Review

Students Receive Warm Welcome,Discover ‘Cal U for Life’

Now, more than ever, the worldneeds female leaders to bringtheir voices to the table.

A conference Sept. 14-15 at Cal Uwill address that need and explorewomen’s leadership in the home, theworkplace, the media, the politicalarena and the community.

Women: Finding a Voice and Leadingfor Change will be presented by thePASSHE Women’s Consortium and theAudrey-Beth Fitch Women’s StudiesConference.

“The PASSHE Women’sConsortium is a professional organiza-tion of students, staff, faculty andadministrators from all 14 PASSHEschools who are interested in advocat-ing for women,” said Dr. KimberlyWoznack, conference co-organizer andsecretary of the consortium.

“We can’t wait to see our membersfrom around the state and to host anamazing program of events.”

Keynote sessions will be held in thePerformance Center, inside the NataliStudent Center.

California University of Pennsylvaniaremains one of the best universities in thenortheastern United States, according to ThePrinceton Review.

The nationally known education servicescompany selected Cal U as one of the 222institutions it profiles in the Best in theNortheast section of its “2013 Best Colleges:Region By Region” listing atwww.PrincetonReview.com .

This is the eighthconsecutive year thatCal U has beenrecognized by ThePrinceton Review.Nationally, 633colleges — about 25percent of the country’s2,500 four-year institutions — were namedas regional bests this year.

In its online profile of Cal U, ThePrinceton Review notes the university’s“long tradition of excellence” and its“diverse array of major and minor programsof study” in liberal arts, science andtechnology and professional studies. Cal Ualso earned top marks in the “Green”category for “its performance as anenvironmentally aware and responsibleinstitution.”

Students said Cal U’s “facilities are top-notch” and praised the “wonderful”residence halls. “It’s in a small town so itfeels safe, but it’s only 45 minutes from theairport and downtown Pittsburgh,” onecontributor said.

“I have seen and met so many peoplefrom different backgrounds (and) all walksof life, from freshmen right out of local highschools, (to) students from Brazil, Canadaand Europe, to older, non-traditionalstudents pursuing a higher education,”another student stated. “I think it is thisunique blend of people that makes Cal Uspecial.”

Colleges designated as “best” werechosen primarily for their excellent academicprograms, according to Robert Franek, ThePrinceton Review’s senior vice president andpublisher. Schools were selected based ondata collected at hundreds of institutions,visits to schools, and the opinions ofindependent and high-school-based collegeadvisers who are invited to share theirrecommendations. Student comments alsoplay an important role in the rankings.

The 222 “Best Northeastern Colleges”are located in Connecticut, Delaware,Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, NewHampshire, New Jersey, New York,Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont andthe District of Columbia.

For the fourth consecutive year, incoming students atCal U took part in a Cal U for Life New StudentOrientation, their introduction to the University.

Held Aug. 24-26, the orientation consisted of informa-tional sessions and activities designed to give students aneasy and enjoyable transition into the Cal U experience.

The Cal U for Life spirit was evident beginning withMove-In Day. As new students and their families unloadedtheir belongings, about 250 peer mentors, fraternity andsorority members, and student athletes volunteered to carry

the items into the residence halls. Acting President Geraldine M. Jones and members of

her Cabinet also were visible on campus as they welcomednew students and their families.

Senior Lorena Aranda distributed neon-green T-shirts atthe registration table for volunteers.

“It was fun to help out,” she said. “The new students arevery important, and the orientation is a nice way to start theyear.”

thy percentage of women are at thetable, policies become more familyfriendly, companies see higher profitsfor shareholders, and employees aremore satisfied with their jobs,” says Dr.Marta McClintock-Comeaux, directorof the women’s studies program at CalU and a conference organizer.

“When women find their voices athome, there is greater equity, greatercommitment, greater satisfaction forfamilies.”

Move-In DayFamilies seemed pleased with the

experience.“The move-in process was very

organized,” said Laura Myers, whoaccompanied her son, Sam, on thejourney from York, Pa. “There were somany people willing to help that it madethe day very enjoyable. I was veryimpressed.”

“The campus is so beautiful that it’shard not to get excited about moving inyour child,” added dad Will Myers.

