopulation and destruction of the environment would affect our futures. He was an outstanding prophet as well as a teacher. He also did considerable research of nearby Harvey’s Lake. Over the years, I have enjoyed the alumni magazine articles about “Sangy’s girls,” my classmates of that era. By 1944, there were few males on campus. Poor Norma Sanguiliano was so desperate for a male lead for a play she directed that she cast me in the role. I had little interest in the show, and my performance was mediocre at best. It was apparent that BUJC was barely hanging on financially. There were no male high school graduates to fill classes, and many girls passed up on college to fill jobs that earlier had been the province of boys. Fortunately for BUJC, the college obtained a government contract to train Army Air Force cadets going into pilot training. The happy cadets on campus convinced me that my future was in the Air Force, and I unwisely enlisted in the reserve at age 17, passing up on all the free college alternatives available through the other services, in particular the Navy. Dr. Paul Geis was also an influence, since he offered me part-time employment correcting the papers of cadet navigators. Also, I wanted to enter the service as soon as possible, as I was afraid that I would miss the war if I did not act promptly. This may sound as strange reasoning today; but in those times, it was common thinking of most of the young people I knew. – Arthur C. Williams ’44, Sacramento, Calif. Testing Honor Academic life at BUJC was an excellent experience for me because I had the opportunity to demonstrate that when called upon to do the job, I could meet the challenge.This experience proved that a college career was not beyond my ability, so it was a great confidence builder for me. In all of our classes, it was understood that if there was a test, the teacher had to leave the room. This was part of the honor code. Another part was that if you saw anyone abusing the honor code, that person must be reported. I strongly supported the honor code; if a person could not be trusted in class, then how could that person be trusted to carry out an assigned and necessary task when not supervised? In the classrooms at BUJC, I did not see any abuses of the honor code. I loved Bucknell University Junior College and gained great confidence as a result of my experiences there. Our obligations to Wilkes and the U.S. Army Air Corps were just the ticket for dedicated and enthusiastic young men. BUJC was given a tremendous responsibility in educating its youthful cadets. In taking care of them, it accepted the responsibility and completed its obligation with an earnest commitment to the nation, the boys and the army. – John Agren, East Providence, R.I.

At the time, there were only two women on campus: myself and Dorothy Pickering. I was a student in the fine arts program, taking classes in voice, piano and organ. I took my first science class, with Dr. Charles Reif.A few weeks into the semester,he approached me and said,“Dorothy,I have heard you play and may I say, I think you are very good ... at science.” Later, I would go on to become the first woman president of the pre-med club at the school. It was tough for women to get into medical school at this time, mostly because space was limited and the schools were concerned about a woman being able to commit the time to the work involved in becoming a doctor, instead of committing Doris Gorka Bartuska themselves to raising a family. It was at the urging of Dr. Reif that I did pursue my studies in medicine at what was then called the Women’s Medical School of Philadelphia, today known as Drexel University. I recall the day I graduated from the school. As I was walking up the aisle after having accepted my diploma, I noticed a rather tall man standing there, and as I got closer I noticed it was Dr. Farley. He had driven down to Philadelphia to attend the service and congratulate me. – Doris Gorka Bartuska, M.D. ’49, Philadelphia, Pa. An All-Male Musical Thinking back on my undergraduate years at Wilkes, many things come to mind. The campus itself had a total of three buildings, many of us lived close enough to walk to class, and in the event you bumped into Dr. Farley and you were not wearing your tie, he made sure you knew he noticed. I relished being on the first wrestling and tennis teams and cocaptain and coach of the first swimming team, which met at the local YMCA.And I have many fond memories of the presentations I took part in with the thespians on campus. One unforgettable production was titled All in Fun. It was an all-male musical with words and music written by the students and the professors! The Irem Temple was the venue for the event.A summer was not complete without a picnic at Dr. Farley’s farm. And Dean Ralston coached some of the most astounding football teams, even going as far as driving the teams where they had to go to compete. Since 1949, this campus, with the guidance of some fine presidents and working boards, has undergone a metamorphosis that is remarkable.And despite our growing number and schools of learning, we hope to keep this family feeling, enabling us to help each other and Wilkes University to continue prospering into the 21st century. – Clayton Karambelas ’49, Kingston, Pa. Dinner and Tea With the Farleys I came from a very small high school in Waymart; in fact, we had only 34 students in the class, so it was quite exciting to begin going to Wilkes. I remember there were a lot of veterans going to school at the time I was there. One of my fondest memories of the school has to be the dinners and teas the Farleys would hold at Kirby Hall.They believed it was very important that the students not just study but also socialize outside of the classroom. So every once in a while, Dr. Farley and his wife, Eleanor, would invite some of us over for dinner. Of course, you found yourself having to be on your best behavior; Dr. Farley would expect nothing less. The campus was a very active one; the school would hold dances at St. Stephen’s Church in Wilkes-Barre with either a band or a D.J. Of course,we would go to the theater and other places,both with students and faculty.You always had the sense that faculty was there to help you, both in and out of the classroom; it really was like one big family. – Barbara Medland Farley ’50, Noxen, Pa.

Dr. Hammer asked me if I had ever considered teaching in a private school. My honest answer was “no.” I fully expected to teach in a public school, but was resigned to the fact that I would probably have to leave the area. The headmaster of Wyoming Seminary Day School (now Wyoming Seminary Lower School in Forty Fort) had contacted Dr. Hammer looking for someone to teach history. Dr. Hammer recommended me, and I went to the interview. Several days later, I was offered the position at what I thought was an insultingly low salary. The reality of securing a history position in 1964 was bleak. So with some trepidation, I accepted the Seminary position, which included free housing, room and board in one of the dormitories in Kingston. I assumed that I would stay a year or two and then move on to a secondary position. I found the teaching conditions at the day school almost ideal, with small classes, enthusiastic students and supportive parents. I spent 11 years at the day school, moving quickly into an administrative position. In 1976, I moved to Vero Beach, Fla., to become head of St. Edward’s Lower School. I remained at St. Edward’s until my retirement in 2004. My 39-year career stemmed directly from that conversation with Dr. Hammer. – Robert Bond ’64,Vero Beach, Fla. A Flood of Memories I have a lot of different feelings about the time of the Agnes Flood in the summer of 1972. At the time, I had decided to spend the time between my junior and senior year at Wilkes on campus. I took a summer job as an RA (resident assistant) and had signed up for a couple of classes, never expecting to find myself in The Agnes flood devastated campus in 1972. the middle of a natural disaster. I can still remember working with other volunteers down along the river, as we were packing sandbags and doing whatever we could to keep the water out. Then came the call to leave, get out of the area. I was very impressed with the way the town’s people welcomed me and other students into their homes and lives during that time. Finally, the water went down and we returned to campus. I recall wading through the mud and thinking about the loss and damage to these great homes and buildings. I was working with the director of housing at Wilkes, Don Yost, and spending days cleaning dorms, pushing out the flood mud, washing down walls and throwing out that which could not be salvaged.Then in the evenings, I would go to friends’ houses in the Pittston area and spend time helping them clean up. During the whole experience, I was amazed by the spirit of the people on campus and in the area, how they came together in such difficult times. – Glen Flack ’73, Delran, N.J. Honored to be Back My years at the college (and it was Wilkes College then!) saw many changes and adjustments, especially as a result of the flood of 1972. Prior to the flood in my freshman year, I remember having classes in the auditorium of the beautiful church on Northampton and South Franklin streets. I have many memories of eating lunch and hanging out at the “commons,” the eatery for commuter students which is no longer there. One of my history classes was in a small one-story building (also removed), next to the commons. The present library was a popular place to study and to socialize with other commuters. Now some 30 plus years later, I am back at Wilkes as an instructor in the ESL (English as a Second Language) program.While walking through the campus, I am able to Series established Evans Hall Chapman and opened Parrish halls Housing in and Guidance Sterling Hotel Center sold discontinued WILKES | Fall 2008 Rosenn Lecture 15 �witness the progress and observe the many improvements that have occurred throughout the years. I feel honored to have lived through part of its history and to be here on campus getting a feel for its future! – Anita (Miller) Williams ’75, Forty Fort, Pa. A Time for Breakthroughs As a Wilkes College student, I had the unique opportunity to view the world in a wider sense – to learn from the experiences of my professors and fellow students. These experiences allowed me to gain information that helped me develop skills and competence, and broaden my knowledge in many areas. They helped me build a foundation from which I have built a satisfying and meaningful career. Developing strong mentoring relationships were important to my success. Reflecting upon my undergraduate years, I can identify many examples where mentoring played a key role in enriching my educational experiences. For example, Alex Pawlenok, my advisor, persuaded me to persevere when I wanted to throw my accounting book out the fifth-floor window of Parrish Hall. Dr. Bradford Kinney helped me develop critical thinking skills and to organize and communicate in a clear and concise way. Having the opportunity to practice much of what I learned in the classroom was important to my development. Being elected junior class president gave me the first opportunity to work with a team of people of diverse backgrounds and skill sets. – Colleen M. Gries Gallagher ’81, Bridgewater, N.J. Rallying the Colonels One memory that stands out in my mind is the afternoon that a huge group of Wilkes students met at the Marts Center.We were all dressed up in blue and gold and we marched down to King’s Bob Wachowski College for their homecoming basketball game. The Wilkes stands were filled with fans that did not sit down and did not stop making noise from tip-off till the final buzzer. Another sport, another parade! Again, meeting at the Marts Center, a caravan of cars and a huge flying W float paraded through the streets of Wilkes-Barre (without a permit) and traveled to the King’s football field. The year was 1993 and the football team was 9-0 going into the final regular-season game. Wilkes fans were seated on both sides of the field, and again they were up and cheering the entire game. – Robert “Colonel Bob” Wachowski ’89, ’94,York, Pa. Preparing for Game Day Looking back and trying to put my finger on the fondest memory I have, one spot on campus always comes to mind: Ralston Field and the Munson Field House. I loved it there! I loved the preparation: a Sunday ice bath to take the edge off the previous football game, the sound the TV made when you turned it on, working with coaches and teammates. Returning to the field on Tuesday for a full-contact practice, I wanted to take advantage of every snap. Game day or practice was always the same speed. I have vivid memories of the work we did and the price we paid. No Saturday ever came without six days of preparation. Graduation was great, and my mother cried, but I would not have walked across the stage if I did not get the tools to succeed from the game that I love and that has given me so much! – J.J.

I include in the list people such as Dr. Charles Reif, who many referred to as the mayor of Butler Hall. In the day that single faculty members still lived on campus, Dr. Reif and others shared Butler Hall as living quarters, Harold Cox and he earned the title of mayor when he posted a roster outlining times for bathroom use by those staying in Butler. Dr. Harold Thatcher went under the name “Harry the Hatchet” and put himself through school playing the piano at silent movies. Staff member Millie Gittens came to the school in 1941 and went on to run the bookstore for years while still finding time to work with students in their plays. These are just some of the examples of the types of people that Dr. Farley brought to Wilkes, and he expected them to do more than just teach students in a classroom, that the educational experience was more that just information in books. Dr. Farley demanded that the faculty have a loyalty to both the school and the students, and he encouraged them, the faculty, to take a personal interest in the learning and growth of the students. Presidential Reflections – Harold Cox, Ph.D., University archivist and professor emeritus – Compiled by Mark Thomas ’82 and Kim Bower-Spence Want to continue the discussion? Only five men have led this institution through all its 75 years – through depression and war and flood, as well as social and demographic changes. Here are their remembrances: Francis J. Michelini 1970-1975 My Wilkes experience started in 1955, when I joined the faculty as the third full-time member of the thengrowing biology department. Dr. Farley made it very clear that the mission of Wilkes was to bring all people together, that it was a school where the individual worth and accomplishments of the student were most important. He also expected the faculty to impact the community and do more than just teach the students directly from some textbook. I would become the first president to rise through the ranks of Wilkes, starting in 1963, when I became the dean of academic affairs, to the time that I would succeed Dr. Farley. The transition from Dr. Farley into my administration was made easier when he was appointed chancellor at Share your stories at The Colonel Connection: community.wilkes.edu.

Kirby Center School of Pharmacy launches 17 �Wilkes and took on the critical role of fund raising. Having Dr. Farley in this position allowed my administration to focus on academic and curricular program reviews.The academic administrative structure took the form of three newly created divisions: humanities, social sciences and science. New interdisciplinary initiatives were encouraged. Just as this came into place, the Agnes Flood hit in 1972, and Wilkes had to move into a survival mode.The community came together to pull off this tremendous rebuilding effort. Robert Capin 1975-1984 My primary responsibility as president was to balance the budget while rebuilding the campus after the Agnes flood of 1972. I inherited several problems that required constant attention. First, of course, was the cost of rebuilding. Dr. Michelini led the rebuilding project from 1972 to 1975. However, the college was several million dollars in debt after rebuilding. Of course, all the time we were involved in the cleanup I was still charged with putting the college back on its feet both physically and financially. Academically it was also a difficult period because of the impact of the flood and the related costs for the college, students and their families. Despite all these challenges, the quality of our academic programs remained high. COB renamed Breiseth Hall Christopher N. Breiseth 1984-2001 I was the first outsider to become president since Dr. Farley himself. We made a serious commitment to community service during my time at Wilkes. I was active in a group called Campus Compact, involving college presidents to guide students into community service both locally and nationally. Wilkes students were soon not only helping others in the Wyoming Valley but also using spring vacations to help with hurricane relief efforts in Florida and elsewhere. I was impressed and proud of the dedication of Wilkes faculty. Physically, the campus was transformed. We invested nearly $50 million to renovate the wonderful old buildings but also to build several new structures: the Marts Center, the Henry Student Building and Breiseth Hall. We also renovated and expanded facilities at Ralston Field. The Fenner Quadrangle created a campus environment, including the statue of John Wilkes, which is one of my most pleasurable contributions. In addition, the endowment increased from about $2 million to $25 million. – Compiled by Mark Thomas ’82 Jay S.

In 1996, the University launched its School of Pharmacy with a vision for what it could mean for the region and for Wilkes. A decade has passed since we graduated the first group of pharmacists in 2000, and we are marking the program’s 10th anniversary. The pharmacy program has been a resounding success, surpassing expectations for enrollment.The quality of students competing for the 70 seats in each year’s entering class remains high. Over 95 percent of our doctor of pharmacy graduates pass the pharmacy boards— the exams required to become registered pharmacists—on the first try. Our pass rate on these exams is higher than the state and national averages. Our pharmacy graduates uniformly receive multiple job offers at good salaries. Seeing this success makes it easy to forget that many concerns were voiced about whether there was a need for another pharmacy school when we launched our program.We proceeded Daniel Breznak takes the pharmacist’s oath as with plans at that time because the only part of the annual white coat ceremony for Wilkes pharmacy students.

TOUEY leaders believed that starting a school of pharmacy would be a service to northeast Pennsylvania residents, a boon to the region’s economy and an asset to Wilkes University.We were right. Fast forward to 2009 and the recent decision to proceed with plans for a law school. Once again, we are in position to establish a professional school in northeast Pennsylvania where none currently exists. Our market research tells us that interest in a law degree, the juris doctor, is high. Founding a law school at Wilkes is still another important step to revitalize the region, make Wilkes-Barre a major college town, and increase the competitiveness and diversity of the region’s economy. And we fully believe this will be another significant step toward making Wilkes University a premier university in the Mid-Atlantic region.

His story comes to Wilkes University when Wiesel—now a Nobel Laureate—is the guest speaker for the annual Outstanding Leaders Forum on Nov. 17. Night has been translated into more than 30 languages and has sold millions of copies since its original publication in 1956. It is required reading for many of today’s high school and college students. High school students in northeast Pennsylvania will have a special opportunity in conjunction with Wiesel’s visit to Wilkes. He will interact in a question-and-answer session with about 120 students from area high schools who will participate in a Leadership Day sponsored by the Sidhu School of Business and Leadership. The program, now in its third year, brings students from about 10 high schools in the region for a day of leadership training. In order to allow as many students and community members as possible to hear Wiesel speak, tickets to the public lecture on Nov. 17 are $10. The lecture is at 8 p.m. in the F.M.

The board’s action clears the way for the administration to develop a business plan to secure the necessary financial resources, identify a suitable building for the new school and seek final board approval. The proposal was approved contingent on the University being able to raise the necessary funds without taxing the university’s other schools, programs or priorities. Tim Gilmour, Wilkes president, said he hopes to seat the inaugural class of 60 fulltime students and 25 part-time students in 2011. “Creating a law school for northeastern Pennsylvania is a once-in-alifetime opportunity that will have a significant impact on Wilkes University and the surrounding communities by increasing graduate-level educational opportunities, creating jobs, and speeding the region’s economic recovery,” says Gilmour. The new law school curriculum will incorporate Wilkes’ emphasis on building close relationships between students and mentors. It will also stimulate the region’s economy by creating new jobs and bringing hundreds of students to downtown WilkesBarre and will supply talented lawyers to lead the region’s law firms, businesses and government entities. Initial work on the project began in 2004 with discussions that led to the formation of a preliminary feasibility committee. In May 2008, Loren D. Prescott Jr. was appointed dean of the Wilkes Law School Planning Initiative (proposed). For more information about the law school initiative, contact Prescott at law@wilkes.edu or visit www.law.wilkes.edu.

Built in 1917, it was the home of Frederick Merrill Chase and his family. Chase came to Wilkes-Barre at the age of 14 and worked his way up the coal industry ladder. Four years after construction The staircase of Chase Hall, where ghostly footsteps can be heard. was completed on his mansion, he died.A decade passed before the building was given to Wilkes, then Bucknell University Junior College, by the brother of Mrs. Chase. There is evidence that Mr. Chase may still be “living” in his old home. Al Espada, a former Wilkes admissions counselor, would work in the building late at night after coming back from college fairs in New Jersey. One night around 11 p.m., he was playing a CD while he worked when it suddenly stopped playing. He heard three distinct steps coming towards his office doorway. No one was there. “I was prepared to work for another hour, but the incident made me quit for the night,” says Espada. The Cold Room Sturdevant Hall has been used for many functions since it was acquired by Wilkes in 1951. These include serving as a women’s dorm, the registrar’s office, the office of residence life, the education department and several other uses. Through all of its incarnations, there’s been one permanent resident: a ghost. Back in 1969, girls living in Sturdevant were convinced that their residence was possessed. Often, they would wake to the rapping of a fist on their door, only to discover that there was no one there. It was that kind of activity that led them to run the ad in The Beacon for a “ghost exterminator.” Sturdevant, now a co-ed residence hall, continues to be plagued by the elusive apparition. Elizabeth Roveda ’05, MBA’07, director of residence life, says a resident assistant was in the building alone when locked doors started to open. Public safety officers were summoned and conducted hourly checks. WILKES | Fall 2009 HE CLASSIFIED AD IN THE VALENTINE’S DAY edition of The Beacon read: “WANTED: One ghost exterminator. References necessary. Contact Pat Hill or Bonnie Gellas at Sturdevant Hall.” The year was 1969—and Wilkes co-eds claimed that a ghost walked in the residence hall. In March of that year, ghostly happenings were so much the talk of campus that The Beacon ran an editorial about the ghost stories, stating, “…students on this campus take these stories seriously—if not the tales behind them, at least the fact that there are strange unexplainable goings-on. Some talk of starting ghosthunting parties, or holding séances or going back to the good ol’ Ouija board.Whether they are serious or not, even the skeptical agree that the tales add a bit of flavor and mystery to the old buildings on campus.” University archives, back issues of The Beacon, and conversations with members of theWilkes community all show that ghost stories and haunted happenings have been part of campus lore throughout its history. It’s part of the collective memory of generations of alumni. Today, students, faculty and staff still relish stories about unexplained events in the stately mansions used for classrooms, offices and residence halls. Most buildings on campus have a story to tell. According to William Lewis Jr. ’80, a vice president at Merrill Lynch Global Wealth Management and guide for the Luzerne County Historical Society annual ghost tours, it’s no surprise that such tales abound at Wilkes and in the surrounding community. “Why did so many frightening things happen here? Well, if you walked around any city in the world that had dwellers like the Native Americans, who lived in the area for thousands of years, as well as a modern settlement dating back well over 200 years you would be sure to find all kinds of amazing stories,” says Lewis. The histories of the University’s oldest buildings blend with ghostly tales, yielding stories that have become legends with the passing of time. 9 �After that event, Michele Sabol-Jones, a Wilkes public safety officer, remembers hearing that other officers found vacuum cleaners—previously stored away—returned to rooms. And, in a hall without air conditioning, one room was freezing cold during the dog days of summer. Dealing a Dead Man’s Hand Kirby Hall sits on the “number one” plot of Wilkes-Barre’s original town plan. Stephen Leonard Thurlow, a coal baron, purchased the lot in 1872, and commissioned Frederick Clarke Withers to design what is now known as Kirby Hall. The building changed hands twice before Fred Morgan Kirby acquired it in 1905. However, along the way the house seems to have picked up an unwanted caretaker. NO ONE WAS EVER FOUND, According to a 1981 edition of Wilkes College Quarterly, around the turn of the century, nor did anyone while the home was owned by Reuben Jay Flick, a colorful leave the locked character named Poker Pan was allegedly killed in the house building-except during a gambling dispute. The murder occurred in what was for the guards, then the music room. Poker Pan may not have taken kindly to having his card game Ill suddenly interrupted. Often people hear footsteps for a long on the stairs. Sabol-Jones says that public safety officers have time ... claimed they feel a presence on the third floor. Some even claim to feel a hand on their backs. According to The Beacon archives, people have reported seeing a strange mist by the windows. One report talks about a professor doing late-night research on the second floor. As he exited the building, he saw a white mist in front of him. As he approached it, the mist retreated up the stairs. who REFUSED TO GO BACK Ghostly Laughter Conyngham Center was built in 1897 by William Hillard Conyngham. He hoped that this home would serve his family for many years. To cement that hope, Conyngham had family photographs placed in the building’s cornerstone. Today, the Conynghams’ presence may extend beyond those photographs. Lewis has heard of some interesting activity taking place there. “Several years ago, security guards had locked the building up for the night only to hear the sound of a young woman’s laugh echoing near the elevator on the side of the building. One guard headed upstairs and one headed to the basement to find the woman. No one was ever found, nor did anyone leave the locked building—except for the guards, who refused to go back in for a long time,” says Lewis. WILKES | Fall 2009 The Lady in Red 10 Weckesser Hall is one of Wilkes’ most iconic buildings, and one of the most storied when it comes to ghosts. The home was built by Frederick J. Weckesser, a hardworking business man and former director of the F.W.Woolworth Company, between 1914 and 1916.The home still features a working elevator, surround shower, giant chandelier and indoor rain gutters. The home may also feature some of its original owners. Lewis says,“People claim to see a shadow descending the stairs The parlor of Kirby Hall, where a poker game turned deadly. �The “speakeasy” in the basement of Waller Hall dates back to the original owner. The Girl on the Third Floor Doane Hall was Wilkes University’s only residence hall where quiet hours were observed 24/7. But one former resident broke the rules at the South River Street mansion, as sounds from another world could be heard coming from the third floor. Residents have often complained about the strange occurrences in Doane, but they always know who to blame: the girl on the third floor. Campus legend says that a girl hanged herself there decades before Wilkes acquired the building in 1973. What adds to the mystery and fuels the stories is the single white, steel door with no knob that blocks people from using the staircase to the third floor. The Ghosts of Prohibition? Waller Hall was originally built as the home of Julius Long Stern in 1925. The home is known for being one of the most elaborate residence halls that Wilkes owns. Waller is also one of the strangest. The building is divided into two sides—north and south. Wilkes even acquired the building in two parts. An unusual feature of Waller is the mysterious passageways on the second floor. If students wanted, they could circle the entire floor without ever stepping into a hallway. The second strange feature is the bar—or speakeasy—in the basement. The presence of the speakeasy has become a popular piece of Wilkes lore. It’s a place few have seen, adding to its mystique. Any self-respecting ghost would certainly want to gather there. During prohibition, prominent members of the Wilkes-Barre community could relax in the spacious downstairs bar, sit near a brick fireplace, and order libations from the bartender. Perhaps some of these partygoers have stayed around waiting for their next drink. Andrew Seaman is a Wilkes University senior and served as editor of The Beacon in spring 2009.

Maybe it’s Mr. Weckesser’s spirit. He was known for his hard work habits: Perhaps he is returning to finish his evening work. Or perhaps it is Dr. Eugene Farley, the founding president of Wilkes.” Another tale involves a University staff member. As she was setting up for an early morning meeting, she noticed an older woman in a red dress standing on the stairs. The staff member smiled and went about her business, but when she went back to check on the woman, she had disappeared. As the staff member turned to resume her duties, she noticed a picture of a woman hanging in the entranceway. The picture looked exactly like the woman she had seen on the stairs, and under it was a small plaque with Mrs. Weckesser’s name engraved on it. The staff member reportedly tendered her resignation later that day. 11 �MIXING ALUMNUS’ VOLUNTEERISM TRANSFORMS THE LIVES OF DIABETIC YOUNGSTERS By Helen Kaiser Michael S.

Above: Dr. Michael Anger ’77, center, works his medical magic to bring smiles to the faces of children at an American Diabetes Association camp. ' We were honored to recognize someone who is a LEADER in his own profession and who truly embraces FAMILY VALUES. – Suehila Glass, executive director of ADA’s Denver office '' Suehila Glass, executive director of ADA’s Denver office, said Anger was a natural choice for Father of the Year because of his personal and professional connections with diabetes, his belief in the ADA’s mission and his passionate interest in helping patients. “We were honored to recognize someone who is a leader in his own profession and who truly embraces family values. Because he has given of his personal time, finances and expertise, we have been able to fund research and continue programs for persons with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes,” Glass says. Board certified in nephrology—a specialty related to kidney function and diseases—Anger has also served as president of the National Kidney Foundation of Colorado and president of the Colorado Society of Nephrology. He serves on the clinical faculty advisory board for the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine and has been teaching and volunteering as an attending physician at Denver Health Hospital for the past 22 years. Anger recently was honored with the university’s community service award. In the community, Anger has been president and board member of his homeowners association and president of the municipal water board. He enjoys roundtable discussions with the Mile High Magicians group to share techniques in the magic world. He would not, however, reveal how he can levitate a syringe. “It’s magic,” he says. Family time includes biking with his wife on the 100kilometer division of Tour de Cure to raise money for the ADA, playing ice hockey with his eldest son on “The Fighting Kidneys” team, and skiing. Anger fondly recalls his biology coursework at Wilkes and wonderful experiences with Professor Charles Reif and Les Turocszi: “They were both favorite professors of mine, and ones I will never forget.” WILKES | Fall 2009 A S A 12-YEAR-OLD WITH earnings from his Brooklyn, N.Y., paper route, Dr. Michael Anger ’77 was able to fund his fascinating hobby: magic tricks. On visits to the renowned Tannen’s Magic Store in Manhattan, he was captivated by the store clerks’ sleight of hand—card tricks, coin effects, disappearing silks and the like. “Soon I was making my own tricks and performing them at birthday parties,” Anger recalls. Who could predict that, as a grownup physician in Denver, Colo., he would resurrect his box of tricks to bring magic to the lives of children with diabetes? Making insulin syringes appear to float in the air—“just stuff to make kids smile”—is one of the talents Anger uses annually as a volunteer at the week long Camp Colorado, sponsored by the American Diabetes Association.Anger has been involved with the camp for the past eight years, pulling nearly round-the-clock duty over six days as senior physician to ensure the 260 participants, ages 8 to 17, are having a healthy good time. This means supervising the infirmary, dosing insulin at the dining hall and making 2:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. bed checks to ensure campers’ blood sugar levels haven’t spiked or dropped dangerously because of their physically active days and new meal regimens at the pristine Colorado mountain lake retreat. The camp, with about 75 medical and ADA-trained volunteers, blends the fun of regular summer camp with education about diabetes management tailored to each camper’s stage of development. “It’s exhausting, but it’s special,” says Anger, who was named 2009 Father of the Year by the Denver office of the ADA. He and Rachel, his wife of 26 years, have four children: Matthew, 23, a student at the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine; Eric, 21, at Northwestern University; Emily, 19, at the University of Oregon, and Max, 17, a high school senior. Max was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of four. “Naturally, this impacted the whole family,” Anger says. “Emotionally it’s very stressful, but we were lucky to be close and work through it. There’s a lot to learn about diet changes and medication, but the philosophy we used to raise our son was: ‘Don’t let diabetes control you; you control the diabetes.’” Max’s disease sparked his dad’s involvement with the ADA, which reaches out to 23.6 million Americans with diabetes.

TOUEY 14 �F EW UNIVERSITIES CAN say that a river flows past the front door of campus.Wilkes University is one of them. The proximity of the Susquehanna River has been a blessing and challenge over the years. For generations of alumni, the River Common—the lovely greenway fronting the river—provided a respite from the classroom. At other times, flooding—most notably following Hurricane Agnes in 1972—was the curse of having a campus bordering a river. A new system of levees completed in 2003 has reduced flooding issues. Now the River Common project, completed in June of this year, tops the flood wall and provides a new riverfront park facing the Wilkes Campus. Two portals in the flood wall along River Street—with the southernmost located near the Wilkes campus—invite visitors to access the riverfront. Looking northeast from the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center, the new River Common provides opportunities for walking, cycling, boating and fishing along the river. An amphitheatre for open-air concerts, a boat launch and other amenities bring the promise of new recreational opportunities for Wilkes students and alumni.

Schrock, an adjunct professor in Wilkes University’s master’s degree program in instructional media, likens it to an ancient artifact WILKES | Fall 2009 with little relevance for today’s digital learners. 16 “We need to be using technology to allow students to do alternative assignments,” says Schrock, a nationally recognized expert on technology and education who has authored six books and presented more than 100 workshops on the subject. “We need to be asking them, ‘Do you want to do a video about that, or a comic strip, or a Flash video presentation?’ They still have to demonstrate that they know the material. Changing how they do it is the big step.” Offering students alternatives for completing assignments is just one aspect of the 21st century classroom, a place that actively engages students by using technology—from interactive whiteboards to digital cameras—as tools to teach and inspire. The 21st century classroom will find some students making a video instead of writing a term paper. Virtual field trips will take them to an art museum on the other side of the world. And if their high school doesn’t offer a particular advanced placement class? No worries: They can take the class online. Computers have been in schools for more than two decades. But it takes more than equipment to transform schools for the future. Michael Speziale MS ’78, dean of Wilkes University’s College of Graduate and Professional Studies, says more is required. “Computers have had little, if any, effect on transforming our classrooms because they haven’t been used effectively,” Speziale says. Classrooms of the 21st century, he explains, must reflect the way members of the millennial generation—those born between 1982 and 2000—think. “They multitask, they collaborate, they live, breathe and work in social networks. And there is a whole body of research that addresses how these students learn and how to reach them,” he states. “Then they come to school, and we ask them to park the technology at the door.” The way to teach them, he explains, is to use a variety of media that engage them in learning collaboratively. The key to transforming schools is transforming teaching methods to incorporate the wide variety of digital and online tools available. Helping educators learn how to do that is the focus of several Wilkes University master’s degree programs in teacher education. One of those programs— 21st Century Teaching and Learning— starts by helping teachers understand why change is necessary. “We tell them that they’re not doing something wrong: The students have changed,” says Kathleen Makuch, program coordinator and a former school superintendent. Their students, �Left: A computer is always close at hand for Pamela Oliveira, a teacher in the Wyoming Valley West Middle School in Kingston, Pa., and a student in Wilkes’ master’s degree program in instructional media.

PHOTO COURTESY JIM KOTZ Once they do, many become advocates. He cites one veteran science teacher who “jumped right in” and made lessons interactive. For example, students in his classroom study anatomy by placing organs in a digital human body. The assignment to create a model of the solar system still has a place in the digital universe. Using simulated modeling, students can build the solar system, set the planets in motion and watch them orbit the sun. Barbara Moran ’84 MS’88 and Victoria Glod MS’91, program coordinators for Wilkes’ classroom technology and instructional technology graduate programs, can identify dozens of such resources. Technology can be especially helpful in teaching challenging concepts. “Sometimes the concept of slope can be difficult for students to understand,” Glod explains. “If they take digital pictures of roofs with various pitch and then use Google SketchUp to outline the height and width of the roof line, they can calculate the slope of the roof.” And for those who fear that technology is making education more impersonal—Moran disagrees. “It’s getting more personal,” she states. “Students can be online with their peers from New York to California and collaborate with them on a project. Twitter, Facebook, Web cams—here are endless options for being connected.” LEARN MORE ON THE WEB Learn more about online learning tools and the classroom of the 21st century: • http://course.wilkes.edu/web20 • http://school.discoveryeducation .com/schrockguides • www.kathyschrock.net • www.iste.org WILKES | Fall 2009 she explains, are “digital natives”—a term coined by e-learning guru Marc Prensky to describe youngsters who have never known a world without the Internet and cell phones. Teachers are “digital immigrants” who have had to learn the equivalent of a second language. Gone are the days of lecturing by the teacher. For digital natives, Makuch explains, “project-based learning” is the key. “Teachers are the facilitators of learning. They set up projects and the students do the learning.” The need for change drew Pamela Oliveira, a teacher at the Wyoming Valley West Middle School, to enroll in Wilkes’ instructional media program. “Chalk boards and worksheets aren’t preparing our students for the world in which they will perform,” Oliveira says. Jim Kotz ’90 MS’92, focuses on helping teachers master the tools in his role as technology coach for the Lackawanna Trail School District in Factoryville, Pa. “Newer teachers have been using the technology all along.

During national competition, SIFE teams presented 24-minute multimedia summaries of the educational outreach project they developed and implemented throughout the year.They were judged by a panel of 14 of the nation’s top business and community leaders on how well they created economic opportunity by helping others. During the 2009-2010 academic year, SIFE students at Wilkes completed 12 educational projects in the areas of market economics, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, success skills, environmental sustainability and business ethics. “The atmosphere of the SIFE National Exposition is truly inspirational,” says team captain Katherine Gallagher, a junior accounting major from Jessup, Pa. “Our team is already developing new projects for next year to strengthen our community.” Team advisor Jeffrey R. Alves was named a Sam M.Walton Free Enterprise Fellow for the 14th consecutive year in recognition of his leadership and support of the Wilkes SIFE program. The Wilkes SIFE team was named regional champion at the New York City SIFE Regional Competition held on March 26. Wilkes Professor Helps Area High School Students Take Written Work From “Page to Stage” Students in four northeast Pennsylvania school districts became playwrights in a pilot program sponsored by Wilkes University. Bonnie Culver, director of Wilkes’ graduate creative writing program, worked with classes in four high schools—Hanover Area, Hazleton, Tunkhannock and Wyoming Valley West—to teach basic elements of playwriting to take ideas from “Page to Stage.” Four teachers worked with Culver, leading 45 students who produced 24 plays. At the end of eight weeks, students presented formal staged readings of their newly developed scripts. A reading of one school’s plays was presented at Wilkes-Barre’s Fine Arts Fiesta in May. Wilkes plans to expand the program to include poetry in fall 2010.

PHOTO COURTESY OF STUDENTS IN FREE ENTERPRISE A record number of Wilkes pharmacy graduates are pursuing residency training. Since the first graduating class of doctor of pharmacy students in 2000, between 10 and 15 percent of graduates have pursued post-graduate training. Last year, a record 20 percent pursued residency training, and this year 25 percent of the 2010 class were awarded this privilege. According to Edward Foote, chair of the Department of Pharmacy Practice, “Our graduates keep demonstrating their desire to grow.” Only a select number of graduates are awarded residencies or post-graduate positions, adding to the honor and value of the opportunity. Some of the one-year residency locations for Wilkes pharmacy graduates include the State University of New York, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Orlando Regional Health and VA San Diego Healthcare System.

Klemow,Wilkes professor of biology, has received the Ecological Society of America’s 2010 Eugene P. Odum Award for Excellence in Ecology Education.The award recognizes Klemow as one of the top ecology educators in the United States. It is presented to an ecologist for outstanding work in education that has furthered ecological science through teaching, outreach and student mentoring. Klemow was nominated for the award by Rachel Curtis ’10 of Waymart, Pa., who graduated from Wilkes in May. In her nomination letter, Curtis stated,“My first class with Dr. Klemow was second semester general biology at Wilkes, and it was because of his teaching skills that I began to truly enjoy studying biology. Not only is Dr. Klemow extremely knowledgeable in a wide array of subjects, but he also is able to instill his excitement for the material into his classes.” Curtis said she switched her major from biochemistry to biology because of Klemow’s enthusiasm for his subject and the opportunity to do hands-on projects with him. It also led to her spending the 2009-2010 year in Costa Rica researching poison frogs and medical practices at Duke University’s Organization for Tropical Studies. Klemow founded the Ecological Society’s education section, serving as its first chair in 1988. He has also taken a leadership role in projects aimed at helping undergraduate faculty nationwide use new technologies to improve their courses. However, it is Klemow’s role in educating students of all ages about ecological issues that earned him the honor. At Wilkes, he helped launch the science careers of hundreds of students teaching such courses as general ecology, field botany, medical botany and alternative energy, and has mentored one-on-one research projects with more than 80 students. His influence extends to elementary and secondary-level students in northeast Pennsylvania through ecological education activities at such events as Wyoming Valley Riverfest and Earth Day.

WILKES | Fall 2010 I 6 T CAME ON ROLLS, LIKE THE CARPET for a giant’s living room. For more than a week in early August, crews labored to install the synthetic turf for the athletic field at the Ralston Athletic Complex. After laying the green surface in wide strips, crews added the finishing touches: white and colored lines, followed by stenciling the numbers.You could almost hear the announcer calling the yard lines, as the numbers appeared: the 40, the 30, the 20. And finally, the yellow and gold “W” logo was placed at the center of it all. Welcome to a new era in Wilkes athletics. Renovations began at the athletic complex in May.The synthetic turf is part of a $1.6 million project that includes a field lighting system, new goal posts, a scoreboard and fencing around the perimeter of the field. It transforms the field from a single-sport site to one that will accommodate five intercollegiate sports— football, women’s lacrosse, women’s field hockey and men’s and women’s soccer—and the men’s club lacrosse team.The field also will be used for intramural games and for youth athletic camps offered to the community. Paul Adams,Wilkes vice president for student affairs, says that the project reflects both the University’s commitment to its athletics programs and the proud history of Wilkes athletics, from the championship teams of the Golden Horde to the present-day Colonels. “The work at the Ralston Athletic Complex will provide a multi-purpose athletic field for more than 200 of our student-athletes,” says Adams. Alumnus Bill Hanbury ’72, who played offensive guard from 1968 to 1971 for the Colonels, says the renovations unite past and future generations bound by the tradition of sports. “On game day, Ralston Field was for me a special place…almost a holy �athletics DID YOU KNOW… • The Wilkes turf is a “green” material in more ways than one: Recycled rubber— primarily ground, used tires, is a component of the turf. • It takes a crew of six to eight people 10 to 15 days to install the turf. • The field weighs approximately nine pounds per square foot so the total weight of the field at Wilkes will be approximately 860,000 pounds. • Five colors are being used as accents on the new field in the logo, yard lines and goal lines. Navy and gold are the Wilkes colors. Football is symbolized in white. Orange pays tribute to Wilkes’ origins as Bucknell University Junior College. A lighter shade of blue also is being used in tribute to Dean George Ralston, who was a graduate of North Carolina. • The world’s first turf field was installed in 1966. The first “infill” type turf fields, like the one at Wilkes, were installed in 1997. • The turf is made up of fibers that are 2.5 inches long tufted through a semi-rigid backing. The fibers are tufted in rows that are 3/4 inches apart. The turf is then top Top: A worker uses clippers to cut out green turf so that a colored line can be installed.

It also helps pull out wrinkles. dressed with a combination of silica sand and recycled crumb rubber. This fills in the voids between the fibers and causes them to stand up straight. This “infill” also acts as cushioning for the athletes. THE NEW VIEW FROM THE HILL Wilkes invites all football alumni to cheer on the Colonels at the first home game on Ralston Athletic Complex’s new turf field on Saturday, Sept. 11. Alumni will meet at 11 a.m. at the tent next to Munson Fieldhouse to enjoy lunch, receive a commemorative gift and participate in a pre-game celebration. Tickets to this special event are $10 and guests are welcome. To register or learn more, contact the Office of Alumni Relations at (570) 408-7787 or alumni@wilkes.edu. Members of the community also are invited to join the University in celebrating the new era for Wilkes athletics by attending the game on this special day. Admission will be free.

I’m so glad the next generation of Wilkes athletes will have an opportunity to perform at this outstanding new facility.” Wilkes athletics director Adelene Malatesta says other athletics projects are happening in addition to the field renovations. Resurfacing and painting new logos on the Henry Gymnasium floor, resurfacing tennis courts, and work on the softball field were among recent projects. Upgrades at Artillery Park are planned. “The work benefits 350 student athletes in 16 varsity programs,” Malatesta says. Intramurals add another 450 to that number. The enhancements to athletics facilities grew out of a strategic plan for athletics completed in 2002. Other developments that have occurred, such as the appointment of a full-time athletic director, the return of men’s and women’s cross country and the construction of the $1 million recreation center in the University Center on Main, also were outlined in that plan. All of the work reflects a commitment to athletics that is very much a part of the Wilkes tradition. “To offer a broad-based program in athletics has always been our goal at Wilkes,” Malatesta says. 7 �WILKES CONTINUES TRADITION OF HELPING FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS SUCCEED IN HIGHER EDUCATION By Helen Kaiser 1oneer1ng WILKES | Fall 2010 • 8 • �They are family trailblazers— fueled by hope for a better life.

She said she has recently noticed college conferences offering seminars on how to prepare for the population of first-generation students—but this is something that Wilkes has been doing for decades (see accompanying alumni profiles). “Our admissions counseling staff treats every family individually,” Mickelson said. “Some who have been to college will know how to navigate the process, but for others there can be an element of being afraid to ask and not wanting to be humiliated. Our policy is to walk all of our families through the process.” Wilkes usually enrolls about 530 freshmen each year, mostly from Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. Above: Melanie Mickelson ’93, Wilkes vice president for enrollment services, was a first-generation student. WILKES | Fall 2010 Most importantly, they listened—when counselors, parents and their own inner voice told them, “You can do it!” They are first-generation college students, from homes where neither parent had earned a bachelor’s degree.

His academic record plus his skills as a wide receiver and defensive back helped him to gain admission to Wilkes. “I’m very, very excited,” he says, citing the connections he had already made this past spring and summer with coaches and his admissions counselor. He also says he would never forget his high school guidance counselor who helped him so much she was like “a second mom” to him. Before he made the four-hour trip to Wilkes this fall, Jones says he wasn’t nervous about going away to school to major in criminal justice, even though he wouldn’t know any other students at first. It was time to move forward, he says, and he was set for the task: “You will be on your own. There are no guidance counselors there to baby you. If you miss something in class you’ll have to go and get it.” – William Jones DAVID LEWIS ’10: “A JACKET OF COMFORT” ' WILLIAM JONES: TIME TO MOVE FORWARD WILKES | Fall 2010 William Jones, 18, of Asbury Park, N.J., was thrilled to enter Wilkes in August as a first-generation freshman. The youngest of five, Jones says his family pushed him toward college. “They beat it into my head early that ‘knowledge is power.’ I saw what they meant as I got older,” he says. He applied himself in his high school physics, chemistry and foreign language 10 David Lewis ’10 of Wilkes-Barre, reflected on his first-generation degree from Wilkes in English and education: “I hadn’t even applied for admission until April or May of my senior year of high school. Before that, I’d had some discussions with a military recruiter, and I would hear about all of my friends going to places like Penn State; but I really didn’t have a fire under me about college. First-generation student David Lewis ’10, left, received guidance in choosing a major from Karen Riley, right, assistant director of University College and the Act 101 program. PHOTO BY MICHAEL TOUEY “It was my mom who said,‘Why don’t you look into King’s or Wilkes?’ I was afraid they’d be too expensive but thought I would give it a shot.Then there was my dad who was a constant reminder for me. He would come home from his job as a machinist at a factory with bumps and bruises, sweaty, sometimes bloody, or with a sore back. “This was a symbol for me, to go and find a job where I would use my brain,” Lewis says. “At first it was daunting that many of my high school classmates had taken advanced placement classes when I hadn’t.They got a head start,” he says. Once he stepped on Wilkes’ campus, however, “It was like a jacket of comfort around me. I. . .met the right people and got perfect guidance.” His advisor, Karen Riley, helped him figure out what was necessary to be a successful college student and what major to select. “She made me go to (advisors in) five other departments to learn about those fields—business, computer science and others.

