  • 2015 PCA Conference Final Program
    Pennsylvania Communication Association 76th Annual Convention Translating our Communication Research into Practice October 9-10, 2015 Penn State University, York Campus 1031 Edgecomb Avenue York, PA 17403 PCA History The Pennsylvania Communication Association, originally called the Speech Communication Association of Pennsylvania, was founded in 1939 to promote teaching, research, service, and development of all areas of human communication. John Henry Frizzell of Pennsylvania State University was the first President. The state journal, Annual, is now in its 75th year. For more than 22 years, we have recognized important Pennsylvanians such as Fred Rogers (Mister Rogers), Governor William Scranton, Governor Edward G. Rendell, Lieutenant Governor Mark Schweiker, Dr. Sam Hazo (Poet Laureate of Pennsylvania), and others as outstanding speakers of the year. The Association recognizes its own members for their contributions to the field, as well as students and the many educational institutions in the state of Pennsylvania and beyond for their efforts in communication. Dear Colleagues, Welcome to historic York, Pennsylvania, to Penn State University’s York campus. This year, we begin with a pre-conference planned by Dr. Isaac Catt and Dr. Deborah Eicher-Catt. The theme of this year’s pre-conference is “Patterns of Connection: Gregory Bateson, American Pragmatism and European Philosophy.” The keynote speakers are Dr. Klaus Krippendorff, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Vincent Colapietro, Pennsylvania State University.

  • The Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE COLLEGES OF ENGINEERING AND THE LIBERAL ARTS LIVING WALLS: VARIETIES, BENEFITS AND GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION ALYCE DILAURO Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Public Relations with honors in Science, Technology, and Society Reviewed and approved* by the following: Laura Guertin Associate Professor of Earth Sciences Thesis Supervisor and Honors Adviser Andrew Lau Associate Professor of Engineering Design Thesis Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Today, “going green” has become a salient issue in the United States and across the globe. One of the green initiatives growing in popularity is the practice of green construction. Commercial, educational, and government buildings have increased their use of sustainable construction materials and environmentally-friendly designs with the addition of green roofs and living walls. Green roofs either partially or completely cover the roof of a building with vegetation for environmental and economic benefits. Living walls are similar to the design, construction and function of green roofs, yet these walls exist indoors or outdoors as a vertical arrangement of plants. One example of a living wall is an indoor herb wall constructed by Penn State. In Penn State’s entry to the 2009 Solar Decathlon competition, the Natural Fusion house contains planter boxes with herbs used for cooking that hang in the kitchen on boards of horizontal poplar. This indoor living herb wall receives sunlight from three skylights and water from the house occupants. Despite the green construction efforts in the United States, living walls are more popular and common in Europe than the rest of the globe.
