2007-2008, Covering the Period July 1, 2007 Through June 30, 2008 Message from the President Dear Friends, There was much to celebrate during this past year at Marywood University. From a personal perspective, it was a transformative experience to serve my inaugural year as Marywood’s 11th president. However, I do not and could not do this alone. While this special year has provided an exciting backdrop, the meaningful role that each of you plays in shaping the future of this University is the underpinning of what continues to inspire and create our outstanding progress. In keeping with the spirit of progress, we decided this year to produce a “green” President’s Report— a solely online piece—to reduce our use of paper products and take another positive step in our ongoing efforts to cultivate and practice environmental stewardship. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, “institutions of higher education are poised to play a leading role in developing and executing climate-neutral policies.” (“A Green Curriculum Involves Everyone on the Campus,” by John Peterson, June 20, 2008 issue) Marywood University continues to evaluate its current practices and engage in future initiatives with environmental considerations in mind—for the benefit of our students, our campus, our community, and our world. This report represents the fiscal year 2007-2008, covering the period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008. Please accept my deepest appreciation for all you have done to advance the goals, initiatives, and mission of Marywood University. I am enthusiastic about the progress we have made, as well as the momentum we continue to generate, and I look to our future with great optimism and abundant hope. May our shared enthusiasm for goals accomplished, along with anticipation of opportunities that lie ahead, continue to strengthen Marywood University’s position as a premier provider of Catholic higher education in the 21st Century.

  • 2020Annual Report
    2020 Annual Report DEAR FRIENDS With the Coronavirus national emergency declaration, Northern Illinois Hospice’s priorities shifted. Leadership pivoted and narrowed its scope to worldwide pandemic infection control and keeping patients and staff safe. By April 2020, the first individual with both a terminal diagnosis and COVID-19 was admitted. Now, more than 400 days have passed and COVID-19 has become an unwanted, extended guest of the American experience. Northern Illinois Hospice continues to be diligent with its emergency management efforts. Our team has done an amazing job, demonstrating the commitment, expertise, and quality and safety practices for which we are known. Beyond COVID-19, additionally last year: • A Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan was secured, which helped with payroll for several weeks during the peak of the pandemic, and Health and Human Services (HHS) stimulus funds were received to offset COVID-related expenses. • A Capital Improvement Fund was established to From left: Northern Illinois Hospice Chief Executive plan for future needs of our building. The Fund’s first Officer Lisa Novak and Board of Directors President Jon Aldrich priority was to replace the old, worn out roof. • The Board of Directors unanimously voted to expand into DeKalb County, increasing Northern Illinois Hospice’s service area from five counties to six. This mission expansion currently is underway. • Community outreach continued, and we partnered with organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association to present webinars tailored to individuals caring for seriously ill loved ones at home. We also teamed up with local nursing and assisted living facilities to offer events like Puppy Parades to bring joy to socially-isolated residents.

Lambert © 2008 Amber D. Lambert Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2008 ii The thesis of Amber D. Lambert was reviewed and approved* by the following: Patrick T. Terenzini Distinguished Professor of Higher Education Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Lisa R. Lattuca Associate Professor of Higher Education Duane F. Alwin McCourtney Professor of Sociology Gül Kremer Affiliate Faculty of Industrial Engineering Assistant Professor of Engineering Design Dorothy Evensen Professor of Education In Charge of the Graduate Program in Higher Education *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract Creating gender equity in engineering education is important for more reasons than simply being a matter of social justice or diversifying the engineering field. It is also a significant educational and public policy issue that will affect the future economic competitiveness of the United States in the global marketplace. Engineering is arguably the leading national example of a profession in which women are under-represented. Undergraduate engineering programs not only need to attract and retain female students, but they must also provide full access to the educational experiences women must have to develop the engineering skills to succeed in the engineering profession. This study explored whether the shift to the “soft” or less technical skills in engineering encouraged by new accreditation standards could potentially have had differential effects for women in engineering from their male counterparts.

  • Kane's Reign Ends Today
    Steve Esack and Peter Hall Of The Morning Call 8/17/16 Kane's reign ends today HARRISBURG — Kathleen Kane charged into state government 1,381 days ago as a reformer unbound by the political establishment she railed against in her successful campaign to become the state's first woman elected attorney general. On Wednesday, she slinks away, leaving behind her once bright political future and a resignation letter after abusing the power voters entrusted in her as the state's top law enforcement officer. "I have been honored to serve the people of Pennsylvania and I wish them health and safety in all their days," Kane said Tuesday in a two-sentence resignation. The announcement came a day after a jury of six men and six women convicted her on two felony counts of perjury and seven lesser charges of lying and abusing her power about a grand jury secrets leak she orchestrated to embarrass a rival. It also came after Montgomery County Judge Wendy Demchick-Alloy set an Oct. 24 sentencing date for the Scranton-area Democrat. The state constitution says public officials must resign after being convicted of a crime, but state court rulings have pushed resignations back until sentencing. Kane negated that with her decision to quit after months of refusing to heed such advice from politicians. Kane lawyers vow appeal, but offer few details In a statement, Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, said Kane is making the right call. "What has transpired with Attorney General Kane is unfortunate," Wolf said. "Her decision to resign is the right one, and will allow the people of Pennsylvania to finally move on." The Commonwealth Attorneys Act states that the first deputy slides into the attorney general's post if the elected or appointed official resigns or becomes incapacitated.

    H □ PESCHIANNA Foreword Once again as the door closes on another school year at Hopedale High, we look bock to a year full of both sod and happy memories. For the Freshmen it opened the door to a bright new world. For the Sophomores and Juniors the year was full of work and gay times. For the Seniors it is the final "good bye". But for all it is the end of another year. So these memories will not be lost or forgotten, the Hopeschianno has attempted to capture and record these memories.

  • The Indictment of Longtime Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed: What Comes Next?
    The Indictment of Longtime Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed: What Comes Next? Who is the accused? Stephen Reed, the Democratic mayor of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania from 1982 to 2010, has been charged by state prosecutors with 499 counts ranging from bribery to theft by receiving stolen property. What do state prosecutors allege? The allegations include claims that Reed used his position to arrange the sale of bonds by several agencies within the city. To secure approval of the bond sales, he allegedly diverted city funds to a slush fund for city council members. Bond proceeds went to various pet projects including the purchase of various antiquities, such as Civil War memorabilia and artifacts from the American West that he planned to display in new city museums. Reed stored those artifacts in his own home, among other private facilities, and misled investigators about the existence and extent of these collections. Why does this case matter? Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane called Reed’s alleged wrongdoing “the root of the fiscal issues that continue to plague the city of Harrisburg.” Under Reed’s watch, the city of merely 50,000 inhabitants—of whom nearly a third live in poverty—accrued over $450 million dollars in debt. More than half of this debt went to a white-elephant project to retrofit a trash incinerator. In 2011, the state government placed the city in receivership. In 2013, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged Harrisburg with securities fraud for misrepresenting its poor financial health under Reed—the first time a U.S. city has faced such charges.