I had a job. I had baseball, crew, clubs that I joined and other campus activities. ‘When do I get to study?’ I thought, so I dropped out of some things.” One activity that he kept was his role as one of Wilkes’ Colonel mascots. He believes it is important for firstgeneration students to persevere. “Every time you think you have it bad, just remember there is someone out there who has it worse,” he says.

Andrea Frantz for taking her under her wing.“She kept telling me I had a great ability to write, worked to get me involved with The Beacon and taught me to think critically by challenging me.” Her biggest challenge today is persuading Americans to eat more turkey. Currently, it’s fourth in the pecking order, behind chicken, beef and pork consumption. Previously, she hadn’t cooked any turkey beyond turkey bacon and turkey hot dogs, but she’s really into it now.“I’m making and eating more turkey than ever.Whether speaking to consumers or chefs, I need to know what I’m talking about.” She rattles off dozens of ways to prepare turkey faster than you can make a turkey sandwich. She has helped develop the turkey federation’s new “Upgrade It!” with turkey campaign, which starts by showing consumers the calories and fat they can cut by substituting turkey for other meats. Richards observes, “Switching from roast beef to skinless, roast turkey breast saves 276 calories per serving.” Promoted three times in three years, Richards oversees consumer and food service media campaigns. She spreads the word about turkey on Facebook and YouTube and tweets, too. She and other staffers field wide-ranging turkey preparation questions, including crazy ones like whether or not the birds can be defrosted in dishwashers or toilet bowls. Nothing ruffles her feathers, whether it’s another crazy turkey question, a turkey joke, being called a turkey or having friends joke that going to dinner at her house means eating more turkey. “I don’t mind,” says Richards.“Those turkeys are paying my bills.” MORE ON THE WEB Check out Adrienne Richards ’07’s favorite turkey recipes for Easy Meatball Stroganoff and Easy Salsa Meatloaf.

WILKES | Fall 2010 M OST FIRST-CLASS AIRLINE passengers would be unhappy to sit next to a real turkey on their flights. But Adrienne Richards ’07 was thrilled to fly first-class from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles with Courage and Carolina, two broad-breasted, celebrity turkeys who also were her tickets to the White House. In fact, she views accompanying the nation’s top turkeys for an official Thanksgiving pardon from President Obama as the most exciting moment of her career as public relations manager for the National Turkey Federation in Washington, DC. When Obama was delivering his pardon, which guaranteed the two turkeys worry-free Thanksgivings for the rest of their lives, Richards was standing in front of his podium. After the ceremony, a police-escorted motorcade whisked the birds, Richards and other turkey federation officials to Dulles Airport, where they boarded “Turkey One” for Los Angeles.After all, the very important turkeys (VITs) had to catch their flight so they could be grand marshals of Disneyland’s Thanksgiving Day parade.After their wild flutter of official duties, they checked in at Disney’s Frontierland for the rest of their days. “Courage and Carolina posed for photos with other passengers onboard our United Airlines flight and then rested quietly after uttering only a few gobbles upon take-off.They really were good fliers,” says Richards of her traveling companions whose kennels each filled two first-class seats. Richards never anticipated talking turkey or a career in public relations. “I wanted to be a war correspondent in Iraq…to be in the line of fire like ABC’s Martha Raddatz,” she says. But spending the fall semester of her senior year as Wilkes’ first student to participate in American University’s Washington Semester changed her original career plans. On her first day as a fledgling ABC news intern, she was dispatched to cover one of then-Sen. Hillary Clinton’s press conferences. “I was in awe. It was pretty amazing. That’s when I realized I didn’t want to start my career at some little station. I wanted to be in Washington. I loved its feel and excitement,” Richards says. Her job search landed her at the National Turkey Federation, a nonprofit organization funded by turkey growers and processors all over the country. She credits the Wilkes communication studies faculty with providing hands-on experiences and the training she needed to build a strong portfolio. But she also praises former faculty member 15 �ARCHITECTURAL TREASURES FROM MANY ERAS HIGHLIGHT WILKES CAMPUS T HERE’S SOMETHING FAMILIAR ABOUT that beautiful cornice on a building, up there near the roofline.You’ve seen that ornate door handle a hundred times, your hand caressing its beauty as you enter the front door.

WILKES | Fall 2010 PHOTOS BY EARL AND SEDOR PHOTOGRAPHIC 17 �Madame Mayor RUTH UY ASMUNDSON MS ’68 RETIRES AS THE FIRST FILIPINA MAYOR OF A U.S. CITY By Rachel Strayer WILKES | Fall 2010 R 18 UTH UY ASMUNDSON MS ’68 WAS balancing a glass of wine on her head when she first saw the man who would change her life. Asmundson, then a doctoral student, was performing a traditional Filipino wine dance for an international student club dinner and Vigfus A. Asmundson, the newly elected mayor of Davis, Calif., was in attendance. “(The mayor) was so enchanted with my dance that he asked me for a date afterwards,” recalls Asmundson. Three dates later, she accepted his marriage proposal and took an unexpected step toward a career in politics. In July, she celebrated her retirement from a role she never imagined she would play: the first Filipina immigrant to be elected mayor of a U.S. city. Asmundson was born in a remote barrio in the northern Philippines at the end of World War II. The fourth of eight children, she excelled in school, despite being told that “girls didn’t need to get an education.” She studied chemistry on a scholarship to Adamson University in Manila and was offered a teaching job there after graduation. “One of my colleagues suggested that I apply for a California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger receives an update from Davis, Calif., Mayor Ruth Asmundson. Fulbright Scholarship…I never PHOTO BY FRED GLADDIS/DAVIS ENTERPRISE FILE PHOTO thought I would qualify,” Asmundson remembers.“She told me one lesson that has defined my life. She said,‘Ruth, nothing ventured, nothing gained.’ ” Asmundson received the Fulbright, choosing Wilkes because she wanted a school in a smaller city and “Wilkes-Barre was such an interesting name.” She arrived in 1966. Warmer weather and destiny called her to the University of California at Davis two years later. Asmundson was pursuing her doctorate in agricultural chemistry when she met her future husband. Asmundson intended to teach at the university but delayed her professional career to raise a family. She served on the Davis School Board for 10 years, retiring to care for her husband who was suffering from Parkinson’s Disease. “He wanted to run again for city council, but I wouldn’t allow him due to his condition,” Asmundson recalls. “So he asked me, begged me, to run for him.” Asmundson had never entertained the idea of getting involved with city politics, but for the sake of her husband she agreed to run for the position of mayor on the Davis city council. When she won, it was the start of a new love affair. “I fell in love with city politics,” she says. She served for four years and promptly ran again. When she was re-elected, she became one of only three people in the city’s history to serve two terms as mayor. The Asmundsons were the first husband-wife mayors in city history. Vigfus Asmundson died in 2003.While his work was finished, Asmundson’s had just begun.As mayor, much of her job involved “solving problems to make life better…working together with the community to find solutions.” In eight years in office, Asmundson spearheaded initiatives that brought more affordable housing to the city and generated more tax revenue through economic development. Two projects stand out as particular points of pride. The first was a push for alternative transportation by providing bicycle lanes, paths and tunnels. Davis is now the home of the California—soon to be National—Bicycle Museum.The Bicycle Hall of Fame was relocated to Davis from New Jersey. Secondly, Asmundson added four more sister cities to Davis’ sister city relations, bringing the total to eight. Asmundson advocates furthering education and giving back. She has established scholarships and a foundation at Adamson University in Manila. She returned to her barrio to mobilize the village to plant 1,000 trees and established a library there with her late husband. After retirement,Asmundson will focus on her personal life. She plans to spend quality time with her children—four daughters plus two nephews that she raised as her own—and grandchildren. She also hopes to travel with her 90-year-old mother. “I need to step aside and let the next generation take over,” she says. “I’ve done my part and I’m happy and proud of my accomplishments. I have enjoyed serving the community and I’m grateful for the opportunity to experience that kind of leadership.” �Ruth Uy Asmundson, Davis, Calif.

Its façade was graced with a large concrete medallion of the Wilkes College seal. For more than 30 years,Wilkes students congregated there for fitness and fun. When the gymnasium made way for the Arnaud C. Marts Sports and Conference Center in 1989, the medallion was taken to the Ralston Athletic Complex. It remained there until recent renovations at the football field unearthed it, perfectly intact, under the stands. It has been relocated to a spot on South Franklin Street between the Eugene S.

It became clear that—for the second time in Wilkes history—the river was rising to truly dangerous levels. The damage caused by flooding after Hurricane Agnes, nearly 40 years ago, remains a painful memory for many. It looked to both of us that we would be evacuating the University. As I’m sure many of you know, history did not repeat itself. The levee system did its job. Although the Susquehanna crested at a record 42.66 feet, the levees held. Wilkes and the City of Wilkes-Barre were spared. Others in the valley were not as fortunate. While the two events, separated by four decades, had different outcomes for Wilkes, both brought out the best in our University community. How we respond at such times is the very definition of what it means to “Be Colonel.”In 1972, the campus community under President Mike Michelini rallied, cleaning and rebuilding campus in time to begin the fall 1972 academic year and graduate the class of 1973. Witnessing flood damage in communities near Wilkes this fall gave me new appreciation for what Mike and his team accomplished. Wilkes President Tim Gilmour and As we faced the 2011 flood, I realized how truly Paul Adams ’77, vice president, student affairs, pitch in during flood special Wilkes is and how remarkable the people are relief efforts in Wilkes-Barre. in our University family. Everyone worked together PHOTO BY EARL AND SEDOR PHOTOGRAPHIC as we prepared for possible flooding. Our facilities department, with some help from the football team, moved sophisticated scientific equipment, computers, file cabinets and other items to safety on upper floors in buildings. Most importantly, we made sure our students were safe. When we returned to campus, we focused on helping the community. A new Wilkes advertising campaign talks about an Army of Colonels. Faced with incredible need after the flood, we sent our Army of Colonels into the community to help. We ensured that all University employees could join flood relief efforts by instituting a policy granting two days of paid leave for volunteering. I joined a team cleaning up the Brookside section of Wilkes-Barre. Our students, faculty and staff have shoveled toxic river muck, carried tons of junk to the curb, served food, collected and delivered supplies, and repaired damaged library books at the West Pittston Library. You can read more about it in the story on page 14. At our annual Club Day, held days after the flooding, we took time to be thankful that Wilkes was spared from another devastating flood.

KarenBeth Bohan, an associate professor of pharmacy, visited Africa to plan a study abroad program for students in the Nesbitt College of Pharmacy and Nursing. Her goal is to offer an advanced pharmacy practice elective for fourth professional-year pharmacy students. Bohan is working with a professor at Makerere University College of Health Sciences in Uganda in developing the class. The students who take the elective also will go on a safari to study local wildlife and landscape throughout Murchison Falls National Park. “It is Wilkes’ mission to educate our students for success in a constantly evolving and multicultural world,” Bohan says. “And now more than ever it is important our students are engaged in experiences that can enhance their understanding of other cultures.” While in Africa, Bohan and James Merryman, professor of anthropology, also conducted a pilot study of the impact of clean-water wells on health, culture, and quality of life in villages of the Masindi District in Uganda. The wells are built by Busoga Trust America, a non-profit organization that provides wells and sanitation. Merryman brought Jeremy LaPorte ’11 as his graduate assistant and Bohan was accompanied by pharmacy student Joseph Shipula. Other Wilkes faculty and staff on the trip included Godlove Fonjweng, director of global education, and Evene Estwick, associate professor of communication studies.

It’s also becoming a convenient location to get a great Wilkes education. The University is expanding to the Poconos this fall with a new adult education facility in the Shoppes at Crossroads at the Bartonsville exit of Interstate 80 in Monroe County. Students at the Wilkes University Pocono Center can enter degree programs for the master of business administration, the accelerated bachelor of business administration for those wishing to complete their degree, and the master of science in engineering management. University President Tim Gilmour says, “We feel this is an ideal place to expand our offerings, based on impressive population growth and numbers of people eager to continue their education.” The 2,800-square-foot facility will house two classrooms, a conference room and office space. Wireless Internet will connect students to campus resources. On-site staff will guide students during the application and enrollment process. For more information, Wilkes-Barre visit www.wilkes.edu/ Poconos. The following were the top five majors among students in Wilkes’ Fall 2011 freshman class. Majors are listed by the number of first-year students registered for fall semester: 69 Engineering* 69 58 Biology ----- • Pharmacy Nursing - Ii\ 48 Education** 35 * includes engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and engineering management U.N. Partnership to Bring Speakers, Global Perspective The global perspectives of the United Nations come to Wilkes through a collaborative program launching during the 2011-2012 academic year. The multi-faceted program, presented in partnership with the Higher Education Alliance for the United Nations, brings U.N. officials to campus throughout the year for lectures and informal meetings with students, organized around the theme Human Security in the 21st Century: Challenges and Solutions. Selected students can intern at the U.N. and a contingent of faculty and students will attend a special behind-the-scenes briefing there. A campus conference at Wilkes during spring semester will focus on an international issue and will feature U.N. representatives as presenters. Wilkes is the only northeast Pennsylvania university participating in the program. All Wilkes first-year students participate in weekly seminars during the fall semester designed to help them develop the strategies essential for a successful transition into the campus community. Students in the First-Year Foundations classes will meet informally with the U.N. lecturers as part of these classes. The U.N. lecture series kicks off on Sept. 26 with a lecture about Elections - Road to Democracy Around the World. It will be presented by diplomat Roland Rich, Executive Head at the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF). Rich’s talk, which is free and open to the public, will be at 3 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center. Other lecture topics during the year will include the U.N.’s role in combating terrorism, peacekeeping, food security, population growth and interfaith dialogue. The Humpty Dumpty Institute, a non-profit based in New York City, launched the Higher Education Alliance (HEA) in 2010. The alliance builds bridges between higher education, the United Nations and the international community.

Wilkes University professor Jeffrey Stratford has received a grant to study its effects on some of the state’s smallest inhabitants: song birds. Stratford, an assistant professor of biology who specializes in studying birds, received a $22,852 grant from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The project—“Physical Stress in Songbirds Associated With Natural Gas Drilling”—focuses on the possible impact of drilling and contaminants from drilling. Stratford and his team of student researchers are studying songbirds in five Pennsylvania counties: Bradford, Lycoming, Potter, Susquehanna and Tioga. All are counties rich in Marcellus Shale. Gas drilling already has started in most of the sites and promises to increase. Stratford and his team collect blood samples from songbirds in the field, store the samples on ice and bring them back to the lab to test enzyme levels. Locations for gathering the blood samples are chosen from maps indicating where current drilling is happening and where future drilling may occur. Samples are taken back to the laboratory where William Biggers, associate professor of biology, works with students on the enzyme analysis. Stratford explains that birds exposed to environmental stressors and contaminants have increased levels of certain enzymes. The enzymes, Stratford says, help the body to process and rid itself of contaminants. Increased enzyme levels parallel an increase in contaminant exposure. Stratford and his team are gathering baseline data and will study changes in enzyme levels. Levels also will be compared for birds that are close to drilling sites with those at sites isolated from drilling. “This is a great opportunity to teach students the issues related to the environment as well as teaching them important biological techniques,” Stratford says. WEBS Program Doubles in Size Wilkes’ HHMI Women Empowered by Science (WEBS) camp for girls enjoyed unprecedented with laboratory techniques, visiting the world of pharmacy and cleaning success in its third year. Enrollment doubled up an oil spill. Girls also enjoy talks by women working in science over the previous year, with 60 seventh- and eighth-grade girls participating in the two-week camp. Funded by a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the camp aims to increase girls’ interest in science careers. They participate in classes taught by Wilkes faculty and are mentored by Wilkes students—many of them women enrolled in programs Wilkes | Fall 2011 in the sciences. 4 Activities include building Lego robots, solving “The Great Mascot Heist” Inset: Two WEBS participants, above, launch their Lego robot.

In 2009, former players formed a Stadium Committee to raise funds to recognize their former coach. The effort was chaired by William A. Hanbury and Anthony M. Cardinale, both members of Wilkes’ Class of 1972 and players on the Golden Horde, as the winning football team was known. “I’m sure I speak for anyone who was privileged to have had Roland Schmidt as a coach and mentor when I say he is one of the most important influences in my life,” says Cardinale, an attorney in Boston, Mass. Hanbury, president and chief executive officer of United Way of the National Capital Area, explains, “For many former players, their success in life can be directly traced back to Wilkes and Coach Schmidt. We felt it was appropriate to memorialize his extraordinary contribution to the countless men and women that he impacted.” Improvements at the Ralston Athletic Complex unveiled at the start of the 2010-2011 football season totaled $1.6 million and included artificial turf, a field lighting system, new goalposts, scoreboard, and fencing. This year, a new press box and new home bleachers were added. Wilkes’ most successful football coach, Rollie Schmidt, was recognized at the 2010 game where the stadium renovations debuted. Pictured from left are William Hanbury ’72, President Tim Gilmour, Rollie Schmidt and Anthony Cardinale ’72. The stadium is being named in Schmidt’s honor. Photo by Michael Touey Wilkes | Fall 2011 L egendary Colonels football coach Rollie Schmidt is being recognized for decades of dedication to the University and its students as Wilkes names its football stadium in his honor. The naming ceremony for Schmidt Stadium at the Ralston Athletic Complex was to occur before the homecoming football game against Widener University on Sept. 24, with Schmidt and many of his former athletic stars attending. Schmidt—the most winning coach in Wilkes’ history—was honored when he heard he had been selected for the tribute. “I never expected it, for sure,” the Dallas, Pa., resident says. “It’s wonderful to know that people thought enough of me to do this.” Schmidt coached the Colonels from 1962 to 1981 and engineered the third-longest winning streak in collegiate football history by winning 32 games in a row. For his success, he is quick to credit the hard work of the players and assistant coaches and the support of the University, his wife Marge, and his now-deceased parents who never missed a game. Schmidt’s contributions to Wilkes went beyond the gridiron. He influenced students on baseball diamonds and golf courses—as well as teaching health science and lifetime activities such as swimming, tennis, racquetball, handball and bowling. As the baseball coach, he guided the Colonels to their first Middle Atlantic Conference title in 1968. For 26 seasons Schmidt coached the golf team, leading the Colonels to 214-179-3 record and three MAC championships. The 1976 team finished 16-0 and had a 14th-place finish in NCAA Division III national championships. “I always made it a point to treat students with respect, no matter what their athletic skills were,” Schmidt says. “I had a no-cut policy. Anyone who wanted to participate in a sport could come and try. Over time, many of them applied themselves and turned out to become good players who were assets to the University.” 5 �athletics Football Stadium Named for Legendary Colonels Coach Rollie Schmidt By Helen Kaiser Schmidt was inducted into Wilkes’ Athletic Hall of Fame in 1994 and retired at the end of that year after 32 years of teaching and coaching.

Butchko said he didn’t want the ceremony to take place unless Baldino, a Wilkes political science professor, was present. “He was one of the most important people there that day,” recalls Butchko, who says a violent rainstorm slowed his long-time friend’s travel. For alumni like Butchko, relationships with faculty mentors continue after graduation. The bonds formed during undergraduate years don’t break—they strengthen. Wilkes professors become trusted career advisors, friends and professional colleagues for their former students. “There are not a couple of weeks that go by without Tom and me being in touch,” Butchko states. “He’s been invaluable to me. No one in my family went to college, so Tom filled the mentor role. I really trust his opinion on a variety of things.” By Vicki Mayk Butchko and Baldino remember their first meeting. Butchko was a sharp high school senior from Wyoming Valley West High School who visited Wilkes, King’s College and the University of Scranton to talk with heads of the political science departments before making his college decision. Meeting Baldino, then the new chair of political science at Wilkes, was the deciding factor in Butchko’s college choice. “I found his energy and attitude unique. Tom was forwardlooking, focused on the new wave in political science that includes an emphasis on quantitative analysis,” says Butchko. In the case of Baldino and Butchko, it’s no surprise that they continued a relationship started in Wilkes classrooms more than 15 years ago. After earning a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in public policy analysis from the University of Rochester, Butchko launched a career in Washington, D.C. Today he is deputy director of field operations for NeighborWorks, a non-profit organi- �zation that promotes opportunities for people to live in affordable housing. “If you’re political junkies like Tom and me, Washington is the place to be,” Butchko jokes. Over the years, he’s loved sharing anecdotes about his work with Baldino—including the one about the day that a senator named Barack Obama opened the door for Butchko on his way into the building. Such relationships are important to Baldino and other faculty. “It’s what makes it all worthwhile,” Baldino says. “I could teach anywhere, and it would be fun. The chance to get to know and influence students makes the difference.” It’s also what sets Wilkes apart, Baldino adds. “This is what differentiates the faculty at Wilkes….We care about students as people,” he states. Jen Ciannilli Smith ’01 says commitment from faculty makes a difference to students. When she transferred to Wilkes from Luzerne County Community College, the personal attention surprised her. Living away from home for the first time, Smith struggled to balance schoolwork, a job and her social life. She missed some classes—until the day she received a phone call from psychology professor Robert Bohlander. “He left me a message on my answering machine. It said, ‘This is Dr. Bohlander. You haven’t been in class. I hope everything is OK’,” recalls Smith. “I played the message back and listened to it again. It really made an impression on me. I couldn’t believe a professor at Wilkes would do that. It really meant the world to me. It turned my whole attitude around. I became motivated.” Bohlander, who has taught for 32 years, says it’s important for faculty to know when to reach out to a student. “Sometimes you encounter students who are having an issue where you need to intervene,” Bohlander says. Smith is a drug and alcohol counselor for the Choices program in Hazleton, Pa. She began her career with Community Counseling Services—an opportunity that Bohlander suggested. “He recommended my first internship at Community Counseling Opposite page: Psychology Professor Robert Bohlander and Jennifer Ciannilli Smith ’01 are now colleagues in the psychology field.

Copley ’98, MBA ’00 7 �Services and that gave me the perfect beginning. After graduation, any time a career opportunity arose, I’d contact him. He’d talk me through it,” she says. She and Bohlander exchange Christmas cards, talk on the phone and catch up over lunch about Smith’s career and about her 4-year-old daughter. Bohlander says staying in contact with alumni has benefits for his current Wilkes students. It’s a form of networking. “I contacted Jen about possible jobs for my students when she was at Community Counseling,” he says. While many close relationships between faculty and students begin in the classroom, some blossom via co-curricular activities. C.J. Copley ’98, MBA ’00 and Jeff Alves, professor of entrepreneurship and acting dean, Sidhu School of Business and Leadership, together launched the Wilkes chapter of Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE). Copley was its first president and Alves was advisor. Today Copley is executive vice president for sales and marketing for Golden Technologies, Inc., a manufacturer of mobility products, such as lift chairs and scooters, based in Old Forge, Pa. The path to an executive position wasn’t always easy, Copley acknowledges. He credits Alves with inspiring him to persevere. “Getting through my undergraduate years was a challenge. I wasn’t a straight-A student,” Copley says. “Dr. Alves inspired me. I remember our first SIFE competition. I think it was in Parsippany, N.J. We had been up practicing for hours, doing dry runs of our presentation. We took a break and went to dinner. He started sharing his own experiences in school and told me he had challenges too, that it wasn’t always easy for him. He told me, ‘If I can do it, anybody can do it.’ His encouragement at that dinner is something I’ll never forget…. To hear that from someone like Dr. Alves meant a lot.” Copley was a veteran entrepreneur before he graduated—he helped his family start a promotional products business while still at Wilkes—and Alves has tapped that real-world expertise by recruiting his former student to teach at Wilkes. “He’s taught the Integrated Management Experience (IME) course in which students start a business,” Alves says. “He’s taught (a course about) the selling process. He’s done it. He’s started a business.” Copley says he still consults with Alves when choosing textbooks for his classes. Alves emphasizes that mentoring has a trickle-down effect: It passes from faculty member to student, and then, when the student becomes an alumnus, back to current students. Copley has mentored Wilkes interns who work with him at Golden Technologies. Sidhu School alumna, Katie Pearson Desiderio ’01, MBA ’03, followed the same career path as her faculty mentor, Anne Heineman Batory, professor of business. Two years ago, Desiderio completed her doctorate in leadership education at Barry University in Miami, Fla., and joined the business faculty at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa. When she was invited to address the graduating class at Moravian in May 2011, the importance of having a mentor was one piece of advice she shared. Desiderio didn’t set out to become a professor when she entered Wilkes. “I thought I was most interested in marketing, but Dr. Batory asked me, ‘Did you ever think about teaching?’” Desiderio says. WILKES | Fall 2011 Anne Heineman Batory, professor of business, left, and Katie Pearson Desiderio ’01, MBA ’03 have the same career path, teaching business to undergraduate students. 8 I realized that I had more PASSION about driving up to Wilkes every Thursday than about what I was doing in my job. – Katie Pearson Desiderio ’01, MBA ’03 �Mike Steele, chair of Wilkes’ biology department, shares some insights in the lab with Salvatore Agosta ’98, who has returned to work with his faculty mentor as a post-doctoral research fellow.

WILKES | Fall 2011 Batory noticed her student’s talent for teaching during class presentations. “She was able to take things and render them absolutely understandable for others in the class,” Batory says. Desiderio remained at Wilkes, serving as assistant women’s soccer coach and earned a master of business administration degree. Although she initially worked in the corporate arena, including a position as consumer marketing manager at publisher Rodale, Inc., she also served as adjunct faculty at Wilkes. “I realized that I had more passion about driving up to Wilkes every Thursday than about what I was doing in my job,” she recalls. She left the corporate world to earn a doctorate, realizing her dream of becoming a professor in 2009. “We share a lot of interests in common,” says Batory, who converses on email regularly with her protégée. “When she was at Barry (University), it was fun to be re-introduced to material at the doctoral level. It’s great to have your students go out there and come back to you with their current interests.” Desiderio looks forward to combining motherhood and her academic career in the near future. Batory says female faculty fill an important role as mentors for their female students. “The fact that I’m married and have children is important to students,” Batory states. “They are asking themselves, ‘Did superwoman die, or can we do it all?’ I’m here to show them that they can.” Salvatore Agosta ’98, who earned a biology degree at Wilkes, has moved from a student to a colleague of his mentor, Michael Steele, professor and chair of the biology department. After earning a doctorate in ecology from the University of Pennsylvania, he returned to Wilkes in fall 2010 to work with Steele as a post-doctoral research fellow. He credits Steele with inspiring his interest in studying ecology. “I came here as a history major, not knowing what I really wanted to do,” says Agosta, who also had an interest in biology. “He facilitated my going to the school for field studies in Kenya in the summer after my sophomore year. After that, I pretty much knew what I wanted to do.” Agosta spent his remaining two years at Wilkes working with Steele on his research on oak trees and seed dispersal. He notes that his relationship with Steele has not changed much since earning his doctorate because Steele treats his students as equals in the lab. “The thing about Mike is, once he identifies you as someone who is serious about research, he starts to interact with you as a colleague. He’s a great mediator of people.” Steele knows that the mentoring that happens in Wilkes labs leads to long-term success. “Mentoring is about an apprenticeship,” he says. “You have to be totally immersed in the scientific process for it to be a meaningful mentorship.” Steele is proud of his former student, noting that Agosta is gaining recognition as a biologist with research papers published in 25 peer-reviewed journals. He says that Agosta has worked in the field with top ecology researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, including work with Dan Janson in Costa Rica. Agosta helped to arrange a meeting between Janson and Steele when the Wilkes professor visited Costa Rica. Such achievements are clear indications that their relationship has transitioned to a new level. “He and I will be collaborators for the rest of our (professional) lives,” Steele says. 9 �Change Agent A CONVERSATION WITH JACK MILLER ’68 By Vicki Mayk Wilkes magazine interviewed Jack Miller ’68, chairman of the Board of Trustees, to talk about his vision for the institution.

PHOTO BY MICHAEL TOUEY 10 �Wilkes Magazine (WM): You’ve been one of the highest ranking executives with one of the world’s largest accounting and consulting businesses. You could do many things with your time. So first of all, a simple question: Why Wilkes? Jack Miller (JM): If you want to change the world, be involved in education for children, youth and young adults. They will make change happen in their lifetime. Every time we graduate a student, we create a change agent for the future. That is powerful stuff. Wilkes provides the foundation skills, instills core values and provides an introduction to life experience that allows individuals to succeed in their chosen area. Knowing that Wilkes does that for its students—that alone makes it worthwhile. WM: The University’s strategic plan—Vision 2015—is the blueprint for the University’s future. What are the most important priorities to emerge from the strategic planning process? JM: Wilkes is at a crossroads. We can either follow a path to mediocrity or a path to a willed future. Something that I learned very early in my career is the concept of a willed future. It’s something that says, ‘I’m sitting down and determining what I want and where I want to go in the future.’ What we did with Vision 2015 is create consensus of what we collectively want to be at Wilkes and also developed a plan that outlines how we’re going to get there. The strategic plan capitalizes on opportunities for growth and growing revenue. Why are we focusing on growth opportunities and growing revenue? Although Wilkes is financially stable, it’s not sustainable. For example, we have an opportunity to grow revenue with adult learners…..Another area for growth is with the development of the Marcellus Shale in the region. With Wilkes’ strength in the sciences, we can position ourselves as independent assessors in the Marcellus Shale development….Wilkes is very heavily dependent on tuition. If we can develop and capitalize on professional & Q A opportunities and broaden the base of revenue, we will no longer have that dependency. WM: What are the board’s priorities at this time? JM: I would say we’ve got three areas that are priorities. First, we must stay abreast or ahead of the curve in the sciences. We’ve got to build a new, state-of-the-art science building and have a successful capital campaign to support that project. We’ll break ground this spring. If we want to contuine to attract the kind and quality of student we want, a state-of–the-art facility along with our top-notch professors is key. Second, we’re continuing with the IMPROVE initiative (Integrating Management Planning and Resources Effectiveness). For alumni who may not be familiar with this, it is a fact-based decision-making process. We are providing data, including financial metrics, to administrators and faculty at the program level or department level, where it is most useful. It allows them to determine where we need more resources in the areas where we want to succeed. That information is not useful if it’s kept on the upper administration level. It has to be shared with people closest to the programs. And finally, our third focus is measuring student learning outcomes….We need to be able to assess the effectiveness of a Wilkes education….The cost of education is so great today. Parents and students have every right to say, ‘Am I getting value for my (tuition) at Wilkes?’ I believe we create lots of value. WM: Wilkes alumni read this magazine. What message would you like to send them? JM: Become involved. We value you. Many of you provide us with financial support. But the most important things our alumni can also give are their time and talent. There are many ways they can do that. Be a mentor to a current Wilkes student. Become active with the alumni association. You can become a member of board of trustees. We want your financial support—but we really want you! The time and talent of our alumni can really make an impact. Jack Miller graduated cum laude from Wilkes in 1968 with a degree in commerce and finance. He says, “I was born and raised in Wilkes-Barre. My mother was in accounting at Planters Peanuts on South Main Street. My father was a city fireman. I was the first in our family to go to college. I very much fit the profile of the student we have at Wilkes today. “ Miller was vice chairman of KPMG LLP, a global accounting, tax and advisory firm. During his 36-year tenure, he served in many positions, including the elected position as a member of its Board of Directors and Management Committee. He also served as chief executive officer of a billion dollar line of business, led the development of tools to assist clients in responding more efficiently in their markets, and managed regulatory compliance, risk management and crisis management activities. He credits Wilkes for preparing him for his career: “Wilkes is outstanding. It says something about Wilkes that a boy from the Wyoming Valley ended up vice chairman of one of the world’s largest accounting and consulting companies.” After being diagnosed with cancer, he retired from KPMG in January 2005 to devote his time to public service. In addition to his work on Wilkes’ board of trustees, he is chairman of the board of trustees of The Osborn Retirement Community and a trustee and regent of the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine in New York City, where he serves as chair of its audit committee and member of its executive committee. Miller lives in Rye, N.Y., with his wife, Sarah. They have four children and six grandchildren. WILKES | Fall 2011 ABOUT JACK MILLER ’68 11 �Friends Indeed Wilkes Alumni Celebrate Friendships Formed at the University By Rachel Strayer Wilkes alumni found much more than an education when they came to the University: They found friendship. The relationships students form are among the most valuable parts of the Wilkes experience. After graduation, alumni don’t wait for Homecoming and class reunions to rekindle their friendships. They hold their own events—from dinner parties to four-day camping trips—to celebrate relationships that are as important as their diplomas. Above: (from left to right) Showing off their matching “W” tattoos are Wilkes creative writing alumn, from left, Donna Talarico MFA ’10, Jonathan Rocks MFA ’10, Carol Lavelle MFA ’10, Justice Fisher MFA ’10, and Angela Eckhart MA ’09. Wilkes | Fall 2011 A Mark of Friendship 12 Donna Talarico MFA ’10, Jonathan Rocks MFA ’10, K. Justice Fisher MFA ’10, Carol Lavelle MFA ’10, Viannah Duncan MFA ’10 and Angela Eckhart MA ’09 share more than a Wilkes creative writing degree. They all sport the same tattoo: a “W” that stands both for Wilkes and for writing. The group remembers when they revealed their matching tattoos to creative writing program director Bonnie Culver. “She thought they were fake!” Talarico says. Students get to see each other only twice a year in Wilkes creative writing program—at eight-day residencies in January and June. The low-residency program conducts classes and writing critiques online the rest of the year. Talarico’s cohort, which includes non-tattooed but equally dedicated MFA ’10 graduates Michael “Papa” Suppa, Cory Brin, and Sarah Pugh, met during their first Wilkes residency in June 2007 and bonded so well they couldn’t wait until January before seeing each other again. Their first get-together took place at Suppa’s home over Labor Day Weekend 2007. According to Suppa, the group’s friendship thrives in the atmosphere provided at Wilkes. “The nurturing atmosphere of the Wilkes Creative Writing program was the catalyst for our group,” says Suppa. “I would recommend the program to any or all! It is truly a community.” Although they lost one member to a long-distance move, most of the group meets twice a year —every August and April—for a four-day weekend of board games, book discussions, dress-up movie nights, and off-season holiday celebrations, including Christmas in April and Easter in August. Locations have included a houseboat, a cabin near Gettysburg and a vacation home in the Poconos. Inked or not, the familial spirit among these Wilkes alumni runs deeper than blue dye. “Donna and the rest of my cohort…have made a permanent and indelible impression on me,” says Rocks. “You know, sort of like a tattoo.” A (Wilkes) Christmas Story When Marcie Kreinces Bono ’90 and Karen Donohue Connolly ’90 became friends as Wilkes freshmen, they had no idea that their friendship would grow into a yearly gathering of close to 30 people. “We kind of started the whole crew,” laughs Bono. Connolly chimes in, “Marcie was the ringleader. (She) knew everyone on the whole campus.” While both women remain close with their entire graduating class, they formed a special bond with Valerie Sweeney Walachy ’90, and three members of the class of 1991, Karen Finn Juliano, Laurie Tappon Furfaro, and Sue Adamchak Smith. Their post-Wilkes gatherings began simply enough. The friends met annually at the University’s Homecoming Weekend. It wasn’t �Left: Celebrating Christmas in January has become an annual tradition for, from left, Karen Finn Juliano ’91, Laurie Tappan Furfaro ’91, Marcie Kreinces Bono ’90, Sue Adamchak Smith ’91, Valerie Sweeney Walachy ’90, and Karen Donohue Connolly ’90. Close-Knit Sharon Snyder Bergin ’82 and Geri McAfee Dougherty ’81 recall spending their college years sunbathing on the roof of Sturdevant Hall and sledding on the cafeteria’s lunch trays with their six closest friends. So how did the eight long-time buddies celebrate turning the big 5-0? “We made potholders!” they say with enthusiasm. “Whatever keeps you laughing,” Bergin explains. Laughing is never a problem for the group, which also includes Helen Gorgas Goulding ’82, Jeannie Bennis Seidof ’81, Mary Giblin Making potholders – complete with Ws -- was one way to mark half-century birthdays for these alumnae.

Wilkes | Fall 2011 enough: The six New Jersey residents began planning regular dinner dates. They didn’t stop there. “Every January we get together at someone’s house to celebrate Christmas with all the kids and husbands and everyone,” says Connolly. The six of them have a total of 16 children ranging in age from 15 to four years old, making one chaotic, joyful group. “We don’t pick a day unless everyone can make it,” says Bono. “And everybody always shows up,” Connolly adds. The women are thrilled to watch their children build relationships of their own within the group. Now their Christmas gatherings are a relaxing time to catch up because the kids take care of each other, leaving the six women to laugh, talk, and reminisce about their Wilkes days. “I didn’t anticipate that going away to college would give me five of the best friends I could have asked for,” Bono says. Connolly echoes the sentiment. “We’re like sisters…I hope my kids have that someday.” The women planned to reunite the whole crew at Homecoming 2011. Galetto ’81, Gina Scazzaro Fair ’82, Maureen Falvey Creamer ’80, and Bergin’s twin sister Karen Snyder Zeiser ’82. The women, who bonded as residents of the same hall, have an eclectic mix of majors. They get together at least once every year or two—not an easy feat for eight women who have 22 children and three grandchildren among them. For each gathering, the ladies strive to come up with a fun theme or activity. “One year we brought old bridesmaids’ dresses and wore them out to dinner,” says Bergin. “Another year it was crazy hats.” Then came the potholders. “After we all turned 50 we were joking about being old,” says Dougherty. “Someone brought a potholder weaving kit, so we made potholders!” Dougherty even embellished one of hers with a Wilkes “W,” in honor of their “family away from home.” Even though they don’t get to see each other as much as they would like, they still find creative ways to connect. “We have something called ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Necklace,’” says Bergin. One necklace is passed around the group every three months or so, usually to someone who is going through a tough time. “We tend to mail it to someone who needs cheered up,” she says. The women are content to be each other’s reminders of their happy college years. “We will always get together…” says Bergin. “…even when there’s only two of us left…” continues Dougherty. “…and we don’t know where we’re going,” laughs Bergin. At least they’ll be going together. 13 �-... Wilkes Rallies To Lend A Hand in Flood Relief W hen a swollen Wilkes | Fall 2011 Susquehanna River heavily flooded the Wilkes campus in June 1972 in the aftermath of Hurricane Agnes, an incoming freshman named Bill Goldsworthy heard the college’s clarion call for help as the water receded. With a group of Circle K members, he cleaned out muddy books from the basement of Eugene S. Farley Library in a campus-wide push to get Wilkes back open by the start of his fall semester. Now, nearly 40 years later, it was Goldsworthy who was in need, as the Susquehanna River rose again to record levels in September due to heavy rains. Levees built after the ’72 Agnes flood held back the river in Wilkes-Barre, sparing the city from major flood damage. But in unprotected communities—such 14 as West Pittston, where Goldsworthy ’76 grew up and still resides—the rushing river pushed into homes and businesses, tossing about furniture, buckling floors and crumbling foundations. This time, the Wilkes community got a chance to pay it forward by helping Goldsworthy and other Wyoming Valley families recover from the extensive flooding. Students, faculty, staff and alumni teamed up to work shifts, hauling out muck from basements, ripping up flooring or tossing damaged furniture curbside and into dumpsters. “Our town is in total devastation,” said Goldsworthy, former West Pittston mayor and former president of the Wilkes Alumni Association. “It’s like we went through a war.” The water rose 3 feet on the first floor of his two-story home, where Goldsworthy and his wife have lived for 33 years and raised their four children. They By Mary Ellen Alu ’77 hadn’t owned the home during Agnes, but back then, the basement was only partially flooded. When the water started to recede and Goldsworthy finally got the first look inside, he was disheartened. “It looked like someone literally trashed your house,” he says. Meanwhile, the Wilkes community was mobilizing, calling for volunteers over the University’s Facebook page and by phone. The University gave all employees up to two paid days off to volunteer. Amy Hetro, Wilkes annual fund manager, used the time off to continue volunteer work at the West Pittston Library, which lost its building and 40 percent of its collection from flooding. Hetro says, “Because of the Wilkes employee volunteer program, I was able to volunteer at the library to pick up where the volunteers left off over the weekend. I helped disinfect books, made arrangements for a temporary library location, secured computers and internet access for this location, and established a fund at a local foundation to assist with recovery.” �MORE ON THE WEB Pieces of family history were already curbside when students arrived— his grandfather’s antique clock, his grandmother’s favorite chair. anything covered in flood mud posed health hazards and had to be tossed, says Goldsworthy, deputy director of the governor’s northeast regional office. Kitchen cabinets had to be removed, as well as tile flooring. when sophomore Megan heverly arrived with the student crew, it was the mounds of debris lining the streets that struck her. “You couldn’t tell what anything was,” she says. “It’s so sad to see.” Inside Goldsworthy’s home, heverly bleached woodwork on the first floor to protect it from mold, as other students hauled muck and a ruined pool table from the basement. “You’re getting them one step closer to getting their house back to what it was,” heverly says. There have been some things Goldsworthy has managed to save. In his file cabinet in his first-floor office, he found his acceptance letter to wilkes from so many years ago, signed by then-Dean John whitby. he dried it out.

Here are some facts about the flood of 2011 at Wilkes: • The City of Wilkes-Barre—including Wilkes University’s campus—was evacuated at 4 p.m. on Thursday, sept. 8. • The University’s facilities department, with some help from the Colonels football team, moved file cabinets, computers and other equipment out of harm’s way, moving them to upper floors prior to the evacuation deadline. • about 40 Wilkes students were guests of the University of scranton during the evacuation. • The river crested at a record 42.6 feet on Friday, sept 9. The levees constructed after Hurricane agnes held. Communities without levee protection experienced record flooding. • The evacuation order was lifted on saturday, sept. 10 and the Wilkes residence halls reopened on sunday, sept. 11 at 3 p.m. Classes resumed on Tuesday, sept. 13. • The Wilkes volunteer effort continues weeks after the flood. Collections of cleaning supplies, fundraisers and a special volunteer cleanup by alumni during Homecoming Weekend continued as Wilkes magazine went to press.

Wilkes | Fall 2011 wrestling coach Jon laudenslager ’98 was among the first to contact the community service office to let officials know his wrestlers were ready to serve. “It was a no brainer,” laudenslager says. Community service was on his mind, he says, because of the service to country of one of his former wrestlers, army Ranger sandrino Plutino, killed in action in afghanistan in august 2011. (see page 25) some 30 wrestlers volunteered to help. at the request of wilkes-Barre officials, the wrestlers and others from wilkes—55 people in all—worked in the Brookside section of the city. wrestler shane everett, a wilkes senior, was among them. “It was pretty eye-opening,” he says. “It was surprising to see that just a few miles down the road (from the campus), many community members weren’t so lucky.” everett said students felt they were making a difference as they cleared homes and streets of debris. “I was soaked in sweat,” he said. “we gave it our all.” Community service coordinator Megan Boone encouraged students not to refer to flood-damaged items as trash. “we’re touching people’s treasured items: wedding dresses, photo albums, the chair that grandma sat on at Thanksgiving, Christmas decorations that you put up every year, things that hold memories.” Goldsworthy didn’t hesitate in accepting the University’s offer of help. he hopes he can rebuild his home in time to celebrate the Christmas holidays there with his family and new granddaughter. 15 �alumni news Alumni Mentor Current Generation of Wilkes Students Wilkes is known for the one-on-one mentoring relationships students have with their professors. The Alumni Association has expanded this tradition of individualized learning by bringing alumni mentors together with current students. Since the alumni-student mentoring program’s inception in 2009, over 200 alumni and about 300 students have been matched according to interest and expertise. The program has been integrated into the psychology, communication studies, business and education departments and includes both undergraduate and graduate alumni. This collaboration is coordinated by a committee of alumni volunteers, faculty and staff members from the alumni relations and career services offices. ...As these young people are getting started, the mentoring program gives them SOMEONE else TO TURN TO besides mom and dad. – Al Melusen ’85 WILKES | Fall 2011 Mentor Kristin Klemish ’04 talks with Allison Roth ’11 before the mentoring dinner in February 2011. PHOTO BY CURTIS SALONICK 16 Deborah Tindell, associate professor of psychology, has been involved with the mentoring initiative from the start. “I have always encouraged students to contact professionals in their chosen field to gain more experience, but it can be difficult to make that initial connection. With this program, our students have a readily available source of advice from mentors who have already indicated a willingness and desire to help,” she says. Mentors and mentees discuss interview preparation, the job search and graduate school applications; however, oftentimes, these talks turn to life after Wilkes. Al Melusen ’85, a senior staff advisor and attorney with the U.S. Department of Labor, is one of the alumni mentoring students. “I remember what a trying and anxious period of time it can be as you are launched into the ‘real world’ from the comparatively protected environment of the University. Many of the questions we discuss are basic, practical issues that you take for granted when you have been working for 10 or 20 years. But as these young people are getting started, the mentoring program gives them someone else to turn to besides mom and dad,” says Melusen, who has worked with two students over the past three years. Allison Roth ’11 appreciated such advice when she was a senior in the communication studies department in spring 2011. Paired with Kristin Klemish ’04, a communications professional, Roth describes their relationship as “an instant connection.” “She gave me insight into the job world and answered all of my questions regarding job applications and interviews. We also bonded over college life. Kristin reminisced about her years on campus and we chatted about classes and professors,” says Roth. According to Tindell, the biggest benefit of the mentoring program can’t be measured. “When a person finds a true mentoring relationship, it can last a lifetime and provide a great deal of support and satisfaction for both the mentor and mentee,” she says. Both Melusen and Klemish encourage other alumni to get involved with the mentoring program. “The time commitment is not overwhelming, and you will be surprised how much you have to offer others and how rewarding an experience it can be,” says Melusen.