“I’m just really stoked,” said freshmanSam Myers. “I can’t wait to start mycourses and meet new people!”

The warm welcome helped to ease thetransition to college life for both parentsand students.

"I was filled with anxiety when wefirst pulled onto campus. That ended afterawhile, because we just feel comfortablehere," said Nancy Holtz, a mom fromHastings, Pa.

“I love the campus,” said her daughterLaura, a sophomore transfer student.“Everyone has been nice and helpful

throughout the day. I feel verycomfortable here already."

Later that evening, students gatheredin the Convocation Center for a skit bythe Good Life improv group and a paneldiscussion featuring Dr. Lisa McBride, ofthe Office for Social Equity; Jim Pflugh,associate dean for student conduct; andUniversity Police chief Bob Downey.New students were made aware of theStudent Code of Conduct and bothUniversity and borough regulations thatcould affect their future.

“Our role is to provide someguidelines to help you think about howyour actions affect others,” Pflugh said.“You have the right to safety and security,but you also have a responsibility toensure the safety of those around you.”

Later in the evening, Playfair gavestudents a chance to meet new people inan entertaining way before the EmmyAward-winning comedy duo of YamilPiedra and Johnny Trabanco — “A Pairof Nuts” — brought the evening to ahilarious close.

During orientation students attendedclasses focusing on academic success,D2L, time management, personal wellness

and success, civic engagement, careerservices, internships, and mentoring.

“As you make the transition to yournew surroundings, please remember thatmany people are standing by, ready tohelp you get to know the campus andbegin to feel at home,” she said. “Evenmore importantly, we will be herethroughout your college years to assistyou in achieving your personal andacademic goals.”

Candlelight and concertsThe weekend concluded with the

New Student Convocation and acandlelight ceremony emphasizing CalU’s core values, and a free concertfeaturing Tres Lads and Donora in theConvocation Center courtyard. Earlierthree student bands performed in thecourtyard –Daeshawn “Lil D Da Prince”Ballard, Seamus Hutchens, and CameronChambers.

Students then gathered around thefire-ringed Vulcan statue in the Quad.

“The Vulcan is a visual reminder ofour dedication to our University,” saidStudent Government AssociationPresident Alexandra Brooks. “I amproud to be a Vulcan, and it is myfondest wish that you feel the sameway.”

Acting President Jones emphasizedhow important a role Cal U’s neweststudents play in the University’s future.

“When I meet students like you, Iknow that Cal U will continue to prosperand move forward for many years tocome. Now you are a part of the Cal Ustory.”

Transfer student Julianna Jurasek, ahistory major, reflected on the weekendafter participating in the candlelightceremony.

“It was nice to get the freshmen andtransfer students together before the startof the semester,” she said. “And Playfairwas awesome! I got to meet a ton of newpeople. It just feels right.”

New Students Discover ‘Cal U for Life’

Cold weather and 6 inches ofsnow didn’t dampen the spirits ofgeology students participating in

a field study in the Northwestern UnitedStates in May.

After driving to Wisconsin, 14geology students and Dr. Kyle Fredrick,an associate professor in the Departmentof Earth Science, studied geologicalfeatures in South Dakota, Wyoming,Idaho and Utah.

“This field work study allows ourstudents to understand the differentscales and skills required to work in thefield,” says Fredrick. “We also hadstudents at various levels, and thatallowed for peer mentoring to occurnaturally.

“For the younger students, this is areal trial-by-fire for a career in geology.”

The first geological features thatstudents studied were glacial formationsat Devil’s Lake State Park in Baraboo,Wis.

Then the group traveled to SouthDakota, where they stopped for a cultureexperience at Mount Rushmore andstudied rock formations at BadlandsNational Park.

Many of the students raved abouttheir time spent in South Dakota.

“The most memorable part of thetrip was jogging 7 miles to the top ofHarney Peak in the Black Hills National

Forest with Dr. Fredrick and a few otherstudents,” said Nick Patton, a seniorgeology major.

“You could really feel the elevationdifference at 7,250 feet above sea level,and the view was amazing.”

The group learned about lava flowsand volcanic craters in Idaho before

stopping at Yellowstone National Parkin Wyoming.

