Academic Affairs Committee: Provost Wilson highlighted the census enrollment data with an overall head count for Fa112013 of 5,260 which is down only 68 from last year, ranking us 4th from the top of the PASSHE universities of maintaining our enrollment. Dr. Wilson commended the enrollment management team for their work in increasing retention. The search process for the founding dean of the College of Natural, Behavioral & Health Sciences has concluded and an offer is expected to be made shortly. A faculty member has been appointed as the Special Assistant to the Provost to assist with the middle states accreditation process. A revision to the general education requirements was approved by a large margin by the University's Curriculum Committee. The changes will reduce the amount of credits and cumbersome requirements while anchoring general education in student learning outcomes, enabling the University to deliver a quality curriculum at a significantly reduced cost.

Trustee Houser commented that the enrollment is indeed a positive attribute for the University and should be a focus as we talk to policy makers to develop appropriations. Trustee Houser maintains that Lock Haven University is a leader in the System, and not a drain on the System. Trustee Krevsky joined the meeting via phone conference. President Fiorentino commended Provost Wilson for accomplishing a major feat with the generaJ education revision, which was not an easy task and generated a great deal of debate and controversy. Trustee Coploff inquired which faculty member received the assignment as Special Assistant to the Provost. Provost Wilson responded it was Dr. Brett Everhart from the Health and Physical Education Department. Student Affairs Committee: Dr. Dwayne Allison reported on the initial opening of the Dress for Success Career Closet through Career Services, enabling students to receive a professional outfit for their presentations and employment interviews. Donated items filled nearly two residence hall rooms. Trustee Suder was acknowledged for her recent donation of items for this program. Although the federal funding for the Americorp program was eliminated, the University continues to look for programming to promote community service opportunities for our students, and the number of service hours continues to increase. Dining services has successfully enticed nearly 1,100 volunteer meal plan holders in addition to the 1,450 mandatory plans, which evidences the fact that food service provides our students with good options for their meal needs. Residence hall occupancy was at 100% for the fall 2013 semester, and required the opening of a closed hall to accommodate additional needs of nearly 185 students to live in a residential hall situation. External Affairs Committee: Mr. Rodney Jenkins reported that the homecoming celebration was successfully and his office will be presenting a proposal to expand the current activities and seeking sponsorships, going from a weekend event to a whole week celebration. Homecoming 2014 is scheduled the week of October 22 through October 25. A new process was implemented for the Phonathon campaign, which already exceeded the previous year's totals. At the end of the two-semester campaign, the goal is to raise $150,000. Currently nearly 20% of the monies raised were provided by those who had not donated to the University previously. The students manning the Phonathan have been engaged with their callers and have done a great job. Trustees Suder and Swope both suggested that the students be provided with prior gift information so that they can use that information to ask for a like donation, or increase, and would have the date of the gift to remind the caller when they last gave.

Trustee Coploff inquired what the typical rate of collection on the Phonathon pledges. Mr. Jenkins responded that it nonnally generates 95% of the pledges. The website overhaul continues to be fine-tuned and social media outlets and the mobile applications have been activated. The benefit of this expanded system allowed every local media outlet to feature the University's press release on the new CNG trolley. The Bald Eagle Sports radio network is a partnership with three radio stations as the local ESPN affiliate enabling our athletic events to be heard throughout Lycoming, Clinton, and Centre counties. Each Thursday the coaches produce a live show from Haywoods on the Green, and this event has been so successful that several other local restaurants have approached us to participate. The LHU Foundation continues to develop relationships with our alumni and friends of the University, and has successfully raised $600,000 in the first quarter. Scholarships have increased from $25,000 to $35,000 through additional contributions to the endowment. The Foundation is diligently seeking sponsorships for naming rights on several facility projects. November 21 will showcase the Krevsky Arts Scholarship recipient at a concert at the Durrwachter Alumni Conference Center. A half-day development retreat is scheduled on February 7, starting at 8:00 am, to include the members of the Trustees and Student Auxiliary Services, Alumni and Foundation boards. Athletic Advisory Board: This Board is a presidential committee and chaired by Mr. Jenkins and involves campus staff and community members. Mr. Jenkins reported that the new athletic director was effectively integrating into his new position, and working with the community for innovated initiatives to support athletics. Finance and Administration Committee: Mr. Bill Hanelly updated the Trustees on the Ulmer renovation which will be in two phases. The first phase will include the demolition of the interior to allow for office space for the occupants of Russell Hall and the Courthouse Annex. It is anticipated that this work will be completed for occupancy by the Fall 2014 semester. The second phase will include the renovation of the third floor for administrative offices. As a follow-up to the discussions at the last meeting to develop a multi-year projection and fee schedule for auxiliary services, the first area to be finalized is the residence hall program. Mr. Hanelly presented a five-year plan which would support an average of an annual 6.3% increase and allow for modified renovation projects to the residence halls, starting with Woolridge and Smith Halls. Part of the project for Woolridge would include a Wellness Center on the ground floor that would allow the University to move the Glennon Infinnary Health Services to a more central location on campus. The renovation of the traditional residence halls would also allow us to remain competitive with regard to facilities sought by prospective students, without the expense of additional student housing. The five-year plan would allow our students and their families the ability to be aware of their costs while pursuing their education at LHU. Trustee Dwyer joined the meeting via conference calL