I’d like to thank each and every one of you—our alumni, faculty, students and staff—for the way you have welcomed my family and me. We are thrilled to be among the newest members of this Army of Colonels. In my first weeks as Wilkes president, I’ve learned three things about our University. First, this community is singularly focused on student success— from the professors who take the extra time to collaborate on research with students to the coaches who mentor their athletes after wins and losses. From the advising staff who crafts curricular and co-curricular opportunities for our students to the facilities team who keeps our campus beautiful, all of them work to make students successful. This is a place where the idea of mentoring is imbedded into our DNA as a community. Many of our alumni tell me it’s what they remember most about being a student here. Second, this community is committed to improve and to innovate. Whether working to improve student outcomes or identifying ways to keep Wilkes accessible and affordable, everyone at Wilkes is focused on asking a most important question: What can we do today to be better tomorrow? In the days ahead, Wilkes’ newest colonel, President I’ll be asking everyone—including our Patrick Leahy, center, visits with Adam alumni—for their input and suggestions. Welch, associate professor of pharmacy practice, right, and pharmacy students Finally, and perhaps most importantly, at the University’s annual Club Day. the people associated with Wilkes really Photo by Lisa Reynolds care about this place. For those who work here, Wilkes is not just a job; it’s a vocation. For our students, Wilkes is not just a school; it’s a way of life. For those of you who graduated from here, Wilkes isn’t just your university; it’s your alma mater—in the Latin, your “other mother.” Your loyalty—and your personal success—is a testimony that a Wilkes education changes lives. A total commitment to student success, a spirit of innovation, and a caring community—what a privileged situation for a new president! I have said repeatedly that I would have relocated almost anywhere in the country for an opportunity to lead a university like Wilkes. To be able to do it in my adopted hometown of northeast Pennsylvania—a place that my family and I have grown to love—is a special privilege. I’ll be looking to all of you in the days ahead for your support and ideas as we work together to build a stronger and even more successful Wilkes. Dr. Patrick F.

Wilkes | Fall 2012 Documentaries From History Project Being Sold at Wilkes-Barre Barnes & Noble 2 It was lights, camera, action on a hot July day at the Lands at Hillside Farms. Two Wilkes University seniors—Ryan Wood and Todd Oravic—were behind the cameras. With the sounds of sheep, goats and cows lowing in the background, Loran Lewis, assistant professor of communication studies, was directing the videotaping of Doug Ayers, chairman of the 412-acre nonprofit educational dairy farm. The interview will be used in a documentary about the history of agriculture, the latest project in The Wyoming Valley History Project at Wilkes. The history project—which began more than a decade ago—captures the unique local history of the community surrounding Wilkes. DVDs of the earlier documentaries in the series are being sold at the Barnes & Noble Wilkes-Kings Bookstore on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. The DVDs are $7.99 and proceeds will help support the future of the project. Among the documentaries available for sale are: Wyoming Valley Media: Challenges and Changes; Iron Horses; Wilkes-Barre: The Economic Road of Change: The Trolley; The Pharmacists: Did You Boscov Today? Memories of Department Stores of Northeastern Pa.; and A Bicentennial Celebration: 1806-2006. The project was started by Mark Stine, associate professor and chair of communication studies, and John Hepp, associate professor of history. The two joined their classes to create historical documentaries about local monuments in the Wyoming Valley. Several documentaries were created over the years, and in 2008, with support by a contribution from Wyoming Valley resident Edward Meehan, the Wyoming Valley History Project at Wilkes University was formed. The project is now headed by Lewis. �on campus Wilkes Installs Patrick F. Leahy as Sixth President It was a time to celebrate the past and look to the future on Sept. 15, as Wilkes installed Patrick F. Leahy as its sixth president. Installation week events focused on the theme “Looking Back with Pride, Looking Forward With Confidence.” Festivities included the annual John Wilkes Society Dinner on Thursday, Sept. 13, and a Faculty Scholarship Showcase on Friday, Sept. 14, spotlighting writing and research by faculty representing Wilkes’ five academic colleges. The college community gathered Friday night to celebrate at an informal party in the Henry Student Center, where the ballroom and second-floor areas were transformed with decorations highlighting moments from Wilkes history. The installation ceremony on Saturday, Sept. 15, in the F.M. Kirby Center featured a keynote address by The Rev. Scott R. Pilarz, president of Marquette University and former president of the University of Scranton. Leahy’s remarks focused on his vision for Wilkes University in the changing landscape of higher education. Original musical selections were composed by Wilkes faculty for the ceremony. “Fanfare and Fantasy on Wilkes, Our Alma Mater” was written by Philip Simon, associate professor, performing arts. It was performed by the Wilkes University Civic Band. “Noble Truths” is a new choral work written by Steven Thomas, associate professor, performing arts, in honor of Leahy’s installation. The text is a poem written for the occasion by Wilkes faculty members Lawrence Kuhar and Mischelle Anthony, associate professors in the English department. Wilkes magazine will profile Leahy and his vision for Wilkes in the Winter 2013 issue.

The text of Leahy’s speech and the keynote address also can be found on the site. Freshmen entering the Jay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership this fall added iPads to their list of school supplies. For the first time, first-year business students are required to have iPads for their Sidhu course work. Students received their tablet computers during a special orientation session the weekend before fall classes started. Students pay a technology fee to cover the cost, which includes several applications to assist with their course work. Sidhu School Dean Jeffrey Alves says introducing the technology is in keeping with the school’s mission of preparing tomorrow’s business leaders. “The program will prepare our students to meet the challenges of the changing computing and communication technology field. Adapting and leveraging technology is critical to the success of managers and organizations.” Students will be using the iPads to access course materials for the Integrated Management Experience class required for all Sidhu freshmen in both fall and spring semesters, as well as for the Personal and Professional Development class. Students also will use tablet computers for Sidhu courses in subsequent years, as the initiative rolls out. Electronic texts—eBooks—for the classes using the iPads will replace traditional textbooks in some classes. Sidhu freshmen try out their iPads in class.

Fenner Chair of Research Biology, was appointed a Bullard Fellow at Harvard University for the 2012-2013 academic year. Steele will spend 11 months conducting research at Harvard Forest in Massachusetts. Steele’s research at Harvard will focus on the preparation of a book that summarizes his research on oak dispersal over the past 25 years. He also will collaborate with Harvard faculty on several questions concerning oak ecology, and organize an international team of colleagues from Harvard, Purdue University, Wilkes, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to investigate global patterns of oak-animal interactions. Steele is the co-author and co-editor of six books. His most recent works include Squirrels of the World, which will be published this year by Johns Hopkins University Press, and Terrestrial Vertebrates of Pennsylvania: A Complete Guide to Species of Conservation Concern, published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2010. Steele has been part of the Wilkes biology department faculty since 1989. Established in 1962, the Charles Bullard Fellowship program was created to support the study and advanced research of individuals likely to make important contributions as scholars or administrators in forest ecology. The fellowship is a highly competitive program that accepts only a few recipients each year from a large applicant pool worldwide. A dual admissions agreement gives Luzerne County Community College students a clear path to earning a degree at Wilkes. The agreement will help to increase the number of students completing bachelor’s degrees in the region. Recent data from the Chronicle of Higher Education show that the percentage of adults with bachelor’s degrees in Luzerne County, at 20 percent, is below the state average of 25.9 percent and the national average of 27.6 percent. Students admitted to LCCC also will sign an agreement to enter the dual admissions program with Wilkes. A grade-point average of 2.3 or better is required. After transferring to the University, each student will receive a $10,000 scholarship, which is renewable annually. They also will be permitted to take up to 9 credits at Wilkes for free to assist with the transition to their chosen major. Students signaling their intention to continue their education at Wilkes will have an advisor from the University while they are still at LCCC. Students also will be able to take advantage of clubs, speakers, sports events and other co-curricular activities, giving them a head start on becoming part of the campus community at Wilkes. Wilkes | Fall 2012 Record Crop of Colonels 4 Over the past decade, Wilkes has set records in recruiting its incoming freshman class. In 2003, the incoming class boasted more than 500 students for the first time in University history. Four years later, in 2007, Wilkes boasted its first-ever class exceeding 600. In fall 2012, Wilkes has welcomed the second largest freshman class in its history, again breaking 600.

Bone Lecture on Oct. 18. Hoffmann will speak about “The Chemical Imagination At Work in Very Tight Places” at 7 p.m. in 101 Stark Learning Center. A member of the faculty at Cornell University since 1965, he is now the Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters Emeritus. His many honors include the 1981 Nobel Prize awarded jointly with Kenichi Fukui of Japan’s Kyoto University for their theories concerning the course of chemical reactions. Hoffmann, who describes his work as “applied theoretical chemistry,” is the only person ever to have received the American Chemical Society’s awards in three different subfields of chemistry—the A. C. Cope Award in Organic Chemistry, the Award in Inorganic Chemistry, and the Pimentel Award in Chemical Education. Hoffmann earned his doctorate from Harvard University and has been the recipient of more than 25 honorary degrees during the course of his career. In the 1990s, he was a presenter on “The World of Chemistry,” a series of 26 half-hour programs developed at the University of Maryland and broadcast on PBS. Hoffmann also is an accomplished poet and playwright. His collections of poetry include The Metamict State, published in 1987, followed three years later by Gaps and Verges. His recent books of poetry are Memory Effects and Soliton. His plays include Oxygen, co-authored with fellow chemist Carl Djerassi. Hoffmann hosts a monthly cabaret called “Entertaining Science” at the Cornelia Street Café in New York City. Nobel Laureate Roald Hoffmann will deliver the 2012 Catherine H. Bone Lecture on Oct. 18.

Photos by Knot Just Any Day Photography Wilkes | Fall 2012 Wrestling alumni and current members of the team gathered on campus in June for a reunion that also marked the 85th birthday of Coach John Reese. Reese, who coached Wilkes wrestlers for 42 years, from 1953 to 1995, brought the program to national prominence. Wilkes ranks 11th among college wrestling teams for all-time wins, with 764 in team history. More than 200 people attended the event, which was emceed by former wrestler and Wilkes alumnus Dave Russo ’93, a professional stand-up comedian. Reese’s wrestlers recalled his motto—“Pride, Attitude, Desire”—and his inspiring admonition that “Victory goes to those who are willing to pay the price.” 5 �Wilkes | Fall 2012 Paul Wender advocates for translational medicine and “green chemistry,” producing compounds in a way that minimizes impact on the environment. Wender, pictured in his office, is flanked by a model of a segment of the DNA double helix. 6 photos by rod searcey �Chemical Soluti ns Known worldwide for work on the groundbreaking cancer drug taxol, Paul Wender ’69 seeks therapies for HIV/ AIDS, Alzheimer’s and resistant cancer 0 Wilkes | Fall 2012 By Kim Bower-Spence 7 �Even as a child, Paul Wender ’69 reveled in chemistry. He mixed whatever he could find under the kitchen sink to see if his concoction would foam or change color. Money earned from his Times Leader paper route bought chemicals from the neighborhood drugstore. He recalls mixing zinc and hydrochloric acid, releasing hydrogen gas to fill and float balloons. “I was more or less—without even knowing about the field—in love with chemistry ever since I can remember,” says the Wilkes-Barre native, now the Bergstrom Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University and a world-renowned scientist working at the intersection of chemistry, biology and medicine. His substantial accomplishments include synthesizing taxol, a blockbuster drug for treating breast and ovarian cancers, in the 1990s. The Pacific yew tree, whose bark produces the substance, doesn’t provide enough to meet clinical demand. Wender’s research group was among the half-dozen able to achieve a laboratory synthesis of taxol. His current work centers on new treatments for HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease and drug-resistant cancers. “His research is in the eye of the storm,” noted Ziwei Huang, director of the SUNY Upstate Cancer Research Institute, who introduced Wender at a summer meeting in Shanghai. Wilkes | Fall 2012 Potential Sea Creature Cure 8 A compound called bryostatin, discovered in a brown, marine creature called bryozoan in the 1960s, shows promise in treating some of society’s most devastating diseases. Wender’s laboratory successfully synthesized a natural bryostatin and is developing simplified, synthetic versions that work just as well or better than the natural product. Wender reports that animals treated with these compounds learn faster and retain information longer. By creating new synapses in the brain, Wender says these agents could not only stop the progression of Alzheimer’s disease but could potentially reverse some of its effects. For HIV, current treatment involves a cocktail of several drugs that stop progression of the disease by suppressing the active virus. But these drugs don’t work on the latent virus that lurks in the genome of certain cells. If patients stop taking the pills, this latent virus resupplies the active virus and they get sick again. Wender’s group is working on bryostatin-derived compounds with potential to flush out and eradicate that latent virus— which would eliminate the lifelong pill regimen. “It’s a pretty remarkable strategy, and it’s getting a lot of support right now.” The September 2012 issue of Nature Chemistry features a cover story on Wender’s HIV work. And Wender receives regular e-mails from grateful HIV/AIDS patients encouraging his coworkers on. “It’s the kind of thing that keeps you up late at night and gets you up early in the morning.” Outsmarting Resistant Cancer Another area of Wender’s research explores ways to get drugs through cell barriers. Ovarian cancer is difficult to detect, and is often already in Stage 3 or 4 by the time it’s found. The standard treatment arsenal includes surgery and chemotherapy, which is effective in many patients. But in recurring cases, Wender says, the cancer often rejects chemotherapy treatment. One reason resistant cancer cells can block treatment is that the new cells sport “export pumps” that expel the drugs, Wender explains. His team modified the drug in a way that allows it to avoid export pumps and get into the cell undetected. “This is the equivalent of getting into a nightclub by bypassing the bouncer,” he relates. Test treatments in cancer tissue samples from nine women— not the patients themselves—yielded positive results in all nine. Sadly, five of the nine patients died because the current therapy wasn’t effective. Wender’s approach can change this. For future cases, he says with optimism, “we might actually have a solution.” Research from his lab has spawned three new companies and spurred interest among both scientists and venture capitalists. Wilkes was a remarkable place. I realized that I loved to learn. – Paul Wender ’69 �Tackling Big Problems academic and research laboratories. Most of the balance—including John C. Lechleiter, chief executive officer of pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly—work in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. “Part of what I do is make them aware of the gift that they have,” Wender says of his students, whom he respectfully calls “coworkers.” He admires their ambition and drive, citing one who seeks to launch a company based on the resistant ovarian cancer therapy. Part of the teaching process, he explains, is helping people realize that they can achieve transformative change. “I’m blessed with such incredible students who are willing to solve problems,” Wender says. “They don’t define themselves in terms of what they have learned; they define themselves in terms of what they will do.” The Wender Group research laboratory at Stanford includes 15 graduate students, three post-doctoral researchers and one undergraduate research assistant. They’ve created a new model for research that crosses disciplines to tackle problems that combine chemistry with biology, medicine and materials science. Wender notes that where graduate students at one time would have worked exclusively in his laboratory, they now regularly interact with Stanford’s medical school, imaging or tissue culture laboratories, and even other universities. He calls it “intellectual bartering.” “This is really the model of the future, where students are free to go out and use all the resources of the university and even beyond.” The design of Wilkes’ new science building, now under construction, was developed with Wender’s input and emphasizes a laboratory design that also encourages collaboration across disciplines. Wender has mentored more than 300 coworkers, with Wender discusses research with two more than 70 of those of his coworkers—graduate students Jessica Vargas, left, and Erika Geihe Stanzl, center—in now working in Wilkes | Fall 2012 the Wender Group laboratory at Stanford. 9 �Wilkes | Fall 2012 In his classroom, Paul Wender uses stories and demonstrations to pique student interest. 10 Like their mentor, they set their sights on solving the problems of the time— energy and health care, for instance—to offer societal benefit. They strive for transformative therapies. Wender holds approximately 20 issued or pending patents. He has earned numerous awards, including recognitions by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and American Chemical Society. He has been recognized with several teaching awards. He was also elected to the National Academy of Sciences, whose very limited membership is selected from all scientific disciplines. Most recently, he won the Tetrahedron Prize for Creativity in Organic Chemistry for 2012 for contributions to organic synthesis and bioorganic chemistry. In nominating Wender for Yale University’s 2010 Wilbur Cross Medal awarded to outstanding graduate alumni, Scott Miller, Yale’s chair of chemistry, wrote that Wender has “inspired generations of chemists to design remarkable chemical transformations that achieve complex structures instantaneously. There is not a serious graduate course on chemical synthesis, probably world-wide, that does not feature Professor Wender’s chemistry.” Adds Gary Brudvig, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Chemistry at Yale: “Wender continues today as perhaps the world’s preeminent molecular architect for complex molecule assembly. In so doing, his name has become synonymous with molecules such as taxol, phorbol, resiniferatoxin and a host of others that inspire awe in every laboratory concerned with synthesis.” Wender travels extensively sharing his knowledge, logging 120,000 miles last year as he traveled between Europe, China, Japan and the East and West coasts of the United States. Lively Lectures Wender’s penchant for chemistry extends beyond the research lab to the classroom, where his enthusiasm bubbles like baking soda in vinegar. He winces when he encounters people who say their chemistry courses turned them off to the subject. Chemistry is “really intrinsically beautiful, it’s comprehensible,” he stresses, noting that teachers need to approach it differently than in the past. “If I can engage (students) in a way that piques their interest … then what they learn they might want to share with others.” He strives to present lessons in a fashion that students not only remember but want to pass on to others. Take his undergraduate chemistry lesson on acid-based reactions. It begins with a fish that sits out on Wender’s kitchen counter overnight (with the blessing of his wife, Jacqueline, who buys the fish). In class the next day, Wender passes the fish under students’ noses.

Wilkes | Fall 2012 More on the web 11 �Spin Control Wilkes Professor Helps Voters Focus on the Facts By Helen Kaiser Wilkes | Fall 2012 W 12 Wilkes Communication Studies Professor Jane Elmes-Crahall teaches a class on political communications. photo by michael touey ith an estimated $2 billion being spent on this year’s presidential election race, Americans are subjected to an onslaught of political pitches for nearly two years. Is it any wonder many in the electorate have tuned out or feel overwhelmed at making what is a crucial choice for the nation? For Wilkes communication studies Professor Jane Elmes-Crahall, however, the presidential election is a timely tool for teaching students how to think for themselves. Her popular “Controlling Spin” class is offered every four years during the heated primary season, affording students real-world opportunities to assess what is being said during debates, commercials, media interviews and online. The goal is to enable students to cut through the rhetoric and choose the candidate who best meets their criteria on issues important to them. “I have always been a strong supporter of nonpartisan groups, like the League of Women Voters,” Elmes-Crahall says. “That’s because I believe in the importance of each individual voter forming his or her own opinion, rather than being influenced by groups lobbying for one position or another.” For Dominick Costantino, a Wilkes junior from Hanover Township, Pa., last spring’s course provided an in-depth look at political campaigns that will help prepare him to vote in his first presidential election. “As a communications major, I really was interested in the public relations aspects of the race—how certain messages are framed,” he says. “The whole spin aspect of politics is important to analyze, because this is what they (campaign staffs) all do,” says senior Trevor Kurtz, another communication studies major, from Harleysville, Pa. �A frequent provider of expert analysis on political speeches, debates and policy statements for regional and national news media, Elmes-Crahall shared her strategies for “controlling spin” and evaluating candidate communications: • Don’t let anyone else frame a political event for you. Don’t listen to commentators who are providing analysis. Just focus on the candidates themselves. • Realize that strategists are providing spin even before a candidate’s speeches, town halls or debates. They try to lower your expectations so your impression is more positive if the candidate’s performance is only average. • Learn some of the basics of reason and logic so you can see through any argument that may be fallacious. • Take the time needed to evaluate what you’re hearing. You can record and replay or watch most interviews and debates again online if necessary. • Give some thought to what issues are most important to you, and research candidates’ positions on them. • Develop what you might call a voter’s manifesto—as if you were saying “This is what you, the candidate, must do to win my vote.” • Post your thoughts online in a blog or on the candidates’ websites. Begin a discussion and influence the news cycle yourself. Today, any voter with a computer has a chance to impact other voters. Focus Groups Evaluate Political Attitudes Of Youth When class members analyzed the responses, they found today’s young voters and prospective voters are being shaped by their personal and social media relationships. They are fed up with party politics. According to Wilkes communication studies professor Jane Elmes-Crahall, there has been a dramatic evolution in the electorate in just the past four years. In 2008, television This poster, designed by Wilkes student Bryan Calabro, advertised a was the primary source of young voters rally organized by the campaign information for Controlling Spin class. most people, she said. Now social media has surpassed broadcast media, especially for the younger generation of voters. “Young voters get almost all their information about the 2012 presidential campaign from conversations with friends and from social media (especially Facebook and Twitter),” the focus group research discovered. When they do tune in to broadcasts, it’s likely to be for CNN Headline News, or Comedy Central’s John Stewart and the Colbert Report. The focus group interviews also revealed a distrust of the two-party political system, coupled with growing identification among 18- to 24-year olds as Independents. “Please embrace nonpartisanship—I am so sick of campaigning in Republican or Democratic terms,” pleaded one student. “Address the whole nation’s needs.” The focus groups found that 32.5 percent of respondents identified themselves as Democrats, and 21 percent as Republicans. Independents (23 percent) and Libertarians (18.5) together totaled nearly 42 percent. Two participants had not made a choice. “Ten years from now, almost no young voters will identify with either the Republicans or Democrats,” one student predicted. The focus group participants were fed up with the increasingly used tactic of negative advertising. Said one student: “Polarizing language insults me . . . don’t candidates realize young voters can see right past these cheap tactics?” The issues that meant the most to the young focus group participants were: jobs, mounting student debt, improving the quality of education, civil rights for gay individuals and separation of church and state.

The horse costume she spent hours quilting so intricately that it looked like it was made of stones. Or the red, white and blue uniforms festooned with brass buttons produced in a matter of days for a production of Les Miserables at Wyoming Seminary’s Performing Arts Institute. More recently, there was the stunning orchid gown and matching hat made in honor of The Titanic’s 100th anniversary. They have something in common: a label proclaiming they are Costumes by Barbara. Hartnett started her business as a part-time venture in 1987, designing and sewing costumes for Halloween revelers and masquerade party-goers. It became her full-time occupation in 1995 when she moved into the shop at 186 Main St. in Luzerne, Pa. The bell jingles on the door as it opens into the store with its floor-toceiling crush of color. “I’m back here,” Hartnett calls. She’s in the back near the dressing rooms, dressed in a simple peach-colored t-shirt and beige slacks that contrast with the bright primary colors of her creations. Heads of cartoon characters grin down on visitors from a high shelf. Shrek, a cheerful purple dinosaur and a facsimile of a certain famous mouse beam down. A parade of picture hats hangs from a bar suspended from the ceiling. Does Hartnett know how many costumes she has? 14 Barbara Gavlick Hartnett ’76, front, is surrounded by her costume creations in her Luzerne, Pa., shop. Pictured from left, clockwise are Wyoming Valley West High School student Casey Clark, gypsy; Wilkes junior Brittany Battista, harem girl; Liz Swantek ’05, MBA ’07, director of residence life, colonial woman; Wyoming Valley West student Josh Williams, Napoleon; blue rabbit Evan Sedor, son of John Sedor ’87 and Donna O’Toole Sedor ’85; Kevin Saunders, Wyoming Valley West, leprechaun; and Wilkes junior Ian Foley, behind the jester’s mask.

If you’re too far away to rent one from Barbara Gavlick Hartnett, she has a few tips for creating your own: Decide what you want to be: “Do you want to be pretty, funny, sexy, spooky? Do you want to have a covered face or not? Such basics can guide your process.” Be open to suggestions: Don’t set too many parameters when picking costumes. Saying you “have” to be a vampire or couples who say they “have to go as a couple” can lead to unhappy choices and eliminate good ones. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize: A basic dress or outfit can be turned into a multitude of looks with the right accessories. For example, a basic plain black robe or dress becomes a pilgrim costume with the right hat and an apron added to it. Add a wimple, collar and rosary beads, and it becomes a nun’s habit. The same dress plus a peaked hat yields a witch. Barbara Gavlick Hartnett, Swoyersville, Pa. B.A., Fine Arts, 1976 Career: Professional costumer and owner of Costumes by Barbara, a costume rental business in Luzerne, Pa. Notable: During the course of a 25-year career, designed and created more than 1,500 costumes. Favorite Wilkes memory: As a member of Wilkes’ Circle K Club, Hartnett traveled to Florida to the first convention after the national Kiwanis organization admitted women, and later to a convention in Los Angeles. Wilkes | Fall 2012 “About 1,500, no—2,000,” she says. Some are stored at home—such as the Halloween ghosts and goblins that she brings out in the fall. She tracks them by a numbering system. Spiral notebooks organized by dates chronicle special orders. They include the sketches for her original designs and swatches of the fabric she used to make them. She refers to them when asked to make a similar costume. “Why reinvent the wheel?” says Hartnett, who also uses pieces from commercial dress patterns in addition to creating her own. It’s a practical approach for a woman in a somewhat impractical business. “My father used to say, ‘Do what you have to do so that you can do what you want to,’ ” Hartnett recalls. “My father and I were lucky because the two things were the same for us—we’ve done what we loved.” Her late father, Leo Gavlick ’51, was a civil engineer whose passion was numbers. He graduated from Bucknell University Junior College. Hartnett took a different path at Wilkes, majoring in fine arts after she transferred from Luzerne County Community College and Bloomsburg University. Her brothers, Blase ’73, MBA ’77 and Jeffrey Gavlick ’82 and Jeff’s wife, Donna (George) Gavlick ’82, also are alumni. She commuted to Wilkes from Swoyersville, studying painting with Bernice D’Vorzon and Phil Richards, jewelry making with Henry Casilli, sculpture with Herb Simon and textiles and batik with Richard Fuller. Outside of class, she was involved with Circle K—an involvement she continues as a member of the Swoyersville Kiwanis. Hartnett worked for 16 years as an embroidery designer for companies in Ashley, Pa., and New Jersey. “I have embroidery that I designed on some of my costumes,” she says, and pulls out a blue period gown with a delicately embroidered eyelet collar. “We designed it by hand,” she recalls. “Now it’s all done by computer.” Since opening her store, she’s created costumes for businesses, clowns, community groups and party-goers. For nine years, she designed costumes for musicals at Wyoming Valley West High School in Plymouth, Pa., including productions of Pirates of Penzance, Kiss Me Kate and Guys and Dolls. For most of the years she’s been in business, costume rentals have been the mainstay, but the age of her customers has changed. “Seventeen years ago, I rented 110 kids’ costumes. Now, I rent maybe eight.” The costume business is seeing another shift: Customers want to buy as often as they want to rent. A savvy businesswoman, she’s accommodating the shift. “I’m moving more into consignment and sales,” she says. In her free time, Hartnett enjoys travel with her husband, Tom. In fall 2012, she’s partnering with an illustrator to publish a children’s book, The Poor Little Pumpkin. “I’m all about creativity; that’s my thing,” she says with a smile. “I love what I do.” 15 �Bill Miller ’81 popularized brands for Barnes & Noble, The New York Times and FAO Schwarz Marketing Maven ii Bill Miller ’81 loves product. He particularly loves making Wilkes | Fall 2012 product more lovable to consumers across continents. 16 Over three decades the merchandising expert has popularized everything from clip-on lights for tablet computers to baskets woven by Ugandan war widows. By Geoff Gehman �Bill Miller, New York, N.Y. B.S., Business Administration,Wilkes, 1981 Career: President of Galison Publishing LLC/Mudpuppy Press Notable: Recently completed a consulting project marketing archival photos for The New York Times. Bill Miller ’81 is surrounded by the colorful products he markets as president of Galison Publishing/Mudpuppy Press, the latest chapter of his successful career. Photos by Dan Z. Johnson Favorite Wilkes Memories: Bradford Kinney’s communication and marketing class and lessons learned from Jane Lampe-Groh, then assistant dean of student affairs, and George Ralston, then dean of student affairs. “They gave me a vision,” says Miller, “of a kinder, broader world.” store of healthy products for Rodale Press, the organic-lifestyle pioneer, to marketing LightWedge clip-on lights for the Nook and its chief competitor, Amazon’s Kindle. Miller’s splashiest consulting assignment came from The New York Times. Asked to boost the sales and reputation of the newspaper’s archival photographs, he suggested hiring prominent designers as guest curators. Fashion superstar Vera Wang was among the 10 tastemakers who chose 10 pictures apiece. Celebrity cachet has helped boost sales of Times Store photos a heady 12 percent, says Theresa DeRosa, the newspaper’s director of creative services and merchandising. She praises Miller as a remarkably skilled strategist: connected, charismatic, calm in any crisis. A fan of his Barnes & Noble innovations, she waited three years to work with him, finally proposing a partnership when they sat together at a dinner party. Miller missed the excitement of leading a creative team, a daily duty for his husband, Talbot Logan, vice president of wholesale initiatives and brand presentation for Ralph Lauren. Miller filled this void in May when he became president of Galison Publishing LLC/Mudpuppy Press. He likes the company’s lineup of useful, fanciful items: a memo pad shaped like a vintage telephone; a writer’s notebook with a photo of the Chrysler Building, which he can see from the company’s conference room. He especially likes the challenge of trying to transform a well-known family business into a household name under a new owner. In March the company was purchased by the McEvoy Group, a San Francisco-based media company. “My job is to instill a sense of pride and responsibility, to give people a setting to shine,” says Miller, a member of Wilkes’ Board of Trustees. Miller is eager to put his spin on items featuring Babar and the Little Prince, new licensees and old superheroes of children’s literature. He loves to cast novel roles for classic characters, to make something as simple as a little black notebook as flexible, and as important, as a little black dress. “It’s not just a little black notebook; it can have all sorts of designs that can express your lifestyle and your life,” says Miller. “It all comes down to, ‘how do we use product to make our everyday existence a little better?’ ” Wilkes | Fall 2012 Last spring Miller began finding and fine tuning product as president of Galison Publishing LLC/Mudpuppy Press, a supplier of fine-art notecards, children’s games and journals for all ages. Promoting items starring Van Gogh’s sunflowers and Babar the elephant suits a marketing maven who has worked for the world’s biggest bookseller and the world’s best-known toy store. The native of Forty Fort, Pa., earned money for Wilkes by unloading boxes and setting up store displays for his father, a food broker for supermarket chains and mom & pop groceries. Miller learned from his father to exceed customer demands and meet deadlines—essential skills for a future branding boss. Key lessons for his career also were learned at Wilkes. He cites taking the communication and marketing class taught by Bradford Kinney, professor of communication studies. Kinney’s “great energy” inspired Miller to write for The Beacon and work in the school’s public-relations office, where he learned about marketing through media. Miller later polished his skills while serving a pair of venerable department-store chains, Hess’s and Macy’s. He graduated from Macy’s renowned executive-training program. In 1989, Miller joined FAO Schwarz, the famous toy store. He became a quadruple threat, supervising stores outside Manhattan, the company catalog, its Web site and its flagship store on Fifth Avenue. Highlights included escorting Princess Diana and reaping the publicity benefits of the 1988 movie Big, where Tom Hanks dances to “Chopsticks” on the store’s giant floor piano. Miller left in 2000, shortly after FAO Schwarz was sold. He became president of Eziba.com, a three-year-old firm started by an economist-entrepreneur to aid talented artisans in troubled countries. Miller helped launch a museum-quality catalog that compelled young consumers to buy goods online, a strategy then in its infancy. He helped establish an exchange where the sale of goods funded food and shelter. Eziba struggled to turn a profit despite backing from Amazon.com and, in 2005, it sold its assets to Overstock.com. The next year Miller became a vice president at Amazon’s rival, Barnes & Noble. He monitored gifts, cafes, product placement and product development. Miller oversaw developing covers and lights for the Nook, Barnes & Noble’s tablet computer. He commissioned his friend, home-décor specialist Jonathan Adler, to design the company’s first vase. It was his idea to have back-to-school journals and bags decorated by college students, an idea that became a boon for the company’s campus bookstores. He also brokered a partnership with FEED Projects, co-founded by former first daughter Lauren Bush, to provide food and nutrients to children in impoverished countries. Miller remains on FEED’s board. In 2009 he left Barnes & Noble to become a full-time consultant. His projects ranged from developing an online 17 �alumni news Regional Alumni Events Take Wilkes Around the Country From top to bottom: More than 60 alumni from northeastern Pennsylvania visited the recently opened Susquehanna Brewing Company in Pittston, Pa.

We named the University archives in honor of Harold Cox, professor emeritus of history and Wilkes’ archivist. It was appropriate to start the year recognizing an individual who has been part of Wilkes for a half century and who has preserved precious artifacts from our history. It was Dr. Cox who first shared with me the idea that Wilkes is an institution truly unique in American higher education. It was formed to answer an educational need in the city of Wilkes-Barre and, through many challenges, has grown and prospered, even when circumstances might have suggested it would not survive. Wilkes continues to occupy a unique place today, a University with an academic and co-curricular program mix of a larger research institution in the intimate setting of a smaller liberal arts college. That mix makes for the one-of-a-kind college experience that we know as a Wilkes education. Understanding our past provides us with the context for mapping the future. As we move forward to develop a strategic plan for the coming years, six themes have emerged. We will continue to focus on building high-quality curricular and co-curricular programs. In order to do that, we will invest in our people—the faculty and staff who provide a stellar college experience for Wilkes students. Recruiting and retaining talented students will continue to be a priority, as will building the financial strength of the University. Finally, we will develop our campus infrastructure, improving existing facilities and adding new ones. And we’ll continue our commitment to improve downtown Wilkes-Barre, because its success and the success of Wilkes are inextricably linked. Achieving these goals will require us to tap the spirit of innovation that has always been part of our campus culture. Students will remain at the center of our decision-making. We’ll solicit your input, welcome your ideas and keep you informed about our plans for your alma mater. In all that we do, I want to remember the words of the English poet John Masefield, who wrote, “There are few earthly things more beautiful John Stachacz, left, dean of the Farley than a university, a Library, and President Patrick Leahy place where those unveil the Harold Cox Archives Room at a ceremony this fall. PHOTO BY VICKI MAYK who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see.” Maintaining and growing the beauty—of community, education and spirit—that defines Wilkes is my highest priority in the years ahead.

Rooms look more like hospital rooms than a simulated environment. Joyce Chmil, director of the center now in Stark Learning Center, says, “The new Clinical Nursing Simulation Center was designed based on years of research and tours of simulation laboratories across the country, as well as on student and faculty input. The new CNSC provides opportunities for our students to fully engage in the experiential learning processes needed to develop clinical nursing judgment and enhance clinical performance.” The patient rooms in the simulation center stress medical-surgical care since that is the primary focus for undergraduate nursing students. One of the patient rooms is set up as a critical care suite.This room offers opportunities for the students to learn and practice Nursing student Gemena Williams checks the heartbeat of Cathy Hauze, skills for basic and advanced cardiac support. simulation specialist, in a hospital Another is set up as a high-fidelity pediatric room in the new simulation center. PHOTO BY VICKI MAYK and obstetric suite. Since critical care, pediatrics and obstetrics are considered high-risk areas in hospitals, students sometimes cannot get hands-on experience with real patients.The simulation rooms give students hands-on experiences in a safe, risk-free environment. All the rooms employ life-like manikins that can be programmed with changes to pulse and breathing and to simulate a variety of conditions. In the center, instructors can observe students interacting with patients via one-way glass. Exam rooms are outfitted with cameras and microphones that allow the demonstrations in the hospital room and pediatric room to be broadcast to the center’s classroom. The center also includes a computer lab and an apartment to simulate home-health visits. -------------------------------------------------1 WILKES | Fall 2013 Wilkes Named A “High ROI College” by Affordable Colleges Online 2 Wilkes has been named one of the top 20 Pennsylvania colleges with the greatest lifetime return on investment by the website AffordableCollegesOnline.org. Wilkes is ranked 16th on the list of 81 colleges and universities in the state that offer a good return on a student’s investment in higher education. Only 81 of more than 400 schools in Pennsylvania made the list. Graduates from these schools enjoy the largest earnings gap between non-degree holders over 30 years, and earn more on average than graduates from other Pennsylvania schools. Wilkes outranks all of its peer institutions in the northeast Pennsylvania region. “It is heartening to receive this endorsement from Affordable Colleges Online because we have long emphasized the value of a Wilkes education,” says Wilkes President Patrick F. Leahy. “We may not be the low-cost provider in our recruiting market; nor are we the premium price option. But at Wilkes we strive to be the highest-value option.” Wilkes new freshmen bring diversity to campus in a variety of ways—including in the number of native languages spoken by members of the class of 2017. In addition to English, members of the freshmen class are fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Thai, Hindi, Gujarati and Farsi.

His talents, his discipline, and his ambition form a complement to all the slacks, voids, and indolences of my nature,” Mailer wrote. Integrating the streams of material became the most difficult part of the biography project for Lennon. Included in the plethora of papers were over 45,000 letters written, unpublished journals and interviews with Mailer, his friends and family. Norman Mailer: A Double Life, Mailer won Pulitzer Prizes for written by Wilkes professor emeritus J. Michael Lennon, The Armies of the Night and The Executioner’s was released this month by Song. His first book, The Naked and the Dead, Simon & Schuster. was an enormous bestseller, and Mailer would have 10 more bestsellers from the 44 books he published. He also was co-founder of The Village Voice. Mailer, who died in 2007 at 84, was the founding chair of the Wilkes Graduate Creative Writing Program advisory board. He was the keynote speaker at the June 2004 writing conference that kicked off the program. His wife, Norris Church Mailer, succeeded him on the advisory board and remained involved with the program until her death in November 2010. The Mailer family established a scholarship in her name. – By Bill Schneider M.A.’13 Integrative Media Chair Eric Ruggiero Receives Sony Pictures Fellowship Eric Ruggiero, associate professor and chair of the integrative media and art department, was one of three individuals nationally awarded a fellowship from Sony Pictures Imageworks. Ruggiero was selected for the Faculty Fellowship Program known as IPAX, and spent six weeks this summer at the Sony Pictures motion picture lot in Culver City, Calif., shadowing production team members working on current animated feature films. Ruggiero observed and worked with special effects professionals and animation experts on such current and upcoming releases as The Amazing Spiderman 2, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, Smurfs 2 and Hotel Transylvania. He was present for the production of the trailer for The Amazing Spiderman 2 that was shown at this year’s Comic Con. Ruggiero was able to learn how the experts use 3-D modeling, computer graphics and other tools to create the worlds seen on the screen. WILKES | Fall 2013 Lennon will read from the book and sign books on Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. in the ballroom of the Henry Student Center. Lennon describes how he got to know Mailer. “In 1971, right after he got into a tussle with Gore Vidal on the Dick Cavett Show, I wrote him a letter of support and also passed on some of my theories about his recent nonfiction books, which were changing the way major events were reported.” Mailer was one of the leading voices of the New Journalism during the 1960s. This literary genre is a writing technique that combines fictional story telling with reportage. After corresponding, they met in fall 1972 at Western Illinois University. “We talked late into the night at a local bar,” recalls Lennon, who chairs the Mailer Review board. “And every summer after that, my family and I visited him in Maine or Provincetown, Mass.” Over time, they grew closer as Lennon began editing books by and about Mailer. In 1986, after reading Lennon’s book Critical Essays on Norman Mailer, Mailer asked him to serve as one of his literary executors. Mailer described his relationship with Lennon in the preface of a bio-bibliography, Norman Mailer: Works and Days, written by Lennon and his wife, Donna Pedro Lennon. “Sometimes I think 3 �on campus Cancer Researcher Samuel Danishefsky to deliver Catherine H.

PHOTO COURTESY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. Sordoni Art Gallery Features Work by Chad Stanley and James Lennox Chad Stanley and James Lennox work in very different academic disciplines at Wilkes. But the two share something in common: creating visual art. Stanley teaches composition and literature as associate professor of English. Lennox advises senior engineering students as director of instrumentation in the College of Science and Engineering. Their artwork is being exhibited through December 2013 at the Sordoni Art Gallery. Stanley began studying painting at Pratt Institute before transferring to Syracuse University for a broader liberal arts education. After switching his major several times, he found English the best fit. Yet his interest in painting never waned. Stanley prefers painting oil on canvas, culling literature for subject matter. He incorporates art and his artwork into the English courses he teaches. Students write analytical papers focusing on paintings or photographs. He also presents his paintings—which have literary themes—to his classes as visual commentaries about the reading list. Stanley says, “These options do not ever replace writing as our fundamental medium of analyzing and responding to literature; they simply broaden the range of ways of engaging with written texts.” Lennox has sculpted 3-D work in wood and metal for more than 25 years. His interest in art and drawing began in childhood. During a stint in the U.S. Air Force in the 1980s, he realized that he wanted to pursue an artistic career. After his military service, Lennox took a 3-D design class at Wilkes with Herb Simon and has been sculpting ever since. The majority of his work uses hollow-form sheet metal, but he incorporates other elements when he finds that insufficient to complete a project. Lennox says, “For me, being an artist is a way of life; I really do not have a choice. I have always been creative and “Coleridge and the it has helped me throughout all of my Albatross,” top, is a painting by Chad Stanley, associate various careers and experiences.” – By Francisco Tutella professor of English.

