Need Counseling for Courses?
See Robert Purdy for Advice
By Javonne Broady
Are you a provisional student or
perhaps you're in the Division of
Undergraduate Studies program. Do
~ you have a question about your degree
requirements which has stumped your
advisor? Who can you 80 to? Try Mr.
Robert Purdy located in room 106 of
the Main Building.
Born'in 1942, Mr. Purdy is a man
of his time. He was raised in Delaware
County, and graduated from Ridley
High School in 1960. He spent his
college years at Penn State, University
Park. He originally majored in
engineering, as fate would have it,
engineering was not his calling.
He spent his first year talking to
other students, asking them questions,
and discovered he enjoyed doing this.
At this point he decided to become an
academic advisor. He later attended
Graduate school at the University of
Illinois. :
When asked why he chose
Illinois, Mr. Purdy responded, “I went
to a high school with a pretty decent
football team, and then I wanted to go
to one with a good basketball team.
And speaking of a good basketball
team, everyone should come out to
Delco’s games.”
Luckily for us, Mr. Purdy came
back to PSU and has now been here
for twenty-four years, ten of them at
PSU Delco.
Around October 1, 1994, Mr.
Purdy will be relocating to the second
floor of the Commons Building. When
asked if he minded, his response was,
“if the students can find me, I'll like it,
but they're going to have to look for
me!”

Delco Offers Gateway Courses
For Physical Therapy Majors
By Phillip Hoertz
Penn State Delaware County
Campus can be a gateway academic
experience for physical therapy majors
at both Jefferson or Hahnemann
Universities. Currently, Penn State
University does not offer physical
therapy as a major, but has courses
available that fulfill prerequisites for
Jefferson or Hahnemann.
Dr. Jane Cooper, Biology
Pry Say “The field is very
€ 7 FF ¢
students.” If a student would like to
be considered at either university, the
student must maintain a 3.5 GPA as a
minimum. While attending Delco, a
student must take 400 level science
courses and have 90 credits to be
considered for Hahnemann University.
~~ “There is a lot of interest in
physical therapy and Penn State Delco
does offer courses to move onto either
university and pursue a degree in the
field.” Anyone interested in this
program should contact Dr. % Cooper ¢ at
892-1459.