REPORTS
Trustee Graham reported there was a meeting of the Executive Committee to discuss personnel and property matters. There were no items presented at this meeting requiring action by the Council.
Dr. Michael Fiorentino, Jr.
President
Dr. Fiorentino asked for a moment of silence for Dr. Gerald Robinson who was not only a long-time supporter of the University, but a leader and model for students, staff, and administration. Dr. Bill Curley and his staffwere acknowledged for the warm welcome to the Clearfield Campus and hosting the Trustee meeting. Trustee Seidel recently received the Nanotechnology Scholar award at the recent Science Convocation and Dr. Fiorentino congratulated her, noting it was rewarding to see the number of outstanding students who have interest in, and excitement for, the sciences, and in particular the significant number of young women participating in the sciences studies. Chancellor Brogan will visit our campus tomorrow and has scheduled an open forum session with faculty, staff and students, as well as a private meeting with the President. A return visit in the spring will also be scheduled. There have been three very successful recent open houses which were well attended and received great engagement and interaction from prospective students and their families. The 2013 Homecoming Weekend was very well attended and included several special events and attendees were excited about the new science center. A ceremony was held to honor Bob and Dolores Lynch for their years of service to the University with the dedication of a painting by Emerita May Dyer. Many alumni came out to this early morning event to see Dolores Lynch and remember Bob. President Fiorentino has been meeting with the academic departments with the assistance of the Provost and deans to discuss a wide variety of matters specific to the departments as well broader campus planning initiatives. Congressman Thompson held his annual Government Outreach program on campus targeted to high school students from the areas' districts. Senator Scarnati visited the area and was provided a tour of the science center. As Senator Scarnati will be Clinton County's senator through the redistricting efforts, President Fiorentino reviewed with him the needs of the University.

The annual math competition drew more than 600 students from eleven high schools, and the event grown too large for the original location venue. President Fiorentino traveled to California to participate in the AASCU conference as the Pennsylvania State Representative and attended meetings regarding state and federal issues facing higher education today. Some ofthe materials received at that conference were distributed to the Trustees. The ROTC and local Veterans' Office sponsored a Veteran's Ceremony recognizing the University's students who are veterans and receiving scholarships. The University and LHU Foundation are sponsoring a concert event featuring the Krevsky Arts Scholarship recipient on November 21. The faculty from the Business Department hosted a senior reception for networking with members of their advisory board and community members, allowing our students an opportunity to interact with them in a professional networking event. President Fiorentino continues to advocate for the University with local and state officials and to provide them with information concerning the outstanding accomplishments of our students and staff. Additionally the University has been taking the lead in a study to increase transportation options between Williamsport and Clinton County, and this effort has solidified a working relationship with the municipal leaders involved. Two retreats have been scheduled to focus on the Foundation and fund raising. The first is with the faculty department chairs and administration, and the second wi11 involve the volunteer boards. Each of these sessions will review the roles of the different partnership and providing information on our fund-raising efforts as the University moves to begin a capitol campaign. Trustee Elby commended the University on the Homecoming events, and particularly the Lynch celebration which was well attended.
Special Report Clearfield Update: Dr. William Curley Dr. Bill Curley reported on a student initiative to honor the victims and families of the 9111 event, being a ten mile run through the community.