The hard-working biology major is as passionate about his goal of becoming a physician assistant as he is about becoming a finalist in the NCAA Championship. His commitment has earned him recognition academically and athletically. He is a member of the Colonels Elite, a program for Wilkes student athletes who have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or higher. Krawchuk also finished his junior year with a 29-4 overall mark on the wrestling team. The NCAA ranked him in the top five in the country throughout the 2013 season, marking the fifth straight year that Wilkes produced an All-American and its second consecutive national finalist. Krawchuk came to Wilkes three years ago from Slatington, Pa. He was attracted to the college town atmosphere at Wilkes, which was a departure from living in rural northern Lehigh County on an acre of land. Krawchuk also discovered the significant focus on community service at Wilkes was perfect for him. “I was introduced to Women Empowered by Science during my freshman foundations course,” he says. Krawchuk enjoyed working with the program’s summer camp, which provides girls entering seventh or eighth grade the opportunity to explore science through hands-on laboratories and activities. Jon Laudenslager, Wilkes head wrestling coach, looks forward to watching Krawchuk become a national champion this year and continue his strong leadership skills. “Kris has a great combination of work ethic and desire to be very successful,” says Laudenslager. “When you have goals and are willing to pay the overall price and sacrifice to accomplish them, you give yourself a great chance to do what Kris has done.” He is applying to several graduate programs to become a physician assistant after graduating from Wilkes in May 2014. Through his Wilkes experience, Krawchuk has found the perfect way to strike a balance in life. Senior Kris Krawchuk is an All-American wrestler and brings his dedication into the biology lab. PHOTO BY CURTIS SALONICK WILKES | Fall 2013 Krawchuk continues to place a priority on his work in the sciences. He spent summer 2013 at Wilkes performing genetics research on fruit flies, applying different techniques to study the epidermal growth factor receptor, which exhibits behavior characteristic to many forms of cancer. Under the direction of Lisa Kadlec, associate professor of biology, Krawchuk and his cohort worked with characterizing genes, comparing them with genes of known function in humans. 5 �Stelios Patsiokas ’75 helped develop the technology that made satellite radio fly WILKES | Fall 2013 By Geoff Gehman 6 Stelios Patsiokas ’75, chief innovation officer and corporate vice president for Sirius XM Radio, displays the compact technology designed by his team to bring satellite radio to consumers. Behind him, older, more traditional circuitry provides the backdrop. PHOTO BY JOHN RICKSEN �For the next six weeks he ran a technological boot camp that could have been nicknamed “Stell’s Hell.” Patsiokas fed his troops gourmet cuisine to boost their efficiency and enthusiasm while they worked around the clock. He kept their passports so they wouldn’t leave before finishing their jobs to his satisfaction. After 40 days they had become a lean, mean fighting machine. After 40 nights they had roughed out a system that would allow satellite radio to fly. Thirteen years and many patents later, Patsiokas remains a leader of a revolution in audio entertainment. He is the chief innovation officer and corporate vice president of Sirius XM Radio, the nexus of satellite radio. He’s largely responsible for the devices—microchips, radios, receivers, antennae--that enable nearly 25 million subscribers to tune into everything from the Metropolitan Opera to the Grateful Dead, The Catholic Channel to Cosmo Radio. You can thank him for crystal-clear, constant reception of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race while you’re barreling through a small tunnel. Patsiokas has guided satellite radio through a costly competition, a market-saving merger and a boom in wireless links to smarter phones and cars. “It’s one of those rewarding experiences whereby you take a white sheet and turn it into an industrychanging, life-changing concept,” says the expert in radio-waves propagation. “It’s been a tremendous journey, a beautiful trip.” WILKES | Fall 2013 Stelios Patsiokas ’75 was tired of his engineers arguing at cross-purposes across the globe. Hoping to improve productivity through unity, he summoned them from Canada, Germany and Italy to his command center in Florida. 7 �/.. . ·.... . ,... . •.. •• ,,:·). . . . . . .. .·.• . .. . .: . Patsiokas grew up in Serres, Greece, where he listened to Top 40 tunes on a leather-covered transistor radio under the bed covers. The salutatorian of his high-school class, he entered Wilkes on a tuition scholarship awarded to top international students to attend American colleges and universities. He arrived in Wilkes-Barre with a “dismal” knowledge of English, a disadvantage he soon turned into an advantage. Patsiokas knew he was in deep trouble when he opened the first page of a health textbook and jotted 150 words he didn’t know. Unable to understand his Physics I professor, he skipped classes and took exams with the help of a Greek-English dictionary. He received a B-plus, a testament to his superior science background and translating skills. After six months Patsiokas spoke passable English. He starred as a forward-center on the soccer team, receiving an automatic “A” in health given to exceptional athletes. He dated “nice” girls attracted by his “sexy” accent. And he partied hardy. “Let’s just say,” he says, that Wilkes dorms in the early ’70s had “a great celebratory environment.” The celebration dimmed when Patsiokas learned he owed $620 for a semester’s worth of room and food. The bill shocked him largely because it equaled three months of salary for his father, a construction truck driver for the Greek government and a fan of radio shows featuring violins. The bill was eventually forgiven by then-Dean George Ralston. Patsiokas decided to knuckle down and buckle up. He worked for the Wilkes foreignstudent program. He pumped gas, earning the “heavenly” sum of $3.20 an hour. He switched majors from pre-med to electrical engineering, which had fewer English words and more universal technical terms. He became a devoted student, inspired by “holy mackerel” courses in electronic circuits, electromagnetic fields and early software. “I looked at myself in the mirror and said: ‘Are you going to be a bum or are you going to become someone?’ I had a total transformation. I went from a party guy to a monk.” After “the four best years of my life,” Patsiokas entered the doctoral program in electrical engineering at Virginia Tech University. After receiving his doctorate in 1979, he began working at Motorola, . ·. • ... . •· .: . . .. • .. •••• •. .. . . . . • ••• ...•• • • .. . •• • •• • • ,~ . • .• •• •• • • attracted by the Florida climate and the chance to develop groundbreaking communication devices for an electronics giant. For Patsiokas and Motorola, the next 20 years were a golden age. He supervised the system performance of the first digital telephone, a “poor man’s cell” activated at public wireless booths. He helped launch the first two-way pager with an operating system, an embryonic Blackberry that “was very, very slow but nevertheless way before its time.” Patsiokas says he was assigned to rescue the pager after a year of stagnation caused by conflict. He fired troublemakers, united software and hardware specialists, made partners of enemies. “You’ve got to have tremendous engineering talent under you,” he says. “You have to make decisions quickly. You have to have thick skin. Sometimes you get it right, and sometimes you get it wrong. Sometimes it’s one step forward, and sometimes it’s two steps backwards.” By 1998 the golden age at Motorola had been tarnished by low morale. A headhunter convinced Patsiokas to interview with Hugh Panero, the CEO of a fledgling company later called XM Satellite Radio. The year before the company had received a license for satelliteradio frequencies along with Sirius Satellite Radio, its future rival. Patsiokas met with Panero at XM headquarters in Washington, D.C. He told the CEO that he doubted that satellites 22,000 miles above the earth could prevent obstructions—trees, tunnels, towers—from muting or silencing radio signals. “I said: ‘No way it’s going to fly.’ Hugh asked me: ‘So why the hell are you here?’ I told him:‘Well, I wanted to visit the Smithsonian...’ ” Patsiokas leavened the joke by requesting a month to make his decision. In September 1998 he asked XM technicians a blunt question: How could satellite radio work effectively among skyscrapers in Manhattan? Their answer: a terrestrial network, set up specifically for dense downtowns, with radio receivers that blocked bad signals and combined good signals, constructing constantly clear channels. “Right there and then I said ‘Thank you very much,’ ” says Patsiokas. “And I walked out to tell Hugh: ‘I’m your man.’ ” “I looked at myself in the mirror and said: ‘Are you going to be a bum or are you going to become someone?’” ■ 8 • • . .· • . .

JOHNSON “I didn’t realize that, even though people have disabilities and their lives are different, there is still a tremendous amount of joy” As a member of the board of directors for Avenues—a Pottsville, Pa.,-based organization that helps disabled individuals improve their work skills and their quality of life—Elko was aware that job opportunities for such individuals are limited. Emma’s Friends was founded to creatively and purposefully employ individuals with special needs. Part of Emma’s Friends mission, Elko says, is advocating greater understanding of such individuals. Elko believes every person she can touch now “will be someone who will be more accepting of our friends today and Emma tomorrow.” Being a mother is still her top priority. “Emma is nonverbal, meaning she is not able to speak, but she lets me know when I’m working too much. Two years ago, around Christmas, our busiest time of the year, I wasn’t spending enough time with her. She made sure to let me know by just ignoring me. That hurt and was a big wake-up call,” Elko says. “I make sure to put her to bed every night. I cuddle with her every night. She wants that quality time every day. I play with her and tickle her and make her laugh, and if I don’t, she lets me know. Which is good. I think a lot of kids whose parents have businesses don’t express that. They have all these filters that keep them from expressing what they really feel, telling them, ‘You’re supposed to be a good kid. You’re supposed to behave.’ Emma doesn’t have that. In a way, we’re very fortunate that she’s so transparent, because it can be hard to balance things. Regardless, she is and will always be my first priority.” WILKES | Fall 2013 for teachers based in Warminster, Pa. She left the company in 2004 to dedicate more time to Emma, now 11 years old. Therapists and teachers were an integral part of Emma’s life and they, indirectly, provided Elko with a surprising new career path. “I started making gifts for her therapists. I spent a lot of time baking treats and eventually started thinking there had to be something better. Then one day I was in the grocery store and I saw an issue of Martha Stewart’s magazine about soaps and I picked it up thinking I’d give it a try,” Elko says. She began making soap as thank-you gifts. Before long, Elko found the demand for her creations growing—so much so that, in 2008, her newfound hobby turned into a full-fledged business called Emma’s Friends Soaps & Lotions. Since then, Elko’s handcrafted, all-natural product line has expanded to lotions, scented sprays and even pet shampoos. Her items can be found in stores in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, California, including Elko’s own shops in Tamaqua, Pa., and West Hazleton, Pa. She also sells at juried craft shows and online at www.emmasfriends.com. Looking back, Elko admits she never expected her gift-giving endeavor to evolve the way it has. “I spent about two to three years experimenting with different oils and their properties, learning about the oils and how they combine to create different types of soap, developing my own special formulas,” Elko explains, pointing out that her prior background as a communication studies and political science major at Wilkes didn’t quite prepare her for the business of making soaps. “I love research, though. I love to read. And thankfully my husband was a wonderful critic,” she adds with a laugh. While the name “Emma’s Friends” initially referred to the teachers and therapists receiving Elko’s creations, the name now has a double meaning, referring also to the people Emma’s Friends employs, all of whom have intellectual disabilities. These friends wrap and package all the soaps and also make, bottle and label all the dry bath products. 17 �I Wilkes doctor of nursing practice grad Josh Martin applies his education in remote regions WILKES | Fall 2013 by Helen Kaiser 18 Top, military personnel practice evacuations required in the field.

The 39-year-old served as a U.S. Air Force pararescueman from 1993 to 2001, with multiple deployments in “You’re caring for a patient who may or may Southwest Asia and North Africa. “My primary role as a pararescueman was not have good mental capabilities, who was to save lives and aid the injured in hostile, non-permissive and austere environments,” likely in bad shape before being wounded.” he says. Translated, that would mean tasks like parachuting from a C-130 aircraft into the middle of the ocean, with limited medical capabilities. “You’re trying to provide good wound care, feeding, hydrating and keeping him warm until he can be rescued,” he explains. To qualify for pararescue, Martin spent more than 30 months in rigorous military training—first to become an emergency medical technician. That training was supplemented with crucial instruction that included helicopter-parachute rescue, advanced land navigation, small arms weapons handling, survival techniques, chemical warfare survival, advanced trauma life support, land and water parachute landings and scuba diving. Joshua Martin DNP ’13, Petoskey, Mich. B.S., Business Studies, Davenport University The wilderness training helped medics to assess whether medical evacuations—dangerous to both flight crews and soldiers—were actually needed. Martin cited the outcomes from the training in his research project, which compared outcomes in traditional emergency medical training programs with those in a hybrid program such as the one he offers for wilderness training. Wilkes Assistant Professor of Nursing Kathleen Hirthler taught three of Martin’s doctoral courses and served as his scholarly project chairperson. “Josh is accomplished in a unique way,” she says. “I expect he will be a leader in finding new ways of providing safe, quality care for populations requiring wilderness medicine. The doctorate will help him to influence his field through sound application of evidence-based research.” Martin agrees, saying, “These days there is a drive to keep patients out of the hospital,” he says, “so we need to teach them self-care and how to recognize when they are starting to fail before their conditions get too serious. The same holds true for healthy people who might be mountaineering in cold or desert-like conditions. They need to recognize their limits.” 19 WILKES | Fall 2013 M.S., Nursing, Grand Valley State University Doctor of Nursing Practice, Wilkes wilderness medicine training company Career: President and CEO of Northern Cairn, LLC, a Notable: Served eight years as a U.S. Air Force pararescueman, giving him expertise in wilderness medicine. 0 �alumni news Alumni Association Board Welcomes Five New Members JESSICA SHORT ’13 The Wilkes University Alumni Association welcomed five new alumni members in June to its Board of Directors. In the following question-and-answer profiles, the new members share their motivations for getting involved with the Alumni Association. Their class years and occupations may vary, but they all have one thing in common: a love of Wilkes University and the desire to give back to their alma mater. Clifford Township, Pa. GABE LEDONNE ’05 News desk manager, SNL Financial, Blakely, Pa. Student development graduate assistant, Wilkes University, Bachelor of Arts, Elementary Education, Early Childhood Education Certification, Reading Minor Being on the Homecoming student team all four years of college had a major influence on my desire to be involved with the Alumni Association after graduation. I am thankful for my Wilkes education and have great pride in my school, making me want to give back and make it a better place for incoming students. Because I was so involved, I could not leave the University without having some kind of tie to the school. Bachelor of Arts, Communication Studies, English I’ve always wanted to continue to be a part of Wilkes after graduating. During my time at the University, I received a lot of great support and guidance from faculty, administrators, staff and others. Wilkes has a great sense of community, and I feel that serving as an alumni board member gives me an opportunity to be a bigger part of that community and to contribute to it. P. CHRISTOPHER SOMMER ’94 Entrepreneur, Wilmington, Del. Bachelor of Science, Accounting When President Leahy came on board with Wilkes, I saw this as a catalyst for change and an opportunity to develop the leadership of the University. I wanted to be involved with the momentum to advance the institution. ROB BURNS ’64 Trial attorney, Piermont, N.Y.

I became active in the Alumni Association because I still have a special place in my heart for my time at Wilkes, even after almost 50 years. Wilkes, with its small student body; teachers who were not only devoted in the classroom but who also came to social events; and my participation in wrestling and student government really helped to shape my life. 20 LLC), Parsippany, N.J. Bachelor of Science, Accounting; Bachelor of Business Administration, Business Management As a student at Wilkes, I was extremely involved in campus life. I decided to join the Alumni Board so that I could keep a strong connection to campus and the events that affect Wilkes. As a member of the Alumni Association Board, I look forward to having the opportunity to foster relationships with alumni and help keep recent alumni engaged. The board does important work with advancement and mentoring and I hope to contribute to its goals in any way possible. �giving back Investing in the Future Louise Hazeltine ’44 and Ray Dombroski ’78 honor faculty, benefit students with gifts to Cohen Science Center “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” – Benjamin Franklin 0 Louise Hazeltine ’44 Retired nurse in the New York Hospital and associate dean and director of the division of education at Cornell School of Nursing Trucksville, Pa. Bachelor of Arts, Nursing, Cornell University Master of Science, New York University 0 Ray Dombroski ’78 Senior Vice President, Product Development 0 0 and Deployment Comcast Corp., Malvern, Pa. Bachelor of Science, Electrical Engineering, Wilkes University We decided to make a gift because I believe in the mission of Wilkes University and its strong commitment to the region and excellence in its programs. It was a way to show gratitude for my experience at Wilkes and to ‘pay it forward’ to future students.” Like Dombroski, Louise Hazeltine ’44 is providing opportunities for current science students at Wilkes while honoring the faculty members who helped her achieve success. Her gift recognizes biology teachers Charles B. Reif and Lenore Ward, who, Hazeltine says, were invaluable in her pursuit of a science education at Bucknell Junior College in the early 1940s. “Dr. Reif had a good sense of humor and got us all interested in science. I remember his great attention to detail when he prepared slides to view under a microscope. Dr. Ward made even the most reluctant students enjoy the courses she taught, even when they required us to dissect a cat... They challenged us to become excellent students.” Hazeltine says that the greatest impact that these two individuals had on her was “instilling the need to be meticulous.” Mastering this skill served Hazeltine well; she went on to work as a registered nurse at the New York Hospital, earn a master’s degree at New York University and serve as associate dean and director of the division of education at Cornell School of Nursing. “I am pleased to support a space for the next generation as they study to become the best students possible,” she says. WILKES | Fall 2013 A plaque on the third floor of the Cohen Science Center that displays Franklin’s quote reminds students, faculty and staff of the long-term benefits of education. The message becomes even more meaningful when you read the words that accompany it – “In Memory of Umid R. Nejib, Ph.D., Professor, 1965-2002.” The plaque represents a gift by Ray Dombroski ’78 and his wife, Colleen DeMorat, to Wilkes to honor Nejib, Dombroski’s former engineering professor. “The influence of Professor Nejib was important while I was a student, but the real value of my interactions with him only became obvious over time, well after graduation.” Dombroski, a senior vice president of product development and deployment for Comcast Corp., believes that education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics is critical to the economy and global competitiveness. “Having up-to-date lab facilities is an important facet of such an education. As a Wilkes student in the mid-1970s, when Stark Learning Center was built, I recognized that it was time to update the facilities.” 21 �class notes Tom Ralston ’80 Survives Boston Marathon Bombing Tom Ralston ’80 moved to Boston shortly after graduating from Wilkes. It’s a city he’s grown to love. “Everything about Boston is historical, in one way or another—and I love history,” says Ralston, president of the Wilkes University Alumni Association and a fundraiser for Bentley University. Ralston’s personal history merged with his adopted city’s when he was an eyewitness and victim at the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon bombing. Taking part in the merrymaking at the marathon has long been a tradition for Ralston. “I think I’ve only missed getting to the marathon twice in the 33 years that I’ve lived there,” says Ralston. This year’s event found him strolling by himself on Boylston Street among celebrants near the finish line; Tom Ralston ’80 kneels at the temporary memorial at Copley Square for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. The memorial has been moved to the Boston Historical Society. Ralston, who was injured in the bombing, is serving on a committee to determine how the city will mark the anniversary of the event in the future.

At the hospital, doctors removed “I was enjoying the whole atmosphere when I heard the first explosion to my left, about a block and a half away,” he recalls. Thinking that perhaps the large jumbotron televising the race had exploded, he moved in that direction. Ten to 12 seconds later, the second bomb exploded. “I couldn’t have been more than 12 to 15 feet from it,” Ralston says.

It’s a way to maintain their Wilkes friendships. Bart Hauser ’70, John Squeri ’70, Jack Mulligan ’70, Ken Ganser ’70, Len Surdi ’70, Jim Darlington ’70, Bob Tarone ’71 and David Silberman ’70, residents of the Grissom Hall section of Pickering Hall, get together once a year to see a major league baseball game. The group has visited 13 cities with hopes of visiting all 30 major league baseball teams during their lifetimes. Graduate Degrees 2007 Jennifer Freed MFA recently published her young adult historical fiction novel The Last Encampment with Northampton Press. The idea surfaced in the mid-90s when a few of them decided to go to Chicago and catch a Cubs game. A trip to see the Baltimore Orioles followed the next year. The group came back to Wilkes for their 30th class reunion in 2000. That same year, after a trip to a Boston Red Sox game, they decided to make it a yearly tradition to visit a major league baseball stadium together. The group has visited St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Boston and a minor league game in Memphis. This year, the men went to Toronto to see the Toronto Blue Jays, and next year they plan to visit New York to see the new Yankees Stadium. “It’s just a group decision that we sit around and talk and usually one guy says, ‘Well, let’s go to this place,’ and we basically all agree to it,” Silberman says, adding that the desire to get together is as important as the location.

Leahy Vice President for Advancement Michael Wood S ince becoming president of Wilkes, many alumni have heard me say that we can become one of the finest universities, not just in this region, but in this nation. That can only happen if we have a clear sense of direction and an understanding of how we will get there. With the completion of Gateway to the Future: The Wilkes University Strategic Plan 2014-2020, we are ready to continue this journey. Our new strategic plan focuses on six key themes: 1. Foster Excellence in Academic Programs: As a University dedicated to student success and lifelong learning, Wilkes must continue to develop programs that transform students’ lives. 2. Invest in Our People: Since faculty, staff and alumni are our most important assets in transforming the lives of our students, Wilkes must continue to invest in these relationships. 3. Recruit, Retain, Place and Graduate Undergraduate and Graduate Students: As an enrollment-dependent institution, Wilkes must make the most of its opportunities to increase enrollment of undergraduate and graduate students, recruiting these students from an increasingly wide area. 4. Improve Our Financial Strength: With the cost of attendance reaching a tipping point, Wilkes must strengthen and diversify its ability to generate and manage resources. 5. Strengthen Our Campus Infrastructure: With intensifying competition for students, Wilkes must ensure that we have the facilities and resources that our faculty, staff, and students need to excel. 6. Support Efforts at Redeveloping Downtown Wilkes-Barre: As an anchor in the center of Wilkes-Barre, Wilkes must continue to be a force for positive economic, cultural and social development in its community. Wilkes President Patrick F. Leahy shares his vision for the University at the first Founders Gala. This message allows me to provide only the briefest of overviews of this dynamic plan. I invite you to visit www.wilkes.edu and click on “About Wilkes.” Under a link for Leadership, you will be able to read the plan in its entirety. It is an ambitious plan. But, as the poet, Goethe, said: “Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.” At Wilkes, we have big dreams, and we’ll need everyone in order to realize them. Please join me in supporting these efforts. Dr. Patrick F.

PHOTOS BY STEVE HUSTED WILKES | Fall 2014 Wilkes Receives $3 Million in State Funding for Engineering Labs The future of engineering education at Wilkes received a boost with a transformative gift from the state of Pennsylvania. Gov. Tom Corbett announced that the University is receiving a $3 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) grant for engineering labs in the College of Science and Engineering. The grant, which requires Wilkes to match the funding, will be used to make $6 million in improvements “The laboratories that we create from this funding will allow us to continue our goal of providing students with the facilities and opportunities of a much larger institution in the intimate setting of a liberal arts college,” Wilkes President Patrick Leahy said. “It also will allow us to continue our commitment to support the city of Wilkes-Barre and the region. We will do that by sharing these facilities with our industrial partners.” Because of the interdisciplinary nature of research, science students outside of the engineering major will have opportunities to use the labs, Leahy said. The money will fund renovations to the Stark Learning Center— including creation or upgrading of three new high-tech laboratories for research and development. The labs are: The Nanotechnology Laboratory will be a multi-disciplinary, state-of-the art-facility to support teaching and research in microelectronics and nanotechnology. Nanotechnology, one of the most cutting-edge areas of research, involves understanding and controlling matter at an extremely small scale. The state funding will allow Wilkes to make optimum use of $500,000 in nanotechnology equipment already donated to the University by Fairchild Semiconductor of Mountaintop, Pa. The Additive Manufacturing Laboratory will be an integral part of the Applied Manufacturing Center. Additive manufacturing includes emerging fields like 3-D printing and developing automated processes that allow precise manufacturing at high volumes. The Bioengineering Laboratory will provide for advanced work and research in the fields of microscopy, robotics and computational sciences. Wilkes offers a master’s degree in bioengineering. 2 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 2 10/6/14 9:15 PM �on campus New Director and New Direction at Allan P. Kirby Center Wilkes’ Allan P.

His vision for a new direction for the Allan P. Kirby Center promises to transform entrepreneurial education at the University and impact the development of new enterprises in the region.” The Allan P. Kirby Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship was established in 1993 with a focus on teaching the principles of free enterprise and entrepreneurship. The center’s core mission is to educate and encourage young people with the vision, ambition and agility to launch and run the businesses of the future. An annual lecture series, The Allan P. Kirby Lecture in Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, has brought leading experts in business and politics to the campus and community. 3 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 3 10/6/14 9:15 PM �on campus Distinct School of Nursing Established Beginning With 2014-2015 Academic Year Wilkes Debuts New Web Site Wilkes has established a distinct School of Nursing, becoming the only higher education institution with a separate nursing school in northeast Pennsylvania. The move, which began with the start of the 2014-2015 academic year, allows Wilkes to better respond to a growing demand for nursing programs regionally and nationally. Anne A. Skleder, senior vice president and provost, said that the move allows for a stronger focus on nursing education and reflects Wilkes’ larger academic mission. “Creating a separate Wilkes University School of Nursing will add to the University’s unique academic footprint. Wilkes will have seven separate schools and colleges similar to a much larger university but our programs will be offered in the mentoring culture of a small liberal arts university,” Skleder said. Skleder also announced that Deborah Zbegner Deborah A. Zbegner is interim dean of the School of Nursing. Zbegner, who had served as director of Wilkes graduate nursing programs, will provide leadership and guidance over undergraduate and graduate programs. A national search for a permanent dean will be conducted in the coming year. Wilkes’ undergraduate and graduate nursing programs grew significantly over the last few years. Additional growth is expected due to an expanding job market for nurses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects nursing jobs to increase by 19.4 percent by 2022.

Pharmacy Professor Eric Wright Studies Role of Community Pharmacists in Health Care Eric Wright, associate professor of pharmacy practice, has received a $600,000 research grant from the National Association of Chain Drugstores Foundation to expand the role of community pharmacists within the health care team. Wright is partnering with Geisinger Health System and participating pharmacies Eric Wright in central and northeastern Pennsylvania in conducting the study. “This research is focused on how we can expand the role of the pharmacist to reduce the rate of 30-day readmissions among high-risk patients,” says Wright, principal investigator, who holds a joint appointment as a faculty member in the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy at Wilkes and research investigator at Geisinger’s Center for Health Research. “Our goal is to significantly reduce the percentage of patients readmitted with high-risk conditions, such as heart attack, pneumonia, heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by June 2016.” Wright explained that some readmissions are due to medication errors, adverse reactions to medication or lack of adherence. Wright will analyze what he calls a “warm handoff,” which occurs when a hospital pharmacist forwards a discharged patient’s medical information to the patient’s preferred pharmacist. Provided with this information, the community pharmacist can better evaluate a patient’s medication needs. The pharmacist can then perform an extra consultation with the patient to ensure he or she understands prescription information, when and how to take the drug and its possible side effects. 4 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 4 10/6/14 9:15 PM �athletics PRESCRIPTION FOR SUCCESS Colonels Defensive Back Omar Richardson Balances Responsibilities By Bill Thomas ’13 Omar Richardson is thinking about the future. Specifically, he’s thinking about his post-graduate plans to pursue a two-year residency specializing in oncology after completing his doctor of pharmacy degree in 2016. It’s a specialization that holds personal resonance for Richardson. “I got into pharmacy because I always liked chemistry, and my dad is in the medical field too, so that influenced me a lot. But my main reason for getting into the healthcare field is to give back to people who have cancer,” says Richardson, whose father commutes to a job as a CT scan technician in Brooklyn. “I’ve lost multiple family members to cancer and I still have family members winning the fight against cancer. I’ve lost my grandfather, aunt and cousins, and I have two aunts right now who are winning the battle against cancer. I don’t mind telling people about my family’s battle with cancer because it’s what motivates me to do well in school and reach my goals.” Staying motivated is key for Richardson. Not only is the East Stroudsburg native enrolled in a challenging major at Wilkes, he’s also a defensive back for the school’s football team. Many students would find maintaining the balance between such demanding priorities to be an obstacle. For Richardson, though, the level of time management required to maintain a rigid schedule of classes, labs and athletic practice is just what he needs to keep him grounded. “My first semester of college was rough. That was the only semester I didn’t play football,” Richardson says. “My lowest GPA was my first semester, but once I started playing football, I started doing way better. It actually got easier for me. “...my main reason for getting into the healthcare field is to give back to people who have cancer.” Omar Richardson is playing his final season for the Colonels. PHOTO BY CURTIS SALONICK It gives me less time to play around and procrastinate. It helps me focus, knowing I have to do this, this and this, in this amount of time.” That focus has earned Richardson a regular spot on the dean’s list. It also earned him a place on the 2014 USA College Football Division III Pre-Season All-American Second Team – Defense. Despite all this, Richardson is quick to admit that he wasn’t always a model student, nor a star athlete. “I actually got into sports as a consequence for my behavior. I used to get into trouble here and there at school, so the principal advised my parents to put me in a sport, which changed my life as I know it,” he says. “Football has been my number-one sport since 7th grade. I chose football over all other sports because football opened many doors for me, from an athletic acknowledgement standpoint to a tool to use to better my academic standing.” He says he’ll miss the sport that’s given him so many opportunities. WILKES | Fall 2014 – Omar Richardson 5 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 5 10/6/14 9:15 PM �PROFESSIONAL Alumni and Faculty Predict Future Trends In Their Fields -------------------➔ By Helen Kaiser Ask 10 business experts to predict the future of their industries— and get 10 different answers. Ask Justin Matus, assistant professor and director of the MBA program in the Jay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership, and he boils it down to one point. “We always have winners and losers in business,” Matus says. “The winners are the ones who find the way to match their strengths to the demands of the market place. This fundamental will not change.” Even as the fundamentals of business success remain constant, the means to achieve it continue to evolve. As the Sidhu School of Business and Leadership marks its 10th anniversary, Wilkes magazine takes this opportunity to reach out to business faculty and successful business alumni. We asked them what changes we can expect to see WILKES | Fall 2014 in their fields over the next decade. Their insights echo certain themes—including the continued globalization of business, rapid increases in technology and the development of products and services individually tailored to the consumer-driven market. The experts also anticipate there will be a critical need for workers to become lifelong learners and to develop skills to become sensitive leaders. Here are their insights: 6 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 6 10/6/14 9:15 PM �JEFFREY R. ALVES Dean, Jay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership Professor of Entrepreneurship Wilkes University Expertise: Entrepreneurship JOHN CEFALY ’70 Executive Vice Chairman, Brokerage Division Cushman & Wakefield Inc.   Expertise: Commercial Real Estate The real estate industry historically has been a very local business with local customs and traditions of how business is serviced and conducted. Presently, however, it is evolving and will continue to evolve into a more global business. Practices are being standardized as international organizations gain a much greater foothold in the marketplace. We must make adjustments in how these organizations are serviced. Transactions with compensation earned as deals are completed will ultimately evolve into a model where compensation will be less risk oriented and will be based more on fees as a result of ongoing advisory business. In other words, brokers will less likely be earning commissions as opposed to earning fees based on advice and strategy. Transactions will be only part of what a real estate firm will be compensated for. In order to serve the large international firms, a global platform will be required. Major real estate firms will need to be all things to all companies—providing top-down to bottom-up services starting with advice and strategy, business consulting, benchmarking and best practices to ongoing maintenance of the client’s facilities. The need and use of technology has expedited this process. Fewer people will be needed to service these accounts as technology will connect the various far-flung offices of these international mega firms. DAN CARDELL ’79 Chairman Chicago Quantitative Alliance Expertise: Investment Management In the past 20 years, there has been a movement toward the use of more quantitative methods in the investment management process. This “quantification” has been driven primarily by rapid changes in the computing power available to professional investors. This trend toward the use of more quantitative techniques will not only continue, but also will accelerate in the upcoming years. As a result of these changes, investment firms will require exceptional skills in the fields of mathematics, statistics and computer science. The days of subjective decision making based on a “gut feeling” are long gone. Today’s markets are driven by hard data and algorithms written by Ph.D.s with advanced programming and data management skills. Portfolio decisions are likely to be driven by probability-based, multi-factored models, and trading strategies are now measured in micro-seconds. The investment business has also become increasingly global, requiring around the clock trading strategies and an understanding of international business relationships, currencies and worldwide economic trends.  WILKES | Fall 2014 I have had the good fortune of serving on the executive committees and as president of the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE) and more recently the International Council for Small Business (ICSB).  Since my early involvement with entrepreneurship education in 1978, we have seen entrepreneurship evolve from a concept focused on creating value through the launch and growth of businesses to the recognition that entrepreneurial thinking and attitudes are important and pervasive in many areas of our lives, both here and around the world.   We are seeing this in the United States as public and private support for entrepreneurial activities expands, both for micro and high-potential ventures.  Indeed, public policy has moved in the direction of advocating entrepreneurship as the generator of economic development. Globally we are seeing the same thing.  What is fascinating and encouraging is the fact that this “entrepreneurial revolution” is occurring in countries with the full range of political philosophies and systems—from democratic to dictator to socialist and communist and from developed to developing countries.  Entrepreneurship is helping to level the playing field between the classes, ethnic groups and sexes.   7 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 7 10/6/14 9:15 PM �DENISE CESARE ’77 President & CEO, Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania Expertise: Health Care ANTHONY J. DaRe ’00 WILKES | Fall 2014 Agency Principal Within the last several years, we have seen a definitive movement to consumerism and a retail market within the health care sector. This shift to a more consumer driven market will continue to have an impact on all sectors of the health care industry: patients/consumers, employers, providers, health insurers, drug manufacturers and government. Coupled with the move to a consumer-centric focus will be the continued aging of the population (in particular, the baby-boomer generation), resulting in an increased demand for health care. Over the next decade, we can expect to see changes designed to improve both the value and convenience of the patient experience. As consumers are becoming increasingly responsible for larger portions of their health care costs, we’ll definitely see investments in technology aimed at assisting the consumer in comparison shopping for both providers and health plans, and decreasing the hassle involved with both financing and delivery. Consumers can expect improvements in transparency tools to assist in choice of provider, showing cost and outcome information; as well as advances in telemedicine, allowing the patient to receive care in lower cost settings, including at home, without sacrificing quality. More employers will increase offerings of their own private insurance exchanges, or participate in regional or national exchanges, to have greater control over benefit offerings and provider networks to appeal to their employees. Payers (i.e. insurers) and providers are already dealing with a significant increase in the amount of regulation and oversight as a result of the recently implemented Affordable Care Act. We can expect to see continued consolidation as well as integration, both within and among these sectors. With the increased attention to cost to consumers, both payers and providers need to achieve efficiency and scale to compete for consumer choice. This means not only administrative efficiency within all of the health care sectors, but also efficiency in managing the patient. There will be a push toward leveraging clinical data for patient management and improved experiences. “We’ll definitely see investments in technology aimed at assisting the consumer in comparison shopping for both providers and health plans.” BSI Corporate Benefits LLC. Expertise: Employee benefits/health care Over the next decade, the courts will decide what health care reform ultimately looks like. It will still be around in 10 years, but it will change quite a bit based on changing Washington, D.C., administrations and various court decisions. There are certain fundamentals that every company looking to remain competitive and control the bottom line should follow in regards to employee benefits and health care over the next decade. “Skin in the game:” For employees, deductibles and co-pays will continue to rise; and the popularity of Health Savings Accounts will continue to explode and most likely take over the majority of the market. The concept is simple: does an employee care what an MRI costs if the cost out of their pocket is zero or minimal? Absolutely not. Will an employee care about the cost of an MRI if it’s his money? Absolutely. For employers, self-funding will continue to rise in popularity. Self-funding allows an employer to take control of medical spending with protection via stop-loss insurance. We will see employers taking the lead in controlling health care costs by negotiating directly with hospitals. Large employers will do it directly; smaller companies will do it collectively through various consortiums. Insurance companies currently handle this responsibility, and they do not do it well. The employers who ultimately pay the claims are not just going to sit at that table, they are going to own the table. Transparency: Not many people know that the cost of an MRI in the same machine varies greatly from place to place. In the next 10 years, everyone will know. Employees will care about cost (see above), and technology will be available for not just price comparison, but also quality comparison at the click of a button. Need a prescription drug? Type it into your smartphone and find out which pharmacies carry the medicine, how much it costs, and how far away from you it is. The power of the consumer is coming to health care in a major way. Ten years and 10,000 per day: That is the number of baby boomers who will turn 65 every day for the next decade. They are living longer; they are working longer, and their health care costs are going to skyrocket. How does our current health care system accommodate them and who is going to subsidize the cost of their care are major questions to resolve. 8 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 8 10/6/14 9:15 PM �KATHLEEN HOULIHAN ’95, MBA ’01 Assistant Professor of Management Information Systems and Marketing  Jay S. Sidhu School of Business Expertise: Social Media and Business Senior Vice President, General Mills President, General Mills Canada Expertise: Global Food Manufacturing At General Mills, our product offerings and business model are constantly evolving to meet consumer demand around the globe. No longer is packaged food “one size fits all.” Consumers today want differentiated products that are tailored to meet their individual needs, ranging from taste to convenience to nutritional value to sustainability to social responsibility and more. As a company, our key strategy to counter these changes is focusing tightly on our consumers—what they like to eat, where they like to shop and how they approach cooking today. As consumer preferences and shopper habits evolve, I believe the most successful companies will possess deep consumer empathy and be characterized by their high level of integrity, transparency, agility and nimbleness and best-in-class speed to market. In order to achieve these measures of success, food manufacturers and retailers will need to place increased pressure on attracting and retaining talented employees across the business who are capable of dealing with a higher level of complexity. In the end, the ability to accurately assess unmet consumer needs proves you have a right to win and executing with brilliance will separate the winners from the also-rans. THE NEW SIDHU The opening of the 2014-2015 academic year saw the opening of a new home for the Sidhu School of Business and Leadership. The University Center on Main was transformed via a $3 million renovation into the school’s new headquarters. The building boasts a room that simulates a stock exchange trading floor complete with stock ticker, high-tech classrooms, faculty offices and meeting rooms for students.

WILKES | Fall 2014 DAVID DUDICK ’79 The word-of-mouth/social networking approach was very effective in the past (think Tupperware™ parties in the 1960s), and it will continue to generate sales for organizations in the future. New technologies in the area of social media, however, are now more focused on listening to customers and uncovering new ways of understanding consumer behavior than with creating social networks. Companies that have access to Big Data are more interested in mining existing social media channels and in comparing social media data with other types of data that exists in the company databases. Social media, meaning the use of digital social networking sites to create opportunities for educating the customer and for commerce, is only one of many tools that are emerging. Companies will also use new strategies to reach customers more effectively in the future. Two of these innovations are proximity marketing and tracking devices. Proximity marketing will allow businesses to identify the customer’s approximate age, gender and other traits. When a customer walks by a device in the store it will advertise products based on the customer’s characteristics. The computer will recognize who the best customers are for each product, and develop a database of what the purchase triggers are for each customer persona. Social media and other technologies will continue to evolve, and companies will continue to learn about their customers from listening. Organizations that are agile enough to meet customer needs will have the greatest chance of survival. 9 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 9 10/6/14 9:15 PM �JUSTIN MATUS Assistant Professor and Chair, Business Division Jay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership Expertise: Strategy I think the biggest change in the field of business strategy will be finding new ways to survive and thrive in a more global market. Specifically, there is a trend across all industries for more consolidation—not just within the United States, but across all countries on all of the continents. We are seeing bigger and bigger companies and less and less competition. The great unknown is what governments and policy makers will do in light of these trends.  There is already some pushback against corporations growing bigger and bigger (too big to fail), the lack of competition and the formation of what are essentially oligopolies and even duopolies.Yet the regulatory environment has thus far been rather tepid in trying to slow down the pace of these mergers, acquisitions and consolidations. As I look out over the horizon of 10 years and the effect this will have on “strategy,” I think in many ways it will be just like any other force on an industry. There will always be winners and losers. What may change is the how of winning. To use a sports metaphor, think about the game of football and the evolution of the forward pass. Can anyone imagine winning an NFL game today without a lot of passing? Yet 75 years ago the game of football was dominated by teams that primarily ran the football. In the business world today, the how of winning is typically simply having low prices or high-quality products. In the future a business may need to build its strategy around something else, perhaps by building a strong emotional connection to each customer through social media, data mining and semi-customized products and services. In the field of medicine we are not that far off from diagnosing patients through DNA testing and genetics at a very specific individual level, and soon we will be custom-manufacturing drugs for a specific patient such that each patient has a much nuanced diagnosis and treatment. In that same sense of individualism, strategy for the masses may go the way of football’s ground game of the 1930s and Wal-Mart’s everyday low prices of 2014.   THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS EDUCATION Over the past several decades, the United States has evolved from the preeminent world leader to one of the group of preeminent world leaders. Concurrently, both business practitioners and academics have witnessed the evolution of business over these decades as we have progressed— willingly or unwillingly—from an ethnocentric to a global business economy. During this time, our nation, perhaps because of its ongoing dominant role in world affairs, has been the country that has been the slowest to adopt a global perspective; and, as such, its businesses have also been the slowest to adjust to the challenges of a global economy. Unfortunately, U.S. institutions WILKES | Fall 2014 of higher education have been even slower to acknowledge the DAVID RALSTON ’69 Professor and Knight Ridder Research Fellow College of Business Florida International University changing face of business in the 21st century. Consequently, our institutions of higher education have lagged far behind the better universities of Europe and Asia in regard to the internationalization of business curricula. 10 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 10 10/6/14 9:15 PM �JAY S. SIDHU MBA ’73 Chairman and CEO, Customers Bank Expertise: Banking In my view, there are three main developments that will become more prominent in business or any kind of industry over the next decade. First, the development of authentic leadership will be a key need as we move toward more technological and less human interaction. The style of a leader will be important and different than it is today. Leaders and their employees will need to develop mutual trust and responsibility for meeting clear goals. With sophisticated methods of measuring employee performance and processes being used more and more, employers can know what their employees are doing all of the time. Just as during the Industrial Revolution when company measurements of how many widgets were being produced caused anxiety for employees, these new technologies may impact employees in the same way. Whether employees are working at home or elsewhere, leaders will need to use a higher level of human skill sets, because they will not have eyeball-to-eyeball contact to interact with and develop their team. Leaders will need to be much more sensitive to keep employees motivated and meeting goals and will need to reward them for performance. Secondly, we have only scratched the surface in the effective use of technology in white collar jobs. Technology will have a major impact not only in what we do and where we work, but in how we provide the highest level of service to our customers and how technology can be of better use to the corporate team. Thirdly, in the upcoming decade the pace of change will be three to five times faster than what we have seen in the last 10 years. We will need to be extremely passionate about continuous improvement and continuous learning. Twenty-five years ago, post-college learning was mainly on-the-job. Within the past five to 10 years it has come to mean what you pursue yourself—whether to improve your current credentials or to train for new employment after a job was eliminated. The ones who can adapt to this change will have a higher level of success. I believe the vision of the Sidhu School is completely aligned with educational needs of this changing environment. Its mission is not just to educate and develop the technical skill set or the core competences expected from business managers today, but to develop the human skills of authentic leaders that can adapt to all types of challenges in this rapidly changing environment. It’s a unique business school, one of its kind at least in the northeast United States.

WILKES | Fall 2014 Internationalization requires a modified curriculum and 11 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 11 10/6/14 9:15 PM �Nick Barno ’13 calls on a student in his classroom at Sri Utama School in Johor Bahrun, Malaysia. PHOTO COURTESY NICK BARNO Passport to Experience WILKES | Fall 2014 WILKES ALUMNI TEACH AT INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL IN MALAYSIA By Geoff Gehman The Chinese boy was overwhelmed at his new school in his new country of Malaysia. His screaming disturbed his teacher, Rebecca Gallaher ’12, who was already dealing with four Korean students with no English skills and others with suspected learning disabilities. Gallaher’s gut instinct told her that he would improve with more personal attention. She enlisted an unlikely classroom ally: the boy’s nanny. The nanny made sure he followed lessons properly and promptly. She admonished him to improve his awful handwriting. She even took notes so he wouldn’t have to decipher his own notes at home. The nanny experiment exceeded expectations. Daniel became a fine student, one of the best fourth-grade scientists. Gallaher predicts her “super adorable” pupil will prosper in fifth grade, where he’ll be taught by Kaitlyn McGurk ’12, her partner in a program that has sent Wilkes undergraduates to student teach at Sri Utama International School in Kuala Lumpur. McGurk, Gallaher and Nick Barno ’13 are the first Wilkes alumni to return to teach full time in Malaysia after student teaching there. The Wilkes exchange with Sri Utama began after Gina Morrison, an associate professor in Wilkes’ Division of Global History and Languages, was on sabbatical studying the policies of Malaysian female educators in Kuala Lumpur in 2010. She needed a school for her adopted daughter, Victoria. She found Sri Utama, which opened in 1994, the year Morrison first visited Malaysia with her husband, William, a Malaysian of Indian heritage. Impressed with each others’ commitment to education, Morrison and Dato Fawziah, the school’s founding CEO, began working together. She asked Morrison to teach American 12 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 12 10/6/14 9:15 PM �methods—creative games, classroom management, inclusion—to Sri Utama teachers. In exchange, she decreased tuition for Morrison’s daughter. The arrangement worked so well, the women expanded the novel plan after Morrison returned to Wilkes. In 2011, the first group of six Wilkes undergraduates began teaching at Sri Utama, monitored by veteran teachers for seven weeks. All their costs—airfare, lodging, food, recreational trips—were paid by Dato Fawziah. One of Dato Fawziah’s beneficiaries is McGurk, who majored in elementary education and now teaches fifth- and sixth-graders at the school. Sri Utama, in turn, has benefited from McGurk’s initiatives: an art exhibit, a poetry contest involving parents, the after-school programs Reading Rally and Girl Power. She’s also introduced volleyball, her varsity sport at Wilkes, to a country mad about badminton. Teaching in another country has not been without challenges. McGurk has struggled with Malaysian educational norms: poor technology; lecture-based teaching; frustratingly slow, frustratingly polite decisions made by committee. For Barno, the biggest challenge is teaching English for the first time to students who don’t know English. A history major at Wilkes, he’s made learning a new language easier for seventh- to ninth-graders at the Sri Utama branch in Johor Bahru, a city near Singapore. He’s added classes for struggling students and a friendlier textbook, the lavishly cartooned “Cool Ways to Improve Your English.” Gallaher, who also has a degree in elementary education, was asked to teach lessons about peer pressure, forgiveness and fears—subjects much trickier to teach than English. She encouraged a native Korean to discuss his fear of not returning to his homeland, and a Sudan native to discuss his fear of returning to the country where his father was murdered. Both Dato Fawziah and Morrison have helped make the Americans more Malaysian. McGurk now loves Nasi Lemak, coconut rice with toasted peanuts, fried anchovies and sambal, a chili sauce. Barno digs Chinese New Year, which has more fireworks than eight New Year’s eves. Gallaher follows the Malaysian practice of walking shoeless in homes, which delights her mother. The Wilkes graduates admire the extraordinary tolerance of Malaysians, a celebration of races and religions that Morrison calls “a national treasure.” Muslims attend Christmas parties. Christians eat in Muslim homes during Eid al-Fitr, the three-day feast after Ramadan’s fast, and everyone celebrates Chinese New Year. “On the whole, the people of Malaysia know how to look past the qualities that divide us,” says Barno, “and focus on the things that bring us together.” Indeed, Gallaher couldn’t teach the American civil rights movement because her Malaysian students couldn’t fathom whites oppressing blacks. The Malaysian alliance keeps growing. Last year Wilkes hosted two scholarship students from the Sri Utama branch in Johor Bahru. “On the whole, the people of Malaysia know how to look past the qualities that divide us...” Top, Barno and his students enjoy a relaxed moment.

