President's welcome Welcome! The annual PennACE Conference is one of my favorite times of the year. It always happens during that sweet spot when the spring semester has ended and we can finally breath but before the craziness of fall planning hits us. I always leave the conference feeling energized, refreshed, and excited about the important work we all do. This year's conference theme could not have come at a better time after a crazy year of pivoting. I look forward to surviving, thriving, and diversifying with each of you at the conference. Best Wishes, Lesli Somerset Talley PennACE President 2020-2021 2021 CONFERENCE COMMITTEE Kelsey Thompson, Indiana University of Pennsylvania Heather Balas, Mercyhurst University Courtney Baum, Saint Vincent College Krissie Doppelheuer, California University of Pennsylvania Lauren Fagan, University of Pittsburgh Nathan Nitczynski, Mercyhurst University Tammy Manko, Indiana University of Pennsylvania Lesli Somerset Talley, Chatham University Lauren Watson, Saint Francis University PennACE 2020-2021 Executive Board President Lesli Somerset Talley, Chatham University Vice President/President Elect Kelsey Thompson, Indiana University of PA Treasurer Heather Balas, Mercyhurst University Secretary Tammy Manko, Indiana University of PA Membership Chair Chad Ganley, Kutztown University Communication Chair Krissie Doppelheuer, California University of PA Marketing & Public Relations Chair Lauren Watson, Saint Francis University Member-at-Large/Grants Brian Collingwood, Gannon University Member-at-Large/Student of the Year Diana Brush, Clarion University Member-at-Large/Government Relations Jesse DeFazio, Slippery Rock University Member-at-Large/Professional Development and Employer Engagement (Western/Central) Nathan Nitczynski, Mercyhurst University Member-at-Large/Professional Development and Employer Engagement (Eastern/Central) Phyllis Schoen, West Chester University Past President Jenelle Henry, Kutztown University KEYNOTE SPEAKER GINA WATTS Mrs. Gina Watts is an advocate, author, speaker, educator, and leader with a heart for service. Since 2001, Mrs. Watts has served as a leader for more than 20 boards and developed three nonprofit organizations. Since 2010, she has toured local middle and high schools and youth groups, meeting with youth to help them identify their personal and professional goals. Her experience as a college instructor, global career development facilitator, organizational leader, strategist, and member of the John Maxwell Team have more than prepared her to assist individuals enhance their leadership skills and/or those of their teams and organizations. For 10 years, Mrs. Watts served as a full-time faculty member in Human Development and Family Studies with an administrative appointment to create and oversee the Student Success Center and career development programming at Penn State Fayette, the Eberly Campus. While employed as a college instructor, she began her formal coaching, training, and speaking career, joining the John Maxwell Team in December 2012. Just a short 3 years later, Mrs. Watts was commissioned by the John Maxwell Team to lead the development of their new youth leadership curriculum. In partnership with Christian evangelist, best-selling author, and YouthMAX Plus Ambassador, Nick Vujicic, Gina developed YouthMAX Plus, an international youth leadership curriculum exclusively presented by John Maxwell Team members. Through this curriculum, John Maxwell Team members connect with youth through the world in meaningful ways to help them identify, pursue, and fulfill their purpose in their lives. In 2017, Mrs. Watts more formally joined the John Maxwell Team as the first Youth Development Director and Faculty. During that same year, Mrs. Watts led the launch of the John Maxwell Team Global Youth Initiative. Through their service, the John Maxwell Team hosted nearly 800,000 youth at free leadership development events in more than 60 countries around the world. In addition to her oversight of GYI, she also led the development of the John Maxwell Team Youth Certification and the Parent and Family Engagement Certification, both of which launched in 2019. In addition to her service to the John Maxwell Team, Mrs. Watts also serves as the Executive Director for Vineyard Community Center and Co-Director of the Missions Ministry at Vineyard Columbus. In this role, Gina co-leads 14 smaller ministries that serve as the outreach arm of the church. Ministries including the Vineyard Early Childhood Center, K-12 Afterschool Program, Free Health Clinics, Sports and Fitness programs, Men’s and Women’s Prison Ministry, Homeless Ministry, Food Pantries, Immigration Counseling Services, and more fall under Gina’s daily leadership. Gina partners with more than 60 staff and dozens of organizations to share the love of Christ and serve the greater Columbus, Ohio area. In 2015, Gina in partnership with her mother Janet Jones and her extended family launched the Lillian’s Legacy Scholarship Fund at the Community Foundation of Fayette County. The fund was developed in honor of her grandmother Lillian Capozza and provides scholarships to support Fayette County students pursuing post-secondary education. Since its inception, the fund has awarded 5 scholarships. Gina is a proven leader with a passion to help others stretch beyond their current situation to reach their goals and live out their dreams. As a servant-leader in the home, Gina is a wife to Eric and mother to Christian and Eric Jr.. Those two roles bring her the most joy. 2021 CONFERENCE SCHEDULE Tuesday 25 May, 2021 6:00pm Pre-Conference Activity: Magic Show, with Ran'D Shine Wednesday 26 May, 2021 9:00am - 10:30am Welcome and Keynote Speaker: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid? Pivotal Leadership Strategies to Fight the Status Quo and Strengthen Your Core, Ms. Gina Watts There is a Korean proverb that says, “Power lasts 10 years, influence not more than a hundred.” Realizing that leadership is more than a position or title, Gina has committed her life to serve and equip others to reach their full potential as leaders, using their influence for good, for change, for others. Mentored by leadership expert, John C. Maxwell, Mrs. Watts believes her mentor’s philosophy, “Leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less.” Through her work in his company, the John Maxwell Team as the Global Director and Developer of the Youth Certification, her 10-year tenure as a faculty member and administrator (developing the Student Success Center) at Penn State Fayette, the Eberly Campus, and her current work as an Executive Director of Vineyard Community Center in Columbus, Ohio, Mrs. Watts knows that organizations and teams need leaders who are nimble, humble, and hungry. She also knows that within each of us, are all the tools we need to lead and serve well – we just need to “wake them up.” In this inspiring keynote session, Mrs. Gina Watts will lead attenders through interactive presentation, where participants will challenge themselves to see farther and dive deeper as leaders and influencers. She will help participants, “wake up” their leadership strengths and use them to serve themselves, their teams, and the students in their care. Gina will define pivotal leadership, equip participants with strategies for effective leadership and facilitate two exercises to keep participants engaged. A DISC assessment exercise as well as an exercise called “Status and Quo” will be facilitated. 10:30-10:45: BREAK 10:45-11:45: Knowledge Session I Session 1: From Student Ambassador to Supervisor: How to Run a Successful Student Employee Program, Jennifer Abraham (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) Career centers have a lot going on. Between managing events, student appointments, workshops, and social media there is a lot to do and oftentimes, these offices rely on the help of student employees. Students in these roles not only assist in day-to-day operations but also as advocates to their peers about the importance of the career center on campus. Presented by a former student employee turned supervisor, this presentation will focus on how to create an innovative student employee program. Session 2: Intersectionality and Career Development, Lesli Somerset Talley (Chatham University) The term intersectionality serves as a framework for understanding how the intersection of multiple social identities (i.e. gender, race, SES, sexuality, etc.) can influence how we experience the world. Being aware of the intersection of social identities, including our own, inform the way we interactive with students, colleagues, and other stakeholders. Attend this interactive session to gain insight how your own social identities have impacted your individual experiences and how to make your career counseling style and office more inclusive. Session 3: Design Your Life, Not Just Your Career: Using Life Design Strategies in Career Consultation, Kate Sheridan (Chatham University) This session will introduce participants to the Life Design framework of career and personal development and provide opportunities to engage with content and activities that can be used in career consultations, programming, and more. Life Design employs a design thinking approach to help students from any major develop a constructive and effective approach to designing their lives and vocations. This framework considers topics like: the integration of work and worldviews; increasing balance and energy; the and practices that support lifelong career development. 11:45-1:00: Lunch Break

