Morton Basketball great Michael Jordan once said “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” Whether creating internal partnerships between colleagues and departments, partnerships between academia and industry, or traditional town-and-gown collaborations, harnessing the skills of others is one of the most strategic ways to solve complex challenges. Things change when everyone on the team is equally invested in the overall purpose and goal. Consider Mercyhurst’s involvement in the ERIE INNOVATION DISTRICT. By partnering with regional academic institutions, government and business, the university is leading a plan to transform downtown Erie into a destination for digital-economy jobs, particularly in the robust felds of cyber security and data science. “Together, we are discovering new ways of driving innovation to provide our students with internships and job opportunities, to provide businesses with a highly skilled workforce, and to strengthen our community in terms of economic growth and global competitiveness,” said Mercyhurst University President Michael Victor. But, that’s just the latest in the university’s longstanding commitment to collaboration and the power of many. The following is an abbreviated look at a few of Mercyhurst’s many partnerships and the results they are reaping. 2 Sam Krahe ‘14 works with young clients at Harborcreek Youth Services.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.
