2020 Membership Directory Association of Independent Colleges & Universities of Pennsylvania 101 North Front Street Harrisburg, PA 17101-1405 (717) 232-8649 2020 MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY 1 Dear AICUP Members: AICUP Staff is pleased to present the 2020 Membership Directory. Special thanks goes to the Executive and Administrative Assistants in the Presidents’ offices at our member institutions for providing up-to-date information and for reviewing our data entry. While every attempt has been made to create an accurate, current list of institutional contacts, we realize there will be changes after going to print which is why there will be a quarterly update available online throughout the year. Please contact AICUP at any time to provide changes and corrections. This data is maintained in our Contact Management System and is used frequently throughout the year for mailings, invitations and other communications. AICUP Staff hopes our member institutions will use the AICUP Membership Directory as a tool to make valuable contacts with personnel in similar positions across the state. Also, staff can access the contact information listed in the middle section of the directory of our Corporate Affiliates when specific services or products are needed. AICUP Corporate Affiliates support the Association monetarily and agree to serve AICUP members with integrity and professionalism. Many of these affiliates are AICUP-Endorsed Program Providers or AICUP Member Preferred Providers. We also encourage you to identify your State Legislators in the third section of the directory. 22 Using the Directory AUP has identified institutional positions that are common across all colege and universit campuses While the titles var the roes are similar o maximize the usefulness of the director for mailings and invitations to individuals in similar roes the positions are consistent as numbered for each schoo. Please note: a) When an individual fills multiple roles on campus his or her contact information is repeated, b) If a position does not exist at an institution or has not been filled, “vacant” appears and c) the President is not numbered and found in the left hand corner.

  • 2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House
    2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House and Senate Goals in November General Election: Although there are 17 Democratic-held seats in districts that Trump won, the release specifically pinpointed House Districts 33, 55, 72, and 123 as “just a few targets for Republicans” in the upcoming election. House Minority Leader Frank Dermody (D-Allegheny) represents the least Trump friendly district of those four targets, with the president carrying the 33rd state House District by 5 points over Sec. Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to DailyKos. Dermody’s closest reelection bid since the last two presidential elections was in 2014 when he fended off Republican Sean Watson by 6 points, according to Ballotpedia. Dermody is slated to face Carrie DelRosso, an Oakmont Borough Councilmember and businesswoman, for the seat in the fall. State Rep. Frank Burns (D-Cambria) represents the most Trump friendly district of the four targets with Trump winning the 72nd state House District by 43 points over Clinton in 2016. Burns’ closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2018 when he edged out Republican Gerald Carnicella by 5 points, according to Ballotpedia. Burns will face Republican Howard Terndrup for his reelection bid in November. State Rep. Joe Petrarca’s (D-Westmoreland) 55th state House District is also very favorable to Trump with the president carrying his district by 33 points in 2016, according to DailyKos. Petrarca ran unopposed in 2018 and his closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2012 when he defeated Republican John Hauser, although his 2016 victory over Republican Michael Geiselhart was a 13 point win, according to Ballotpedia.

  • University Integrations Public Comments Batch 2 (5/27/21
    DATE PLAN GROUP OTHER COMMENT / SOURCE INFORMATION NAME (GROUP) 5/27/2021 5:56 Northeast Staff, I am very much supportive of the integration. I think it will provide needed changes in structure given the new climate of higher Ed, along with Plan Alumni/ increased opportunities for students throughout the triad. Donor However, I was so disappointed to hear that Recreation Management was not listed in the program array. I believe this is a mistake and does not support the working needs of PA (as almost all of our graduates stay in PA). These individuals staff YMCAs, youth programs, state parks, event centers, venues, and so much more. This program provides skills and necessary curriculum to make students successful in these fields. This program is filled with students who are truly passionate about their coursework and the prospect of bettering the future. This is the only program of its kind to be offered within the triad and Lock Haven University is the ideal location. With hard decisions to be made, I don’t doubt that we can take a harder look at programs and efficiencies, but I ask you to reconsider eliminating the Recreation Management program. I am confident by eliminating this program you will be doing this triad and the state a disservice. 5/27/2021 7:40 West Plan Alumni/ Auxiliary Please define Brand Identity" will remain in tact needs defined with examples and how the alumni can identify with that definition. Change is Donor, employee tough and specifics to how it relates to alumni (plaid, boro, logos, EUP, traditions) would be helpful.

  • Resolution 1032 Action
    Resolution to Create ‘election integrity” Committee Threatens Integrity of our State Election On Thursday, October 1st, a resolution to create an ‘election integrity’ committee was passed out of committee to be voted on soon by the full PA House of Representatives. It would not need the Senate’s approval or Governor Wolf’s signature. The plan would create a committee of 3 Republican lawmakers and 2 Democrats, to investigate and review the election. Such a committee is unprecedented, and its powers are broad and vague. Representative Malcolm Kenyatta (D) vehemently opposed the resolution, which was featured on Rachel Maddow’s show on October 1st. You can listen to the full exchange here. Rep. Kenyatta says, “They [the committee] would all be selected by the Republican Speaker which is completely out of the norm…This is the concern: We cannot have people who are up for election, investigate their own election.” An attempt was made to rush the Resolution through for a vote by the full PA House of Representatives but was delayed by a member of the House testing positive case for Covid. The vote has now been rescheduled for Monday, October 19th. This is our time to act! ACTION: With all the concerns about the coming election and claims of fraud, we need to be sure that our PA voters are the ones to determine the “electors” who will cast the PA Electoral College votes. WE MUST ACT NOW! URGE THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES TO VOTE NO ON HR 1032. PLEASE CALL ALL OFFICES AS WELL AS YOUR OWN REPRESENTATIVE!

    April 21, 2020 Secretary Teresa Miller Pennsylvania Department of Human Services 625 Forster Street Harrisburg, PA 17120 Dear Secretary Miller, Re: Safe Food Purchasing Options for SNAP Recipients As legislators, we understand the economic precariousness of our constituents since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreaks and that it has increased the need for people to access the SNAP benefits program to ensure food security. We understand the need for SNAP recipients to have safe access to groceries which would include access to online grocery shopping and delivery services. More than one-third of SNAP households include a family member who is an older adult or someone with a disability and many of these families rely on ride-sharing or public transportation options to go grocery shopping. Leaving their homes to make in-person payments or even using neighborhood volunteer-based buddy systems further increases the risk of contracting COVID-19 for an already at-risk population. We support DHS in submitting a waiver that allows SNAP benefit users to complete online grocery orders (and allow for home delivery service) so that they may adhere to the COVID-19 response guidelines outlined by the state government. This waiver will be a good start to supporting our most vulnerable population. Additionally, we encourage you to look ahead to broadening the options and abilities for using and accepting SNAP benefits. From across the Commonwealth, we hear concerns about the safety and security of local food growers and producers who keep our food supply safe and steady and the financial security of these industries that are considered essential.
