Meck, district admini- strator for Penn State's adult ed- ucation activities in a three-county area of Northeastern Pennsylvania, has been named assistant director for continuing education at the University’s Wilkes-Barre Campus, Hayfield House. In making the announcement, George W. Bierly, ‘director of the Campus, said the appointment be- comes effective July 1. With the rapid growth of the continuing education programs across the State, and with University : placing increasing emphasis on this area of its re- sponsibilities, a closer integration of such activities with the Univers- ity’s Commonwealth Campuses, such as the Wilkes-Barre facility, has become essential, according to Floyd B. Fischer, director of Continuing Education for Penn State. “This change in administrative arrangements will help assure maxi- mum utilization of the Campus facilities and staff to serve the ed- |! ucational needs of area adults while still providing the organizational framework for a coordinated State- wide service of continuing educa- tion,” Mr. Fischer said. Mr. Bierly explained that Mr. Meck will be in charge of continuing education activities in the entire area served by the Campus, which includes portions of Luzerne, Wyo- ming, and Carbon Counties. During 1966-67, a total of 182 stu- dent enrollments in credit courses were recorded in this area by Penn State’s continuing education pro- gram; 404 enrollments in unit (technical) courses; and 679 enroll- in conferences, workshops, and special interest courses.

J., before being named district | administrator at Penn State's Mc- ‘EREN | Keesport Campus in 1961. He was transferred to Wilkes-Barre in 1965.
