Each Penn State campus, according to Arlene Martin, the Delaware County Campus Liason Committee's Recording Secretary, has their own liason committee. All of these committees then then meet at University Park with the Planning Committee. The campus committees are made up of one faculty member, one staff member, and one student member.

At the Delco campus, the Women's Commission is currently investigating the idea of making available child care facilities for the Penn State Delco community. In the past, the Penn State Delco Women’s Commission has had bake sales, the profits being donated to Domestic Abuse in Media and the Cultures of Africa, according to Diane Shorter, the PSU Delco’'s Women’s Commission’s Chairperson. As for Women’s Commission achievements throughout all the Penn State campuses, they include helping to support the establishment of an undergraduate minor in Women’s Studies; the establishment of the Center for Women’s Students in 1985; and the Center for Adult Learner Services, which opened in 1983 at University Park. The Women’s Commission is a valuable part of the Penn State community, helping women at Penn State campuses - no matter if they are staff, faculty or students - to address common problem and concerns. The Women’s Commission Luncheon promises to be an interesting forum for the three components of this campus to converge for an informal discussion and lunch. If anyone is interested in presenting a group concern at the next Women’s Commission meeting, see Mrs. Shorter for information. Bring Your Popcorn Multimedia Classrooms Are The Wave Of The Future By Kaspar Stromme The buzzword of the nineties is multimedia. The integration of audio and video to present information is becoming popular in learning institutions. For students, learning has never been more fun. But what is Penn State doing to stay on the cutting edge of this new trend. in teaching? Over the last year, a multimedia package Penn State calls Technology Classrooms has been in the making. This package is now being implemented on select campuses in the commonwealth, among them, Delaware County. Backed by a sum of money allocated to this campus, purchase orders are being placed. Once the equipment arrives, it will be placed in room 206 Main. This room will then be available this fall for use by several instructors. With this equipment, instructors will be able to run complex presentations incorporating computer displays, video, and audio. Using software packages, they can develop their own presentations ahead of time, and then simply run them during class. Video clips, accompanied by text displays and diagrams, will replace the static overhead projector. "As faculty and students begin experimenting with the computer and related media packages, the learning experience is sure to be enhanced" says A/V Director Mary Matus, " The multimedia package promises to provide a stimulating alternative to traditional lectures". The classes that are expected to take advantage of the new room include several of the Earth and Mineral Science courses taught by Dr. John Ousey. In addition, certain courses in the College of Business, and some Liberal Arts classes are also going to be using it.
