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 />