I’ve also learned that you can’t always go with your first impression, your first judgment. The problem might not be that a student is stubborn; it might be that he simply doesn’t speak your language.” WILKES | Fall 2014 AND REBECCA GALLAHER 13 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 13 10/6/14 9:15 PM �WILKES | Fall 2014 Jason Evans ’00 dons attire that reflects the laid-back nature of doing business on the island of Maui, Hawaii.

It might also be his most spontaneous. “My dad did a lot of traveling for work, so I was able to go to Hawaii a few times when I was younger, at about 13 or 14. Then I went there again when I was about 24, around 2005. I remember I was telling the people I was with how I always wanted to live there. I love the water, I love the weather and the food, I love scuba diving, wakeboarding and surfing – but there was no TV in Hawaii that I could be involved in,” Evans recalls. Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 15 At the time, the communication studies graduate was working as a producer for Philadelphia-based Banyan Productions, on the top-rated TLC show “Trading Spaces.” “When we got back to the hotel, The Maui Visitor Channel was on. I joked that I could work for those guys. On a whim, I cold-called them to see how often their turnover was and it turned out they were looking for a producer right then and there.” For two years, Evans produced television commercials, programming segments and long-format productions for the Maui Visitors Bureau and the Four Seasons resort at Manele Bay on the island of Lana’i. Then he decided to take another chance. Hoping to provide Hawaii, a small market with few options for media production, with a fresh, forward-thinking alternative, Evans started his own company based in Maui, SilverShark Media. “The way media is going now, if you’re not creating for more than one platform, you’re really limiting your scope,” Evans said. “Television is an industry, like a lot of creative arts industries, whether it be music or art or whatever, where changes in technology have made things more accessible. You don’t have to have a million-dollar bankroll to run a company; you need creativity and talent.” 10/6/14 9:15 PM �That philosophy has already landed SilverShark several noteworthy projects. In addition to commercials and company marketing videos, SilverShark produces “Making Over Maui,” a weekly web-based series for Maui Na Ko Oi, a regional magazine. “Making Over Maui” features local businesses performing positive makeovers within their communities. One notable episode featured “House M.D.” and “Tron: Legacy” actress Olivia Wilde. The company has also worked on such national programs as the Travel Channel’s “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern” and the Golf Channel’s “The Haney Project.” Evans worked with professional boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, Food Network star Mario Batali, Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Angie Everhart and Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine during one three-month period for the Golf Channel program. In 2010, SilverShark was nominated for the Maui Mayor’s Small Business Award. Evans attributes his success to his proactive nature—it was he who approached Maui Na Ka Oi with the “Making Over Maui” idea—and the head start he got on the technical side of television production from Wilkes University. “I always knew I was going to be in television... I wanted to go somewhere that I could actually get hands-on experience early.” “Making Over Maui” host Lia Krieg laughs with employees of Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. working for Habitat for Humanity, while Evans, in foreground, and his crew film an episode of the long-running web series.

WILKES | Fall 2014 -- I “I always knew I was going to be in television, and knowing that I wanted to be in that industry, I wanted to go somewhere that I could actually get hands-on experience early. I didn’t want to wait until my senior year for my first chance to produce something,” Evans says. “I went into that Wilkes television studio and I helped create a sports show in my sophomore year that continued for three more years. I got to edit. I got to host. I got to shoot. I got to work in front of the camera and behind it. During my junior year, when I was doing my internship at ABC in Philadelphia for their sports department, I felt advanced. Just having access to the technology put me a few steps ahead of everybody else.” Not one to be idle, Evans also keeps busy as a freelance producer for Bryn Mawr, Pa.,-based Steve Rotfeld Productions, working on three nationally syndicated educational children’s shows, including “Awesome Planet” hosted by Philipe Cousteau Jr., grandson of famed undersea explorer Jacques Cousteau. Another freelance project, “Awesome Adventures,” was nominated for a 2014 Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Travel Program. “My very first shoot day with Nicole (Debeau), the host for ‘Awesome Adventures,’ was on the big island of Hawaii,” Evans recalls. “We had a boat trip set at sunset to see lava flowing into the ocean. When we got there, a heavy swell had rolled in and it was a 45-minute boat ride blasting over high seas, but it was one of the more incredible things I’ve seen: lava dropping off the cliff into the water like a waterfall. You could hear it sizzle.” Though Evans’ work keeps him on the move with little downtime, don’t expect him to slow down and settle for soaking up the Hawaiian scenery any time soon. For Evans, who once felt like “a small fish in a small pond,” the growth of SilverShark is a never-ending process. “Right now, one project I’m most proud of are the videos for the Fairmont resort brand, a very respected, very well-known brand around the world. We were able to do marketing videos for the Fairmont resort on Maui, which led to us doing work for the Fairmont in Sonoma, Calif.,” he says. “That’s nice to be able to show that, yes, we’re located on a small island in the middle of the ocean, but we can still bring quality to northern California, where San Francisco is an hour away and full of production companies that would chomp at the bit for the same project. To have people in a company who don’t even know you decide to pick you over a local company, that’s a great feeling. It shows the potential SilverShark has for growth beyond its geographic center.” 17 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 17 10/6/14 9:16 PM �S S A 8 -CL E 0 ’ LD A T E R ND A I NHOSA WOER ABE i nt Hu 9 ’7 T s u IS UN LD AN lock H OU ICI bert B W US y Ro M ar By G ng r fo WILKES | Fall 2014 s es cc Su Nate Hosie is at home hunting in his native Pennsylvania woods, above, and on stage playing guitar in Nashville, right.

It always had such a great atmosphere. launched the idea for “Headhunters TV.” Hosie is one of the Outdoor Channel show’s hosts. It’s allowed him to hunt with some of the legends of Nashville music, paving the way for another kind of career, one actually spawned during his time at Wilkes. During his recovery from the broken neck, Hosie had a lot of free time. “I got bored with video games after a month and started to teach myself to play guitar,” he says. “My sister Marla knew how to play a few things and the things she showed me amazed me.” The keen ear he developed from calling turkeys for almost 15 years—imitating their clucks, purrs, putts, cackles and yelps—paved the way for perfecting the sound he made from finger picks, bending, hammering, plucking and strumming on a six-string guitar. When he got back to Wilkes, he and some friends formed the band Maybe Someday, which played quite a few gigs at Murray’s Inn on Penn Avenue. Just 10 months after Marla helped him learn to play the guitar, she was killed by a drunken driver. Hosie dedicated himself to becoming a better guitar player in her honor. Some of the country music celebrities Hosie hunted with for “Headhunters TV” were impressed with his music. Earlier this year, he opened for Luke Bryan at the Archery Trade Association Show and for Brantley Gilbert at the Great American Outdoors Show in Harrisburg. Hosie worked on preproduction and composition of songs in Scranton with Jimmy Reynolds. In August, he opened for Travis Tritt at the Buckmaster Show in Montgomery, Ala. “I’ve written some songs and am working on others, doing them in the studio to find a unique kind of sound that is fitting for me musically,” Hosie says. Once he gets the sound to where he wants it, he’ll be heading to Nashville for the actual recording sessions of music that is a blend of country and rock. While Hosie’s no longer in Maybe Someday, maybe is becoming more definite for him, and someday is on his horizon like the red-yellow sunrise over the canopied forest. WILKES | Fall 2014 c ountry music superstars like Luke Bryan and Travis Tritt call him “The Turkey Slayer.” It’s a nickname friends—famous and not-sofamous—have given Nate Hosie, 2008 Wilkes graduate, budding Nashville recording artist, and one of the hosts of the “Headhunters TV” hunting show on the Outdoor Channel. Hosie is a Montdale, Lackawanna County, native and resident, born and bred in the outdoors world of hunting and fishing in northeastern Pennsylvania. An All-State cornerback for Lakeland High School in 2003, he enrolled at Wilkes to major in elementary education and play football for the Colonels. Hosie had a decent freshman year under Coach Frank Sheptock, but three days into his first winter break, his life changed dramatically. “My buddy got into an accident and wrecked his truck when we were going deer hunting, and I broke my neck,” he says. “The doctors told me I’d never be able to play football again.” Despite nearly being paralyzed from the injury, Hosie moved forward with hope rather than dwelling on the loss of his promising athletic career. He had already become a prizewinning turkey caller by the time he entered Wilkes, and that gave him something to hold onto as he worked his way through a three-month period of rehabilitation while missing a semester of college. Hunting eastern turkeys and white-tail deer in Pennsylvania was a passion since grandfather Josh and father Marty started getting him used to Penn’s Woods as a 5-year-old. Hosie followed his dad and granddad into the woods with a cap gun as a youngster, just spending some quality family time while learning the ins and outs of hunting. He liked deer hunting, but turkey hunting absolutely intoxicated him. “When I started turkey hunting, the interaction with them by calling, and them gobbling back, that conversation back and forth is something I took to,” Hosie says. Neighbors Bob Casella and Butch Maiolatsi taught their young Jedi about the cadence and volume of calling, the intricate details that separate good callers from great callers. Those skills launched him into turkey calling contests. Friends started called him “The Turkey Slayer” because of his turkey hunting prowess, an activity he honed by imitating the calls turkeys make, calling them in ever closer before lowering the boom, so to speak. After graduating from Wilkes, Hosie began working with Top Calls, a turkey call company based in Potter County, Pa. Hunter’s Specialties, another calling company, began using him as a videographer and producer with Harrisburg, Pa., native Matt Morrett’s hunting show. During some hunting industry trade shows, Hosie became friends with outdoors personality Randy Birdsong, who Bachelor of Arts, Elementary Education 19 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 19 10/6/14 9:16 PM �alumni news The Colonel’s Summer Vacation If you thought you saw the Colonel frolicking in the sand this summer or taking in the sites in Italy, you might be right.

She also serves as the president of her class in Student Government. “I’m thrilled with how well she’s done,” Weinkle says. “There’s no question that she is really in her own element at Wilkes, doing everything that she wants to do.” Kennedy entered her second year at Wilkes this fall. “My first year at Wilkes University went really well. I could not have asked for a better experience and I cannot wait to come back for more. I made a ton of great friends and I learned a lot, not just through school, but about myself as well,” Kennedy says.

But he says that any alumni can help young students make decisions on where they choose to go to college, simply by having a meaningful conversation. He recommends just starting with a few questions regarding the student’s wants and needs from a school. “Remember what it was like to think about choosing a college for yourself; you talked to people who cared enough to ask you those questions or someone who had knowledge and insight about different college opportunities.” Weinkle says that his time at Wilkes is truly what influences him to recommend it to others.

Make sure to mention that you’re an alum! WILKES | Fall 2014 After graduation, the memories you made in college stay with you on your journey throughout life. Joseph Weinkle ’63 passed those memories to a prospective student, who became a current student once she received Weinkle’s guidance. Weinkle introduced Sarah Kennedy, class of 2017, to Wilkes University and she hasn’t looked back since her tour at Wilkes. Weinkle, who has lived in Pittsburgh for 41 years, has known Kennedy since she was an infant because they are members of the same synagogue. Children from the congregation affectionately refer to him as “Uncle Joe.” In this role, he has helped Kennedy and other young people to navigate through their day-to-day challenges in life as well as the college selection process. “I had no idea where I wanted to go to college, but I had an idea of what size and type of school I wanted to attend,” says Kennedy. “I was considering eight schools and had been accepted into most.” Through multiple conversations with Kennedy, Weinkle realized that she could fit in at Wilkes, a place he regards as a second home. “I suggested that Sarah try looking at my alma mater,” says Weinkle, who majored in business administration at Wilkes. “I told her, ‘I think you’ll find what you’re looking for.’” And Weinkle was correct; she found it. “Honestly, I do not think I would have found Wilkes if it wasn’t for Joe,” says Kennedy. “It might have come across on College Board in my school searches, but I do not think I would have clicked the link if he did not suggest it.” One of the things that really sealed the deal was when Weinkle gave Kennedy a personal tour. He brought her to campus after she was accepted; her parents were unable to take her that day. 21 Wilkes_Fall2014_FINAL.indb 21 10/6/14 9:16 PM �class notes Tara Kojsza ’99 MBA ’03 Sees Small Business as Bigger Enterprise Tara Kojsza ’99 MBA ’03 lowers a batch of fresh-cut boardwalk real products: real cream, real Oreos, real Chips Ahoy cookies. fries into the deep fryer. “Consistency, quality and customer That makes a difference.” service, those are our top three priorities,” she says.

But that’s exactly what he does to test the devices he designs for Globus Medical, a company specializing in innovative technologies for patients with spinal disorders. Working with design team doctors who serve as consultants to Globus, Perloff designs devices that improve the quality of life for patients while streamlining surgery techniques. Becker’s Spine Review, an industry trade publication, recently recognized Perloff and his team for LATIS, a lumbar interbody spacer that is inserted in patients with degenerative disc disease. It provides stability for individuals who have had discs removed. The publication recognized it as the outstanding spine device for 2014. The device is designed to allow surgeons to use minimally invasive surgical techniques to insert it—a significant step forward.

As I write my message for this issue of Wilkes magazine, I want to share some campus developments that reflect the progress we are making toward that goal. We recently announced the largest gift ever received by the University. This $3.3 million contribution from Wilkes-Barre businessman John. J. Passan is in support of our School of Nursing. The gift, secured with the assistance of Carol Keup, Mr. Passan’s niece and a member of Wilkes’ board of trustees, will transform our nursing program, providing technology, library materials and more. By the time you receive this magazine, we will have dedicated the Passan School of Nursing in Mr. Passan’s honor. Such a gift truly reflects an institution’s quality; a willingness to invest in a university’s programs affirms the institution’s value. This fall we welcomed our first class in our new Honors Program, as they moved into a reconfigured and renovated Barre Hall. Our lacrosse recruits have arrived and have begun their non-traditional season in preparation for their first competition in the fall of 2016. Four new academic deans joined the leadership team, and we launched new programs, including our first fully on-line undergraduate program in nursing. Perhaps nowhere is Wilkes’ progress more visible than on the new campus Gateway, dedicated during Homecoming weekend. This entryway to campus, extending from South Main Street into the heart of the Fenner Quadrangle, physically unites our campus. It also has added beauty and enhanced the sense that we provide a traditional college experience in an intimate setting on our President Patrick F. Leahy speaks at the urban campus.

WILKES | Fall 2015 Wilkes Dedicates Passan School of Nursing Honoring Donor of $3.3 Million Gift 2 Wilkes University has received a $3.3 million gift—the largest in the institution’s history—to support its School of Nursing. The gift, given by local businessman and philanthropist John J. Passan of Wilkes-Barre, will be used to create a dedicated, permanent endowment for the school. The gift will transform nursing education at Wilkes for both graduate and undergraduate nursing students, enabling expanded opportunities for scholarships, technology and professional development experiences. The nursing school was renamed the Passan School of Nursing in Passan’s honor at a dedication ceremony on Wednesday, Oct. 21. “Wilkes University thanks John Passan for his vision in giving this gift to the School of Nursing, which now will bear his name,” says University President Patrick F. Leahy. “Such an investment reflects an awareness of not only what nursing education at Wilkes is—but, more importantly, what it can be, given the resources this his contribution provides.” Passan founded Valley Distributing & Storage Co. of Wilkes-Barre. He has supported a number of charitable causes in the region, including previous support to Wilkes. The building at 267 South Franklin St., which currently houses the office of the University’s dean of students, health and wellness services and residence life, bears his name. Nursing school Dean Deborah Zbegner says the Passan gift provides valuable programmatic support to Wilkes’ nursing programs. “The School of Nursing faculty joins me in thanking Mr. Passan for his support. With its dedication as the Passan School of Nursing, we enter a new era in nursing education with new resources. This gift will allow us to increase the number of scholarships we can provide to nursing students,” Zbegner said. “As technology continues to rapidly evolve, this funding will allow us to ensure that we have the most up-to-date technology resources. In addition, it will allow us to increase the number of nursing journals and online databases available in our library and will provide opportunities for students and faculty to attend professional conferences.” To see photos from the dedication of the Passan School of Nursing, visit www.wilkes.edu/passan �on campus Wilkes Seeks Historic First Patents for Faculty Research Wilkes University has filed patent applications for health care innovations developed by Ali Razavi, professor of mechanical engineering, and Abas Sabouni, assistant professor of electrical engineering. Their research could dramatically improve diagnosis and treatment for wound care, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and other brain-related disorders. The two separate applications are the first intellectual property rights submissions that Wilkes has filed in its 82-year history. Razavi’s background is in materials engineering and chemistry. He has been researching the anti-bacterial properties of silver for the past three years with Owen Faut, professor emeritus of chemistry, Ken Pidcock, professor of biology, and their chemistry and microbiology students. They discovered a silver compound that mimics how the body’s immune system fights infection and produces oxygen to kill harmful bacteria. Their discovery has the potential to revolutionize wound care and healing. Sabouni has developed a non-invasive, real-time method for tracing the effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The FDA-approved procedure uses intense pulsed magnetic fields to induce electrical currents in neuronal tissues, producing therapeutic effects in the brain. It has been used since 2008, but until now there has been no way to provide real-time, visual feedback on the effects of the treatment. Sabouni’s research stimulates the brain’s neurons and captures high-resolution images of induced current in TMS. By using Three Wilkes faculty have collaborated on a compound to be used in wound care. From left, they are Ali Razavi, professor of mechanical engineering, Owen Faut, professor emeritus of chemistry, and Ken Pidcock, professor of biology. Abas Sabouni, assistant professor of electrical engineering, has invented a method for tracing effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). PHOTO BY EARL & SEDOR PHOTOGRAPHIC information from MRIs and a computer program simulation, this new technology can pinpoint the area of the brain that needs to be stimulated and allow for faster, less expensive treatment and lower doses of induced current. TMS is helpful in treating depression and cases of post-traumatic stress disorder. It is also used to measure the connection between the primary motor cortex and a muscle to evaluate damage from spinal cord injuries. It may someday prove beneficial in treating a broad range of other neurological problems, such as stroke and Parkinson’s disease. PHOTO BY LISA REYNOLDS Wilkes was recognized with a Rainbow Award by the Northeast Pennsylvania Rainbow Alliance. The award honors individuals and organizations that have helped make northeast Pennsylvania more supportive of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. The Safe Space program at Wilkes was recognized for providing support to the LGBT community on campus by identifying responsive faculty and staff members through the use of the safe space sticker. When the safe space sticker is displayed in an office or room, students know they have the freedom to speak openly about LGBT issues. This voluntary program offers education as well as awareness training. The Safe Space Ally training provides participants with supportive tools to work as advocates both on and off campus for the LGBT community. Awareness training is key for faculty, staff and students to introduce terminology and foster more open discussions. Better understanding of divergent cultures leads to a more open and accepting atmosphere for everyone at Wilkes. The University encourages students to seek out Safe Space allies as a means of support and belonging. The Rainbow Alliance also recognized the University’s Center for Global Education and Diversity and the student-run Wilkes Gay-Straight Alliance for co-sponsoring a three-part film series with the Rainbow Alliance in spring 2014. During Pridefest, Wilkes hosted public events on campus led by the student-run Gay-Straight Alliance. Wilkes has sponsored a table at Pridefest since 2012. WILKES | Fall 2015 Wilkes Honored for Support of LGBT Community 3 �on campus Veterans Council Awarded $10,000 Grant Wilkes’ Veterans Council has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the VetCenter Initiative grant program, a partnership between Student Veterans of America (SVA) and The Home Depot Foundation. The grant will be used to create a center for veterans on campus. A space in Conyngham Hall will be renovated to create a veterans resource center, and will serve as a focal point for veterans’ activities. Student Veterans of America chapters across the country competed for the award, with the 50 best plans receiving grants. Wilkes University Veterans Council President Kellie Palko states that, “This grant means a lot for our club. To receive it is an honor and confirmation that all our hard work paid off last semester. In short, this grant means a future for our club. It means we can grow and reach more veterans who need help. It will give veterans on campus a place to relax and feel safe.” Retired Col. Mark Kaster, veterans outreach coordinator, says the award affirms the University’s commitment to veterans. “Wilkes creates a culture that connects our students to veterans and our veterans to students,” Kaster says. Wilkes has previously been honored for its work with veterans by earning the Military Friendly Schools designation from G.I. Jobs magazine five times.

PHOTOS BY EARL & SEDOR PHOTOGRAPHIC �athletics Remembering the Legacy of Rollie Schmidt Ask Bill Hanbury ’72 how he’d describe the late legendary Wilkes football coach Rollie Schmidt, and he’d be hard-pressed to choose one word. But somewhere near the top would be the word “motivator.” “Rare is the coach that can motivate players to spend their lives seeking his approval,” said Hanbury in the eulogy he delivered at Schmidt’s memorial service on June 1, 2015. “With every pass thrown, every drill run, every play memorized, every wind sprint completed, every touchdown scored, every game won, every honor made, we all wanted Coach’s approval.” Former players, Wilkes colleagues, friends and members of the community gathered to pay tribute to Schmidt, who died May 28, 2015, leaving his mark on Wilkes athletics through an unprecedented coaching career and indelible influence on the students he mentored. Schmidt’s career at Wilkes began in 1962, continuing until his retirement in 1994. During his tenure he was head football coach, men’s golf coach, head baseball coach and associate professor of physical education. Schmidt was elected to the Wilkes Athletics Above, Rollie Schmidt speaks with former Wilkes President Tim Gilmour on the day the stadium was named in his honor. Right, Schmidt chats with former players. “That desire for his approval didn’t end when we graduated from Wilkes. With every success in life, you wanted Coach to know about it.” – Bill Hanbury ’72 WILKES | Fall 2015 INDELIBLE INFLUENCE Hall of Fame in 1994. In 2010, Schmidt Stadium was dedicated in his honor—the result of the tireless efforts of his former players, who raised money to make it happen. Serving as head football coach from 1962 through 1981, Schmidt led the football team—dubbed the Golden Horde—to its legendary 32-game win streak, resulting in Wilkes College being awarded the Lambert Bowl trophy in 1966 and 1968 as the top small college football team in the East. As baseball coach, he led the Colonels to their first-ever Middle Atlantic Conference baseball championship in 1968. As golf coach, he led his teams to three conference championships. “Coach Schmidt served Wilkes with distinction and dedication for 32 years,” says Wilkes Vice President of Student Affairs Paul Adams ’77, MS ’82. “His 32-game win streak continues to be one of the great achievements in college football history. Always a mentor, he influenced young people not only on the football field, but as a professor in the classroom, and a coach on the baseball diamond and the golf course.” Nicknamed Zeus by his players, Schmidt imparted lessons on the field that players were able to apply to other parts of their lives. “Pride and Poise” were two words emblazoned on the locker room walls during his coaching career—and forever in the memories of his players. In eulogizing him, Hanbury spoke of the influence that continued for a lifetime. “That desire for his approval didn’t end when we graduated from Wilkes. With every success in life, you wanted Coach to know about it.You want to say: ‘Hey, Coach, look what I have done,’ ” Hanbury said. “And you want to thank him for teaching you that success is not an accident. And with failure, he also taught us how to lose with grace. He never made excuses when we lost. “When you’ve been kicked around by life, fallen down a few times, faced adversity, been knocked off your high horse, then you realize just how important Coach was and still is.You always hear his voice: ‘Come on, boys, pick yourself up, do better, pride and poise, never quit.’ ” 5 �SECRETS TO HIS SUCCESS Bill Evanina ’89 Directs Counterintelligence Activities for the United States By Andrew M. Seder WILKES | Fall 2015 A chunk of coal sits on Bill Evanina’s desk at the National Counterintelligence and Security Center in Bethesda, Md. Since he found it in an old coal mine as a youth, the anthracite has traveled with Evanina through each of his life’s phases. “I had it in Pickering Hall and I still have it,” Evanina ’89 says, recalling his Wilkes residence hall. “It’s a great focal point. It reminds you where you came from; that old coal miner’s work ethic. That value and that trust still are with me today. I’m hoping to hand it down to my son one day.” The work ethic has gotten him far. Evanina is the national counterintelligence executive, one of the most powerful people in the United States intelligence community, responsible for leading the counterintelligence and security activities of the United States government. His office works with the counterintelligence and security elements of the United States government, the United States intelligence community and the private sector to ensure awareness and mitigate the threats posed by foreign intelligence entities and malicious insiders. 6 Bill Evanina ’89 has brought his northeast Pennsylvania work ethic to his role as national counterintelligence executive for the United States. PHOTOS COURTESY THE NATIONAL COUNTERINTELLIGENCE SECURITY CENTER �“It’s a great focal point. It reminds you where you came from; that old coal miner’s work ethic. That value and that trust still are with me today. I’m hoping to hand it down to my son one day.” The chunk of anthracite on Evanina’s desk is a reminder of his roots. He also, without hesitation and with the precise memory of someone who handles detailed intelligence matters, remembers the event that set him down the path toward becoming an FBI agent. He was a young teen riding his bike through Olyphant when he saw police cars outside a bank that had just been robbed. As he watched the officers going through their investigative steps he noticed a Dodge Dart pull up, and a man in a suit with a fedora emerge and walk up to the local police. Evanina asked someone who that guy was and was told the man was an FBI agent. He knew from that moment what he wanted to be. Getting there would take another 14 years. In between, his focus was on athletics, where he excelled at baseball and football. Former Valley View football coach Frank Pazzaglia was among those who provided structure and discipline in his life, two key cogs that would aid him in his future. But it was a Peckville town resident who came to watch the Cougars practice and play that left, perhaps, the longest-lasting and most meaningful impression on him as a teen. Local war hero and Medal of Honor winner Gino J. Merli would give pep talks to the players, and Evanina remembers their intent and meaning and carries the message with him to this day. “Fidelity, integrity, character. Don’t let adversity get you down,” Merli would tell the kids. “Let adversity be a tool.” “Him talking to high school kids was invaluable,” Evanina says. When Evanina graduated from Valley View in 1985, he went to Keystone Junior College to play baseball. After two years, he was recruited by Misericordia, Villanova and East Stroudsburg universities as well as by King’s College and Wilkes, among others. He opted to take his pitching and shortstop skills—and still deep-seated FBI aspirations—to Wilkes. He remembered playing high school state playoff games at Artillery Field, he liked the Wilkes campus and especially liked that it was “just far enough away but still close enough to come home on the weekends.” WILKES | Fall 2015 As an FBI agent “detailed out” to lead the center, Evanina first assumed the assignment in June 2014, and he thought he had a pretty good idea what he was getting into. He was wrong. “When I took this job, I didn’t fully understand the vastness and scope of the mission here,” Evanina recalls. But it’s just the latest big assignment for a man who has made his career in government with a focus on law enforcement. In his 18 years with the FBI, he was involved in major investigations that included 9/11, anthrax attacks, terrorist kidnappings and more. In speaking about his current job, Evanina says, “I’m not sure there is an average day. The days don’t end.” The phone never stops ringing. Things have changed from his easygoing days growing up in Peckville, Pa., just outside of Scranton. As one of John and Barb Evanina’s three children, he recalls a youth spent riding his bike around old anthracite mining pits, lettering in baseball and football for Valley View High School and playing video games with his friends. 7 �) William “Bill” Evanina, Alexandria, Va. Bachelor of Arts, Public Administration and History, WILKES | Fall 2015 He spent his two years at Wilkes residing in Pickering Hall, where he also served as a resident assistant. “(Pickering Hall) was attached to the cafeteria and had a triangle shape, which was very conducive to being a social butterfly, which is what I was.” He notes that mostly athletes resided in the sincedemolished hall that was located between West Ross and West South streets and South Franklin and South River streets. In his senior year, his Pickering Hall room neighbor was Jeff Yankow, a fellow Lackawanna County native and baseball pitcher. Yankow, who graduated from Wilkes in 1993 with an economics degree and now teaches that subject at Furman University, says the Bill Evanina he knew then has the same qualities as the man he knows today. “You respected his leadership. He commanded a high level of respect,” says Yankow, who was born in Olyphant, now resides in Greenville, S.C., and who played briefly in the Kansas City Royals’ minor league system. “He has such a work ethic, integrity. It’s no surprise to me he’s excelling at what he’s doing. Not one bit.” While playing both baseball and Sega Genesis took up some of Evanina’s time at Wilkes, he had several professors and staff members guiding him along, making sure his days after Wilkes would be successful and exercising his strong work ethic. Evanina mentioned baseball coach Jerry Bavitz, Dean of Students Mark R. Allen and professors Philip R. Tuhy and Susan Behuniak among those at Wilkes he credits with “being very attuned to the individual and what your needs were as a soon-to-be graduate.” He spent two years in the admissions office as a work-study student, giving tours to prospective students, mailing letters and doing other office work. He also landed an internship with the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office in the summer before his senior year.

This, perhaps more than anything during his formative years, opened his eyes to the law enforcement community. “You got full exposure to the law enforcement process from crime to prosecution,” Evanina says, adding that prior to this experience he thought more about the crime aspect of such cases. But interacting with victims and even the criminal’s family, gave him a different perspective. “For every person that goes to jail there are many, many victims and friends and family of victims,” he says, When Evanina completed his bachelor’s degree in public administration and history at Wilkes, graduating magna cum laude, he was 21 years old. He still wanted to be an FBI agent, but applicants must be 26 years old. So five days after graduation, he became a federal government employee working in the General Services Administration office in Philadelphia.

THURSDAY, NOV. 12, 2015 HENRY STUDENT CENTER BALLROOM Bill Evanina ’89 Delivers Lecture on “Economic Espionage” at Wilkes on Nov. 12 Alumnus Bill Evanina will share the knowledge he’s gained during more than two decades as an FBI agent and as national counterintelligence executive when he returns to Wilkes to deliver a lecture on Nov. 12. His presentation—“Economic Espionage: Don’t Be A Victim”—will provide information about how business owners and individuals can protect themselves from this threat. Evanina will speak at 7 p.m. in the ballroom of the Henry Student Center. The event is free and open to the public. WILKES | Fall 2015 During his five years there he rose to the level of project manager, handling construction projects for federal buildings and courthouses. But month after month the calendar turned another page closer to his chance to apply to the FBI. In 1996, he entered the bureau’s training program in Quantico, Va. After 21 intensive weeks he graduated in January 1997 and was assigned as a special agent in the Newark, N.J., field office, where he was placed on an organized crime unit for two years before being reassigned to an investigative unit handling violent crimes in New Jersey. Two years later his life—and the lives of millions of others— was about to change. On Sept. 11, 2001, two planes struck the World Trade Center, just 10 miles from Evanina’s Newark office. In that instant, Evanina would become intrinsically involved in working against the threat that is terrorism. Over the next 14 years he would move from office to office, unit to unit, while having a hand in counterterrorism, counterintelligence and security matters. While some might view all the moving and new assignments—especially the serious and stressful nature of them—as unappealing, Evanina says he’s been blessed. He reads intelligence reports from more than a dozen different counterintelligence and security organizations that receive guidance and direction from his office. That includes the FBI, CIA and the National Security Agency. From those reports he’s come to understand that the transformation of U.S. counterintelligence and cybersecurity methods has been eye-opening and constant. “The evolution has been not only expeditious but lightning speed,” Evanina says. He laughs, recalling that when he first started with the FBI, cell phones were rare. Agents would get a page, find a pay phone, call an 800 number and be “patched in.” Now pay phones are a rarity and cell phones are the norm. Noting that such things have come a long way in less than 20 years, Evanina says, “It grows and gets more complicated every day.” He says he hears the complaints from citizens about government intrusion and criticisms of the intelligence community, but he hopes Americans realize “there’s so much stuff being done by so many people in the intelligence community they don’t know about, nor should they.” Evanina does what he does each day hoping that his wife, JulieAnne, his son, 10-year-old Dominic, and other Americans can go to bed each night feeling a little safer. 9 �F1 RST IN THE FAMILY WILKES FUND SUPPORTS FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS By Donna Talarico-Beerman ’00, MFA’10 A secretary of state.

WILKES | Fall 2015 “In establishing the First Generation Scholarship Fund, the University has made a commitment to support those students in their journey to be 10 the first in their family to earn a degree,” says Leahy—those like Sergey, Margaret, Kyle, Salena and Cody, students you’ll meet on these pages: ASPIRING DOCTORS. A FUTURE NURSE. A BUDDING ENGINEER. �Found in Translation SERGEY SVINTOZELSKIY WHEN SOPHOMORE BIOLOGY MAJOR SERGEY SVINTOZELSKIY was younger, he translated for his Ukrainian family members while his grandfather was in the hospital. He knew, even then, that he felt comfortable in the medical environment. Later, shadowing his family doctor and being treated by an orthopedic surgeon for a shoulder injury sealed his interest in becoming a doctor. Svintozelskiy’s family moved from Ukraine to Plains, Pa., in 1999, when he was 4. His father left behind a career as an assistant veterinarian. In the States, he went into PHOTOS BY EARL AND SEDOR PHOTOGRAPHIC Setting a Precedent SALENA DIAZ Diaz’ younger brother is 17, a senior in high school. She believes she’s a good influence on him and her 11-year-old sister. She is proud to be setting a precedent for the family, and, for that, she says, her mother is ecstatic. “It makes her even more optimistic that [my siblings] are going to be fine. College is absolutely feasible.” WILKES | Fall 2015 SOPHOMORE PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR SALENA Diaz was certain her mother got the message wrong. But the Kingston, Pa., native confirmed the information with Wilkes’ admissions office. “I honestly didn’t believe it,” she says of the moment she found out she was the recipient of a First Generation Scholarship. “Oh my goodness, I was over the moon!” After putting off applying to college, she attended an Instant Decision Day at Wilkes and, by the end of the event, she had been accepted. There was joy—but that soon turned to worry. “Acceptance is only the first hurdle,” she says. “The task of paying for college is a whole new beast.” She had high school friends whose parents went to college who could guide them through the application and financial aid process—something she did not have. “I was going in blind,” she says. “I thought it would be unbearably hard because no one could tell me it wasn’t.” Diaz, who is also minoring in Spanish, wrote a newspaper editorial about being a first-generation student. In the piece, she described herself as the oldest of three children “in a home captained by a hardworking single mother.” Her mom, a secretary, always encouraged her children to do well in school so they could earn a scholarship and continue on to college— “something she never got to do; her parents weren’t supportive [of higher education].” the food industry and now runs a restaurant in Pittston, Pa. Svintozelskiy says his family in Ukraine worked with their hands—on farms or in construction. His father didn’t want that for his kids. “My parents always envisioned us going to the States. They wanted us to excel in academics,” he says. By the time he graduated high school, he had earned 24 college credits at Wilkes through a Young Scholars program. He already knew faculty members and was acquainted with campus, so becoming a Colonel was a natural fit. Being awarded a first-generation student scholarship was a welcome bonus. “The financial aspect made a huge difference [in attending Wilkes]. I was overwhelmed and excited,” he says. Svintozelskiy knows that there’s often something different that motivates a firstgeneration college student. In his case, it was recognizing the sacrifices his family made. “My parents worked hard for us, and through their good will, we have opportunities,” he says, adding that he doesn’t take anything, including the college experience, for granted. 11 �Engineering a Future CODY COLARUSSO AS A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR, WEST WYOMING, PA., RESIDENT CODY Colarusso job-shadowed at Diamond Manufacturing, where his father had worked for 20 years as a machine operator. There he met Rob Falls ’09, an engineer. Colarusso was fascinated by the way Falls and his team drew on computers. “I asked him where he went to college, and he said Wilkes,” says Colarusso, now a sophomore engineering major. His older brother went to trade school and earned his commercial drivers license, but Colarusso would be the first in his family to receive a four-year degree. He knew he wanted a college degree and his parents pushed him to prepare. He took AP courses in high school and took a summer college-level calculus class. The budding mechanical engineer considered other schools, but decided Wilkes was the right fit for him—and he’d be able to remain at home and maintain his part-time job. Despite getting accepted to his college of choice, he was worried about finances Living for a Dream WILKES | Fall 2015 MARGARET GALATIOTO 12 because, as he describes, “we’re a family of four living on one income.” He was shocked and humbled when he got the call about the First-Generation Scholarship. “I was very driven to attend Wilkes and because of this award I was able,” he says. Colarusso says the engineering program is rigorous, but he knows “it will be worth it to push through.” And although much of his coursework revolves around science and math, he found an English class with associate professor and department chair Mischelle Anthony to be one of his favorites, offering a change of pace from science labs. Colarusso says his father taught him and his brother to always do the best in every situation and “if not, to try again.” That kind of determination, and being prepared for the unexpected, he says, is a trait first-generation college students share. “I want to succeed because I want to leave something behind,” he says. “And to give back to my parents too.” MOST OF HER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL classmates didn’t know what platelets were. But at a very young age Binghamton, N.Y., native Margaret Galatioto did. “I tried to understand [the medical terms] so I could understand what was happening with my father,” the sophomore neuroscience major says, explaining that he passed away from cancer in 2009. She says her father always pushed himself to be the best at everything he did, an expectation he also held for his children. “If we got a 90 on a test, he’d ask what we could do better.” Her mom taught her the importance of family. “She prepared me for how to take care of my, I hope, future family.” Galatioto recognized how hard her parents worked, despite financial and health obstacles; this instilled in her a desire and drive to succeed. �Nurturing a Career KYLE MCHALE “Just because you don’t have ‘XYZ’ doesn’t mean you can’t try hard and achieve crazy dreams,” she says. Her high school teachers continued to encourage her to “ask questions” and that curiosity kept her going in the “science direction.” She took college courses while still in high school—classes that involved rotations in hospitals. That’s where she fell in love with operating rooms. “I’m not a morning person, but the OR got me up at 5:30 a.m.” She also went to “mini-medical camps” as a kid and looked up to her teenaged counselors. “Now I’m that person,” she says. She helped Debra Chapman, biology education specialist, run Women Empowered by Science, Wilkes’ Throughout high school the Wilkes-Barre native worked, sometimes up to 30 hours in a week, and helped contribute to the family finances. Balancing a job, homework and chores afforded him time management skills he transferred to college. McHale, who commutes to campus, became interested in nursing after taking care of two autistic cousins during an entire summer. He administered medications, helped them exercise and bathe, and just assisted with simple, daily tasks. “It’s about wanting to see a person succeed. It’s not just about helping someone you care about, it’s being with them,” he says of his desire to be there fully for his future patients. A highlight of McHale’s campus tour was the nursing simulation center and a lengthy conversation with a professor; he was really moved by how much time she spent with him, even while he was still in “decision mode.” He says something about Wilkes grabbed him. “What I do know is that Wilkes makes you feel like you can succeed,” he says. McHale says that although his family struggled financially, his parents gave abundant support in other ways. The number-one thing that stands out is that his mom and dad never missed a sporting event, from T-ball to high school. He’d notice that his teammates’ families were not always in the stands. “I’d look over and see them hang their heads if they couldn’t find (their parents),” he says. “I may not have had a lot, but in those moments, the other person was envious of what I had.” McHale says that for students whose parents have a degree, the decision to go to college is likely more routine, something expected, constantly instilled. On the other hand, he says, first-generation college students don’t always have someone in their household to guide them through the process from personal experience. “I chose to be here,” he says. summer science program for middle school girls. When Galatioto began looking at colleges, Wilkes made it to the top of her list. She loved that it was small, that students made strong connections with advisors, and that it had a strong science program. But finances were a major factor in her ability to go to college. The First Generation Scholarship Fund lowered her family’s financial burden; and to continue to help her mom with college bills, Galatioto finds time to work on- and off-campus. “Everyone’s situation is different, but if a first-generation college student grew up watching their parents working extremely hard … they will be all the more motivated to persist,” she says. Her idea of success is being able to help people in the medical field, make a lasting impact on someone’s life and inspire other firstgeneration college students “to show them that they can do it as long as they are willing to work hard enough and believe in themselves.” But for now, she’s content on campus. “Wilkes is my second home. When I’m in the Cohen Science Center and look out at the greenway, I realize I have a lot to be thankful for,” she says. “I’m beyond thankful for the many gifts in my life.”� WILKES | Fall 2015 BEFORE THE CALL, THINGS WERE GRAY. DULL. A constant worry. But when sophomore nursing major Kyle McHale learned he was a recipient of a First Generation Scholarship, things changed. “It was like a curtain just dropped. We were relieved,” he says. McHale’s father worked two jobs—as a taxi driver and a hotel laborer—and his mother worked for a call center. His hard-working parents were, and still are, his role models. 13 �PATH TO GREATNESS CAMPUS .................................................................................... GATEWAY OPENS NEW ERA WILKES | Fall 2015 ------ 14 ·-------- - �O nce it was simply a sidewalk between two campus buildings, a well-traveled path from South Main Street to the center of the Wilkes campus. Five months and 47,700 bricks later, it’s become something more. Joining such campus landmarks as the John Wilkes statue, the Burns Bell Tower and the Fenner Quadrangle, the new campus Gateway promises to be a defining feature on the University landscape. Supported by a gift from alumnus Clayton Karambelas ’49 and his wife, Theresa, and a $600,000 PennDOT multi-modal grant, the Gateway provides a well-lit entrance and a cohesive centerpiece for Wilkes’ city campus. Dedicated on Oct. 2 during Homecoming weekend, the $1 million Gateway unites the campus, extending from South Main Street across campus and South Franklin Street to the heart of the greenway. GATEWAY FACTS • The metal archway at the entrance is made of structural steel tube. • 47,700 paver bricks were used. • The Gateway features over 2,000 plants and trees, including five red maples, 1,000 pachysandras, 55 wood ferns and 27 oakleaf hydrangeas. • The Howard replica clock stands 18 feet high. • It includes 11 lamp posts. • Pedestrian crosswalks were created on South Main and South Franklin streets. • The bases on the piers and curbs are Mt.