The Clearfield Campus has been focusing on community engagement through displaying local artists from the community on site, and hosting a chamber after-hours event. A new academic program in environmental studies will dovetail into the greenway project to promote an outdoor learning space through the 105 acres of ground of the Clearfield Campus. This space is also slated for student and community engagement and use. The Campus' slogan "Right size, right fit" provides an excitement and synergy for the future of the branch campus. Trustee Suder inquired about the possibility of Marcellas Shale drilling at the Cleartield Campus site. Mr. Hanelly responded that any movement towards this type of initiative would require conversations at many levels. President Fiorentino expressed his appreciation to Dr. Curley and his work at the Clearfield Campus. Academic Affairs Report Donna Wilson, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Wilson announced that Dr. Khalequzzaman and Dr. Jody Russell were recognized for their outstanding scholarship and service at the Founders Day Convocation. Two faculty members, Mmjorie Maddox-Hafer and Marlene Jensen also recently had works published. Several student achievements were recognized: seven global honors students earned 13 presentations at the NCHC conference, the Lock Haven University choirs will be performing a holiday concert in Williamsport, The Nathaniel Alston Student Achievement Award was won by Physician Assistant student Rebecca Gardner, the Thomas Lemley Award for Health Disparities was received by Christy Lejkowski, and student Scott Tinley along with Dr. Richard Lalley presented at the International Association for the Philosophy of Sport Annual Conference. Dr. Wilson outlined several initiatives including a revised general education program which was passed by the faculty, implementation of "flipped classrooms" funded by student success grants through the LHU Foundation, redesigning ofthe student orientation experience, and planning for the strategic enrollment management plan which included collaborations between the three divisions of the University. Searches are underway for five tenure-track faculty positions, the search for the founding dean of the College of Natural, Behavioral, and Health Sciences is nearing conclusion, and Dr. Brett Everhart, a faculty member in the Health and Physical Education Department, has accepted assignment as the Special Assistant to the Provost for Assessment and Accreditation. Trustee Coploff asked Provost Wilson to provide additional information on the flipped classroom concept. Dr. Wilson explained that the students typically watch lectures and other information sessions as "homework" and then

the application/analysis/discussion/group work occurs during the assigned class time facilitated by the faculty member. Provost Wilson reported that enrollment for the Fall 2013 semester reached 5,260, only a 1.28% decrease from last year. This decline in enrollment is attributed to a decline of high school students which will continue over the next three to five years. Our slight decline, however, when taken in context, is a success in relation to our maintaining stability of enrollment amongst the PASSHE institutions as Lock Haven University ranked fourth from the top in enrollment growth. Student Affairs Report
Dwayne Allison, Interim Vice President for Student Affairs
Dr. Allison outlined the new "Dress for Success Closet" which is being promoted by the Career Services Offices. The program receives gently used professional clothing that is given to our students for presentations andlor job interviews. Currently two rooms have been filled with donations and our students are taking advantage of this program. In addition to clothing, monetary donations are accepted and will be used to purchase items for our students. The intramural programs available through the Student Recreation Center provide opportunities for our students to join in extra-curricular activities on campus, with more than 900 students participating in ten sports for the Fall 2013 semester. These activities provide opportunities for students to form bonds and have fun while not in classes and serve as a significant retention tool.
Finance and Administration Report
William Hanelly, Vice President for Finance and Administration
Mr. Hanelly reported on the cost of funding the retirement programs into the future. Currently TIAA CREF receives an employer contribution of 9.25% of salary whereas the SERS employer contributions are seeing significant increases: 15.1 % in the 2013114 academic year and increases to 31.6% for the 2017118 academic year. No additional funding is provided to the universities for these increases, impacting the Lock Haven University budget by $4.7 million per year over a ten-year period. Mr. Hanelly noted that this will continue to be our largest financial challenge in the future. The Trustee Finance and Administration committee was presented with information with respect to setting housing fees that provides a fund to renovate existing facilities. A plan was presented to set a multi-year fee schedule indicating a gradual increase over the next several years to build a plant fund to provide limited, but meaningful, renovations for Woolridge and Smith Halls to make our facilities more attractive for prospective students. The fee schedule as presented could be visited periodically for adjustment as appropriate.

