It is these roots that nurtured a university strong enough to develop a global reach and comprehensive aca- demics. Our success owes much to the vibrant “living laboratory” around us, and we are proud to pay that debt through ever-increasing service to our neighbors. Our expanding mission has created exciting new opportunities to engage our community. Drexel’s medical, nursing and public health programs provide vital care to local residents, especially the under- served. Our new Earle Mack School of Law has made pro bono legal work a centerpiece of its activities. Across Drexel, our students, faculty and staff are finding innovative ways to make a difference. Community outreach efforts are being developed at the grassroots level in every part of the University. Two thriving centers help to manage these initiatives and maximize their impact. Our Office of Government and Community Relations, led by Vice President Brian Keech, oversees fruitful relationships with community leaders and elected officials while coordinating a huge volume of service activities. And our Center for Civic Engagement, run out of the office of Provost Mark Greenberg, finds in- novative ways to link our students to the community and broaden their educational experience. We have expanded access to Drexel’s academic enterprise, both by offering educational programs and support to the com- munity at large and by recruiting outstanding local students. I am particularly proud of our new Liberty Scholars program, which provides 50 new full Drexel scholarships each year, 250 total at any given moment, to Philadelphians with significant financial need. This report provides an excellent overview of Drexel’s service to our community. It will inform not only friends and sup- porters outside the University but also my colleagues on campus, where service is so ingrained in our culture that the extent of our commitment is sometimes overlooked.

Drexel is helping to address that prob- lem in Philadelphia with the new Drexel Liberty Scholars program. Each year the University offers full- tuition, full-fees scholarships to 50 standout graduates of Philadelphia public and diocesan high schools who demonstrate significant financial need. Ultimately numbering 250 at any one time, Liberty Scholars take advantage of a special mentoring program to help ensure their college success. Mayor Michael Nutter, who has chal- lenged the region’s colleges and uni- versities to fund 1,000 new scholarships for Philadelphians by 2011, praised Drexel’s commitment and promised to “make sure that other universities take notice, and once again follow Drexel’s lead.” When Liberty Scholars step onto campus, they begin a journey that hopefully ends in a bright future for them and for the city of Philadelphia.

  • School Cluster List
    APPENDIX G: SCHOOL CLUSTERS Providers may use the updated grid, along with public and charter school enrollment numbers and prior average utilization of behavioral health services, to estimate number and types of staff needed to adequately meet the needs of children in their clusters of interest. School enrollment information can be found at the School District of Philadelphia website here. Based on prior year utilization of behavioral health services, providers may calculate 2-7% of the total enrollment as an estimate of the number of children participating in behavioral health treatment. Providers may apply the 2% to “Model” schools, 4% to “Reinforce” schools, and 7% to “Watch” and “Intervene” schools. Please note that prior utilization is not a guarantee of future utilization.

In Philadelphia I must thank the staff of the American Philosophical Society library for patiently walking out box after box of Society archives and miscellaneous manuscripts. In particular I must thank Beth Carroll- Horrocks and Rita Dockery in the manuscript room. Roy Goodman in the Library’s reference room provided invaluable assistance in tracking down secondary material and biographical information. Roy is also a matchless authority on college football nicknames. From the Society’s historian, Whitfield Bell, Jr., I received encouragement, suggestions, and great leads. At the Library Company of Philadelphia, Jim Green and Phil Lapansky deserve special thanks for the suggestions and support. Most of the research for this study took place in southern archives where the region’s traditions of hospitality still live on. The staff of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History provided cheerful assistance in my first stages of manuscript research. The staffs of the Filson Club Historical Library in Louisville and the Special Collections room at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond were also accommodating. Special thanks go out to the men and women at the three repositories at which the bulk of my research was conducted: the Special Collections Library at Duke University, the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the Virginia Historical Society.

  • 2009 Year End Report 2009 Bicycle Ambassadors with Mayor Michael Nutter
    2009 YEAR END REPORT 2009 Bicycle Ambassadors with Mayor Michael Nutter The Bicycle Ambassadors are a program of For additional information please contact: Breen Goodwin Education Director 215.242.9253 ext.5 [email protected] Bicycle Ambassadors 2009 Report » 2 WHO ARE BICYCLE AMBASSADORS? The Bicycle Ambassadors are a team of adult safety educators working to make bicycling better in the City of Philadelphia. The Bicycle Ambassadors are an education and outreach program of the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia. Ambassadors work in teams and travel to each event by bicycle (many times with cargo trailers full of information in tow). The full time Bicycle Ambassadors work from May through September. During the 2009 inaugural season, the Bicycle Ambassadors program employed 6 full time seasonal employees. WHAT DO BICYCLE AMBASSADORS DO? Bicycle Ambassadors encourage adult bicyclists to ride more often and ride more safely as well as educate motorists on the rules of the road and provide tips for sharing the road. Ambassadors attend community eventsand create our own events to teach bike safety, sharing the road, bike lane and bike path etiquette and how to bike to work and school. Our message is conveyed through face-to-face interaction, allowing for an organic conversation targeting the specific interests, questions and needs of each individual. Ambassadors work in the neighborhoods of Center City, University City and Fairmount Park. DESCRIPTION OF Outreach—PRIMARY The 2009 Bicycle Ambassadors program relied on three primary types of outreach: event outreach, classroom outreach, and on-street outreach. For event outreach, Ambassadors attended community events such as a farmers’ market, trans- portation fairs and block parties.

Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.

Neely, Jr. McCabe-Greer Professor in the American Civil War Era Matthew J. Restall Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Colonial Latin American History, Anthropology, and Women‘s Studies Carla J. Mulford Associate Professor of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT During the four years of the American Civil War, the twenty-three states that comprised the Union initiated one of the most unprecedented social transformations in U.S. History, mobilizing the Union Army. Strangely, scholars have yet to explore Civil War mobilization in a comprehensive way. Mobilization was a multi-tiered process whereby local communities organized, officered, armed, equipped, and fed soldiers before sending them to the front. It was a four-year progression that required the simultaneous participation of legislative action, military administration, benevolent voluntarism, and industrial productivity to function properly. Perhaps more than any other area of the North, cities most dramatically felt the affects of this transition to war. Generally, scholars have given areas of the urban North low marks. Statistics refute pessimistic conclusions; northern cities appeared to provide a higher percentage than the North as a whole.