Myers MA ’09 16 Above, Evana Manandhar ’14 greets the audience as she learns that she has won the title Miss Nepal World. Below, Manandhar distributes supplies to a woman affected by the earthquake that devastated Nepal. PHOTOS BY RAJAN MAHARJAN, LAXMI NARAYAN MAHARJAN, SAROJ PRAJAPATI AND BIBASH MAHARJAN SUWAL �B ecoming Miss Nepal World 2015 was never a childhood dream of Evana Manandhar ’14, but on April 18, she won the title, viewing this international platform as a stepping stone to help others. She didn’t have to wait long to realize that goal. One week later, a destructive 7.9 Richter scale earthquake struck her homeland and Manandhar was there to offer assistance to those in need. She credits Wilkes University and her family for developing the strength that enabled her to do this important work. “Wilkes helped build me to believe in myself,” Manandhar says. “Wilkes made me conquer Miss Nepal World.” The confidence and strength were important on April 25 while she sat in her sixth-floor residence in Kathmandu, 35 miles from the quake’s epicenter. As the earth shook, she ran to the basement for safety while the tallest tower in her city collapsed. Ironically, it also was Manandhar’s birthday. After several days, she traveled to the devastated areas to see firsthand the results of the quake. More than 8,000 people had died and families were living in tents under harsh conditions. Manandhar went to the local airport and directed foreign relief workers to the hard-hit areas. She distributed maternity kits and sanitary products to women and counseled children in orphanages who were left traumatized by the quake and its strong aftershocks. “I was in places I’d never been,” Manandhar says. “As Miss Nepal, you become the face for the country. The women and children connected with me. If I panicked, what would they do? I created hope for them.” Now, she says, people are concentrating on rebuilding Nepal. “I felt significant and carried lots of hopes of the Nepalese on my shoulders,” she says. “It was the moment to be strong. It was a great privilege to be their representative and make them realize that we are one nation, together.” Back in America, Manandhar’s Wilkes community hadn’t heard from her after the quake because there was no Internet service. Friends at the University were relieved when she finally posted on Facebook. In response to a request Manandhar made Evana Manandhar, Kathmandu, Nepal Bachelor of Business Administration, Marketing, Wilkes Notable: Miss Nepal World 2015; Ambassador for National Trust for Nature Conservation in Nepal Favorite Wilkes Memory: Taking a class with Wilkes University President Patrick F. Leahy and meeting inspiring mentors and professors from the Sidhu School of Business and the Center for Global Education and Diversity. on social media, the Wilkes community lit candles and observed a moment of silence on May 7 to remember the Nepalese people and the innocent lives lost. Manandhar’s dedication and the support and caring from those at Wilkes are not a surprise to Anne Heineman Batory, chair, Department of Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Marketing in the Jay S. Sidhu School of Business and Leadership and a professor of marketing. Batory met Manandhar in fall 2011. She became her advisor when Manandhar declared marketing as her major. Batory recalls her former student as excellent both academically and as a team leader who inspired others. “Evana is a warm and compassionate person,” Batory says. “She was a friend and advisor to many of our international students. She wanted them to be successful at Wilkes, and she enjoyed learning about their home countries. As an international student, Evana wanted her classmates to understand and appreciate the graceful beauty of Nepal, Nepalese people, and Nepali culture. She shared pictures, artwork, fabrics and stories about Nepal in class.” Manandhar came to Wilkes from Kathmandu, Nepal, and was the only student from that country. She found the University through a consultant who was helping her to apply to colleges in the United States. She says it was “luck” that brought her to Wilkes, where she found a home and a family. Once she arrived, she quickly immersed herself in college life. Manandhar reached out to the University’s Center for Global Education and Diversity, working with staff and students on socialization, education, and social events. She hosted the first Nepali New Year at Wilkes to bring awareness of the cultural diversity, ethnicity, and the traditions of her country. When she graduated in May 2014—on her father’s birthday— her entire family came from Nepal and Connecticut to celebrate with her. She earned the Dean’s Excellence Award in Marketing at graduation. Manandhar will compete for the Miss World title in China in December, and continues to help her country. Wilkes, she says, is always part of everything she does. “I am proud to be a Wilkes alumna,” she says. “I am proud to be a Colonel, and once a Colonel, always one. Wilkes University pride.” Manandhar, right, gives books and school supplies to school children in her native Nepal.

She’s making her mark again with a gift that helped to modernize the team’s locker rooms. In May 2015, Saint Onge and her husband, Kevin, who live in Fanwood, N.J., made a generous contribution of $10,000 for the project—one that is fitting for a player who helped to build a foundation for the more than 180 women who have played soccer for Wilkes since the sport began there in 1987. Saint Onge designated her gift to the women’s soccer program because this was the area that meant the most to her while at Wilkes. “The most fun I ever had in the sport was during my four years on the Wilkes team,” she says. “Susan and Kevin’s extremely generous gift made a great impact locker room space,” says women’s soccer head coach John Sumoski. In this interview, Susan reflects on her experience as a soccer player and why she chooses to give back to Wilkes. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WILKES MEMORY? I have many! One of the most exciting days on campus was when the entrepreneur and publisher Malcolm Forbes arrived via helicopter to dedicate Fortinsky Hall. Winter Weekend was always fun. I remember when the men’s soccer team won the 1990 ECAC Conference Title. And, of course, I remember when our team finally scored our first goal—thank you, Dawn Holser Acacio ’92! WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO BE PART OF THE INAUGURAL WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM AT WILKES? Exciting and daunting. Those early years of the program were rough. We were, however, hard-working, dedicated and enjoyed the sport enough to show up for practice, even when we knew the odds of us winning the next game were slim-tonone. Looking back now, you could say we were pioneers, but at the time we were just young women having a blast doing something we loved. Members of the women’s soccer team gather to thank Susan Dalton St. Onge ’91 and her husband, Kevin, for their gift supporting refurbishment of their locker room.

WHAT POSITION DID YOU PLAY HOW DID BEING PART OF A AND WHAT WAS YOUR NUMBER? COLLEGIATE TEAM HELP YOU IN I played defense—full back and stopper. I changed my number each year to match my age at the time—18, 19, 20 and 21! YOUR CAREER AFTER WILKES? WHO WAS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON FROM WILKES DURING YOUR COLLEGE CAREER? An influential person in my college career was former professor and field hockey Coach Gay Meyers. During my first weeks of freshman year, I experienced several personal and family tragedies. She was my academic advisor and stepped in to help me navigate through a difficult time. WHAT DO YOU ENVISION FOR THE FUTURE OF WOMEN’S SOCCER AT WILKES? Having witnessed the program’s very humble beginnings, Coach John Sumoski has transformed this program into a high-level, world-class and well-respected program. I believe athletics plays an integral part in work dynamics. Everything you do on and off the field contributes to the team. Improving your own skills, incorporating strategies, working with others, setting common goals, sharing ideas, dealing with adversity—all of those things contribute to your individual or team’s success or failure. WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE WOMEN’S SOCCER PROGRAM AS A DESIGNATION FOR YOUR GIFT? It is important to me, to help out where I could make a difference, and to contribute to something that meant the most to me during my time at Wilkes. I recognize and appreciate the importance of women’s sports programs and how often these programs are underserved, especially at small colleges.

On that day, the faculty held its monthly meeting to discuss matters important to our institution. During the meeting, the faculty as a whole overwhelmingly endorsed the development of the University's first Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree—the Ph.D. in nursing. Why is this so important? It marks the beginning of the next phase of the University's evolution. Let me explain. In 1933, our institution was founded as Bucknell University Junior College, a two-year school to prepare local students for transfer to Bucknell's main campus in Lewisburg. In 1947, we became Wilkes College, a four-year bachelor’s degree granting institution. In 1961, we offered our first master’s degree. And, in 1990, we became Wilkes University, a name change which much more adequately reflected our commitment to undergraduate and graduate education. In 1996, we offered the University's first doctoral degree, when we started the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy and offered the Doctor of Pharmacy degree. Today, we at Wilkes University serve as many graduate students as undergraduate students. In fact, over the past few years, we are one of only a handful of universities across the country to confer at least 400 bachelor’s degrees, 800 master’s President Patrick F. Leahy shares plans for the South Campus Gateway at a campus degrees, and 100 doctoral degrees in news conference. the same year. Our Ph.D. Program in Nursing continues our dedication to serving students to solve societal challenges. There is a significant shortage of qualified academics to teach the next generation of nurses, and our Passan School of Nursing wants to be part of the solution. We have always been the institution that offers academic opportunity, and the creation of our first Ph.D. program is further proof of this enduring commitment. As we continue to expand the scope and scale of our graduate programs, Wilkes University will likely for the sixth time in our history change our Carnegie Classification to a “Doctoral Research University - Modest Research.” This new designation, made possible in large part due to the expansion of our programming, will provide a fresh opportunity to position this relatively small university among the greatest universities in the nation, while still preserving the mentoring, tight-knit culture that has been our heritage. There has never been a more exciting time to be part Dr. Patrick F. Leahy of Wilkes University. Thank you for all the ways you Wilkes University President continue to support your alma mater!

President Patrick F. Leahy says the South Campus Gateway will make the campus safer and more attractive, increasing Wilkes’ unique appeal as a University that offers programs comparable to a large, research university in the mentoring culture of a small, liberal arts college. “This is another step in our vision of creating a residential campus in an urban environment,” Leahy says. “This space will be enjoyed by our students, faculty and staff and by people who live and work in Wilkes-Barre.” Dan Cardell ’79, chairman of the University’s board of trustees, said that the project embodies priorities outlined in the institution’s strategic plan, Gateway to the Future. “The strategic plan calls for us to develop and strengthen our campus facilities and infrastructure. It also emphasizes supporting our host city,” Cardell says. “This project marries those two strategic priorities. These campus enhancements have the added benefit of helping us recruit more students and improving the neighborhood surrounding Wilkes. It is a win-win-win for Wilkes, our students and for the City of Wilkes-Barre.” The project combines University resources with Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Department of Community and Economic Development funds to improve pedestrian safety, alleviate traffic congestion and beautify the campus and surrounding neighborhood.

Right, a gateway also will be created from the Student Center across West South Street to the Stark Learning Center. The three parts making up the South Campus Gateway are: • $1 million project to create new entrances to the Henry Student Center parking lot from South River Street and South Franklin Street. It will also create an expanded south entrance plaza to the student center and landscape open space on South Franklin Street that will serve as a pedestrian connector to the Henry Student Center. The project is funded by the Multimodal Transportation Fund program, which provides grants for transportation-related projects. Wilkes received a $650,000 grant and is matching it with $350,000. • $1.35 million project to create a new pedestrian walkway in front of the Henry Student Center. It also will fund streetscape improvements, including new sidewalks and lighting, on West South Street from South River to South Franklin Street and also on South Franklin from West South to Northampton Street. Funding for these improvements came via the PennDOT Transportation Alternatives Program, which provided a $1 million grant that is being matched by $350,000 from Wilkes. • $1.15 million project to create a gateway from the Henry Student Center to Stark Learning Center. The project, which will be entirely funded by Wilkes, will create a Gateway on south campus similar to the one which the University opened in 2015 on South Main Street. The two Gateways will beautify the campus and support renovations to the engineering labs in Stark Learning Center. Work is expected to begin in May 2017 with completion expected by fall 2018. �on campus Senior Jillian Ehret gained international experience while interning at the United Nations. PHOTO BY DAN Z. JOHNSON New Research and Scholarship Fund Awards $1 Million to Faculty Faculty research and scholarship have long been an integral part of the student experience at Wilkes. Undergraduates begin to work in research with their faculty mentors as early as their freshman year in fields as diverse as biology, pharmacy, psychology, business and communications. Now a new faculty research and scholarship fund established by the University will encourage and support faculty with a particular emphasis on projects involving undergraduates. The University awarded 12 grants in spring 2016, ranging from $10,000 for a one-year project to $30,000 for a three-year project. A committee made up of representatives from all of Wilkes’ academic colleges and schools reviewed 18 applications to make the awards, which were judged on a set of criteria that included plans for sharing research results and how students would be involved in the projects. A second set of 9 proposals was funded in fall 2016. The funded projects will be highlighted at the Wilkes Scholarship Symposium each spring. Terese Wignot, associate provost, says the grants are meant to provide a starting point for faculty research and scholarship. “This gives faculty the opportunity to get research going. We want it to be sustainable so that they can leverage this grant to get external funding,” Wignot explains. A diverse group of research and scholarship topics were awarded funding. They include: Wilkes senior Jillian Ehret didn’t need a passport for her summer internship. But the Sugarloaf, Pa., native met people from around the globe every day during her internship with the United Nations. An international affairs and political science double major, Ehret interned with the Permanent Mission of Jamaica to the United Nations. Based in New York City, Ehret researched and attended briefings related to social and economic development issues. The internship is made possible through Wilkes’ partnership with the Humpty Dumpty Institute, which brings a United Nations speakers’ series to campus. • A project exploring factors contributing to entrepreneurial environments spearheaded by Morgan Clevenger, assistant professor of entrepreneurship. • Research involving the analysis of protein dynamics by Del Lucent ’03, assistant professor of physics. • A project examining the role American lawyers have played in shaping international law in the twentieth century, led by John Hepp, professor of history. University Offers First Research Doctorate in Nursing, Adds Family Nurse Practitioner Program The Passan School of Nursing continues its leadership role in nursing education with the introduction of a doctor of philosophy degree in nursing in summer 2017. The Ph.D. in nursing, which is a research-focused degree, meets a critical need in nursing education for Ph.D.-prepared nursing faculty. The school also announced the addition of a low-residency family nurse practitioner degree. Wilkes is the only school in the region offering a family nurse practitioner degree online. Deborah Zbegner, dean of the Passan School, says it is the first research nursing doctorate in northeast Pennsylvania and one of only seven nationally that will be offered online. “The addition of this degree further enhances the Passan School’s position as a comprehensive school of nursing,” Zbegner says, noting the school now offers nursing education from the undergraduate through doctoral levels. For an explanation of the significance of the doctor of philosophy in nursing degree and its impact on the University’s future, please see President Patrick F.

Watching Wilkes field hockey captain Taylor Ryan in action, she seems to be a natural leader. The senior communication studies major feels differently, however, crediting her experiences on and off the field with developing her ability. “I definitely think that it came with time and experience.... It came with people, coaches and professors really pushing me to get where I am,” she says. Ryan, a Fredericksburg, Va., native who also has minors in marketing and women’s and gender studies, has played field hockey since she was 7. Recruited to play for Wilkes, she was voted captain at the beginning of the fall 2016 season. Ryan has led the team through a strong season that ended in the Middle Atlantic Conference Semifinals, but she’s interested in more than just winning. As captain, she strives to make sure the team has chemistry, and that the younger players feel comfortable, included and valued. Her reasoning? She wants new teammates to have the experience she did as a first-year student athlete. “If I was to designate one thing that’s given me more than anything else, I would say it’s field hockey,” she explains. “It’s really shaped me as a student and a person, but also as a leader, and it’s set me up really well for my leadership roles now.” Ryan’s leadership positions outside of athletics include serving as sports co-editor of The Beacon, Wilkes University’s student-run newspaper, and as co-chair of Zebra Communications, the student public relations agency. She also was chosen to be a Kirby Scholar at the Allan P. Kirby Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship. As a scholar, she assists local businesses— and the center itself—with everything from pitching press releases to establishing brand cohesion. Ryan also is committed to giving back to the community. All sports teams complete community service projects. Leading Zebra, Ryan and the other co-chairs made it a point to take on clients that actively make a difference, such as the Special Olympics and the Children’s Miracle Network. To an outsider, it may seem like athletics and academics compete for Ryan’s attention, but she doesn’t see it that way. At Wilkes, she says, she never had to pick one facet of her identity over the other. She attributes this to the faculty and staff—from coaches to administrators—who encourage students to get involved and reach their potential. “Coming to college is when I was able to break out of my shell,” she says. “I evolved and gained that confidence because of the people I surrounded myself with, and I think that’s the most important thing.” WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 PHOTO BY CURTIS SALONICK 5 �A D SE OF SUCCESS NESBITT SCHOOL OF PHARMACY CELEBRATES TWO DECADES OF EXCELLENCE By Patty Pologruto You won’t find the drugs produced by Lanier Evans PharmD ’04 in your local pharmacy. That’s because they include low doses of radioactivity used by hospitals for high-tech scans that help diagnose WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 a variety of medical conditions, from cancer to heart problems. 6 It’s a career Evans never dreamed of when he first entered Wilkes’ Nesbitt School of Pharmacy in 2000. He learned about being a nuclear pharmacist from Bernard Graham, founding dean of the Nesbitt School, who had once worked in the field himself. “If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” says Evans, who is manager of a nuclear pharmacy in Atlanta, Ga., for PETNET Solutions, a division of Siemens Medical Solutions Inc. “He introduced this world to me.” At the time, only two pharmacy schools in the United States offered classes leading to nuclear certification. Because Graham and other faculty tailored classes to help prepare Evans for his field of interest, he didn’t need to invest more time and money after graduation. “When I came out of school, I had all of the requirements for the nuclear medicine certification. I was offered a position with PETNET, the company I’m still with,” Evans says. Evans’ experience in the pharmacy school reflects its strengths: close relationships with faculty, a personal approach to pharmacy education and—perhaps most importantly—a school that continues to adapt its curriculum to meet the rapidly changing field of pharmacy. As Nesbitt celebrates the 20th anniversary of its first entering class, it continues to evolve. The Nesbitt School of Pharmacy was first imagined by the late Umid R. Nejib, then dean of Wilkes’ College of Science and Engineering. Nejib saw the need for pharmacy school in northeastern Pennsylvania, advanced the idea at Wilkes and hired Graham from Idaho State University to serve as dean. �I The first student pharmacists entered Wilkes in fall 1994, and the professional pharmacy program commenced in fall 1996. It became the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy in 1999, when Geraldine Nesbitt Orr made a gift to the University to name it in honor of her late husband, Abram Nesbitt II. Then as now, two years of pre-pharmacy education lead to guaranteed seating for the four years of study toward the doctor of pharmacy degree. The program has tracks in pharmacy practice or pharmaceutical sciences. The introduction of the pharmacy program also was a milestone for the University, becoming the first academic program offering a terminal degree—the highest degree in a field of study. It was a turning point in Wilkes’ academic history, says University President Patrick F. Leahy. “Our goal is to create one of the great small universities, with all of the programs, activities and opportunities of a major research university in the caring, mentoring environment of a liberal arts college. Nowhere is that goal more fully realized than in the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy,” Leahy says. “Our student pharmacists study in an outstanding program leading to a doctoral degree, mentored by excellent faculty. At the same time, they are able to enjoy a typical college experience, playing varsity sports, leading student government and participating in clubs and organizations.” Daniel Longyhore, associate professor of pharmacy practice, standing center, works with students in the CVS Pharmacy Care Lab.

PHOTOS BY EARL AND SEDOR PHOTOGRAPHIC, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 Pharmacists are the third largest group of clinicians in the U.S., behind doctors and nurses. 7 �DEVELOPING LEADERS pharmacist’s role is more than filling prescriptions. That’s been Graham’s mantra since he became dean of the school in 1994. “Pharmacists are in a more value-added role in health care today,” Graham says. “The profession has moved from product-focused to patient-focused. There is a lot of responsibility today for pharmacists regarding medication therapy compliance.” Pharmacists are expected to improve medication safety and prevent medication-related problems, contributing to positive patient health outcomes and reducing hospital admissions. To support these industry expectations, Nesbitt’s curriculum now focuses on preparing its graduates for the reality of a value-based health-care environment. The school’s integrated curriculum takes the students beyond the classroom and lab, with 30 percent of the program devoted to out-ofclassroom externship programs. Shelli Holt Macey, director of experiential programs for pharmacy practice, has been a member of the faculty since the school’s founding, and coordinates opportunities for this critical piece of hands-on experience. Knowing how to engage with patients and with other clinicians is essential to the growing number of pharmacists who are part of care teams seeing patients on hospital rounds or in outpatient facilities. Graham says that due to a primary care physician shortage, more pharmacists will act as physician extenders in doctors’ offices, working with patients on medication management and compliance. To better prepare for these changing roles, many Nesbitt graduates go on to receive Lanier Evans PharmD ’04 Focuses on Aiding Diagnoses Lanier Evans PharmD ’04 almost didn’t become a pharmacist. He had long considered a career in dentistry. A stint working in a community pharmacy and time spent observing his brother juggle the challenges of opening a dental practice convinced him to consider a different career. After graduating from Augusta State University in his native Georgia with a degree in biology and psychology, he applied to both dental and pharmacy schools. A visit to Wilkes with his mother convinced him, especially after he met Dean Bernie Graham. “Never would you meet the dean at other places as part of the interview process,” Evans says. “That impressed me and impressed my mom. Actually the • decision was already made for me by my mom; she loves Dr. Graham and Dr. (Harvey) Jacobs.” Assured that he would get personal attention, he enrolled in the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy. During his four years in the school, he not only earned a degree but also honed a career path. Encouraged by Graham, he sought □ a specialty in nuclear pharmacy. ll Twelve years later, he serves as nuclear pharmacy manager for PETNET ••• □ Solutions, a division of Siemens Inc. based in Atlanta. Evans and his team prepare tl Lil drugs that include doses of radioactive isotopes. They are used by hospitals and clinics for diagnosing conditions using high-quality imaging tests, such as PET and CT scans. About five batches of drugs are made each day at his lab. “Then we have to IJ figure out how to get the drug to the patient. Our back is always up against time in this facility.” Because the nuclear drugs can be used for only a limited time before losing their effectiveness, Evans and his crew have to calculate shipping time to a WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 hospital to determine where and when the drugs can be used. 8 Despite the challenges, Evans is proud of the advances being made by nuclear pharmacists and researchers. “Nuclear is having a major impact on health care,” he states. “In the last four years, two new drugs the FDA has approved are nuclear. One is a new drug for diagnosing Alzheimer’s. The other is a new drug for diagnosing prostate cancer. Alzheimer’s disease has been around for 100 years, but until now it could only be officially diagnosed postmortem. With this drug, people can be diagnosed earlier, while they are still alive.” Evans demonstrates a robotic device in handling the radioactive materials that nuclear pharmacists use to create medicines. PHOTO COURTESY PETNET SOLUTIONS �Eli Phillips PharmD ’06 Forges Career Combining Law and Pharmacy Not many people would choose to follow four years of rigorous study in pharmacy school with another three years of schooling to earn a law degree. Eli Phillips is one of them. When he completed his pharmacy Eli Phillips, PharmD ’06 combines expertise in pharmacy and law in his position at Cardinal Health. degree at Wilkes, he was admitted to Drexel CARDINAL HEALTH University’s new law school, where he earned the juris doctor degree in 2010. When he graduated, he became part of a small number of professionals who combine the fields of pharmacy and law. Among members of the American Society of Pharmacy Law, only around half of its members hold degrees in both fields. It was all part of a career plan for Phillips, a Wilkes-Barre native and son of a pharmacist and pharmacy store manager who worked for CVS. “I always envisioned myself as an executive with one of the large pharmacy chains, so I weighed getting an MBA or a law degree,” says Phillips, who worked for CVS in Philadelphia while attending law school. “I realized that the juris doctor would give me more options.” Phillips now works for Cardinal Health, a global healthcare services and products company, providing custom solutions for drug manufacturers as well as hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, pharmacies, physician offices and clinical laboratories. Based in Dublin, Ohio, Phillips is director of quality and regulatory affairs and pharmacy compliance for the company’s specialty businesses. His wife, Vanessa (Velikis) PharmD ’05, is a pharmacist with Express Scripts, also in Dublin, Ohio. Phillips oversees a team of 52 who work with six of Cardinal Health’s businesses. They include the Cardinal Health repackaging business—which literally repackages larger quantities of drugs into smaller units for sale at pharmacies, and the Cardinal Health specialty drug distribution arm, which delivers expensive drugs or drugs that require special handling, such as refrigeration. He also works with two specialty pharmacies owned by Cardinal Health in Baltimore, Md., and Nashville, Tenn. These specialty pharmacies dispense high-end drugs used to treat rare conditions impacting small numbers of patients. Other areas of responsibility include the company’s private label business, which produces in-store brands such as the Leader brand, used by the Medicine Shoppe chain, and Sonexus, a manufacturer support and third-party logistics provider that handles inventory on behalf of manufacturers. “My role is to keep the supply chain of pharmaceuticals safe for patients and their families, by making sure that we’re meeting FDA and other federal and state regulatory requirements,” Phillips says. Frequent changes make keeping track of state and federal regulations challenging. “You have to be nimble to keep up,” When the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy opened its doors, it was the 80th school of pharmacy in the country. PHOTO COURTESY he says. Technology continues to impact the profession, he explains, citing the introduction of track and trace provisions that will allow companies and regulatory agencies to track every bottle of medication by serial number. No matter how swiftly regulations change, ensuring quality always means one thing for Phillips and his colleagues. “Keeping patients safe always is the top priority,” he says. WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 advanced education in specialty areas such as cardiology, oncology, pediatrics and emergency medicine. The shift in the pharmacist’s role may have started in the early 2000s, when Pennsylvania approved specially trained pharmacists to immunize patients in community locations like Walgreens. Nesbitt was the first pharmacy school in the state to put the American Pharmacy Association’s Pharmacy-Based Immunization Delivery Certificate into its curriculum, requiring every student to earn it. More recently, the school adapted its curriculum in response to the opioid addiction issue. “We are training students to identify people who abuse medications, including opioids,” says Ed Foote, professor and chair, pharmacy practice. “We are teaching our students to identify risk factors and when to make an appropriate intervention. They also are being trained on how to administer the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone.” New diseases also mean pharmacists need more information. “Infectious disease lectures are continually being updated for topics like the Zika virus,” says Zbigniew Witczak, professor and chair, pharmaceutical sciences. “A new trend in pharma teaching is putting more core science into the curriculum because pharmacists need that understanding,” explains Witczak, who taught an elective course this fall on how marijuana impacts the body. About 30 percent of Nesbitt students are involved in research. Witczak reminds his students that they cannot separate pharmacy from 9 �Julie Olenak, professor of pharmacy practice and assistant dean of student affairs, clarifies a point for students. - MENTORING MATTERS WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 Half of Wilkes pharmacy graduates go into community pharmacy, a third go to a residency or graduate training and a third go into other aspects of pharmacy work, such as academia, sales and research. 10 science. While Nesbitt’s curriculum is built on an interdisciplinary approach involving academic disciplines such as business, nursing and education, Witczak is a proponent for students taking more core science courses. It’s a position that makes sense for a research scientist who recently became president of the International Carbohydrate Organization. He is working to establish an anti-cancer drug derived from carbohydrates. He also is working with four students synthesizing carbohydrates as a potential drug for antibacterial agents and anti-diabetes. Not all pharmacy research is about creating new drugs. Students and faculty members conduct retrospective medical file reviews and analyze data for health-care systems, processes and trends that pharmacy can impact. Judith Kristeller, professor of pharmacy practice, and Dana Manning PharmD ’08, associate professor of pharmacy practice, recently received a $150,000 grant from Cardinal Health Foundation to expand a system for improving the transition of care and medication use for patients discharged from Commonwealth Health Network hospitals to home. In addition, Kristeller and Manning have also been awarded a $41,000 grant from the Moses Taylor Foundation that will further support the project, which focuses on improving medication safety, preventing medication-related problems and preventing hospital readmissions. Students will assist with the research. Nesbitt students also are participating in the Interprofessional Student Hotspotting Learning Collaborative, an annual program that trains interdisciplinary teams of professional students from schools around the country to learn to work with patients who are high users of emergency services in their own communities. Under the guidance of Jennifer Malinowski, associate professor of pharmacy practice and assistant dean of academic affairs, three student pharmacists are part of inter-professional teams studying patients who frequent the emergency departments of Geisinger Health System and Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. The student pharmacists are joined by medical, social work and physical therapy students to develop solutions on reducing emergency room visits. They are expected to present their ideas to top administrators at the hospital systems aimed at achieving better health at lower cost through a hands-on approach which includes home visits. Team members are training at local institutions such as The Commonwealth Medical College, University of Scranton and Marywood University. hanks to yearly entering class sizes of about 70 students, Nesbitt faculty truly know their students and mentor them for success. The mentoring process starts in the pre-pharmacy first year, when students are placed into a team of 12 that includes a faculty member, an upperclassman and an alumnus as mentors. Scott Bolesta PharmD ’00 says his career was impacted by a culture of mentorship that began with the start of the school. Now a Nesbitt associate professor of pharmacy practice, he was the very first Wilkes student to be handed a doctor of pharmacy degree in 2000. It was while shadowing several former faculty members that Bolesta decided he wanted to specialize in critical care, with an ultimate goal of teaching. After several critical care residencies, Bolesta returned to Wilkes in 2005 to teach. Today, he spends three days a week with students at his clinical site, Regional Hospital of Scranton. He rounds with the care team in the hospital’s intensive care unit and regular floors. All pharmacy practice faculty also work in clinical settings. Most faculty members spend 50 percent of their time managing patients in a doctor’s office or clinic, and Nesbitt students then have the opportunity for introductory or advanced practice experiences with those faculty members. “I shadowed a pharmacist at the Geisinger Care Site Pharmacy in Scranton and found the patient interaction and the role of controlling the patient’s blood thinners intriguing,” says second year student pharmacist Nikko Bonavoglia. That experience helped Bonavoglia decide he wants to be a pharmacist in the ambulatory care setting. �EXPERIENTIAL PROGRAMS PROVIDE DIRECTION lot goes on for Nesbitt students outside the classroom. Experiential programs and community service are requirements that help guide career decisions. Sarah Fillman, fourth-year student, said her internship at Geisinger Health System definitely will impact her career. While at Geisinger, she piloted a program to establish public awareness to promote proper drug disposal. Fillman received the U.S. Public Health Service \ Third-year student pharmacist James Steigerwalt participated in a summer 2016 internship at Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins Hospital with 24 other students from pharmacy schools across the nation. “I was a little apprehensive that the students from the larger schools would be more experienced and prepared for the program, but I learned that the Nesbitt School offers the same high-level education and experiences as other schools. In fact, Award last spring for that work. She is the third Nesbitt student in four years to win the prestigious award. Geisinger is one of a number of health systems offering experiential learning for student pharmacists. Hospitals in nearby Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, as well as others in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, Hershey, Pa., and New York state provide opportunities for Nesbitt students. Pharmacies and drug companies also provide externships.

Getting ready to pose for his portrait as the school’s founding dean, Graham dons a pair of fake glasses, complete with false nose, mustache and eyebrows. Pressing a miniscule button, the mustache and eyebrows flutter up and down. “How’s that?” Graham asks, his blue eyes twinkling before he doffs the joke eyewear and assumes a serious pose.

He says Nesbitt is “old” now, upon the needs and concerns of the student body,” says but in reality it is a highly regarded, competitive doctoral Steigerwalt. “He offers great insight when challenges arise, program thanks to Graham’s leadership. and I feel I am learning a lot about my leadership potential by “I am proud of what Dean Graham has accomplished,” says having the opportunity to work closely with him.” Nesbitt alumnus and assistant dean of student affairs Julie WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 The Nesbitt School of Pharmacy has a 98 percent graduation rate. 12 I think our school provides more leadership and research opportunities than many other schools, and we receive more one-on-one attention from our faculty and professors that allows us to excel outside the classroom.” Opportunities also exist in countries far from the Wyoming Valley. Some students have traveled with Graham to Guatemala on medical mission trips. Others take part in five-week externship opportunities in Uganda and the United Kingdom. In the Amazon jungle in Peru, Fillman studied pharmacology, physical chemistry and ethnobotany of medicinal plants. “This was an irreplaceable experience that extended far beyond the classroom, broadening my social, environmental and global perspectives,” she says. �EXCEPTIONAL STUDENTS, EXCEPTIONAL ALUMNI illman’s list of college accomplishments and activities is long: cross-country runner, minors in neuroscience and psychology, first-year student mentor, biology teaching assistant, bystander intervention student trainer, a member and leader of numerous clubs and organizations. Her involvement is not unusual. Steigerwalt is executive president of the Pharmacy Student Senate and a member of Phi Lambda Sigma and Rho Chi Society. He’s a musician who plays in the University’s Civic Band and Chamber Orchestra. Bonavoglia is the policy vice president-elect for the American Pharmacists Association chapter at Wilkes and advocates for Pennsylvania legislation that impacts pharmacists. The three students reflect the level of engagement for most Nesbitt School students. Upward of 20 percent of student pharmacists play Division III Athletics. Six out of the seven past student body presidents were student pharmacists. Many participate in activities like band and dance. More than 95 percent of Nesbitt students participate in professional organizations, and about 40 percent go off-site to professional meetings and conferences. “Nesbitt students excel, and they are motivated, dedicated and highly professional,” says Jon Ference PharmD ’03, associate professor of pharmacy practice and assistant dean of assessment and alumni affairs. Great students start with a great admissions screening process. Julie Olenak PharmD ’03, associate professor of pharmacy practice, and assistant dean of student affairs, says Nesbitt takes a “holistic approach” when selecting students that includes assessing leadership and communication skills as well as academic ability. ■ Those are skills that will remain important as future student pharmacists specialize in areas like public health, medicine/genomics, hospital pharmaceutical management and independent pharmacy ownership—all programs being considered for the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy. Nesbitt alumni confirm the variety of opportunities in the field. Pharmacy graduates work locally, in places such as community pharmacies. Others have roles where they may have impact on a national level, such as Susan (Pellock) Polifko PharmD ’05 and Stephanie (Victor) Begansky PharmD ’08, who both work for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Others, such as William Eggleston PharmD ’14, literally make national news. Eggleston, a clinical toxicologist at SUNY Upstate Medical Center, was quoted in the May 10, 2016, New York Times about a report he authored detailing new abuses of the over-the-counter anti-diarrheal drug loperamide. “You will never be bored in pharmacy,” states Olenak. “We will always be learning and teaching something new.”� Wilkes remains above state and national pass rates for the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination, with a 97.9 percent threeyear average first-time pass rate. School graduates have a 99 percent pass rate on the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Exam.

WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 C 13 �Head of the Class Melanie Wiscount EdD ’15 Earns Presidential Teaching Award By Kelly Clisham MFA ’16 One glance at Melanie Wiscount EdD ’15’s résumé and you understand why she won a Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics and Science. She’s snagged major honors ever since she switched careers to teach computer science at the middle- and high-school levels. During her 13-year teaching career, Microsoft selected her as a Partners in Learning U.S. and Global Educator. Siemens honored Wiscount as a STEM Institute fellow. Now there’s the WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 presidential honor, a national 14 prize that comes with $10,000 from the National Science Foundation. Still, when Wiscount talks about her work with the District of Columbia Public Schools, she doesn’t highlight her expertise or honors. She brags about her students, who team up to develop award-winning mobile apps and land prestigious internships with the likes of Microsoft, LockheedMartin, Accenture, World Bank and NASA. Working with a generation of kids who seem to be born with mobile devices in hand, does Wiscount worry about these young computer whizzes outpacing her? Not a chance. She relishes it. “I want them to question me. I want them to beat me out,” she says. “They’re going to find something they’re experts about, and that’s where the confidence comes in. Throw in a little bit of innovation and we’ve got tomorrow’s change-makers.” Change has been a constant in Wiscount’s career, and she proudly embraces it. She majored in accounting at Bloomsburg University, taking math and computer science courses for fun and graduated summa cum laude. She worked as an accountant for years but found she kept asking herself, “How can I serve other people in a better capacity?” Her answer: “Teaching is perfect for that.” She earned a master’s in business education and started teaching at her alma mater, Pine Grove Area High School in Pine Grove, Pa. She enrolled in the doctor of education program at Wilkes in 2007. Wiscount quickly developed an interest in educational reform, and while Pennsylvania was cutting school budgets, Washington, D.C., was putting money into education. Wiscount took a year off from the doctoral program and made the move to the District of Columbia schools. “It was completely different than anything I’ve ever done.” �WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 Melanie Wiscount works in a new high school in Washington, D.C. PHOTOS BY STEVE BARRETT 15 �She completed her Wilkes doctor of education in educational leadership with a concentration in educational technology in 2015. Her dissertation examined the effects of kinesthetic learning, or learning through movement. Wiscount wanted to learn if students who learned about math kinesthetically would perform better on standardized tests. As part of her research, students kinesthetically manipulated the coefficients of the quadratic function using body movements and gestures using Microsoft Xbox Kinect camera. Wiscount loves the challenges, and the rewards, of teaching in an urban setting. For some of her students, the nation’s capital is not about museums or cherry blossoms. “A lot of my students live in neighborhoods surrounded by violence. They think they’re destined for that kind of future,” Wiscount says. “They’re not used to people believing in them and their potential.” Wiscount does, but more importantly, she teaches them how to believe in themselves. “I teach hope,” she says. “I teach hope every single day.” Wiscount tells the story of a former student who always showed up late for school. When she told him that he wouldn’t secure an internship if he couldn’t make it on time, he explained that his mother was seriously WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 Wiscount encourages Elijah, one of her students, during an afterschool meeting of the technology club. 16 “The name of the award says it all.

Now teaching at Ron Brown College Preparatory High School in Washington, D.C. Notable: Winner of a 2016 Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics and Science. The award was established to recognize and encourage outstanding teaching in the STEM fields. Favorite Wilkes memory: Dr. Gina Morrison’s “Leadership, Diversity, & Societal Change” class in her first week in the doctor of education program. “She asked us to write down our full name on a piece of paper and then to add ‘Dr.’ in front of our name. She asked us to look at our name with the title and know it’s our vision. It is up to us to create our path to it. I thought of that moment many times during the doctoral program...” WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 ill and he was responsible for getting his 2-year-old sister to daycare using public transportation. On her recommendation and the strength of his work, the student persevered and landed a top internship. “That’s what I mean about hope.” Wiscount’s colleagues can’t help but notice her commitment to her students— and fellow teachers. Emmanuel Schanzer of Bootstrap World nominated Wiscount for the Presidential Award. The two first crossed paths years ago at a conference, then again at a workshop. Bootstrap is an open-source framework for building website and web applications. According to Schanzer, “Bootstrap teaches students to program their own videogames in a way that has been shown to reinforce, rather than undermine, key concepts in mathematics.” Wiscount has used Bootstrap content with her own students, and has shared the work with other teachers and administrators. “She’s a veteran Bootstrap teacher and has had wonderful success with her students. She’s been an incredible advocate,” says Schanzer. Anthony Priest, District of Columbia schools’ career and technical education program manager, worked with Wiscount when she taught at McKinley Technology High School in Washington. Priest is not at all surprised that she’s been recognized for excellence. “The name of the award says it all. She’s an excellent teacher in the STEM arena,” says Priest. “She works incredibly hard. She’s dedicated to the students. She cares about them as people.” Since June 2016, Wiscount has put her dedication to student success to use as the educational technology instructional coach at Ron Brown College Preparatory High School. The all-male high school focused on young men in the District of Columbia, especially young men of color. It opened in August with a class of 104 ninth-grade students, with plans to add another grade each year and graduate its first class in 2020. The high school is a one-to-one school, providing one device—a laptop computer—to each student. The school refers to this policy as one-to-world, meaning they teach students to use technology responsibly to connect with a global community. Wiscount’s teaching philosophy encourages students to be creators rather than consumers. Why download an app when you can develop one? Why buy a video game when you can design your own? Her dedication gives her students confidence to try new things, make mistakes and figure out how to fix them. “They become the experts. That empowers them. It’s really magical.” 17 �Storyteller Wilkes’ Oldest Graduate Anna Arnett MA’16 has Tales to Tell By Geoff Gehman Bonnie Culver, director of Wilkes’ graduate creative writing program, prepares to recognize Anna Arnett as the University’s oldest graduate. WILKES | Fall/Winter 2016 PHOTOS BY LINH LAM 18 Kathleen “Kat” Ethington issued a gentle ultimatum in December 2013 to her then 89-year-old mother, Anna Arnett MA ’16. It was high time, she told her mom, to write a book about her late Mormon parents, a pair of potato-farming school principals with a pioneer zest. She needed to preserve her tales on paper for her seven children, 28 grandchildren and 49 great-grandchildren. That day at her Mormon church in Chandler, Ariz., Arnett learned about the Wilkes weekender program in creative writing at the nearby Mesa Center for Higher Education. For once, Arnett—who describes herself as a “procrastinator from the word go”—defied her tendency to dillydally, driving that same day to the center. The program would allow her to pursue a degree by attending class on weekends and writing at home the rest of the time. Learning that her late husband’s military benefits would pay for the degree, she enrolled. Two years and many written pages later, she became the oldest graduate in Wilkes history, earning her master’s degree in creative writing at 92. In the process she completed a memoir of her parents’ early lives called Forever Endeavor. �Arnett’s family story could be the basis for an epic novel. Her mother grew up on a cattle ranch in a log cabin with a dirt floor, a dirt roof and a “nice” fireplace. It was a hardscrabble start for a salt-of-the-earth mom of five who taught kindergarten. Her father was an innovative math teacher who let students proceed at their own pace and tested them without written exams. A shrewd psychologist, he awarded a 1916 silver dollar to the first pupil who finished a book’s exercises. “And that was back when a silver dollar would buy something,” says Arnett, who playfully adds that her dad didn’t scold her for hating math. “Numbers play hide and seek in my brain,” she says. Arnett’s husband, Charles, was an Air Force pilot imprisoned in an abandoned German concentration camp during World War II. She married him 10 days after he proposed, eager to erase the discomfort of two years of separation. “It’s what you call a whirlwind courtship,” she says. It was so whirlwind, she adds merrily, that she flunked all her college finals. Like many military wives, she followed her husband to assignments in Australia, Japan and 16 states, moving her family 29 times. After completing a year-long hitch alone in Vietnam, Charles urged Arnett to resume her college education. At age 45, with her oldest child in high school and her youngest child entering kindergarten, she enrolled at Arizona State University. At night she studied in the bathroom, the only place with a light that wouldn’t wake her sleeping loved ones. She earned a bachelor’s degree in secondary education, followed by a master’s in teaching secondary English. She put the disciplines to work by co-founding, teaching at and directing a school for pregnant teens and leading an association of women who wrote at night. Returning to school many years later at Wilkes, Arnett still fit in well with her much younger classmates, who dubbed her “Miss Anna.” She impressed poet Spencer Aubrey MA ’16 with her wit, wisdom and keenly rendered stories about her parents. Aubrey, a part-time surveyor of new subdivisions, says “Miss Anna” is inspiring his poems about single mothers, including his sister. She charmed Darcy Breault MA ’16 with her positive attitude, strict attention to good grammar and stylish outfits of pink T-shirt, yoga pants and “cute” boots. Breault, a supervisor of college-credit programs for five high schools, says she’s more likely to weave fiction into nonfiction thanks to Arnett. “She would tell us: ‘You never get to an age when you can’t focus on writing and you can’t be publishing,’ ” says Breault. “You can always be following your dream.” Arnett also found an ally in her Wilkes faculty advisor, J. Michael Lennon, professor emeritus of English and co-founder of the creative writing program. Lennon praises Arnett’s panoramic, probing portrait of Mormon migration. “She is a superb writer with an eye like a pair of tweezers for the telling detail. Through her mother’s journals, and her own memories, she has put us in close touch with that golden time in American history when Mormon families walked across a continent to build lives in the West,” Lennon says. Arnett thanks Lennon for instilling a dedication to deadlines, easing her procrastination. She thanks her Wilkes classmates for easing the loneliness she’s felt since the 2008 death of her husband Charles. “He was the most perfect man I could have stood to live with,” Arnett says fondly. According to daughter Kat Ethington, with whom she lives, “Wilkes’ program made (my mother) feel more productive and more important. It definitely enhanced her life.” Arnett continues to enhance her life by pursuing a master of fine arts in creative writing at Wilkes. Lennon is guiding her research paper on great teachers in literature. As far as she’s concerned there’s still a lot she wants to do. “It’s a fascinating, wonderful world, and I’m not eager to leave it. I sometimes wonder at people who say they can hardly wait to get beyond this life to eternal peace and rest and praising God,” Arnett says. “That would be good for me for a week, but after that, you want something you have to do…. But life is good, life is great. When I’m down, I think how good it is and then I’m feeling up.” Anna Arnett MA’16, Chandler, Ariz.