One of the symbols for Sankofa (above right) depicts a mythical bird moving forward, but with its head turned backward. The egg in its mouth represents the "gems" or knowledge of the past upon which wisdom is based; it also signifies the generation to come that would benefit from that wisdom. It is hoped that this document will inspire Penn State students, faculty, staff, and alumni to learn from and build on the efforts of those who came before them.

    Periodic Review Report

    Periodic Review Report Presented by Juniata College July 1, 2008 President: Thomas R. Kepple, Jr. Chief Academic Officer: James J. Lakso, PhD Commission action which preceded this report: Accreditation Reaffirmed Date of the decennial evaluation team’s visit: March 16-19, 2003 Executive Summary Juniata College is an independent, coeducational liberal arts college. The college was founded in 1876 by members of the Church of the Brethren to prepare individuals “for the useful occupations of life.” The first classes were held on April 17, 1876 in a second story room over a local printing shop. Three students attended, two of them women. In 1879, classes were moved to Founders Hall on the present campus, located in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Huntingdon, the county seat, has a current population of approximately 8,000. Huntingdon is located in the mountains of scenic central Pennsylvania, midway between Interstate 80 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. In 1896, Juniata was accredited as a four year liberal arts institution. The first bachelor of arts degree was awarded in 1897 and the first bachelor of science in 1920. Originally a joint stock entity, Juniata was chartered as a nonprofit institution in 1908. From its inception, Juniata devoted itself to liberal education within the context of ethical values and useful citizenship. Our recently revised mission statement reflects our commitment to these goals. The campus contains 43 buildings, a 315 acre nature preserve, and a 365 acre environmental field station. The von Liebig Center for Science, with state of the art classrooms and laboratories, was opened in 2002. Capital improvements in the past five years include renovations, refurbishments, and new construction.

    _ ______ A An Update on P Environmental _ Issues in Environment Digest Pennsylvania Edited By David E. Hess, Crisci Associates August 25, 2008 PA Environment Digest Video Blog Coalition: Budget Leaves Farmers Behind, Nutrient Trading Vital – Video Blog While the budget adopted by the state in July included major new funding to improve wastewater infrastructure, it did little to address the needs of farmers required to meet state and federal clean water mandates or to create a Nutrient Credit Trading Bank that would lower the cost of meeting the mandates, according to the Pennsylvania Fair Share for Clean Water Coalition . Representatives of the Coalition, including the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, Pennsylvania Municipal Chairs Hanna, Hershey Authorities Association, Pennsylvania Builders Association, Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, presented testimony today to the House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee during a public hearing on farm conservation funding needs at Ag Progress Days near State College. Rep. Mike Hanna (D-Clinton) serves as Majority Chair of the Committee and Rep. Art Hershey (R-Chester) serves as Minority Chair. Video Blog: Reps. Hanna and Hershey Introduce Hearing “Federal and state clean water mandates require both wastewater plants and farmers to reduce nutrient pollution running in Pennsylvania’s rivers and streams,” said Matthew Ehrhart, Pennsylvania Executive Director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. “While we were pleased the Fair Share Coalition was able to secure funds for infrastructure upgrades, we were very disappointed the Governor and General Assembly did not provide any new help for Pennsylvania’s family farmers, especially given the fact that agriculture is one of the largest sources of impairment to local rivers and streams." “Farmers have been hard at work reducing nutrient runoff over the last 25 years,” said Ehrhart.