Plans originally called for camping inthe park, but a 6-inch snowfall and manyroad closures forced the group to stay ina hotel outside of Yellowstone.

“We ran into some snow and had tostay in a hotel, but it offered us a better

perspective on the geological features inthat area,” Fredrick said. “Each day weentered the park from a differentdirection, and students were able to viewthe dramatic land changes from one sideof the park to the other.”

After a brief stop at Grand TetonsNational Park in Wyoming, the grouparrived at its final destination, DinosaurNational Monument in Utah.

Students participated in a mappingexercise where they had to identifygeological features and interpret thosefeatures on a map.

“Before this trip, I had no idea howto map,” said Clarissa Enslin, a juniorgeology major. “I learned how to takestrike and dip of rocks, and I broadenedmy knowledge of geomorphology andtectonics.”

Learning these types of skills is avital part of the field study, said seniorgeology major Bryan Nicholson.

“In the field, it is no longer atextbook drawing,” he said. “It istangible, and you realize you are seeingit, standing on it, and you know why itis there and how it can be altered in thefuture.

“We are given a chance to more aptlyapply what we learned in the classroomto real-life scenarios. In doing so, we canwalk away with an even greater respectfor the science.”

While the 2012 Olympic Games playedout in London earlier this month,two champion distance runners

visited the annual Cal U cross country summercamp, where they shared advice and reminiscedabout their careers.

Two-time Olympian Amy Rudolph andformer American record holder Chris Solinskyaddressed nearly 200 people — mostly eageryoung runners — in Old Main Chapel.

Rudolph, a native of Ridgway Pa.,competed in the 5,000-meter run at both the1996 and 2000 Summer Olympics. A six-timeU.S. champion and a former American recordholder in the 5,000 meters, she captured eightstate championships. She also was an NCAAnational champion at Providence University.

Solinsky set a new American record in the10,000-meter run in 2010, becoming the firstrunner from outside Africa to break the 27-minute barrier in that event. A five-time NCAAnational title winner during his time at theUniversity of Wisconsin, he was ranked third inthe world in 2010.

Rudolph, who competed in her first 50-yarddash at age 6, told the aspiring runners to use“three P’s” — plan, prepare and peak — as theirroute to success.

“You set your goals, you train, and the peakis when it has all come together for you,” shesaid. “When you go to the starting line, it’s likeyou’re ready to party and just let it rip.

“You have to ask yourself what you aredoing to help yourself. Every hour of every dayis accountable. Even my daily nap is part of mypreparation.”

Rudolph, now 38, was the 2006 U.S.champion in the 10,000-meter outdoor run and atwo-time 3,000-meter indoor champion. Yearslater, she still becomes emotional when lookingback on her Olympic experiences.

“It’s really hard to put it into words,” shesaid. “When you put that U.S. uniform on andgo out to the stadium — it still gives me chillsjust thinking about it. It’s an awesome and proudexperience.”

Solinsky recalled joining the powerhousecross country team at Stevens Point High Schoolin Wisconsin. His passion was soccer, he told theyoung athletes, until a senior, one of the state’stop runners, approached him.

“He told me how glad he was that I was partof this team,” Solinsky remembered. “From thatpoint on, my work ethic changed and I came inevery day ready to give everything.

“You juniors and seniors out there need todo that for your younger teammates.”

Solinsky missed making the 2008 Olympicsby just two seconds, and a severe hamstringinjury prevented him from competing in thissummer’s Olympic Games in London. But heplans to compete in next year’s worldchampionships in Moscow.

“While it’s very hard not to be there (inLondon), it hasn’t dampened my spirits,” hesaid. “I will be watching the events very closely,and I’m happy for the other guys and girls whoare there running for our country. ”

Among those in the audience was NoahHuffman of Dilltown, Pa., a rising sophomoreand cross country runner at Bishop McCortHigh School. He said he enjoyed both the talkand the sports camp directed Dan Caulfield, CalU’s seventh-year head coach for men’s andwomen’s cross country.

“This is great stuff,” Huffman said. “Tolisten and be able to ask questions of these tworunners is unbelievable.

“I’ve learned so much at this camp,especially about nutrition, the mental aspect (ofrunning) and not letting outside influencesinterfere with your performance.”