Special Report: Dr. Mark Cloud APSCUF President Dr. Cloud highlighted a project by Dr. Barrie Overton in Biology focusing on bat research and the white nose syndrome fungus which is killing the bats. Dr. Overton has been able to utilize this research as a class project, engaging several students and partnering with the Bureau of Wildlife Management to obtain a $38,000 grant. Dr. Cloud believes that this type of engagement with students is at risk due to the severe budget cuts, and the retrenchment of faculty at several PASSHE universities. Dr. Cloud acknowledged the positive relationship with LHU Administration in their concerted efforts not to issue retrenchment letters; however, he also suggested that continued program cuts and possible retrenchment at LHU would result in the campus faculty picketing next year as is being done on other campuses. Dr. Cloud asked the Trustees to use their influences with political leaders to make a case for support of the State System, offering to have faculty and coaches help trustees in any way possible to carry the important message to legislators. Dr. Cloud expressed his concern about the performance funding formula that hasn't worked effectively to assist the PASSHE universities, as well as an $18 million special project fund and its distribution. Trustee Suder inquired if APSCUF has been able to offer any alternatives to the increasing pension cost. Dr. Cloud reported that only 40% to 45% of the faculty participate in SERS. He further indicated he was unaware of any specific proposal but APSCUF regularly reviews related legislative proposals.

Special Trustee Meeting
December 19, 2014
The Foundation will be responsible for the benefits for the Alumni Director position, with the University being responsible, through the MOU, to compensate for the salary of the Alumni Director position. In addition, the University will be paying a portion of the budget that had been allocated to Alumni Relations, through the MOU to support the operations. Savings to the University, while not totally calculated at this point, includes the benefits for the Alumni Director approximating $45,000, the salaryibenefits of the clerical position which might reach $40,000, and approximately $8,000 to $10,000 in the department budget line. LHU Administration will update the Trustees at its February 2014 meeting the exact savings realized by these transfers. Trustee Durrwachter inquired if the benefit package for the transferring employee would be comparable. President Fiorentino stated that it was comparable. President Fiorentino noted that the LHU Foundation has raised more money in the first quarter than all of last year. This item was brought before the Council of Trustees through a special meeting to facilitate the transfer of positions at the earliest opportunity, acknowledging that after University personnel sign offboth PASSHE legal counsel and the Attorney General's Office must review and sign off.
Resolution: Amendment to MOU between LHU Foundation and LHU

LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY
Report of the Provost/Sr. Vice President for Academic Affairs
to the
Academic Affairs Committee of the Council of Trustees
February 7, 2014
1. Enrollment
As of January 17, total headcount enrollment stands at 4829, down just 6 students from a count of 4835 on that date in 2013. Graduate enrollment (all campuses) is 379, down 6 from this date 2012; undergraduate enrollment at main campus is 4100, down 32 from 2012, and undergraduate enrollment at Clearfield is 350, up 32 from 2012. Given the demographics of our region and precipitous declines at some other PASSHE institutions, these numbers are very encouraging. Our students are persisting in greater numbers, helping them to reach their goals; and this all bodes well for the financial health of the institution.
2. Reorganization for effectiveness and efficiency The divisions of Academic Affairs and Student Affairs are merging as of January 21, 2014, and will come under oversight of Provost Wilson. The chief student affairs officer will be the Associate Provost for Student Affairs; the University will commence a search for an Associate Dean for Student and Residence Life as soon as possible. Dr. Brett Everhart, Department of Health and Physical Education, agreed to serve a 2.5 year faculty reassignment as Special Assistant to the Provost. He will assist the Provost with matters pertaining to assessment of student learning, program assessment, and accreditation, including the Periodic Review Report due to Middle States on June 1, 2016.
3. Administrative Searches Dr. Scott Carnicom, formerly of Middle Tennessee State, has accepted appointment as Founding Dean of Natural, Behavioral, and Health Sciences. He begins his appointment January 21,2014. We welcome him as the newest member of Lock Haven University academic affairs leadership team.
4. Academic Programs and Curriculum Full proposals for a Master of Health Science, with concentrations in Healthcare Management and in Health Education/Promotion, and for an Associate of Arts in Environmental Studies have been submitted to the Office of the Chancellor. The moratorium of Music Education is proceeding through the curricular process. Departments and the University Curriculum Committee are working diligently to adjust their major curricula to the changes in General Education and, at the same time, to bring all degrees into compliance with the Board of Governors Policy on Degrees. We anticipate no obstacles to bringing all degree programs into compliance by the July 2015 deadline.
5. Accreditation The ASN program will receive the site visit team from NLNAC at Clearfield on February 11-13.
6. Academic Planning Processes Clearfield Campus Strategic Plan: A new strategic plan for the Clearfield Campus, formulated by faculty and staff and fully aligned with the Lock Haven University Strategic Plan, has been approved by the President and posted on the Clearfield Campus landing page. Orientation: The committee charged with designing an orientation process, including goals, outcomes, and assessments, comprised of faculty and staff from Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, has completed their work and submitted a plan for the President's consideration. Strategic Enrollment Management Plan: The planning process was launched with a large meeting of faculty, staff, and students on November 1,2013. Participants addressed opportunities and challenges in five enrollment management categories. AVP Lange is using the salient findings from that meeting to write a first draft of the plan, which will be disseminated for comment by the campus community in general and the Enrollment Management Committee in particular. A completed plan will be in place by ApriL First Year Experience: The First Year Experience committee has reviewed a proposal and recommended fundamental elements of a common LHU First Year Experience, together with an implementation plan and indicators of success to be assessed. With the support of the Provost's Office and guidance from the First Year Experience committee, the deans, chairs, enrollment management staff, Center for Excellence and Inclusion, and student affairs staffwill work together to coordinate implementation for the fall 2014 first-year cohort.
7. Worthy of Note: The first annual Provost's Lecture in International Relations will feature Ambassador Deborah-Mae Lovell, ambassador to the United States from Antigua and Barbuda. The lecture will take place April 15 in Price Auditorium. Ambassador Lovell has 25 years of experience in the Antigua and Barbuda Foreign Service. Her topic is to be determined. The International Education Committee, the Institute for International Study, the Dean of Liberal Arts and Education are coordinating events, in consultation with the Offices of the Provost and the President.