Through the efforts of our campus community, Board of Trustees, alumni, and talented student body, we are positioning Wilkes for the next phase of our continued evolution—becoming one of the nation’s finest small doctoral universities. In just the first few weeks of the fall semester, we celebrated three significant milestones that are evidence of this evolution. In September, the University’s first Ph.D. program in nursing became a reality. Sixteen students from seven different states will be prepared to educate the next generation of nurses through the program’s rigorous coursework. With the addition of the Ph.D. in nursing, we now offer five terminal degrees that enroll more than 550 students. Just two weeks later, Wilkes’ commitment to the arts was renewed with the rededication of the Sordoni Art Gallery in its new location at 141 South Main Street, making a bold statement about the importance of the arts at this University. The opening exhibition, “15 Minutes: From Image to Icon,” featured works by internationally-known artist Andy Warhol. In just the first month since the gallery opened its doors, more than 1,000 people have visited the space. It has been such a thrill to see visitors— Wilkes President Patrick F. Leahy speaks at the dedication of the Sordoni Art Gallery, launching a both art-lovers and novices alike—experience new era for the arts. PHOTO BY KNOT JUST ANY DAY Warhol’s renowned works right here on our campus. This is the beginning of a new era for the Sordoni Art Gallery, during which our students and the community will have the opportunity to view art at Wilkes like never before. And finally, earlier this semester, I had the distinct honor of writing a letter in support of a senior biology student who is applying for a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship. Guided by a faculty member with experience in this highly competitive process, we believe that this is the first time in University history that a Wilkes student will apply for this scholarship. Regardless of the outcome, this effort has elevated the level of academic excellence for all of our students. I think you will agree that each of these achievements is individually impressive and worthy of celebration; however, when viewed collectively, they signal something greater. Now is a time of great progress at Wilkes, as we layer exciting investments in academics and infrastructure with initiatives that strengthen our foundational values of community and mentorship. I hope that these three examples of our progress make you as proud of Wilkes as I am. There has never been a better time at Wilkes, and I look forward to celebrating more milestones like these with you in the coming months. Dr. Patrick F.

REAL-LIFE LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP HIGHLIGHTED IN WILKES PRESIDENT’S SEMINAR PHOTO BY RYAN WOOD WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 Bob Bruggeworth ’83 explains to a group of Wilkes students that sometimes failure is necessary in business—especially among innovators. But he adds an important caveat: “I tell the team, let’s fail fast.” Bruggeworth, CEO of Qorvo Inc., a global developer of radio-frequency technology, addressed the President’s Seminar in Leadership, taught by Wilkes President Patrick Leahy in spring 2017. His advice didn’t end with the two-word dictum about failure. “What I mean by that is, I’m okay with failure. Just fail faster,” he explains. “The problem is, we learn too late and spend too much money. Part of innovation is failing. I define innovation as having an idea, creating something and making money with it sooner than your competition.” Bruggeworth was one of seven seminar speakers who brought lessons about leadership to Wilkes students. It offered them the chance to hear from leaders in fields as diverse as technology, child care, investments and retail. Guest speakers also included Frank Joanlanne, president of Borton-Lawson; Dan Cardell ’79, chairman of the Chicago Quantitative Alliance; Bill Miller ’81, president of Galison/Mudpuppy; Tara Mugford Wilson, CEO of Power Engineering Corporation; Carl Witkowski, COO of Guard Insurance; and Bill Grant MBA ’86, founder of Hildebrandt Learning Centers. Structured as a conversation, each class began and ended with questions posed by Leahy to spark discussion. These included what Leahy calls the “lightning round,” a succession of questions designed to elicit one-word responses that give a snapshot of the speaker. Questions posed are as diverse as “What is your favorite word?” and “What is your most irrational indulgence?” The most important information shared, Leahy says, has to do with achievement after Wilkes. “These distinguished individuals have much to share with our students about leadership and success,” Leahy says. 2 Bill Miller ’81 discusses his role as president of Galison/Mudpuppy. PHOTO BY CURTIS SALONICK “The alumni bring the unique perspective of discussing how their Wilkes experiences prepared them for the roles they now fill.” “I really felt like I grew up at Wilkes,” Bill Miller ’81, president of Galison/Mudpuppy, a stationery and gift company, tells the group. Noting that he gained experience just as they did—writing for The Beacon and serving in Student Government—he also shares that summer jobs at the retailer Pomeroy’s paved the way to his selection to Macy’s Management Training Program upon graduation. From those early experiences, Miller became a retail marketing guru for industry giants like FAO Schwarz and Barnes and Noble. His networks supported him through his career transitions, prompting Miller to tell the students, “One lesson that I learned early is to create your own networks.” Emphasizing that he learned many facets of each company where he’s worked, Bruggeworth lauded the value of teamwork. “That’s why I’m a big fan of collaboration. It’s also interesting to get different people’s perspectives to make a good decision, because everybody sees the world differently,” he says. “I’ve been Wilkes President Patrick Leahy a big fan of bringing together hosted Bill Miller ’81 at the President’s Seminar in Leadership. people who are cross-functional.” PHOTO BY CURTIS SALONICK He also encouraged students to become life-long learners. “We’re the only asset that appreciates in business. We become worth more over time if we keep investing in ourselves and bringing more to the part,” he says. Senior finance major Aaron Sadowski of Robesonia, Pa., says he rearranged his schedule to take the leadership seminar. He’s glad he did. “Presidents don’t decide to teach a class unless they are going to do it to presidential standards,” Sadowski says. He especially appreciated hearing the perspectives of Frank Joanlanne and Dan Cardell, who both had successful careers in finance. Among the biggest takeaways for students? “There isn’t one roadmap to success; it’s what you make of your education and experiences,” Sadowski says. �on campus Scott Stolte Appointed Dean of Nesbitt School of Pharmacy Scott Stolte, Pharm.D., has joined Wilkes University as dean of the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy. Anne Skleder, Wilkes provost and senior vice president, praises the breadth of Stolte’s experience in pharmacy education. “We are fortunate to have Dr. Stolte at the helm of the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy. Our outstanding pharmacy program is poised to move forward to educate the next generation of pharmacists,” Skleder says. “I couldn’t be more excited to work with Dr. Stolte and support his vision on behalf of the University.” Stolte says, “I am humbled and honored to lead the Nesbitt School of Pharmacy. I am excited to work with our outstanding faculty and staff members and student pharmacists to improve the health and well-being of the citizens of our community.

The event draws 1,000 of the world’s most promising leaders from 90 universities and colleges around the world. The students included neuroscience major Raeva Mulloth; management major Christine Walsh; nursing major Angus Fortune; environmental engineering major Nicole Hart; and psychology major Maria Lerch. Held at the United Nations building in Bangkok from Aug. 1-7, 2017, attendees heard speakers and participated in group discussions surrounding the topic of “Causes that Matter” and completed workshop sessions to put their plans into action. Students also spent one day completing community service by working with local schools and planting in mangroves. “Being in the U.S., problems such as famine and widespread disease are not seen as everyday problems. However, for some of the people that I met, these are struggles they face every day in their communities,” says Mulloth. “The symposium not only opened my eyes to the vast and differing amount of problems around the world, it also inspired me to look at the problems I see in my own community.” The Wilkes students attended the symposium as part of an honors course, International Leadership.

Wilkes freshman Deb Stephens ’78 had joined her Waller Halls roommate, Sherry Meyer, as a score keeper for the men’s soccer team. Milling around with the players before an away game, Deb, clad in dark pants, had taken a seat on the stairs at the Ralston Athletic Complex. Wilkes soccer player Panos Kalaritis ’77, a junior international student from Greece, was there with the rest of the team. “He was not shy,” Deb says of her first encounter with the man who would become her husband. “And his first words were less than romantic.” When Deb rose from her perch on the stairs, Panos informed her that her pants were dirty—using a very specific word to identify the location of the dirt. Deb retreated to the ladies room in embarrassment. The husband and wife laugh at the memory. “It wasn’t intended to be an ice breaker,” Panos says. “It was just a casual comment.” Despite the dubious first impression, the meeting at Wilkes began a relationship that is now a successful marriage of more than 38 years. And, although they did not know it then, career success lay ahead as well. Panos’ work in the pharmaceutical industry would earn him 35 patents while working with leading pharmaceutical companies such as Abbott Laboratories and Hoffman La Roche, and eventually his own company, IRIX Pharmaceuticals. Deb would make her name in the telecommunications industry, working in marketing for AT&T and Accenture before launching her own consulting firm, Mercury Communications. (See stories on pages 11 and 13.) Careers weren’t yet the focus when the pair formed a friendship at Wilkes in fall 1975, getting together with friends to play cards. Eventually they began dating. On the surface, it seemed a case of opposites attracting—right down to their choice of major. Panos was studying chemistry and Deb majored in international studies. “I was her international studies subject,” Panos chuckles. In her own tonguein-cheek take on their early relationship, Deb notes wryly that her brother wasn’t particularly thrilled that she was dating a chemist, given her history with the subject. “My experience in organic chemistry included causing a fire, which my teacher rapidly doused.” The paths that brought each of them to Wilkes were equally diverse. Above, Panos and Deb Kalaritis confer about plans about their many philanthropic and professional projects. Opposite page, The Kalaritises, who met when they were Wilkes undergraduates, are pictured at their home in Florence, S.C. ALL PHOTOS BY SETH JOHNSON MEDIA UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED �9 WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 �A native of Patras, Greece, Panos was salutatorian when he graduated from the High School of Corinth, Greece. His good academic record earned him a scholarship to study at Wilkes starting in 1973 via a program run by the Anglo Hellenic Bureau of Education. The program identified talented Greek students, providing them with a scholarship and matching them with universities in the United States. The program placed about 10 students per year in colleges in the northeast. Students did not choose which school they would attend. The first person in his family to finish high school, Panos’ trip to America also marked the first time he left his country. He and his wife credit his mother, Georgia Kontea, a woman whose education ended in elementary school, for having the vision to allow her only son to leave Greece to pursue a college degree thousands of miles away. “I went from a small town back then to a huge country without having any relatives nearby to rely on,” Panos says. “The most memorable moment was getting off the Greyhound and seeing Dr. (George) Ralston and the assistant dean, Mr. Domzalski.” Deb also did not choose where she would attend college. Her father, dentist Joseph D. Stephens ’51, formerly Wilkes Alumni Association president, gently insisted his daughter attend Wilkes. “My dad gave my brother (Joseph D. Stephens Jr. ’79 ) and me a choice: We could attend Wilkes or continue living at home. With five siblings all living at home, it seemed like a good decision to come to Wilkes.” Once on campus in Wilkes-Barre, both embraced the experience, academically and socially. “One thing I will say for Wilkes is that it was a perfect environment for me,” says Panos. “Coming from a small environment in Greece, it was a school that gave a lot of personal attention.” A strong background in chemistry, physics and math helped ease his transition to academic life. At Wilkes he was introduced Wilkes sophomore biology student Maria Dima of Corinth, Greece, received a scholarship named in honor of Georgia Kontea, Panos Kalaritis’s mother.

Faut remembers his student, characterizing him as “dependable” in class and in the lab. “You knew that you could count on him to do what was expected.” Faut says that Panos’ subsequent success in pharmaceutical research is not a surprise. “His attitude was so very good. One of the most important things we see in a student is their attitude,” he says, noting that the right attitude is often the difference between success or failure. A TWO-CAREER COUPLE Panos headed to the University of Kansas to earn a master’s degree after his 1977 graduation while Deb fast tracked her bachelor’s degree completing her program in three years. The couple were married in 1979, just after he completed his master’s degree. Deb landed a job with AT&T in the years before the company’s breakup and restructuring. Deb’s relocation prompted Panos’ entrance into a doctoral program at Washington University in St. Louis. The Kalaritises became the quintessential two-career couple, frequently taking turns relocating to accommodate a new job or opportunity for either spouse. “Panos supported me in my career and vice versa,” Deb recalls. “We used to say if we lived someplace for more than two years, that was a long time. It’s been a very symbiotic and supportive relationship between the two of us.” Plotting their career moves on a map would find lines taking them from St. Louis and Chicago in the Midwest to East Coast locations in Basking Ridge, N.J., and eventually Florence, S.C. While living in South Carolina, a downsizing at Hoffman La Roche ironically coincided with Panos receiving a bonus for his work there. He jokes, “It left me with a lot of money and a lot of time on my hands.” The combination of capital and time allowed him to launch his own company, IRIX Pharmaceuticals, in 1996. Continuing their pattern of mutual support for career endeavors, Deb, by then running her own marketing consulting firm Mercury Communications, designed the company’s logo and tagline. In ancient Greece, the name IRIX meant falcon. Panos and his partner, J. Guy Steenrod, interviewed chemists for research positions at the new company, seated on folding chairs at a card table in temporary headquarters and retrofitted their first lab at South Carolina’s Francis Marion University. Panos was the company’s co-founder and chief operating officer. Under his leadership, IRIX grew to 200 employees, including more than 40 scientists with doctoral degrees and annual revenues of approximately $75 million. It was sold to Patheon in 2015. Main story continues on page 12 �It started, as it does for so many Wilkes students, with opportunities to work in the lab in Stark Learning Center. Panos Kalaritis ’77 felt at home there. Originally intending to pursue a medical career, by graduation Panos found his lab experience had pulled him in a different direction: putting his chemistry research skills to work, ultimately in the pharmaceutical industry. “I’ve always felt that things happen for a reason,” he says philosophically. His resume summarizing a 34-year career clearly reflects that fate set him on the path to success. He earned a master’s degree in medicinal chemistry at the University of Kansas and a doctorate in organic chemistry from Washington University in St. Louis. His research focused on the design of more effective chemotherapeutic agents for use in cancer treatment. The word “design” is appropriate in describing Panos’ approach to research, his wife Deborah explains. “His field fits his personality,” she says. “He’s not a pocket protector chemist….. Panos has such a creative bent.” That creative bent would earn him 35 patents in the pharmaceutical field, including innovations that assembled complex molecular structures in creative ways and produced commercial drugs more effectively, reducing the number of chemical steps, the processing time, and, ultimately, the costs. “Developing chemical processes for commercial products that are friendly to the environment was always at the forefront of my research endeavors,” he notes. His portfolio of green commercial manufacturing processes includes well-known commercial drugs like Xeloda, used in treating cancer; Lumigan, Xalatan and Travatan, which are used for glaucoma; the cardiovascular drug Berapros; Remodulin, used for COPD; and the blood thinner Warfarin. He began his career working for a combined 13 years for two major pharmaceutical companies— Abbott Laboratories and Hoffman La Roche. He advanced through the ranks to the position of director of synthesis development. He was actively involved with developing many investigational drug candidates, commercializing several of them. He was involved with the commercial manufacturing of Accutane, used in acne treatment; Dormicum, used to treat insomnia; the osteoporosis Panos Kalaritis surveys the company drug Rocaltrol; and the antibache started in 1996, terial drug Sulfisoxazole.

WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 PANOS KALARITIS ’77 ACHIEVES SUCCESS IN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY 11 �WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 A NEW CHAPTER 12 The Kalaritises found a new focus in their lives after Deb weathered treatment for breast cancer in 2001. She notes that her husband’s knowledge about cancer treatment, forged during graduate school, added an extra measure of support. “It was a long time after his master’s and Ph.D., when he researched chemotherapy, but he spoke quite knowledgeably with my oncologist, Dr. Michael Pavy. We were surprised there was not significant change in cancer treatment from 1979 to 2001… same drugs with improved administration protocols.” After facing down cancer, Deb stepped up her volunteer activities in the Florence, S.C., community, for church, civic and charitable organizations. With the help of friends who supported her during her cancer treatment, she raised more than $10,000 for the American Cancer Society in 2002. She served on the board of the Florence Symphony Orchestra, chairing its Taste of Symphony benefit, and also lent her talents to supporting the community’s library, museum and domestic violence shelter. Deb and Panos, being avid advocates of higher education, have supported undergraduate academic research and established scholarships. Panos offered scientific internship programs at IRIX Pharmaceutical. He also funded undergraduate research programs at Francis Marion University in Florence, S.C., and the endowed Coffen-IRIX Research Fund at the University of South Carolina. The couple also have taken a personal interest in helping promising students receive a college education. Remembering the help that Panos received, they have founded scholarships for worthy students at Wilkes, Francis Marion University in South Carolina and Towson University in Baltimore, MD. “The passion that Panos and Deb have for higher learning, particularly here at Wilkes, has established a unique opportunity for our students to experience the global education that is key to their success and at the core of our mission,” says Wilkes President Patrick F. Leahy. “The Kalaritises are role models in every sense, from their business success to their ability and desire to provide philanthropic support for our students. We are so proud to count them among our most valued alumni and friends.” Two scholarships at Wilkes have allowed the Kalaritises to honor their parents while helping the next generation of Colonels. The Dr. Joseph Donald Stephens, DDS Global Scholars Award, named in honor of Deb’s father, provides students with scholarships to pursue their education in another country. Three scholarships will be awarded annually. The first three $5,000 awards were presented to three Wilkes students. During summer 2017, Ana Castillo, a nursing major, traveled to Spain for a six-week program to complete her Spanish minor and improve her Spanish language skills in health-care terminology. Junior biology major Dillon Davis completed a two-month summer internship at Southampton University in England. He assisted a doctoral student studying retinal pathophysiology with a focus on age-related macular degeneration. Jacee York will use her scholarship to study in Australia in 2018. Another scholarship established at Wilkes brings Panos’ experience at the University full circle. In summer 2016, he contacted the principal of the high school he attended in Corinth, Greece, to request his help in identifying a student who would benefit from attending Wilkes. Maria Dima, a sophomore biology major, became the first recipient of the four-year scholarship, established in honor of Panos’ mother, an uneducated person who had great appreciation for education, who supported the decision of her only son to study in the United States. Meeting her benefactors just before traveling to the States, Dima was impressed by their friendly and approachable demeanor. “They are so much fun!” she says. Dima learned she was coming to Wilkes only one month before her arrival, so she didn’t have time to think about the giant step she was about to take. “Looking back, it scares me more now,” Dima states. “I ask myself, ‘How did I do that?’ ” She says she has benefited from advice that Panos offered—“In order to be successful in your new environment you will need to adapt in it. Get involved on campus and socialize but not only with international students.” She has joined Enactus and the UNICEF Club. Like her benefactor, she found the culture at Wilkes has been the most significant factor in her transition. “What made me the most comfortable is that everyone was here to help me.” Most recently, the Kalaritises added a third four year scholarship at Wilkes University in their name that will go into effect with the 2018 academic year. BUCKET LIST AND BEYOND Since selling IRIX, the Kalaritises have traveled, checking items off their bucket list of places to visit. Stops have included the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest in Australia and international wine tasting at Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, at Barossa, Eden, and McLaren Vale valleys in Australia, and Rioja, Priorat, and Ribera del Duero in Spain. Other stops included the Guggenheim Museum in Spain, and visits to Seville, Granada, the Spanish Riviera and the Greek Isles. “Panos had his first taste of golf at St. Andrews in Scotland and we both visited shrines amid the cherry blossoms in Kyoto, (Japan),” Deb says. Their new home in Austin, Texas, signals another development in his pharmaceutical career. “I am looking to start a new company with a focus on commercializing pharmaceutical products with improved therapeutic profiles over their current commercial proteges,” Panos says, explaining that his new company concept will also help to shorten existing approval processes and timelines to bring such products to market. Deb meanwhile, is gearing down her involvement in real estate company Evelpis, LLC to devote more time to managing their donor advisory fund to further their philanthropic efforts. Neither is using the word retired to define their status. �DEB (STEPHENS) KALARITIS ’78 MARKETED TELECOMMUNICATIONS GIANTS Deb (Stephens) Kalaritis ’78 worked in the telecommunications industry in its heyday, when communications technology was rapidly developing. It was 1978, long before cell phones could be found in everyone’s pockets. A new Wilkes graduate, Deb went to work for industry giant AT&T. “I was part of a marketing organization that was developed within AT&T,” Deb says. “I loved every day that I worked there.” Focusing on business-to-business marketing of AT&T’s products, she was based in St. Louis while her husband completed his doctorate at Washington University. “My last job in St. Louis was implementing a private network for Southwestern Bell,” she recalls. The project was the largest electronic tandem network, or ETN, ever installed at the time. The terminology refers to technology used to route calls within a private company network. Her efforts earned Deb a promotion to the Competitive Assessment Organization at AT&T’s headquarters in Basking Ridge, N.J. and a position in the Management Development Program. During her time in New Jersey, she earned an MBA at Fairleigh Dickinson University, where she would later teach as an adjunct professor. In 1988, when Panos accepted a position with Abbott Laboratories in Chicago, Deb transitioned to the AT&T regional vice president’s staff. In the Windy City, Deb made her next major career move, joining the technology consulting firm now known as Accenture. As marketing director, Deb helped position the global firm’s cutting-edge business solutions within the telecommunications industry. “I interfaced with some amazing visionaries at Accenture,” Deb recalls. “Al Burgess was at the top of the pack. He was the global telecommunications visionary at Accenture.” Burgess, who was a managing partner at the time, is credited with initiating several firsts during his career at Accenture, including the creation of the annual Customer Contact Forum in 1989, which is the global communications industry’s premier conference for senior-level executives. “I would set up interviews for him with national and industry publications (Business Week, Newsweek, Telephony), and he could speak eloquently and brilliantly about anything to do with the telecommunications industry; absolutely an amazing man,” Deb says. Panos’ move to South Carolina with Hoffman La Roche brought with it the opportunity to start her own marketing consulting firm, Mercury Communications. Accenture became one of her customers during the five years that she ran the firm. More recently, Deb runs her second business start-up, Evelpis LLC, a real estate development and management company with vacation and residential rental properties in the Myrtle Beach, S.C., area. Evelpis is also parent to two partnerships with another Wilkes graduate, her brother, Joseph Stephens, Jr. ’79. Eline-Stephens focuses on commercial real estate in Maryland while Evelpis Aruba features vacation rentals at Desert Dolphin, an estate home in Aruba. Deb also has turned her marketing acumen to philanthropic efforts, including fundraising for the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and the Florence Symphony Orchestra. She says her philanthropic direction focused early in her career. Her parents had always been civic-minded but, she states, “My interest in philanthropy came from my time at AT&T where community involvement was an organizational objective.”� WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 Deb (Stephens) Kalaritis coordinates her work for the real estate start-up Evelpis LLC and for many philanthropic projects from her home office in South Carolina. 13 �Artistic Vision Sordoni Art Gallery Opens the Doors to New Home With Warhol Exhibit WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 By Geoff Gehman 14 Zigzagging through the opening-night crowd for the opening exhibit of the new Sordoni Art Gallery, people are staring at Andy Warhol’s iconic images: Marilyn Monroe, Jackie O., Brillo. No two people experience Warhol’s art the same way and part of a gallery’s purpose is to provide myriad ways to enter the experience. In its new location with a new director, the Sordoni Art Gallery aims to do that. The bigger, better Sordoni Art Gallery debuted in October beside the new Karambelas Media and Communications Center on South Main Street. It has 7,000 square feet, nearly double than in its previous home in Stark Learning Center. State-of-the-art climate control and convenient parking also are upgrades. Three years ago, Wilkes President Patrick F. Leahy began campaigning for a gallery that was more engaging and empowering. He envisioned a place with more space for a wider range of exhibits and programs to attract visitors, drawing not only arts veterans but arts rookies. The gallery would reflect the University’s investments in academic programs, people and campus infrastructure, all part of the Gateway to the Future strategic plan. “In my opinion, you can’t be a true university without an enduring commitment to the arts,” Leahy said during the Sordoni’s opening ceremony. Leahy’s vision was quickly championed by Andrew J. Sordoni III, who helped launch the Sordoni Art Gallery in 1973 with his artist mother, who provided a naming gift from the family foundation he now heads. Sordoni shared Leahy’s vision to make the gallery more vital. Increasing the endowment for exhibits, they reasoned, would attract shows spotlighting bigger artists, leading to increased attendance. The plan involved judiciously selling some works from the permanent collection, generating more than $600,000 to push the endowment past $1.3 million. Leahy praises Sordoni as an open-minded steward. “I’m glad to lock arms with him,” he says. “I’m very grateful to him for �Above, Grace Leahy, daughter of Wilkes President Patrick F. Leahy, and a friend consider the Warhol exhibit at the opening of the Sordoni Art Gallery. Right, a new era for the Sordoni Art Gallery at its October rededication. Doing the honors at the ribbon cutting are, from left, Paul Riggs, dean of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, William Sordoni, Wilkes trustee Bill Miller ’81, gallery director Heather Sincavage, President Patrick F. Leahy and Student Government President Cody Morcom. “�You can’t be a true university without an enduring commitment to the arts.” – Wilkes President Patrick F. Leahy lending credibility to a bold investment in the arts via a slightly different model.” “A university has to serve its students, its community, its mission, as it evolves,” says Sordoni. “The arts are fragile; for the arts to survive and thrive, everyone has to buy into the commitment.” Two summers ago while visiting Pittsburgh, Leahy identified the artist whose work would launch the new gallery. In the city’s Andy Warhol Museum, he saw that his four children were impressed by their first exposure to his jarringly colored Pop pictures. If Warhol’s works could captivate his kids, they could captivate Sordoni visitors, especially novice gallery goers. Leahy found a Warhol ally in Heather Sincavage, who became the Sordoni’s new director in June 2016. She too fell under Warhol’s spell as a youngster. Four decades later, Warhol played a role in her job as director of a new gallery at the University of Maine at Presque Isle. She curated a Warhol show there and acquired Warhol prints, including a silkscreen of Sitting Bull, the Native American chief. Sincavage included the Sitting Bull picture in the Warhol show she curated at Wilkes. She covered a wall with Warhol’s Polaroids, most studies for his “vanity” silkscreens of such celebrities as musician Carly Simon and choreographer Martha Graham. During the opening reception, the Polaroids were a backdrop as attendees were photographed with a Warhol impersonator wearing a suit the color of tomato soup. Another Warhol ally was Bill Miller ’81, a Wilkes trustee and a distributor of Warholian merchandise. As president of Galison Publishing LLC/Mudpuppy Press, he works with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts to produce everything from crayons with signature colors like Jackie O. Pink to an hourglass that empties after 15 seconds, invoking Warhol’s infamous prediction that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. Miller persuaded the foundation to lend a 54-minute film, projected from floor to ceiling, of slightly moving head shots of 13 ’60s celebrities, including rock musician Lou Reed and actor/director Dennis Hopper. Sincavage also is an assistant professor of integrative media and art. One of her goals is to make the gallery an extension of Wilkes’ academic programs. The women’s and gender studies program will be among the first. In January she’ll launch the initiative with the exhibit “The Bones of Us Hunger for Nothing,” a series of Angela Fraleigh’s realistic, abstract paintings of women in classical settings usually dominated by men. Later in spring semester, the gallery will host a poster workshop led by a member of the Guerrilla Girls, the feminist activist group. Sincavage also plans programming to draw students and community members to the gallery. During fall semester, this included a visit from a mobile glass-blowing studio and a series of “Warhol Wednesdays” lectures. “I want to break down the intimidating factor, especially for first timers,” she says. “I want to make the Sordoni a place where they can really start a lifelong love of the arts, a place that will inspire them to hop on that Martz [Trailways] bus and head into New York.” Warhol began his career as an illustrator. It seems fitting then that the Sordoni will end its 2017-18 season with a spring exhibit of nearly 100 works from Andrew Sordoni’s vaunted collection of classic American illustrations and comic strips. Illustrator heavyweights include N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish and Alberto Vargas. “Art, if it’s attractive and worthy, deserves to be loved, deserves to be seen,” says Sordoni. “The whole point is to share.”� WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 PHOTOS BY KNOT JUST ANY DAY 15 �Collaborative Communicators WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 New Karambelas Media and Communication Center Launches New Era By Vicki Mayk MFA’13 and Sarah Bedford ’17 A centralized newsroom with computers and meeting space in the Karambelas Media and Communication Center promotes a collaborative environment for students.

WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 W ilkes junior communication studies major J.M. Rey has a window on the world these days—at least the world outside the new Clayton and Theresa Karambelas Media and Communication Center. Rey, production director for campus radio station WCLH, has gone from cramped quarters in a hard-tofind area of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center to a spacious, state-of-the art studio that looks out on the street through tall windows at 141 S. Main St. Passersby can hear WCLH’s programming broadcast from speakers placed outside. “Now people walking by can see you, say hi, and promote the station,” Rey says. “Now when you’re doing a live show they can hear what you’re playing out in the street. It’s just great to hear reactions and see people jamming out and everything; it’s just so cool.” Rey sums up his first reaction to seeing the new facility in three words: “My jaw dropped.” His reaction is shared by many who visit the new center. Dedicated in August, the $4 million, 14,000-square-foot building houses the communication studies program, consolidating all classes and activities into one modern facility where students can collaborate across media disciplines. Previously, the cocurricular activities that enhance students’ academic experience, such as The Beacon newspaper, WilkesNow television program and Zebra Communications, the student-run public relations agency, were scattered in various locations around campus. The center is named in honor of Clayton and Theresa Karambelas, who made one of the largest gifts in Wilkes history to support the project. Clayton Karambelas earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Wilkes College in 1949. He and his wife, Theresa, are the previous owners of the Boston Candy Shop & Restaurant and C.K. Coffee. In 2016, they were honored with the University’s President’s Medal, presented annually to individuals whose personal and professional lives reflect the highest aspirations of Wilkes University. The new center is designed to promote a collaborative experience for students, according to Mark Stine, professor and chair of the communication studies department. “Convergence in the media and in the communication-related fields is a reality that’s upon us. This center gives students the opportunity to work in an integrated environment to learn and practice the collaborative skills they’ll need in order to thrive in today’s communication industries,” Stine says. On the following pages, student leaders from the communication studies student organizations share their enthusiasm for their new home. 17 �Zawadi Nshimirmana Senior, Communication Studies Vice President of Client Relations, Zebra Communications Concentrations: Strategic Communication, Multimedia Journalism Hometown: Bethlehem, Pa.

I had no idea as a kid what I would be doing with my life,” she says. Today she has a much higher world view. Gurry is not only a pilot but a lieutenant colonel, squadron commander, teacher and mentor to the next generation of aviators in the United States Air Force. In high school at Notre Dame of East Stroudsburg, Gurry thought she might want to teach. When she told her guidance counselor that she wanted to teach college students, he laughed and replied, “You have to learn something first.” Gurry took the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test, or ASVAB, scoring in the 99th percentile on the mechanical section of the test. She decided to pursue an ROTC scholarship to help cover college costs. �Lt. Col. Deirdre Gurry, Enid, Okla. Bachelor of Science, Mechanical Engineering, Wilkes Opposite page, Lt. Col. Deirdre Gurry ’99 stands next to her aircraft—a T-6 Texan II—which she pilots as the commander of a squadron of T-6 pilots. PHOTO COURTESY U.S. AIR FORCE Master of Business Administration, Trident University International Master of Military Operational Art and Science, Air University, Air Command and Staff College Career: One of an elite group of women pilots in the U.S. Air Force. First female commander of the 8th Flying Training Squadron at Vance Air Force Base. Noteworthy: Gurry’s call sign—the nickname pilots use to refer to each other— is “Nuke.” She’s tight-lipped about its origins, but says, “Everybody earns their call sign. It’s a rite of passage.” Though her days are anything but typical, Gurry tries to fly every day with the students. As a T-6 instructor, she gives her students a solid foundation—from take-off and landing to aerobatics and formation fundamentals—that will translate to every aircraft. She enjoys performing aerobatics while flying in formation. “I like to fly upside down. It’s my favorite thing.” Gurry is hard-pressed to name any specific challenges she’s faced during her Air Force career. Though she has not received every assignment she’s hoped for, she never let it slow her down. “When given a project, whether I like the project or not, I dive into it and own it and make it the best that I could make it. I show up every day with pride and enthusiasm.” Longtime friend and current Wilkes associate professor of pharmacy practice Dan Longyhore saw that same spirit in Gurry, first when they were high school and then college classmates. “She takes on absolutely anything and excels at it,” says Longyhore. Longyhore recalls time spent with Gurry in the roller hockey club at Wilkes. When other players were content to take it easy, Gurry was always focused. “She was motivated and determined and positive. She was like the coach.” The lieutenant colonel’s drive hasn’t changed from her days in the Marts Center. “There’s no surprise in my mind that she’s where she’s at today,” says Longyhore. Gurry hasn’t thought much about life after the Air Force. “I feel that when I get out of the military, I get to start a whole new life, and I don’t know where to go with it.” She may pursue a master’s degree in architecture to satisfy an interest in art. She may travel around to air shows, promoting STEM education by showing off her plane and getting kids excited about the mechanics behind it. “I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up,” she says. Whatever she decides, no doubt Gurry will make a smooth landing.� WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 When she completed the scholarship application, she says, “It’s the first time I ever saw a list of majors.” Encouraged by her high ASVAB score and her fondness for tinkering in the garage with her dad, Gurry checked off mechanical engineering on the list. Visiting Wilkes for the ROTC scholarship interview, Gurry discovered the campus would be an ideal place to spend the next four years. It was close to home, offered a major in mechanical engineering and provided room and board as part of the Air Force ROTC scholarship. “My engineering experience at Wilkes was incredible,” she says. “I loved that we had small classes. It was more of a small-group setting, which really helps in engineering.” Gurry took advantage of hands-on experience in the machine shop, learning how machines work and figuring out how to build things. Outside of class, Gurry occasionally rode into sporting events on horseback as the Wilkes Colonel, though she spent most of her time with the AFROTC detachment. “I enjoyed the program. I enjoyed the structure. I worked well in that environment. I showed up with enthusiasm.” Her enthusiasm led to a spot in the pilot training program at Mississippi’s Columbus Air Force Base, then an invite to stay on as an instructor. “I ended up with my dream career of teaching college kids,” Gurry laughs. “I’m one of the luckiest people in the world.” Luck may play a part, but Gurry demonstrates serious skill in the air. She piloted the C-17 Globemaster III, a large military cargo plane, as well as the T-37 and now the T-6, two-person aircraft used to teach new pilots. Gurry’s service has taken her to all seven continents. As a cargo pilot, she’s been deployed to Iraq in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom, transporting servicemen and supplies in and out of combat zones. She also enjoyed time in Ferrara, Italy, serving as an airlift liaison to NATO, practicing military movements on paper and planning cargo movements. It was “essentially wargaming,” says Gurry. Promoted to lieutenant colonel in October 2014, she took command of the 8th Flying Training Squadron at Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma in June 2017, the first woman to do so. As squadron commander, Gurry oversees 68 pilots and 110 student pilots annually. She not only teaches pilots in training, but mentors those across the base. “I really enjoy mentoring people and seeing people grow and meet their potential.” Gurry’s mentoring extends to the Supergirls, a group for female pilots that she helped to found. As one of 713 women out of 12,600 pilots in the Air Force, she’s committed to making sure her colleagues have a voice and the support they need. 23 �Creative Community AN ORAL HISTORY OF MANUSCRIPT’S 70 YEARS AS WILKES’ LITERARY MAGAZINE WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 By James Jaskolka ’16 24 Above, Manuscript covers and art culled from the publication’s seven decades. From left to right are the cover from the 1999 edition, the graphic “Eve of the Second Millenium” by Donna Bytheway ’96 and the cover from spring 1960. In the first issue of Manuscript published in 1947, the editors expressed their hope that the literary magazine would become a college tradition of which they might all be proud. As the publication marks its 70th anniversary, it’s clear their dream was realized. Founded as a way to ensure free and open speech in creative work, Manuscript Society and the publication it produces serve as a vital creative outlet at Wilkes. Visual art and writing are accepted from students, faculty or alumni, guaranteeing that each edition reflects Wilkes’ best creative work. Manuscript Society also hosts creative events such as open mics, writing workshops, film showcases and the annual unveiling of Manuscript every spring, where the creators celebrate by reading their works or discussing their art. Sean J. Kelly and Chad Stanley are both associate professors of English and co-advisors of Manuscript. They share a vision for the value it brings to the student experience. �CENSORSHIP AND ARTISTIC FREEDOM An emphasis on free expression distinguished Manuscript from its earliest years. Kross:  I was a pain in the butt for the people there, because my senior year I wrote an article on H.L. Mencken’s view of Christianity. … Of course, it was anti-Christian. At that time, I was in a rebellious stage. … I was told that Dr. Farley was not pleased when he saw the Manuscript out. In this oral history, editors from all generations reflect on their experience with Manuscript. INSPIRATIONAL LOCATION For generations of Wilkes students, working on Manuscript meant time spent in Kirby Hall. Ron [Kryznewski] Kross ’60: We met at Kirby Hall, but at that time, Kirby Hall was the main library … the smaller room on the first floor was the card catalog room; what they call the salon now was a reading and study room … it was a wonderful place in a wonderful school. Jim Warner ’99 MFA’09:  Kirby Hall was a great place for reading. It still is. … The weekly meetings we had used to be in the old alumni offices in the top floor of Kirby, and that place was like a clubhouse for us. We got work done, but it was also a place where a lot of friendships were codified. Read selections from 70 years of Manuscript—including work written by the alumni interviewed in this story—online. To view poetry and prose from seven decades of Wilkes’ literary magazine, please go to www.wilkes.edu/manuscriptanniversary Ray Klimek ’78: There was one issue where we printed something by a woman about Joan of Arc. … I think the clincher line was something like “they couldn’t [expletive] her so they made her a saint…” and this became the subject of a little bit of controversy. … We always had the support of the faculty, which was great because they were like, “We aren’t approving of censorship, they can do whatever they want.” Elyse Guziewicz ’18:  I can’t speak for all of the faculty or the administration, but the English faculty value creativity. As an organization, Manuscript prides itself on not censoring sensitive material and promoting the inclusion of all creative material in our canon. Even if the administration tried to step in, I think both the English faculty and the Manuscript staff would resist that full-force. Warner:  We were never really censored … We had controversial things, issues of sexual identity, drug use … but when you’re in college, being able to discover those spaces to talk about things that were taboo is important … I was fortunate enough to be with a department that gave us free rein. Above, the work “Artist’s Lament” by Hedy (Horbaczewski) Prater ’60 from the 1960 Manuscript. Left, the photograph “Self Portrait” by Murnal Abate ’87 MBA ’94 appeared in the 1985 edition. WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 “There has always been a core group who strongly self-identify as poets, novelists or visual artists. These students often keep writing and even publishing long after graduation. If Manuscript didn’t exist, they would have to invent it,” Kelly says. Stanley adds, “I think it is a crucial medium for students engaging in studies in creative writing, art, or design—and for students who have relevant interests in such work but are not majoring in those fields. It complements education in many ways, and extends education and culture.” Although much about Manuscript has changed over 70 years, reflecting the changing University and the city surrounding it, much remains the same. Interviews with previous editors reflect common themes of community and creativity and the long-term influence that producing Manuscript had on improving skills and influencing careers. 25 �MENTORS Working closely with faculty mentors was a memorable part of working on Manuscript. Deirdre Swinden ’95: I worked with Dr. Bonnie Bedford [Culver]…she was very open with everything we wanted to do. She sort of let us have free rein over Manuscript itself … she was really a wonderful resource. She simply said, ‘Think and then do,’ and that’s what we did. Karen Mason ’85: Bob and Pat ’61 Heaman [professors of English], they were real mentors for me … They were really willing to take students under their wing, spend time with students and help them. … Manuscript in a lot of ways was about relationships to me, and about having a connection. … it was a lot about community. Klimek: Bob Heaman used to have parties every year. We’d go to his house in the woods and hang out. It was a good way to get to know your professors in a more intimate setting, rather than a formal one. It was an important experience for me, to be treated seriously by someone I respected. … there’s a lot of interaction that way, and a lot of support for Manuscript as well … it was a very special kind of thing. LESSONS LEARNED, VALUE GAINED Manuscript added as much to the educational experience as time spent in the classroom. WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 Warner: I was a pretty shy kid, so [writing] was a way for me to try to connect. Things like literary magazines and literary communities are places where the intangible is made flesh. … it’s a space for those connections to be made real … and the older I get, the more important that’s become to me … I think Manuscript planted that seed early on, that it wasn’t just about my work. There’s all this out here. … It kind of gave you that idea, that you’re not creating in a vacuum. 26 Kross: The greatest thing at the time was getting the feedback from the group. It didn’t always happen in the English classes, because the English classes were bigger. … when you wrote something for the Manuscript, people would discuss it, and you could go back and rewrite. Swinden: To have [your work] critiqued by your peers at a university level and get that feedback … is really vital to everyone’s creative process. You can write as many stories as you want, but if nobody sees them, you’re only writing for yourself. Klimek: I think the most important thing was that there were sets of values there that could be applied in all kinds of circumstances. It’s something that comes from studying literature, studying humanities, and studying the arts …It’s learning to ask the right questions, learning to question your own motives, learning to question the values of the culture that you live in. Sarah Simonovich’15: Part of the reason Manuscript was such a positive influence in my life was the creation … being able to put something out there that you’re proud of. We live in a world where it’s so easy to see the negative and all the bad things that people do…but at the end of the day, people are creators. Whether you’re creating text, visual art… if you’re creating in a community, that in itself is such an inherently good thing. PROGRAMMING BEYOND PRINT For 70 years, Manuscript Society has enriched campus life with cultural events that touched the community beyond campus. Mason: We would show films that were open to the public… Hitchcock films, James Dean…that was another way to connect with people and establish a presence for Manuscript. Klimek: The advantage to that was it encouraged a discussion about a common experience, which is harder to do when you’re watching DVDs on your computer screen. I think that fulfilled a really important service, not only to other students but to the larger community … these were people that were sort of starved for foreign films or art films. Warner: When I was at Wilkes we were lucky enough to have writers like Edward Albee and John Updike visit. … having these people come, interact and give their time were sort of models for me on how you’re supposed to act. Swinden: We had Joyce Carol Oates come to dinner, which was an incredible experience for those who were invited to attend. It was great to have people like that to show us that writing isn’t something you could just do on the side, that it was something you could use to express yourself in ways you hadn’t thought of before. �From left, a selection of artwork from Manuscript includes an untitled work from 1999 by Colleen (McKinnon) Boyer ’99, “Computer Cat” from the 1985 edition by Tim Williams ’85, MS’01 and an untitled work by an anonymous artist that appeared in 1995. Manuscript has a tradition of printing anonymous work. LONG-TERM IMPACT Alumni agree that Manuscript was a life-changing part of the Wilkes experience, providing lessons that impacted their careers. Simonovich: Manuscript was the first time I was in a leadership position … It was a learning experience … learning to understand other people’s perceptions.You think, ‘How can I approach this problem, whether its textual or with people, in a different critical way?’ I learned an appreciation for other people’s worldviews and their interpretations of things. Klimek: I just taught my first class of the semester, History of Photography, and I made a big point about photography being, you know, not just taking nice pictures, but a kind of thinking … being both a creative tool and a critical tool … so in that way, Manuscript still informs my ways of thinking. It did make me more confident in my judgments and probably prepared me to be a teacher. Guziewicz: Manuscript has done wonders for my professional and organizational skills, especially since I stepped up as executive editor last year. I had to learn how to communicate to a group, organize events, run meetings, and put together a publication pretty much on the fly as I was the only one returning from the senior staff ... Mason: Part of [my job] is writing a two-page letter of recommendation for every student I advise … we’re comprising that from the facts of the student’s life and shaping it into a story, which is definitely a creative act … I’m also looking at tons of essays, helping students revise, so I use those skills I developed at Manuscript every day. Swinden: It enabled me to move better in the world, and to obtain my first job in communications. Being part of Manuscript helped me learn how to refine my writing skills and techniques, and that I had a resource to show off my editing skills professionally— which in turn enabled me to have a career as a writer and an editor. If I hadn’t been involved with Manuscript, I’m not sure I’d have thought of publishing my own novel, helping to realize a lifelong passion of mine. Warner: Everybody has that moment where something gives you the permission to create, to write. For me, that moment was Manuscript…being the editor gave me confidence about my own work.� Alumni Interviewed for the Oral History The following are the alumni and current students—all editors of Manuscript— interviewed in this oral history.

