New face in Glenhill
Farmhouse

“I came here because the
assistant director position looked
like a challenging job. The
position I held before this was
more administrative, so I didn’t
have much student contact. I
missed that,” said Jane Brady, the
new assistant director of
Admissions and Financial Aid.
Brady had worked at Monroe
Community College in the
Admissions and Financial Aid
office as a specialist. After
Monroe, Brady worked at
Edinboro University. There, she
worked as an assistant for student
affairs. This position required her
to work directly with the
Provost, with little student
interaction.
“I really missed the student
contact,” said Brady. “When the
position here [at Behrend] became
available...l considered it. I think
Behrend is a high quality
institution.”

New addition to Behrend admistration: Jane Brady, from Rochester, NY, is the new
assistant director of Admissions and Financial Aid. She previously worked at Edinboro
University.
Julie’s work for Jane Earll
includes setting up and working
booths at local events, like We
Love Erie Days, helping with
fundraisers, and canvasing (going
door to door). Last week Jane
Earll made an appearance at the
Polish Falcons Club and Julie
was with her.
Along with Julie’s interest in
getting students to vote, she is
trying to get women more
involved in politics. “There still
aren’t enough women involved in
politics,” said Julie.
When asked why she was
involved with Jane Earll and not
Joe Conti, Julie said, “Jane
brings a new perspective to Erie.
She’s different, strong, has a
solid background in law with
strong convictions. She’s
tough.”
Julie is looking for help and
ideas. If you would like to get'’
involved with the campaign,
Julie can be called at 825-8055.

Connections ready...
Plug into Ethernet
by John Rossomando
Collegian Staff
After several years of planning,
the Ethernet connections have
been established. This past
Friday, the Office of
Telecommunications finished
wiring the residence halls. Ed
Mulfinger, Director of Housing
and Food Services, said, “The
wiring in the walls are hot, so
that when people get their
Ethernet Connections, they can
hook right into it.”
Installation began over two
years ago when the buildings
were initially wired. Cables were
fed into boxes above desks in
residence hall rooms. During
this time, many delays
interrupted completion of the
connections. “A lot of it comes
down to money,” said Mulfinger.
“This year we were able to fund
hooking up to the major
backbone.”
Currently there is Ethernet
capability for 44 percent of the
current enrolled student body.

-Ed Mulfinger
said, “As we build new residence
halls, we will hook them up, and
as the need arises and more
students are interested and want
it, we will add more
connections.”
Contingency plans exist for
wiring study lounges on campus
for laptop computers when
renovations are completed. Most
of the offices on campus are
hooked up to the main backbone,
but plans are still being made for
hooking up the Reed Union
Building.