Facilities Department Director ofFacitities, Keith Roush Projects completed on campus: • Fiber Optics Infrastructure upgrades: All underground installation of fiber (including testing) was completed in mid-December. Installation ofthe new higher speed switches in academic buildings (with the exception ofRLC) will be complete before the end of winter break. Wiring in remaining buildings will be pulled as buildings/personnel are available throughout the upcoming year. • Science Center: Working with DGS and the contractors to complete change order work and address ongoing issues that arise as the building is being fully utilized. Almost all issues have been addressed over the winter break with the exception of noise in certain rooms from the ventilation systems. • A study was perfonned by H. F. Lenz to investigate options for replacement of the underground electrical service throughout campus. The study will be used as the basis for design for our upcoming capital Electrical Infrastructure project, which is slated for capital funding in 2014-15. The project will focus on the replacement of the existing cabling and transformers with the goal of providing redundant feeds to each building so that power can be maintained to the majority of the buildings on campus in the event of a failure at any given point within the system.
Contracted and on-going projects: • Generator replacements in TFH and Raub Hall: Project has been bid and contracts have been awarded for the replacement of the emergency generators in these buildings during the summer of2014. • Repurposing of Ulmer Hall: Project has been bid and contracts are being awarded for the initial phases of renovations to Ulmer Hall.

Design is currently underway with a target for beginning of construction offa112014. • PHMC Study for the demolition of select buildings on campus: Project to document buildings slated for demolition on campus (Gross Hall, CH Annex, Sullivan) and obtain PA Historical Museum Commission and DGS approvaL Study completed in December.

First year focus (summer 2015) will be renovations to Woolridge Hall.
Human Resources Department Associate Vice President ofHuman Resources, Deana Hill Benefits: • FSA Open Enrollment - November 4th - November 15th Effective with the 2014 plan year, FSA participants will have the ability to carryover up to $500 of unspent healthcare FSA monies into the following plan year (the 2015 calendar year), and will have that entire year to incur and submit eligible expenses against those carryover dollars. This change provides FSA participants with more flexibility to spend their healthcare FSA dollars when they need them. Individuals frequently cite the risk of forfeiting unspent funds as the primary reason for not participating in an FSA plan - the ability to carryover up to $500 to be spent at any time during the following year will reduce that risk and provide participants with more control over their money. This change should allow more individuals to take advantage of the tax-savings opportunities that result from FSA participation. We had 62 employees enroll in the FSA plan for the 2014 Plan Year. Wellness Committee • LHU Employee Wellness Committee Programs "Tis the Season to Lighten Up - 8 Week Newsletter Campaign - November 25 th through January 18th Through this Holiday newsletter campaign participants learned how to maintain a health-promoting lifestyle, while still celebrating in style.

