STUDENT DEVELOPMENT<br />
Contact: Phil Ruthkosky, Ph.D., Associate Dean<br />
The Student Development Office offers a wide array of educational and social<br />
experiences that enhance the quality of student life and learning. A few of the programs<br />
offered include the Cultural Series, Adventure Education, and the Weekend<br />
Entertainment Series. The Cultural Series introduces students to the world of art and<br />
performance by providing opportunities for students to experience visual art, music,<br />
theater and dance both locally and in larger Metropolitan areas such as New York City,<br />
Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. The Adventure Education program is an alternative<br />
learning experience designed to challenge students to engage in physically demanding<br />
activities (i.e. – rock climbing, white water rafting, and hiking) that emphasize wellness<br />
and provide practical leadership tools and lessons on teamwork. The Weekend<br />
Entertainment Series gives students a variety of low-cost entertainment options to<br />
choose from each weekend. In addition, there are also several day trips offered each<br />
semester.<br />
