To help ensure quality academic and non-academic programs, we provide many opportunities for faculty and staff development. These opportunities not only help our faculty and staff remain current in their fields, they provide them renewal. The campus is especially proud of its focus on providing a learning environment that fosters collaboration, team-building, appropriate technological use, and tolerance for diversity. Grants and gifts to the campus remain strong. Scholarship endowments continue to grow.
Numerous grants support several academic programs and functions.
We will need to work closely with faculty in both programs to give the necessary support to ensure the success of these programs. We are excited by the potential that the School of Information Science and Technology brings to the citizens of Pennsylvania. We hope to offer an associate degree in IST, beginning Fall 2000. We are beginning to investigate interest, support, and need for this degree within our service area. We are also interested in being able to offer a Women's Studies minor.