Participants also receive a tracking scorecard so they can track the workouts they do throughout the six weeks. The goal is to complete 15 workouts by the end. • Real Food 101- 5 Week Newsletter Campaign - January 27th - March 1st There is a growing trend towards eating more wholesome and less processed food for better health. With over 45,000 items lining our grocery store shelves today, and a variety of new buzz works labeling our food to make it more appealing, it's becoming increasingly difficult to know how to make 2

Residence Life • On November 8-10, we had a group of 10 Residence Hall Association (RHA) and residence hall council students attend the Central Atlantic Affiliate of College And University Residence Halls (CAACURH) conference at Penn State University - State College, P A. Each student attended 5 program information sessions. Learning sessions ranged the information spectrum from how to conduct more productive meetings to hov.l to have collaboration amongst several organizations can make events go more smoothly and have more student participation at events. • In early November, we had a group of9 Student Life & Housing staff members voluntarily complete LGBTQ Supporter Online Training and the Safe Zone Ally Training. This was the first group to ever complete this training at LHU, and will hopefully be followed by many more in the future. • The REAL Conversations Diversity Series was completed throughout campus. It has become an expected and appreciated part of the LHU Community, especially among our students. The partnership and collaboration that has developed with members of the faculty and administration to deliver these engaging and thought provoking discussions shows how much the professionals at LHU truly care about the welfare and development of our students. Over the past semester we delivered a variety of topics that included: 1. The emotional and mental damage of biased slurs, jokes, and miscommunication
2. Coping with grief and loss
3. Social equity and the inequality of fair access to livelihood, education, and resources
4. Self-esteem and being okay with me
5. Authentic communication and taking ownership in what we say
6. Diversity and the responsibility of all to take action
7. The dangers of stereotyping and labeling
8. LGBTQ and the ally in all of us
Facilitators for these discussions included Mr. Kenneth Hall, Mr. Albert Jones, Mr.
Richard Czyzyk, Dr. Laurie Cannady, Dr. Rick Schulze, Dr. Tara Mitchell, and Dr. Lynn
Bruner.
The spring 2014 semester is already underway with 5 new student-identified topics that include (1) Spirituality, (2) Bullying, (3) Suicide, (4) Sexual Assault, and (5) Leadership/Influence. Some of the facilitators already identified for next semester include: Dr. Erin Kennedy, Dr. Lisette Schillig, Mr. Jared Conti, Pastor Josh Grimes, and Dr. Lynn Bruner.

External Relations Trustee Report
February 2014
Alumni Relations Memorial Program Entering into its seventh year, the Alumni Association Memorial Program has passed the $40,000 level in contributions. This year's solicitation letters will be going out within the next month. Upcoming Scheduled Events Florida social events will be held February l2th & 13th. 20th Annual Alumni Golf Tournament & Alumni Weekend June 6 & 7 - Our goal is to increase the profits this year by getting the golf committee more involved and promoting the 20th anniversary of the tournament. The event will be held at the Clinton Country Club. Homecoming Activities are being planned for the week of October 20 - 25. A committee has been established to create a more elaborate calendar of events for both students and alumni. Foundation The Foundation has been successful in raising funds to benefit Lock Haven University in the first two quarters of fiscal year 2014. In the first six months, LHUF raised $1.3 million and will achieve at least $600,000 in donations in the third quarter. Based on our development plan, our goal was $2M for the fiscal year which would more than double last year's amount raised. We are hopeful we will reach our goal in the third quarter. We have spent much of the last six months preparing for a potential capital campaign. The Foundation Board will vote to approve the framework of a campaign at their February 7th meeting. As previously reported, we are looking at a $25 million campaign goal and a campaign timeline of 1 July 2014 through 30 June 2021, although, based on the fantastic early results of the 2014 fiscal year, we may start the quiet phase of the campaign as of 1 July 2013. The Case for Support for the campaign has been previously approved, and the overall gift acceptance policy will be voted on by the Foundation Board at the February meeting. Pending approval, a capital campaign plan will be completed by June 2014. With the polar vortex in January, we had some repairs required in the Foundation-owned residence halls. On a positive note, leasing within Evergreen Commons has been especially good this year. As of this writing, we have 380 applications and 352 leases which ensure the facility will be 86% full. Last year at this time, we had 255 applications and 175 leases. It is obvious that there is still a great need for attractive housing options on campus. As part of a new PASSHE regulation, any naming opportunities (e.g., through the Capital Campaign) need to be pre-approved by the Council of Trustees before the Foundation solicits support from donors. Additionally, all gift agreements must state that gifts must be for the program, and that the recognition will then be approved by the Council of Trustees. Potential donors will be provided to the Council of Trustees prior to a gift agreement being written in the future. From an investment side, the Foundation endowment reached $lOM for the first time. We garnered an II % increase, or approximately $IM in investment gain.
The Lock Haven University Foundation will be very pleased to cohost the February Board Retreat on 7 February from 9 AM 12 PM in the Durrwachter Alumni Conference Center Boardroom. Refreshments will available at the start of the retreat, and lunch will be provided after the session.
Marketing/Public Relations The website continues to improve with the completion of department enhancement with photographs, and continuation of improvements throughout the site. The LHU Community site has been password protected so as to be a communicative tool for internal communicative purposes only.
The Haven alumni magazine is in its final stages of production for the February issue. The magazine is now printed and distributed twice a year-mostly in electronic form (February and September); with the September issue containing the LHU Foundation Annual Report. The Marketing staffhas been working with Dr. Goonewardene (Nanotechnology) on marketing strategies for the nanotechnology program. Discussions consist of the creation of commercials, website videos, and printed materials to be used to heavily recruit students for the sciences, but specifically the nanotechnology program. The marketing activities will be paid for by revenue generated through grants. Marketing staff has also begun the process of reviewing and updating the current university wide marketing plan as well as developing the Case for Support Marketing Initiative. In addition, staff is working with Clearfield Campus leadership to draft the marketing strategy specific for that campus, yet aligned with the Lock Haven University'S overall plan. The External Communications department, in partnership with River Valley Transit, the city of Lock Haven, and the Clinton County Commissioners, has moved discussions forward in regards to bringing regional public transportation from Lycoming County to Clinton County. There were two public meetings held in January allowing the public to hear information and comment on the: transportation topic. River Valley Transit also had a bus available for the public to tour. The consultants will work with the city and county leaders to implement a three-month trial run period. Lock Haven University was one of five PASSHE institutions to meet and/or surpass their SECA goals for 2014. Athletic Advisory Board

