be The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Thursday, November 15, 2001 3 anniversary By HEATHER B. JONES : Post Staff LEHMAN TWP. - Celebrating 85 years of Penn State educa- tion in the Wilkes-Barre area and Wyoming Valley is the focus of year-long celebration at the Penn State Wilkes-Barre cam- pus. *Today, ‘the: Penn State Wilkes-Barre family celebrates its history, its significant events and people that have shaped us as an institution,” said Dr. Mary Hines, campus chief executive officer, during the November 7 celebration. “We celebrate our past; we record our present; we plan for our fu- ture.” : The Pennsylvania State Uni- versity opened the Engineering Extension School in 1916 at Coughlin High School with 150 students. The school offered courses in surveying, reinforced concrete, mechanics and ad- vanced mathematics. By the 1960’s Penn State out- grew its rented facilities in Wilkes-Barre. George Bierly, for- mer campus chief executive offi- cer and the Campus Advisory Board began looking for a site to build a campus. One purposed site, Bierly said, was the land where Newberry Estates stands today. “We had no place to grow and no money,” said Bierly. In 1964, Penn State received the opportunity it needed to be- gin developing a campus of its own. The gift of the former Conyngham summer estate from Mr. and Mrs. Richard Robinson not only included the land needed to build a campus but two buildings. Shawn Murphy represented Sen. Charles Lemmond at the celebration, but she also has a personal interest in the cam- pus. Her husband, John Mur- phy, director of Student Affairs at the campus, brought her to the Wyoming Valley 35 years ago when he interviewed for the With so many SHEN going Jor it, it has a very ~ bright fut Dr. Rodney Erickson _ Provost, Penn State University job at Penn State. “I cried the whole way here,” she said. “Who had ever heard of Wilkes-Barre?” At that time, Penn State rented the Guthrie Building from the Wilkes-Barre Area School District for $1 a'year. “People were saying Penn State was getting robbed,” joked Shawn Murphy. Before the young couple could get out of their car to enter the Guthrie Building, they were whisked away to the future of Penn State Wilkes- Barre. And as the Murphys drove. through the Back Mountain, down Hillside Road, Shawn's tears started to dry. Once they toured the land and Hayfield House, their minds were made up. Today the campus includes the Athletic and Recreation Building, the Science Center, the Bell Atlantic Center for Technology, the Nesbitt Li- brary and: the Friedman Ob- servatory. In 2001, the Penn State Wilkes-Barre campus in Lehman offers 880 students a growing campus and over 160 classes to choose from each semester. Choices abound for stu- dents academically. They can complete one of the campus’s six associate degree programs or one of the four baccalaure- ate programs offered at the lo- cal branch. Students can also begin their college career in one of more than 160 bac- calaureate programs that Penn State University offers. “So where does Wilkes-Barre go from here?” asked Dr. Rod- « Penn State campus celebrates 35 years -» POST PHOTOS/HEATHER B.