They began their three-year terms in June. The five new directors share their favorite memory about their Wilkes experience: KATHY KAUTTER ’72 Independent arts and crafts professional Brian Palmiter ’13 Fred Pierantoni ’80 I spent six years getting my undergraduate degree, starting full time and ending up going part time...while working full time. With that frantic schedule, I found a little oasis of quiet and comfort in the old Kirby Hall Library. On one of the upper floors, tucked away behind some bookshelves, was a little room with a solitary chair—a big old comfortable chair—that looked out over the Commons. I like to think that I spent a lot of time reading and studying in that chair, but I think I often dozed off to get some much needed rest. I am so happy to see the direction that Wilkes University is taking in 2017 and beyond. ...I want to do whatever I can to help any student who wants to succeed at this great school. BRIAN PALMITER ’13 Civil designer, Borton-Lawson Engineering Alyssa Stencavage ’15 WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 Kate Thomas ’15 28 It is difficult to pick my absolute favorite thing about my Wilkes experience because I loved everything about my four years at the University. …If I had to point out one thing... I would have to say (it would be) my freshmen year living in Catlin Hall. ...As to be expected, putting two dozen men in such a close-knit environment led to frequent fun … I still keep in close touch with several people from Catlin Hall and they are among my best friends to this day. … My point of all this is that life at Wilkes is amazing, not just in the classroom, but around the entire campus.You feel like you are a part of a community … Being a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors allows me to give back to the University that treated me so well. FRED PIERANTONI ’80 Judge, Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas As a student I enjoyed my time at Wilkes as I received a quality education, which provided an opportunity to achieve my career goals while developing many lasting friendships. I also enjoyed the co-curricular activities. I particularly cherish the time I spent as a disc jockey and station manager at WCLH. As a proud legacy parent, I am honored to serve on the Alumni Association Board of Directors, mentor current students and provide internship guidance while encouraging other graduates to share their own experience and become involved in the Wilkes community. ALYSSA STENCAVAGE ’15 Marketing Coordinator, Aramark This might sound cliché, but I loved the tight-knit connection that exists in the Wilkes community and the relationships that form between students and professors and all others on campus. The professors knew me personally and I could always go to them with a question or concern. Not only did this serve me well during my time at Wilkes, but it has also been beneficial in my post-graduate life … I’m excited about the opportunity to serve on the Alumni Board because it allows me to come back to campus with a fresh and different perspective and also see things in a slightly different light. KATE THOMAS ’15 Assistant director of undergraduate admissions, Wilkes My favorite thing about Wilkes is that there are so many opportunities on campus to get involved and allow yourself to grow. As a student, I met some of my closest friends by getting involved in different activities through my classes, sport and student clubs. As an admissions counselor, I get to work with prospective students and share my story, as well as work with enrolled students who share the same passion for the University that I do, which makes me even more proud to represent the Alumni Association.

PHOTO COURTESY NICHOLAS PAPPAS Gene, a family-oriented, hard-working man, always believed in giving back and he greatly appreciated that path that led him to a fulfilling education at Wilkes. To create a legacy for Gene, Nick established an endowed scholarship so that students can benefit from Gene’s generosity for years to come. The scholarship recipient will be an undergraduate student who demonstrates academic ability, good character and The late Eugene Pappas ’72, pictured far right, worked on a project that involved working with former New York Gov.

One student will receive the scholarship each year, with the first awardee in the 2019-2020 academic year. While at Wilkes, Gene worked at the Osterhout Library. After graduation, he was hired full-time, but then had the opportunity to receive his master’s degree from the Pratt Institute in New York City, N.Y. While he was in graduate school, he took a part-time position at McKinsey & Co, a global management consulting firm in New York City. He worked his way up through the company, spending more than 30 years of his professional career there as a banking consultant and senior partner in New York and Paris. When he passed away, he was semi-retired and still working for McKinsey & Co. as a senior advisor. “He was on-the-go a lot. He was a frequent flyer on the Concorde for business purposes,” says Nick. “He was able to maintain residency in the Wyoming Valley area and Paris.” His career afforded him many opportunities, including working on a study produced by McKinsey & Co. for New York City. The project enabled him to meet luminaries such as Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Gene’s generosity lives on through his scholarship at Wilkes. “A scholarship just seemed to be the best long-term investment,” says Nick. Although he considered other options to create a legacy for his brother, Wilkes seemed the best choice. “The impact would not have been as direct as it is at Wilkes. He’s helping someone to get the same start he had.” ESTABLISHING AN ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP The benefits to endowed scholarships are endless. With your donation, students at Wilkes will benefit from your generosity in perpetuity. At Wilkes, endowed scholarships require a minimum gift of $50,000.

WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 When Eugene Pappas ’72 arrived on the Wilkes campus in 1968, he was a first-generation college student with a scholarship award and a dream. Gene passed away in May 2016 and left behind many loving family members and friends, as well as his impeccable collection of personal records. “He had records from the ’60s, including paystubs, and even his original scholarship letter from Wilkes in 1968,” says Nicholas Pappas, Gene’s brother. Seeing the letter made an impression. “Had he not received the scholarship, he probably would not have gone to Wilkes. I don’t think he would have had the same path.” 29 �class notes Jason Homza ’11 MS ’14 Honored as Pat Tillman Scholar For Commitment to Service When Jason Homza ’11 MS ’14’s oldest brother, Joe, became and leadership potential, critically injured in a head-on crash while serving in the Marines, a true sense of vocation he was not expected to survive.

After graduating from Wilkes, she worked in a retail pharmacy until she had the opportunity to become a Commissioned Corps officer for the U.S. Public Health Service in September 2016. Konosky became interested in working in a prison after completing Lt.

Less than a year after achieving her goal of working for the Public Health Service, her training was put to the test when Hurricane Harvey barreled down on Texas. Konosky was deployed to help with the relief effort. “USPHS officers have day jobs, but we get deployed for humanitarian relief efforts,” she says. During her two-week deployment, Konosky worked in San Antonio, restocking ambulances with supplies to send out to areas in need. She then headed to Houston, where she was stationed in the NRG Stadium parking lot to help disperse medical supplies to ambulances serving the flooded areas. “When we were in Houston, we flew with the Army Reserve to Beaumont to resupply the ambulances,” she said. “Ambulances couldn’t get back to Houston, so we flew to them.” Konosky humbly sees her work in Texas as part of her job. She was excited to be able to help and carry on the mission of the U.S. Public Health Service to protect, promote and advance the health and safety of the nation. “I felt prepared when I got deployed to Texas, largely because of my Alternative Spring Breaks and mission work I did through Wilkes,” she explained. Konosky took trips to the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica for Alternative Spring Break and mission trips, and she also spent time in Uganda for a five-week rotation that included time in the Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala and two weeks in a rural clinic where WILKES | Fall/Winter 2017 the closest hospital was four hours away.

Standing just over 4-feet tall, Doris Saracino was a giant when it came to women’s athletics. She believed in equality for female athletes and fought hard to make sure they got that. Saracino—called Dorie by her letterwomen—died June 2 at 81, leaving behind a family who loved her dearly and a nation of female athletes who owe her so much. The mission of Dorie Saracino began when she accepted a position as an educator in the athletic department at Wilkes College in 1960—12 years before Title IX became law, forcing mandatory equality for women in education and athletics. Dorie spent 34 years at Wilkes, where she became affectionately known as the “Mother of Wilkes Women’s Athletics” and where her mission of advocating for female athletes would continue until the day she died.

Significant funds would need to be raised in order to meet the ambitions outlined in the plan, so work began on the Gateway to the Future Campaign. The largest and most comprehensive fundraising effort in University history, the Gateway to the Future Campaign aspires to raise $55 million dollars in support of transformative campus enhancements, endowments for research and scholarships, and annual resources. In the four years since the start of the Campaign, we have raised more than $45 million to advance Wilkes University. To see evidence of this progress, all you need to do is step foot on campus. The Campus Gateway Project has reshaped the Fenner Quadrangle and areas surrounding the Henry Student Center. Investments in Stark Learning Center, including the new Mark Engineering Center, have transformed an aging academic building into a showpiece. In addition, properties along South Main Street continue to be redeveloped in support of our academic programs. The Sordoni Art Gallery welcomed record numbers during its inaugural year in its new location and students continue to thrive in the Karambelas Media and Communications Center. Many more less obvious aspects of the Wilkes experience have been improved through the generosity of donors. Programs were established to enable Wilkes students to study abroad.

While much has been achieved since 2012, there is more work to be done. During this final and most critical stage of the Campaign, we will need the support of all of our alumni to ensure success. This fundraising effort allows you to direct your funds to the area of Wilkes that means the most to you. Your contribution is more than just a financial commitment— it is also a display of your pride in Wilkes. You see, the percentage of alumni who give to their alma mater is the only way third-party rankings measure alumni satisfaction. So I urge you to reflect on your Wilkes experience and make a gift of any amount in support of the Gateway to the Future Campaign. I hope that you will consider the ways in which you can help us build the Gateway to the Future here at Wilkes. Dr. Patrick F.

To see photos of the renovated space, please turn to page 20. The center is named in honor of Randy ’81 and Robin Mark, who made a leadership gift to support the project. Randy Mark earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Wilkes. He is the owner and president of Pulverman, a global manufacturer of precision metal components located in Dallas, Pa. He has served on the University’s board of trustees since 2013. “We are humbled to be part of the Wilkes University community. The growth and success of Pulverman is the culmination of a great education, a community that fosters entrepreneurship and many dedicated and innovative people,” Mark said. “It is our hope that the Mark Engineering Center will inspire innovation and encourage success among Wilkes students for years to come.” The center was also funded by a $3 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. “The growth and success of Pulverman is the culmination of a great education, a community that fosters entrepreneurship and many dedicated and innovative people.” – Randy Mark ’81 Robin and Randy ’81 Mark, pictured left, celebrate the unveiling of the sign for the Mark Engineering Center at the Sept. 14 dedication.

Kirby Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship Marks 25th Anniversary The Allan P. Kirby Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship celebrated 25 years as a force for economic development in the region with a Nov. 16 dinner at the Westmoreland Club. The event celebrated the center’s successes during a quarter century on the Wilkes campus. The center and its location on West South Street were established in 1993 through a generous gift from Allan P. Kirby Jr. Working with then-Wilkes President Christopher Breiseth and the University’s chief financial officer, Paul O’Hop, Kirby established a center that would promote free enterprise and entrepreneurship as central to American society. The center was named in honor of Kirby’s father. The center’s earliest focus was academic, providing the region’s first undergraduate major in entrepreneurship at Wilkes. Arlen Lessin served briefly as its first director. In 1996, Jeffrey Alves became director and distinguished professor of entrepreneurship. An established leader in entrepreneurship education, under his leadership the University established majors and minors in entrepreneurship in the Sidhu School of Business as well as a concentration in the Master of Business Administration Program and interdisciplinary programs with other departments on campus. During the 25-year history of the center, the Allan P. Kirby Lecture Series has been one of its most successful initiatives, bringing to campus leaders in a variety of business-related fields. The day before the anniversary celebration, the Allan P. Kirby Lecture was to be delivered by Jake Wood, founder and CEO of Team Rubicon, a nonprofit organization that trains and deploys military veterans to disaster zones in the U.S. and around the world. Wood spoke about “The One and the Nine: Building Teams and Organizations that Win.” Past lectures included Steve Forbes, chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes Media, Andrew Ross Sorkin, author of Too Big to Fail, Jerry Greenfield, co-founder of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, and Martin Eberhard, founder and former CEO of Tesla Motors, among others. With the advent of Rodney Ridley in 2014 as executive director and distinguished professor, the center developed a new focus, providing support and services designed to help start-up businesses to grow. Support provided to businesses includes office space ANNIVERSARY Allan P. Kirby Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship in the Allan P. Kirby center’s business incubator, and a full range of services provided via a network of volunteer business mentors. These services include accounting, marketing, technology and legal services. Twenty-four businesses received support in the 2017-2018 academic year, with 15 started by Wilkes students, faculty and staff. Wilkes students derive additional benefits from the center via the Kirby Scholars program. This group of students is selected via a rigorous application process among Wilkes’ academic departments. They benefit from networking and mentoring opportunities. Most importantly, they add valuable experience to their resumes via the work they do with the businesses associated with the center.

Residential College Dean for Saybrook College and Lecturer, American Studies at Yale University. What attracted you to the job at Wilkes? As a student, then an administrator, in Villanova’s honors program, honors education has long figured significantly in my understanding and value of a university education. I welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with campus colleagues to provide Wilkes students with similarly rich and rewarding curricular and co-curricular experiences. Can you describe your responsibilities as honors program director? The role engages students and colleagues from throughout the university, from admissions and marketing to all of the academic departments and disciplines in which our undergraduates are involved. In collaboration with the Honors Advisory Council, a cross-disciplinary faculty body supporting the work of the program, the director administers program operations ranging from curricular planning to grant funding for student’s co-curricular opportunities to community events. Will you be teaching at Wilkes as well as directing the honors program? Yes. Through the History Department I am teaching Producing the History of 9/11 and through the First Year Foundations program I am teaching What We Can Learn from the Zombie Apocalypse. If you could tell people three things about the benefits of being in the honors program, what would they be? First, the program is guided by faculty and administrators who truly care about the students. We all share a heartfelt investment in manifesting the potential of this talented community. Second, the program is designed to support students’ enhancement of their education, through funding for experiences such as study abroad and research. Third, the students have each other—this highly-motivated, highly-achieving, interdisciplinary group can offer one another camaraderie and collaboration as they each pursue their own unique version of a Wilkes education side-byside with their peers.

(Jack) Miller ’68 with the dedication of Miller Hall. The building at 32 West South Street that houses the finance department was named for Miller in recognition of his many years of service to the University. Miller was a member of the University Board of Trustees from 1999 until his death in 2016 and served two terms as board chair. He also served as vice chair and chair of the governance committee. Miller, who earned a bachelor’s degree in commerce and finance from Wilkes, retired in 2005 as partner and vice chairman of KPMG LLP. Miller’s generosity to Wilkes included naming a geology lab and office suite in the Cohen Science Center, sponsorship of the Miller Conference Room in the Henry Student Center and the establishment of the KPMG/John R. Miller Scholarship, which is awarded to a Wilkes accounting major. Sarah Wise Miller, center, wife of the late Wilkes alumnus John B.

Hatwig, a lieutenant in the United States Navy Nurse Corps, is among 60 scholars selected from 3,000 applicants nationwide. She is pursuing her master of science in nursing as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. This is the second year a Wilkes student has earned the honor. Jason Homza, who earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Wilkes, was recognized in 2017 as a student at the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine. After her father’s untimely death, Hatwig began volunteering as a long-term care companion at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in Illinois. The mother of five and business executive was given the opportunity to develop and launch “No Veteran Dies Alone,” a federally sanctioned veterans affairs initiative designed to provide emotional and spiritual support to actively dying veterans. She went on to earn her nursing degree and was commissioned as a Navy Nurse Corps officer. Hatwig coached patients and families through their most challenging days as an emergency nurse. Deployed to Afghanistan, her trauma-nursing role was twofold; first to save lives, later to save minds. While stabilizing an injured unit following a VBIED attack, Hatwig experienced patients’ overwhelming anguish and knew she could make the most significant impact as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Identifying the acute need for mental health providers, Hatwig will continue her military service after credentialing as a nurse practitioner. Hatwig’s goal is to assist service members and their families to live healthier and balanced lives. “To have two Tillman Scholars from a small university like Wilkes in back-to-back years is humbling, and speaks volumes to the quality of our students. Wilkes University fills an important place in the nation as an institution that prides itself in making a major difference in the lives of our veterans and to those who are still serving our nation like Dana,” said retired Lt. Col. Mark A. Kaster, Wilkes veterans counselor. Founded in 2008, the Tillman Scholars program supports our nation’s active duty service members, veterans and military spouses by investing in education and professional development. It provides academic scholarships, a national network and professional development opportunities, so Tillman Scholars are empowered to make an impact at home and around the world. “Wilkes University fills an important place in the nation as an institution that prides itself in making a major difference in the lives of our veterans and to those who are still serving our nation like Dana.” –L � t.

PHOTO BY KNOT JUST ANY DAY It was a machete engraved with the Wilkes logo, Schall’s name and the words “Stratford Lab Legends.” The memento commemorated the four years she spent as a student researcher in his lab. Stratford, who is an ornithologist, is assisted by students as he studies environmental impacts on bird populations, food webs and other ecology-related topics. “We had used the machetes in our field work for our research projects and it was kind of a funny, thoughtful gift,” Schall explains, adding that fellow alumna Chrissy Shonk ’17 also received one. The tool routinely is used by Stratford’s students as they cut through brush to find birds’ nests and other specimens. Both biology majors worked with Stratford year-round. After graduating, Schall took the machete with her to Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey, Pa. Shonk is now at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in North Grafton, Mass., where she is in her second year of veterinary school. Although neither chose a research career, they praise its value in their undergraduate program. “It definitely gave me a lot more confidence to pursue something that I was interested in and the ability to know that I could do it, that is for sure,” Shonk says Schall and Shonk’s experience reflects opportunities that are integral to undergraduate education at Wilkes. From the time students step on campus, they become part of a University with a research culture. Students assist faculty with grant-funded research. Or they complete their own projects, as many majors require students to complete research to earn their degrees. Wilkes’ research emphasis is unique for a university its size. Institutions who tout a research culture are most often large universities, where research primarily involves graduate students. What’s more, student involvement is incidental to the research at those schools. Wilkes faculty are quick to note the difference. “At Wilkes, it is a research culture with students at its center,” states Amjad Nazzal, associate professor of physics. “We are helping young men and women to discover themselves.” His research involves two students— junior mechanical engineering and physics major Sam Lizza and sophomore chemistry/premedical major Stephanie Ko. The project involves synthesizing crystals and exploring their optical properties. Wilkes’ commitment to research opportunities attracts prospective students. Leah Thomas, a senior premedical/biology student, says it was a deciding factor when she transferred to Wilkes as a sophomore. “Other schools didn’t have the research opportunities that we have at Wilkes,” she says. AN EVOLVING EMPHASIS During the past 20 years, there has been an evolution and strengthening of the research culture at Wilkes, says Mike Steele, H. Fenner Chair of Research Biology and head of the biology department. “We’ve always been interested in involving students in experimental questions,” Steele says. He recalls that Les Turoczi, former chair of the biology department, made a conscious decision to strengthen that focus. The benefit to students drove those decisions. “Research makes them better critical thinkers,” Steele says. As students graduate and pursue advanced degrees, they excel above their peers, he adds. Several external grants have funded student research. Two—one from the National Science Foundation in 2000 and a second from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in 2008—were among many that fueled research opportunities in biology. Since then, the University has taken the lead in providing support that encourages student research involvement in all disciplines. WILKES | Fall 2018 When Amanda Schall ’17 graduated from Wilkes, she received a present from Jeff Stratford, associate professor of biology. 11 �Anne Skleder, provost and senior vice president, says that Wilkes’ commitment to support research is reflected in its Gateway to the Future strategic plan. “One of the major goals of the strategic plan is excellence in academic programs, and it calls for support for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in faculty-sponsored research and scholarly activity,” she says. That support has taken several forms. One was a $1 million commitment to fund faculty research projects. Preference for funding is given to those involving students. Another source is University Mentoring Grants, which underwrite everything from student stipends in summer to the cost of travel to present research with faculty at international conferences. Support also comes from endowed scholarships and funds which underwrite student opportunities on campus, off campus and even abroad. (Please see the accompanying story on page 14 about alumni support for student research.) Other funding comes from myriad places, including the academic deans of Wilkes’ seven colleges and schools and from specific academic departments. The results of the increased institutional support are reflected in an annual research and scholarship symposium. Introduced in 2017, the multi-day event features more than 100 presentations by faculty and students.

PHOTO BY KNOT JUST ANY DAY 12 SUMMER RESEARCH COMMUNITY A unique part of Wilkes’ institutional support enables students to remain on campus in summer to assist with faculty research. In addition to receiving stipends offsetting the loss of wages they might have earned from summer jobs, students get free campus housing. It is a perk few schools provide for undergraduates. More than 50 students participated in summer 2018. The result is a robust summer research community. It includes weekly meetings for biology students— informally dubbed “pizza Wednesdays”— where the undergraduates take turns presenting their work to their peers. �Wilkes Students Shine at International Conferences Wilkes students present research at international professional student teams monitored plant growth. Using a one-foot-by-one- conferences in locations as diverse as Singapore, New Orleans and foot frame, the students viewed plants in 120 plots, monitoring Hawaii on topics covering an array of scientific disciplines.

Using a site where conference attendees: “When are you going to finish your Ph.D.s?” the Williams Transco Pipeline traverses property owned by Wilkes, Summer provides students with an entry to year-round involvement. Such was the case with first-year pharmacy students John Oberlin and Katy Blankenhorn who began working in summer 2018 with Ajay Bommareddy, associate professor of pharmaceutical science. Bommareddy’s research is investigating the use of alpha santalol as a treatment for prostate cancer. With four years of pharmacy school still ahead of them, the two students jumped at the chance to get a head start on research. “We are learning a lot of lab techniques in case we want to go on for a fellowship after graduation,” Oberlin says. Bommareddy says he especially enjoys working with students from the beginning of their academic careers. “It gives me great pleasure, especially working with the P1s,” he states. “I like the enthusiasm I see in those students. I want to open doors for them and see them grow over the four years.” STUDENT BENEFITS Camaraderie among students enhances the research experience. Members of Frederick’s student team reminisce about working in the rain, falling in the lake while collecting samples and discovering that leeches had attached to Heffelfinger’s legs. In biology professor Linda Gutierrez’s lab, where she researches factors influencing tumor growth, senior biology students Isaiah Pinkerton, Jacob Baranski and Leah Thomas rib each other about their work. “I’m the organized one,” Baranski says, saying he makes sure specimens are properly labeled. “Organized?” Pinkerton chortles. “You’re meticulous.” Gutierrez smiles benevolently, noting that her job is to train them to work independently. “It’s like when you are teaching your son or daughter to ride a bicycle: You give them a push and they have to go all the way by WILKES | Fall 2018 “It’s one of my favorite summer jobs I’ve ever had,” says junior environmental engineering major Scott Heffelfinger. He worked with biology Professor Ken Klemow in 2017 and returned in summer 2018 to work with Holly Frederick ’93, associate professor of earth and environmental science. Frederick’s team also included junior environmental engineering majors Kaitlin Sutton and Jillian Weston. The three spent the summer collecting water samples at North Lake in Sweet Valley, Pa., near Wilkes-Barre. They evaluated the samples to assess how nitrate and phosphate levels were affecting algae bloom, which impacted the use of the lake for residents. “This project was interesting because it had the students out at a site where the residents are interested in what is happening to the lake,” Frederick says. “As we would be sampling, the residents would ask questions or offer comments and advice. It was a good experience to know that they were interested in the results of the work.” 13 �Endowed Scholarships Support Student Research External grants and institutional support from the University underwrite many aspects of the student research experience at Wilkes. Support from alumni and friends of the University provides additional funding that enables students to pursue research both on and off campus. Recent endowed scholarships that support the research experience include: The Carolann G. and Philip A. Besler Scholarship was established The Bierly Fellowship supports a semester-long experience to support students conducting summer research overseen by for a student and may include undergraduate research, a faculty mentor for the purpose of actively participating in a study away or study abroad trips and internships.

WILKES | Fall 2018 themselves,” she says. Her student researchers affectionately refer to her as “Dr. G,” reflecting another benefit of doing research: developing close faculty relationships. Of greater significance are skills acquired. For example, working with Nazzal gave chemistry/premed studies major Ko a head start on her organic chemistry class. But perhaps the most important student benefit is exposure to the true nature of scientific inquiry, where answers are not pre-determined. “When we are doing research, we are traveling together on this journey to places where no one has been before,” Gutierrez says. Pinkerton concurs, saying 14 that he’s learned as much from mistakes as he has from successes. “In research,” he says, “we’re sitting on the edge of knowledge.” Skills honed in Wilkes labs also make graduates attractive to future employers and graduate programs. “This is how we make our students more competitive in the market,” Nazzal states. Psychology faculty Ellen Newell and Jennifer Thomas have seen the proof in the students who assist them. Thomas, an associate professor and developmental psychologist, and Newell, an assistant professor and social psychologist, are studying the physiological responses of women exposed to overt and covert forms of sexism. Their students perform a variety of functions, from monitoring study subjects to painstakingly entering data in spreadsheets. “In order to get into graduate school in psychology, the really competitive ones, you have to have that kind of experience,” Newell notes. If students do, it pays off: Newell and Thomas recall one student was admitted into all eight graduate experimental psychology programs to which she applied.

Jennifer Edmonds, associate dean, notes that the research culture is growing in Sidhu. A robust research culture will help to grow the school’s reputation, Edmonds notes. More importantly, it will drive a culture of innovation. “How you get to the point of innovation is through research,” Edmonds says. “It’s when you begin to connect the dots.”� WILKES | Fall 2018 Many academic majors require student research projects to fulfill requirements. Biology and biochemistry are just two of many requiring majors to complete senior research projects. In the engineering disciplines, year-long senior projects center around research. Psychology majors can choose to do research-based capstones. Other programs in the social sciences, such as criminology and sociology, require research papers to complete degrees. The communication studies department has made research an integral part of its curriculum. Beginning with one of their foundation courses, “Principles of Communications,” students are introduced to scholarly research through the review of journal articles. Mark Stine, professor and chair of communication studies, says, “It’s important for graduates to have a working knowledge of that literature. It makes for a much more well-rounded communication studies graduate.” Seniors complete a major research project via a two-semester class, “Research Methods.” For some students, the projects are examples of applied research, in which findings can help determine strategies for public relations campaigns or social media. One such example was the research study completed by Taylor Ryan ’16, which studied the effect of media campaigns in influencing African-Americans to become organ donors. All communication studies students complete a written research paper and make an oral presentation to faculty. “This supports our desire to graduate students who have outstanding oral and written communications,” Stine says. In 2017, the Sidhu School of Business launched a research symposium to showcase research 15 �A DREAM I THE BULLDOZERS AND EARTH MOVERS ARRIVED on campus two days after the May commencement ceremony. They left the Fenner Quadrangle less than a week before first-year students arrived on campus for fall semester. In between their arrival and departure, a series of projects created a green oasis in the center of campus, planted new trees, built walkways and put the finishing touches on a renovation to Stark Learning Center. These campus enhancements, completed during summer and early fall 2018, have achieved Wilkes’ goal of creating a traditional residential campus within the City of Wilkes-Barre. Part of a $100 million plan, the completed projects include an expanded gateway linking the southern part of campus to the Fenner Quadrangle. Other recently completed projects created new green space and a companion gateway at the south entrance to the Henry Student Center.

This meant that cases previously treated as misdemeanors could now result in up to a seven-year prison term. One of Sonnett’s cases was the first to be tried under the new law. A man had beaten his 26-year-old girlfriend and choked her till she passed out. He was charged with misdemeanor assault and second-degree strangulation. Sonnett testified in the groundbreaking trial, but the jury found the boyfriend not guilty of the second-degree charge. He served 38 days in jail for misdemeanor assault. Throughout her career, Sonnett continued to hone her counter-terrorism knowledge and skills and, in 2016, was invited to join the COBRA unit. “I was looking for people to staff the department’s counterterrorism training program and she was the first person who popped into my head,” says New York Police Lt. Matthew changed the course of her education and career: It was Sept. 11, 2001, during a public speaking class at Wilkes. Her instructor switched on a television and Sonnett watched in horror as the Twin Towers fell. “It angered me so much,” she says. “Right after 9/11, I decided to focus my career on ensuring that something like that doesn’t happen again.” It was too late for the psychology major and U.S. Air Force Reserve member to change her degree path. So Sonnett augmented her coursework with self-study, devouring books on terrorism and the Middle East. She later studied master’s degree courses in international criminal justice and counter-terrorism at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. Sonnett had hoped to apply her education to a military career, but the Air Force unexpectedly discharged her because of her sexual orientation. Before the 2011 repeal of the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, openly gay Americans could not serve in the military. Instead, she joined the New York Police Department. Today Sonnett is an instructor with the Chemical, Ordinance, Biological and Radiological Awareness (COBRA) unit, in the police department’s Counterterrorism Division. She and her colleagues teach 18,000 officers a year how to protect the public and themselves when responding to calls related to terrorism and hazardous materials. She is one of two women who are instructors in the four-person unit. The three-day COBRA course includes a day of lecture followed by two days of field exercises. Participants perform tactical operations—shooting, clearing rooms, victim extraction, and running decontamination lines—while wearing hazmat suits and breathing through a respirator. The training covers situations ranging from terrorism-related events to more common dangers encountered on the job. Sonnett cites By Koren Wetmore an example scenario of an overturned tanker surrounded by a low-lying cloud. “A cop with this training will understand how to read the truck Strong, who has known Sonnett since their days as rookie cops. placards and know that the cloud isn’t from some fire.

JOHNSON 23 �WILKES | Fall 2018 Wilkes Launches Public Phase of $55 Million Fundraising Campaign 24 Homecoming Weekend 2018—often a time to remember the past—kicked off with a celebration of Wilkes University’s future. Alumni, faculty, staff and students gathered for the Gateway to the Future Campaign Kick-Off Celebration. The event, held in the McHale Athletic Center, launched the public phase of the $55 million fundraising campaign that will transform the University, brick by brick, opportunity by opportunity and student by student. The event was hosted by chief development officer Margaret Steele, who introduced two current students and one young alumna—all first-generation college students—who spoke about the personal transformations each achieved during their Wilkes educations. (Please see the separate story on the opposite page for excerpts from their speeches.) Jason Griggs ’90 spoke on behalf of the Board of Trustees. Noting the campaign’s success during the last four years, Griggs said, “This campaign is an opportunity for each of us to have impact at Wilkes University. Whether you are a golden Colonel, a graduate of our most recent class, or a long-time member of one of our giving societies, Gateway to the Future offers an opportunity to make a difference in a way most meaningful to you personally.” Wilkes President Patrick F. Leahy began his remarks by announcing that the Board of Trustees approved a new campaign goal of $55 million and by announcing that Griggs has made a $500,000 leadership gift to the campaign. Calling the campaign kickoff “a special event on a special weekend,” Leahy noted that when he wrote the University’s strategic plan, also called Gateway to the Future, he was reminded of a quote that he had used in his installation address Left, University Trustee Jason Griggs ’90 addresses attendees at the launch of the Gateway to the Future Campaign on Homecoming weekend.

PHOTOS ON THESE PAGES BY KNOT JUST ANY DAY �at Wilkes. “I quoted the American architect Daniel Hudson Burnham, who said ‘Make no little plans, for they have no power to stir the soul….Make big plans; aim high in hope and work,’ ” Leahy said, explaining that he took his cue from those words to advance an ambitious plan for Wilkes. Leahy outlined four major campaign projects that would be supported by the Gateway to the Future Campaign: • The renovation of the Ralston Athletic Complex • The renovation of the building at 116 S. Main St., which will continue the redevelopment of South Main Street while providing new office space and student housing • General scholarship and research support • Expanding tuition assistance to make Wilkes more affordable and support the University’s tradition of providing access for first-generation students Leahy asked alumni at the kickoff to support the campaign at any level possible. Because alumni support is crucial to Wilkes’ rankings in lists of the top colleges in the United States published by magazines like U.S. News and World Report, Leahy stressed that gifts of any size are helpful. Leahy closed by saying that everything the campaign funds impacts one constituency. “You see, like everything at Wilkes, it’s about the students,” Leahy said, referencing the three student speakers who had opened the program. “I hope you will support the campaign in their names. On behalf of them— and all of our students—thank you.” “To those of you who have made Wilkes a beacon of hope that shines brighter with each effort you make to support each and every capital project: thank you. Because of your Wilkes legacy, we now begin ours.” – Aislinn Speranza, senior communication studies and marketing major, CEO of Zebra Communications and Kirby Scholar “My time at Wilkes University has been absolutely nothing like the vision I had in place as an incoming freshman. I have learned to listen to the advice of others and to believe in myself. And while I believe you should plan and have a plan, the most important thing we can do at Wilkes is to look for opportunities and take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.” – Dillon Davis, senior biology major and member of the Honors Program. Davis completed research while studying abroad in Southampton, England. “To my fellow first-generation college students in the room, please remember to thank those who helped you achieve this goal....To the faculty, staff, and administration of this University, you have built a place of comfort and understanding, one in which I knew I could succeed, grow, and call my home. Lastly, to the donors: with each and every one of your donations, you have been able to not only give me, but numerous first-generation students, the resources we needed to succeed. Without you, I would not be able to call myself a Wilkes alum.” – Nancy Ramirez, Class of 2018 graduate. WILKES | Fall 2018 STUDENTS AND ALUMNA RECALL OPPORTUNITIES AT WILKES 25 �Animal Adv cate ATTORNEY GARRY S. TAROLI ’76 WORKS TIRELESSLY FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS WILKES | Fall 2018 By Andrew Seder 26 �of the Colonels swim team—he co-captained his final two years—he fondly recalls his teammates, the meets and how that team went from also-rans to powerhouse. “We ended up breaking every swimming record but one,” Taroli says. Although his name is no longer in the record book, his memories remain worthy of a gold medal. He still keeps in touch with many of his teammates and they get together often. But while swimming was rewarding for him personally, his success in the water didn’t make a big splash toward helping the plight of animals, which he yearned to do. After he earned his law degree at Dickinson School of Law and started practicing law with the firm Rosenn Jenkins and Greenwald, he began devoting his free time to animal rights issues. He was instrumental, along with Luzerne County SPCA Executive Director Todd Hevner, in getting the county council to adopt an ordinance prohibiting dogs from being outdoors for more than 30 minutes when the mercury rises above 90 degrees or dips below freezing. The ordinance was a feather in his cap and he was even more pleased when the Pennsylvania Legislature passed Libre’s Law, a statewide statute that incorporated the outdoor dog ordinance Luzerne County instituted and added to it, including stiffer penalties. His activism isn’t limited to local causes. The July 2015 killing of 13-year-old Cecil the lion on a reserve in Zimbabwe by an American infuriated him. He made his outrage known through media interviews, a Washington rally and even a letter to the Zimbabwe embassy. A vegetarian since 1995, Taroli, who loves the Grateful Dead, the San Francisco Giants and Star Trek, quotes Ghandi: “The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Hevner praises Taroli for his work with the SPCA and his animal rights advocacy, much of it on a pro bono basis. Taroli received the Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Pro Bono award in 2017 and was recognized with a citation from the state House of Representatives for his advocacy work. “I don’t know a man who is a bigger advocate for animals, period,” Hevner says, adding that the passion, knowledge and guidance Taroli has provided to the SPCA and other organizations is “invaluable.” Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis says even before she became district attorney, she knew Taroli from his reputation as someone “known for his dedication to help animals who have suffered from abuse and neglect. When I met him, I realized he was so much more.” The press release that accompanied the pro bono award called Taroli “a hero.” Taroli scoffs at the word. “There are people like Todd, humane officers like Wayne Harvey, Marge Bart at Blue Chip, who live this every minute of every day. They’re the heroes,” he says.� The Wilkes alumnus, a Wilkes-Barre real estate attorney by trade, has made a local, state and international name for himself in the animal rights realm. His heart, his checkbook and much of his free time are devoted to making sure the voiceless are heard. Taroli’s involvement is reflected in his board membership with the SPCA of Luzerne County; his work with rescue organizations in northeast Pennsylvania such as Blue Chip Farms Animal Refuge, Valley Cat Rescue or Modified K-9; and his role as a special Luzerne County assistant district attorney tasked with prosecuting animal cruelty cases. The Dallas, Pa., resident has shared his home with more than a dozen animals in his life, including Lilah, a German shepherd/collie mix who died in 2017 at the age of 16. “You always hear about dogs that are your soulmate,” Taroli says. “That was her.” But it was Laddie, his very first dog, that made an indelible impression on his psyche and steered him down a lifelong path of acting in the best interests of animals. His parents brought Laddie home to the family home in Kingston, Pa., when Taroli was 4. The two quickly bonded, but within a few years the dog had contracted distemper, which at that time was a death sentence. His parents sent Laddie to live with Taroli’s grandfather, who worked in the coal mines for decades and who was known as someone who could fix anything. Young Garry thought the dog could be fixed, too, but he learned that wasn’t the case. “Years later, when that scene came back to me, it was one of those things that really affected me,” he says. His love of animals was uncaged. Taroli majored in political science at Wilkes. While he still lived with his parents during college, the Wilkes swimming pool was his home away from home. A four-year member Garry S. Taroli ’76 confers with Big Mama, one of the dogs whose cases he has defended for the Luzerne County SPCA. WILKES | Fall 2018 The curtain has come down on the world’s largest circus. Sea World has stopped breeding orcas in captivity and states have cracked down on puppy mills. There are laws stipulating how long dogs can be kept outside in extreme weather. Garry S. Taroli ’76 has applauded the decisions, seeing each as a victory, not just for animals, but for humans, too.

They began their three-year terms in June. The six new directors talk about their favorite thing about their experience attending Wilkes and about what they like about being involved as alumni. Rich Albrecht ’05 WILKES | Fall 2018 Occupation: Assistant Director, Institute on Protective Services at Temple University 28 My favorite thing about my Wilkes experience was the “Wilkes experience.” On the academic side, taking Dr. (Robert) Bohlander’s class, “Critical Thinking in Psychology,” probably had the largest impact on me, personally and professionally. The second thing that stuck out to me was the atmosphere created by the faculty and staff of the psychology department; it is second to none. I enjoyed the opportunities to travel with Dr. Bohlander and Dr. (Deborah) Tindell attending psychology conferences and getting to know them on a personal level. Dr. (Ed) Schicatano’s contagious passion for neuroscience was a blessing and I am thankful for all the hard work in getting the neuroscience program approved as a minor and, subsequently, as a major. As an alumni board member, I am excited for the additional opportunities to interact with current students and alumni. While I’ve been involved with the mentoring program since its infancy, I am looking forward to those interactions in a variety of differing formats. Troy Carey ’16 Occupation: Information Security Analyst, NBT Bank I came to Wilkes as a freshman in 2013. During my time there, I quickly learned what made this University so special. The faculty and staff are one of a kind. They care about the students and truly want to see them succeed. I had so many professors who I relied on, in and out of class, to make my experience that much more successful. They helped me fulfill goals I didn’t know I was capable of achieving. The alumni board gives former students a unique way to give back to future students, staff, and faculty at a university that’s already given us so much. My time at Wilkes played a huge role in making me the person I am today, and I want to provide that same opportunity for current and future students. It’s also fun to connect with other alumni who I might not otherwise communicate with. This is such an engaging community of people to be a part of, and one that allows me to be an even closer part of Wilkes University. Neal McHugh ’86 Occupation: Manager of Environmental Affairs, Buckeye Partners I transferred to Wilkes after attending a community college and expected to feel like an outsider, but that was not the case. I quickly became part of the Wilkes family with the help of Deans George Ralston and Art Hoover, two men who mentored me during my time at Wilkes. I found that my professors would go the extra mile to help me be successful if I put in the work. Through my participation in Air Force ROTC, the First Aid Team, Student Government and as a resident assistant, I learned many valuable life skills and made lifelong friends. I welcome the chance to become a bigger part of the Wilkes family. I have been working with the mentoring program for a few years and joining the alumni board gives me a chance to become more of an advocate for Wilkes and assist in achieving the goals of the Alumni Association and the University. I think we can really expand alumni participation of the 1980s era alumni—my era—so I plan to make that a focus while I am a member of the alumni board. �alumni news Occupation: Registered Nurse I’ve always spoken highly of my time at Wilkes. Academically, I was prepared to head into my career as a nurse, well prepared to take on whatever job I chose and be successful. So many memories of studying in the library or drinking coffee in the commons added to the exceptional learning experience. I can never talk about my college experience without mentioning the friends I made and how we have a special bond and still remain friends. Returning for Homecoming is one of the highlights of every year for me. Social media has helped us stay close throughout the year, but the time we get to sit together and reminisce is so important to me. Living in Georgia, I sometimes feel so far away, but spending time with my Wilkes people brings me back to my roots! I always wanted to get involved with the University in some way and I am honored that I now have the chance through the Alumni Board. I’m hoping to contribute ideas to keep my fellow alumni interested in coming back to where it all started and celebrate the growth of our great University. Michael Scott ’93 Occupation: Proprietor, Nips Park Avenue Saloon As I take the time to reflect on my educational experience at Wilkes, I am profoundly grateful for everything that I have been blessed with, personally as well as professionally. When I chose Wilkes University, I had no way of knowing that I would be so truly fortunate to have forged the lifelong friendships my time at the University has provided me. My time at Wilkes prepared me to take on many different and challenging opportunities throughout my professional career. It is with great pride that I have introduced several student athletes to Wilkes, and I’ve enjoyed watching them evolve into outstanding young men and great representatives of the University. I am proud that I am able to serve the University that has blessed me with so much. Lisa Shafer ’01 Occupation: Senior Director of Alumni and Parent Engagement, Swarthmore College My appreciation for Wilkes has grown over time. My career in higher education advancement has allowed me to reflect, observe, and truly see the real value in Wilkes as an institution, not just for its students, but also for the region. I look forward to the University continuing to find ways for it to expand its reach, since it has so much to bring to the table. I am excited and honored to join the Alumni Association Board of Directors, because I see this as another opportunity for me to reconnect with Wilkes—learning from it yet again and hopefully contributing more to it this time around.

It’s also the name of a new scholarship started by two Wilkes alumni who wanted to give back to the University. It’s an appropriate name for a scholarship that will give a Wilkes student the opportunity to attend the Field Conference of Pennsylvania Geologists. Heather Shocker ’94 and Jason Sheasley ’93 established the GNEISS Scholarship—which stands for Geologic Networking Experience Initiated by Sheasley and Shocker. With the new geology major at Wilkes, the pair thought that it would provide a good professional experience for students. The two have been regular attendees of the conference for several years. It provides opportunities for geologists and geo-scientists to learn about the geology of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Shocker earned her master’s degree in geology from Michigan Technological University in 1997 and she is now the director of program management with DigitalGlobe, International Defense and Intelligence in Denver, Colo. Sheasley is a licensed professional geologist in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida. He is an associate and senior hydrogeologist with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in Jacksonville, Fla. ABOUT THE GNEISS SCHOLARSHIP Applicants for the scholarship prepare a 500-word essay explaining why they would like to attend the conference. The recipient must give a short presentation to the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department about the conference to encourage other students to apply. Shocker and Sheasley would like to challenge fellow alumni to donate to the scholarship. “Our hope is that we will be able to send more than one student to the conference, offering them this unique experience,” they say. Alumni can donate WILKES | Fall 2018 to the scholarship by contacting them at gneiss. 30 scholarship@gmail.com.

From left, Jason Sheasley ’93, Wilkes student Emma Sukowaski and Heather Shocker ’94 celebrate opportunities for geologists. “It is important for us to give back to Wilkes students because we both benefited from the generosity of others who were willing to share their knowledge and experience with us,” Shocker and Sheasley recall. “We believe we can make a difference by offering students tangible, real-world experiences and introduce them to others working in the geosciences field.” The conference provides both networking and educational opportunities. “The unique thing about the conference is that it involves traveling to various locations, like mines, quarries, road cuts, around the state to observe and study geologic features first-hand,” says Sheasley. He adds that students also have an opportunity to meet professionals in the industry and explore career opportunities. “The conference is very popular among Commonwealth geo-scientists and, for logistical reasons, the number of participants each year is limited to 275. In most cases, the conference is booked within a weeks’ time,” explains Sheasley. He and Shocker have arranged with the conference coordinators to secure a spot for a GNEISS Scholarship recipient each year. The first scholarship recipient was Emma Sukowaski, who is also the first declared geology major at Wilkes. The second recipient is Ryan Wysocki, a junior geology major. Sukowaski says attending the event helped her to refine career and graduate school choices. “At the conference, I learned that I had many options,” Sukowaski says. She is now considering attending graduate school or obtaining her professional geologist license and becoming a consultant. �class notes Andrew Bartlow ’10 Receives Postdoctoral Fellowship at Los Alamos National Laboratory L~Alamos Andrew Bartlow ’10 discovered a new world when he began conducting research as an undergraduate at Wilkes University.

Her work has been gaining attention and has been featured on the online news site Buzzfeed. It recently earned her an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Company. Gallagher describes her work as “ongoing social media research.” She started her data visualizations to help others understand social media manipulation. “After the 2016 election there was a lot of fear about propaganda bots swaying public opinion and trolls nudging us to vote one way or another, or to not vote at all,” she explains. “So my original intention was to show people what Twitter bots look like, and I’ve done that a few times. But I’ve found that there is also value in showing people what our real human interactions on social media look like.” Describing her process, Gallagher says she downloads tweets for a hashtag or a keyword. She then creates a network graph of that Twitter activity using Gephi, an open source network visualization software that reveals patterns and trends in the data being researched. The result is a visual representation of a digital conversation shown by burst of color on a black background, resembling fireworks at night. Pictured below is a graphic reflecting the online activity around the hashtag #metoo, which exploded on social media amid news related to sexual assault allegations.