The Division /I ASR is similar to the Division I Graduation Success Rate (GSR) in that it includes those that transfer into the institution in the calculation and removes students who left the institution in good academic standing. Additionally, the ASR includes all non-scholarship student-athletes due to the par/ial scholarship model of Division /I. The Federal Graduation Rate only measures the retention and graduation of those student-athletes that entered as freshman and received athletic aid. The ASR captures about two-thirds more student-athletes than the federal rate - and as a result -- is considered a more accurate measure of student-athlete academic performance.

Project Justification The current electrical inrrastructure has an average agc of approximately 50 years. Expansion and upgrades of electrical equipment in th~ buildings serviced by this inrrastructure and its age have been identified as a signiticant vulnerability to continued operations of the exist:ng campus buildings. Uncontrolled loss of power to one building could interrupt the use of one or several buildings on campus for extended periods. Renovation and upgrade of the electrical infrastructure currently in place is planned to include the major switchgear located at various campus buildings, much of which is the same age as the underground wiring. This project will prevent the unscheduled interruption of educational services and provide for the capability of future upgrade or expansion throughout the campus The need for this work is dictated by the age of our campus. We feed power to our buildings at ~ 12KV through underground cabling. Loss of a single cable, depending on where it is in the system, can take out of service rrom one to six buildings. We do not have emergency generators sized to replace all the power needs tor an individual building and our only recourse would be to rent portable generators until the cable could be replaced. A building could be out of service at least three-seven days until an altemate power source was provided and connected. Replacement of the cable, depending on the condition of the underground conduit, could take up to several weeks depending on wire and contractor availability. The University commissioned the H.F. Lentz Company to perform a feasibility study (completed December, 2013) to investigate various options for upgrade to the electrical inrrastructure system. The option chosen by the University involves the reuse of much of the existing conduit and ductbanks and adds additional ductbanks to provide a modified loop configuration. This configuration would allow electrical service to be fed rrom two directions for the majority of the buildings on campus. Costs indicated in this justification are the estimated costs provided in this study. The project site is owned entirely by the Commonwealth. Estimated useful life of this project is 40 years. This work is not dependent upon the present or future construction of any other capital project. There is little or no probability of securing federal, local or private funds to support this project. This project will not require an increase in staffing to support the facility. This implementation of this project is in keeping with the intent of the Facilities Master Plan and supports the overall Strategic Plan (sections 1.3, 5.1 and 5.3)* for Lock Haven University. */.3 Maintain a safe campus environment;
5./ Refine our mechanisms for ensuring that budget allocations and expenditures correspond to the University's priorities; and
5.3 - Collaboratively develop sequencial steps to allow implementation ofthe Facilities Master Plan. This project is necessary for long-tcnn continuation of University operations.

