English language for personal growth instruction in accordance with Wilkes University’s Writing Across the curriculum program All policies and governances found within this handbook apply to all students participating in the IEP at Wilkes University. Campus Interfaith Contact: Caitlin Czeh, Coordinator of Campus Interfaith The statement developed by the faculty, “An Educated Man or Woman,” enunciates the goals of the development of spiritual strength, ethical standards, and maintaining the respect for the religious convictions of all people. We recognize this need and encourage students to grow in spiritual and religious directions. Houses of worship of many denominations surround campus and there are also oncampus opportunities to worship. We support and encourage student participation in the religious and spiritual tradition of their choosing. The Campus Interfaith Director, located in the Student Center, can assist students in finding the closest house of worship of their choosing, as well as providing opportunities for students to gather for fellowship, study, and service. Sordoni Art Gallery Contact: Brittany Kramer DeBalko, Assistant Director The Sordoni Art Gallery, given to Wilkes in 1973 by The Andrew J. Sordoni Foundation, Inc., is located in Stark Learning Center. This modern facility presents exhibitions that enrich campus and community life. Exhibitions are supplemented by lectures, tours, demonstrations, and related arts programs. A growing permanent collection embraces all media but is particularly strong in 19th and 20th century American paintings. The print collection includes works of old masters as well as contemporary artists. The Gallery is a particularly valuable study facility for students. Hours are from noon to 4:30 p.m. daily, or by appointment. Student Mail Contact: James Yeninas, Supervisor The mailroom, which is located on the second floor of the Henry Student Center, is open from 8:30 A.M. till 4:30 P.M. Monday through Friday, and is the central receiving location for all university mail and packages. Neither USPS nor UPS, FEDEX, etc. will deliver to a residence hall address. All on-campus students are assigned a mailbox. All students’ mail should include the following information; 21
Name and box # 84 West South Street Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18766 This box will remain open for as long as the student resides on-campus. If the student withdraws from the university or moves off campus, their mailbox will be closed. It is advised that students notify the mailroom of their new address so that their mail maybe forwarded correctly. Incoming mail is sorted into student boxes each day, but depending on the time it arrives at the university and the volume received, this process may not be completed until noon or later. Postage stamps are available for purchase for students wishing to send letters or packages. The mailroom is also able to ship packages via UPS. Students may also drop off any pre-paid UPS, FEDEX, etc. packages for shipment. IMPORTANT REMINDER if family or friends are sending money through the USPS, please send checks or money orders only, no cash or gift cards. Also, it is the responsibility of students to make sure their mailboxes are locked after receiving their mail to avoid possible theft. Veterans Affairs Contact: Lt. Col. Mark Kaster, Veterans’ Counselor Students who are eligible to receive Veterans educational benefits should contact the Student Services Center located at University Center on Main Street (UCOM), first floor. Wilkes University has two certifying officials in the Student Services Center to process the veterans’ benefits information. Applications for VA educational benefits for new students should be completed at least six weeks prior to the start of classes. Veterans Assistance programs provide a wide range of benefits to those who have served their country in the Armed Forces, and, in some cases, to the dependent children of a veteran. Interested persons should contact their local VA Office to obtain information concerning GI Education Assistance, Veterans Education Programs, Veteran Rehabilitation, Veteran Educational Loans, the Veterans Work-Study Program, and other sources of Veterans Assistance. For specific benefits questions, you can contact the VA by calling 1-888-442-4551. All Veteran students MUST apply online at http://gibill.VA.gov Each student will then receive a (NOBE) reply to their application. Send a copy of the NOBE and the DD-214 to : Wilkes University Student Services Center Attn: VA Certifying Officials 84 West South Street Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 22
