Students Complete
Summer Internship
Seven College Misericordia
students have just completed
internships in the Youth
Leadership Development
Program which is sponsored by
the Economic Development
Council of Northeastern Penn-
sylvania and funded through an
Appalachian Regional Commis-
sion grant, college work-study
funds and local appropriations.
The young women were part
of a group of 44 students from
five Northeastern Pennsylvania
colleges. They worked on a
variety of economic and
community projects with the
help of a faculty advisor.
The students and their
projects are: Krystine Batcho,
McAdoo, development of an
attitudinal scale for use at the
Keystone Job Corps Center;
Patricia Finan and Margaret
McNamara, both of Pittston, an
analysis of the pros and cons of
co-education at College Miseri-
cordia; Barbara Hughes,
Dallas, and Pamela Sabol,
Trucksville, a study of juvenile
delinquency in Luzerne County
(conducted through the
Governor's Justice Commis-
sion); and Miriam Orf,
Shavertown, and Gail Williams,
Wyoming, an analysis to
determine the number of
children with specific learning
disabilities in the Back
Mountain area. Sister William
Marie and Larry Egelund of the
sociology department served as
faculty advisors.
Howard J. Grossman, EDCN-
P executive director, sum-
marized the program:
“Through the Youth Leadership
Development Program we have
involved local young people in
development efforts and related
activities not only to provide
additional manpower to local
organizations for studies,
projects and special programs,
but primarily to acquaint the
students with the work, leader-
ship skills and career op-
portunities and to link the
resources of our colleges more
closely to community
development activities. We
hope to create among these
young people a pride in North-
eastern Pennsylvania’s past, an
awareness. of its considerable
potential, an understanding of
its problems and a commitment
to stay here and help build a
‘better. future.
(‘I've been impressed with the,
‘talents - of the Northeastern
Pennsylvania youth and after
observing the work of these
Youth Leadership interns this
summer, we are convinced that
they can help tremendously in
mobilizing the talents and
resources that will make North-
eastern Pennsylvania the best
region in Pennsylvania and
perhaps nation. Our youth have
the vigor, imagination and
enthusiasm to contribute to the
development of the region.”
