It takes me back to when I was a senior in college and hiked the Andes for four days before arriving at Machu Picchu. I have been fortunate enough to travel as a student as well as to teach education students overseas. Colleges across the country today realize that exposure to the world outside U.S. borders isn't just an extra touch for a few- students, but a necessity for all. Any education worth its salt must worth its be a global education. According to Thomas Friedman, the world is flat, the economy is filled with players from every part of the globe, and no one can remain salt must in isolation and survive. Far more than this drives us to appreciate and enhance our global connections at Mercyhurst. Our roots lie in a group of women from Ireland who saw the global community as their responsibility. These women traveled from be a g l o b al Dublin to Pittsburgh to Titusville and on to Erie to found this learning community on the hill. Equally significant, we are a part of a global church of over one billion members. This Catholic Church touches education' every shore and attempts to bring Jesus' vision of justice to the world. By Dave Livingston Our vision of education at Mercyhurst calls us to know ourselves and the world, to bring our talents in service to the world and, by so doing, to complete ourselves. It might have been unthinkable in the 1930s for a woman enrolled at Mercyhurst to spend the spring term of her junior year in Russia, but it now happens every year. Our students come to Mercyhurst to prepare to serve the world, and to serve the world thev must know the world. J Our student body includes students from Honduras and Poland, Ireland and Tibet, and dozens of other countries. This international flavor enhances the classroom experience for everyone. Our students also travel to a myriad of countries to see and experience firsthand t h e unique cultures around the globe. Classes such as Hinduism, Comparative Politics of Asia and History of the Modern Middle East introduce students to the complexities of global citizenship. Mercyhurst is a campus enlivened by its relationship to the global community. We have done so much, and yet have so much more to do. The world may be flat but we still sit upon a hill, and from this hill we see the world stretched before us beckoning us to venture forward to learn and to serve. David J. Livingston, Ph.D., is an associate professor of religious studies at Mercyhurst. 1 < i • » V < « / r ' \ • / r } v Junior Jenn Halinda lives only a two-hour drive from kw Erie, but now needs a passport to cross the Peace Bridge A to her home near Fort Erie, Ontario.

  • 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.

    Paper Presentation Abstracts Teaching Textual Variety: Pedagogical and Research Implications Dr. Jessica M. Jost-Costanzo, Associate Professor and Chair Department of Arts, Communication Studies, and English, Mount Aloysius College, [email protected] In 2015 the phrase “digital amnesia” was discussed frequently by textual scholars, and even by mainstream journalists. The phrase can be used to describe the reader’s ability/inability to retain information gleaned from digital text, but for the purposes of this study the phrase as it denotes the loss of text in the digital sphere is the focus. The World According to Google, a popular documentary film released in 2015, features numerous interviews with historians and techies who make it their mission to save information that will be lost when it is quite simply deleted. Yes, the Internet Archive takes a regular “snapshot” of the internet, but this does not make information that was deleted easily findable or available, especially for research purposes. The purpose of this presentation will be to present and discuss how this concept of digital amnesia impacts students even today. The questions that will be addressed include the following: Is there information that is lost to students? How do students find information that has been snapshotted? Also, how do we talk to students about texts in our classes? How can we provide great instruction on research that relies on the extensive databases that are available to students while also giving them some foundational instruction using traditional hard copy texts? The hope is that students can understand the value of interacting with texts in all formats.