Project Justification Robinson Learning Center (RLC) is one ofLHU's main classroom buildings. Built in 1980, it is a 7 story building the.t houses classrooms, offices, the University's main computer center, radio station and TV station. It has not been renovated other than minor conversion of space, the addition of a new building emergency generator, work completed as part of a university-wide ESCO project and modifications to the computer center. An Integrated Facilities Plan completed in the spring of2013 by Sightlines has identified approximately $5 million dollars in deferred maintenance spending required to keep the building operating efficiently within the next five years. Of particular importance is the retrofitting of the current single pipe heating system which is corroding from the exterior of the piping inward due to the type of insulation installed during initial construction. In addition, changes in the delivery of educational materials make it necessary to modify classroom spaces and methods of delivery which requires renovations in order for the University to continue to meet its academic mission. As part of this project, any code and lor ADA deficiencies will be addressed and brought to current requirements. Energy efficiency will be increased through changes in the HVAC systems and exterior building shell. It is not expected that any personnel savings will be realized by the building renovation. No additional space will be added and the space distribution will remain approximately the same. Energy savings in the building will potentially increase as improvements in insulation are made to the building walls, roof and windows are replaced. New revenue sources, matching funds or return on investment potentials are not expected to help fund this work. The renovation is not dependent on the completion of any other capital work.
This implementation of this project is in keeping with the intent of the Facilities Master Plan and supports the overall Strategic Plan (sections 1.3,2.2 and 5.1)* for Lock Haven University.
*1.3 - Maintain a sofe campus environment; 2.2 Achieve incremental enrollment growth without compromising the academic quality ofour students and programs (modern academic buildings are necessary to attract and retain students), and 5.1 ~ Refine our mechanisms for ensuring that budget allocations and expenditures correspond to the University's priorities.

Project Justification Stevenson Library houses LHU's one and only library on the main campus. The four story building located near the center of campus was constructed in 1969. Over the years, interior space on the ground, first and second floors have been renovated to accommodate a computer lab, 24-hour study area and a tutoring/writing center. All of these renovations were mainly cosmetic. The building systems have remained as originally constructed with the exception of some boiler modifications completed as a part of a campus-wide ESCO project several years ago. The Integrated Facilities Plan conducted by Sightlines in early 2013 noted major deferred maintenance expenses related to the building HVAC systc:m that should be addressed within the next 2 to 5 years to maintain building functionality. Prior to any renovation work, a study will be conducted to ensure interior space configurations and utilization will align with current academic requirements for library and leaming spaces and the LHU academic plan. ADA, code and safety issues will be studied and resolved as part of the design. It is not expected that any personnel savings will be realized by the building renovation. No additional space will be added and the space distribution will remain approximately the same. Energy savings in the building will potentially increase as improvements in insulation are made to the building walls, roof and windows are replaced. New revenue sources, matching funds or return on investment potentials are not expected to help fund this work. The renovation is not dependent on the completion of any other capital work.

Project Justification Re-submittal of a capital project originally submitted in our 2002 Capital Budget, approved in Act 131 of$15,930,000.
2002 in the amount
ZimmerIi Gymnasium Building was built in 1968 and has not been renovated except for some minor work to internal space, work completed to enhance energy efficiency and the addition of an elevator to meet ADA requirements, An earlier 1994 programming study performed to support the building renovation identified major internal space changes that will enhance academic program delivery by the Physical Education and Health Sciences Departments. The project will also reduce deferred maintenance backlog in one of our older buildings. Significant structural cracks and building foundation settling were identified in the programming study. These issues will be addressed in the renovation along with major deferred maintenance repairs to the exterior staircases and building exits caused by these cracks and settlement. It is not expected that any personnel savings will be realized by the building renovation. No additional space will be added and the space distribution will remain approximately the same. Energy savings in the building will potentially increase as improvements in insulation are made to the building walls, roof and windows are replaced. New revenue sources, matching funds or return on investment potentials are not expected to help fund this work. The renovation is not dependent on the completion of any other capital work.
