My first–ever PACAC Conference was here at Seven Springs, and I know that this venue holds special meaning for many of you too. Under the leadership of Sarah Smith, this year’s Conference Planning Committee has worked hard to prepare for the next few days. During your time here, please take advantage of all that Conference has to offer: thought–provoking education sessions, an exhibit hall full of colleagues who wish to help you with any enrollment challenges you are facing, many networking opportunities, socials, and of course the legendary alpine slide. A packed schedule for sure, but always time well spent. For those of you who may be new to the PACAC Conference, please do not be shy to jump in and get involved. Volunteer Ian Harkness organizations like PACAC are only as strong as each member. Please plan to attend the Standing Committee Fair to discover how you can become a more active part of our association. Also, please take time to visit the exhibit hall during the conference. The companies and organizations that join us make our conference possible, and affordable. Many of the exhibitors come annually to support PACAC and I ask you all to take some time to support them as well. Even if you are not the final decision maker in your office, feel free to take information back to those folks who do make those decisions. From the opening speaker to the closing luncheon on Tuesday when our newly elected officers will be installed, there are many opportunities for us all to connect. It is my hope that you find it to be a positive experience and that you learn something novel, make a new friend and get a chance to catch up with old friends and colleagues. I would be remiss if I did not take a moment to thank the Conference Planning Committee for their hard work. The amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to make conference possible defies description. Many thanks again to Sarah, the entire CPC committee, and everyone else for coming out for another exciting conference. See you on the dance floor! Ian Harkness Ian Harkness PACAC President 2 www.pacac.org Welcome, PACAC CPC Chair Letter PACAC Friends, I am excited to welcome you to the 52nd Annual PACAC Conference! Seven Springs is a familiar location for many attendees that holds special memories, and for some it is a new location, where I hope you will create fond memories. Helping to kick off this year’s conference is PACAC’s own Darryl Jones. Darryl, Senior Associate Director of Admission at Gettysburg College, and long-standing member of PACAC, will be speaking to attendees on Sunday afternoon; undoubtedly challenging and encouraging those in attendance. Monday morning kicks off with professional sessions, which are followed by our Keynote Speaker. This year the keynote is national bestselling author Wes Moore. Wes’ first book, The Other Wes Moore was a best seller and Sarah Smith we are excited to welcome him to Seven Springs not long after the release of his latest book The Work. Monday evening’s Gustafson Award Dinner will allow attendees to celebrate PACAC and our colleagues, and Tuesday morning rounds out the professional sessions. Exhibit Hall is also a location that you should not overlook during the conference. Do not forget to stop by and visit the many companies present to discuss their products and offerings. Without the support of our exhibitors, the annual conference would not be possible; please be sure to thank them for their generosity. I would like to thank the members of the Conference Planning Committee for the time and energy they have put in to make this year’s conference a success. Without their commitment, this conference would not be able to run as smoothly as it does. Thank you CPC! Enjoy the conference, and again welcome to Seven Springs!

    College Benefactor Richard Ziegler: More Than Meets the Eye

    Vol. Vol.18 • 17No. • 2No. 2 SpringWinter 20062005 CurrentsPenn State Harrisburg Alumni Magazine College Benefactor Richard Ziegler: More than Meets the Eye Currents • penn state harrisburg alumni magazine Welcome to Currents GreetingsWelcome to the Spring 2006from issue of Currents,the yourChancellor… Penn State Harrisburg alumni magazine. The end of the academic year is a time at which we pause to acknowledge the achievements of students, faculty, staff, and alumni. It also marks a period of transition, as new graduates stand ready to meet the challenges of professional life, while retiring faculty and staff prepare for life after the rigors of the daily workplace. At commencement ceremonies in May 2006, Penn State Harrisburg conferred some 600 degrees, and another nearly 600 degrees a few months earlier at ceremonies in December 2005. These numbers are particularly significant as we celebrate the college’s 40th anniversary this year. Penn State Harrisburg’s first graduating class, those students who began when the campus opened in 1966 and graduated in 1968, included 12 students. Clearly, the idea for a campus in the capital city four decades ago has proven to be a good one. The proof? The nearly 32,000 graduates Penn State Harrisburg, the Capital College, has added to the University alumni roster. Our April 18 Donor Recognition Dinner recognized those whose philanthropy helps students either directly through scholarships, or indirectly through the donation of resources to enhance campus programs and facilities. This spring we also honored faculty and staff members with awards for outstanding achievement and leadership in the areas of diversity, service, teaching, research, and scholarship.

Once these changes are completed, Great Valley will be neither an academic home to any Education programs nor a tenure home for any Education faculty. It is proposed, therefore, to discontinue the Education Division at Penn State Great Valley.

The forthcoming follow-up to Wes Moore’s bestselling book The Other Wes Moore, The Work: My Search for a Life that Matters continues Wes’ remarkable quest to find a meaningful life, how to come alive as an adult, how to find the work he was meant to do. As he traced his life’s path – from the streets of Baltimore and the Bronx; a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford after 9/11; a combat officer in Afghanistan during the most intense years of fighting; a White House Fellow during the tumult of the late Bush years; an Obama organizer during that historic campaign; a Wall Street banker at the cusp of the financial crisis; and finally back home to Baltimore, working to revitalize the troubled city of his own youth – Wes Moore has had ample opportunity to survey the landscape of American opportunity, responsibility, duty and success.

    Penn State Commission for Adult Learners

    Commission for Adult Learners May 2019 Fact Sheet Adult Learner–may be 24 years of age or older; a veteran of the armed services or active-duty; returning to school after four or more years of employment, homemaking, or other activity; a person who assumes multiple adult roles, such as parent, spouse/partner, and employee. This issue of the Adult Learner Fact sheet highlights some of our typical adult learners who completed their degree or successfully completed the semester. We are proud of their achievements. America Rojas | Human Development and Family Studies, Penn State Altoona “I believe that as an adult student I have much to offer. I find myself improving as I strive for excellence in what I do and being motivated by the fact that this will be my opportunity to achieve my new beginning and my personal transition. I feel engaged, inspired, and prepared. I am Penn State.” Laura Ruane | Human Development and Family Studies, Penn State DuBois “I had so many fears that came with going back to school and giving it one more try. There have definitely been some rough patches along my journey, but my grades have been a success so far. I never thought I could get A’s in college. I am street smart, and now I am proving I can be book smar t too.” Michelle Stroud | Doctor of Nursing Practice, Penn State Altoona and Penn State World Campus “I started as an adult learner by attaining my associate degree in nursing in 1995 when I was 22, then earning a bachelor of science in nursing in 2002 when I was 30.
