Scope and Contents

From the Series: This series contains information regarding the Shenango Branch Campus of Edinboro State College. The campus was located in Farrell, Pennsylvania. In 1969-68, the enrollment was 283 students according to the Shenango Enrollment Statistics. Though, in the spring semester, it rose to 295 students. Two years later, there was a memo sent from the Director of the Shenango Campus pertaining to budget requests (1970-71) for a list of repairs and renovations for a newly acquired facility. Also, included in the series is a listing of course offerings (1972-73). There are two publications of Shenango (1975) included in the series. Shenango was a college publication which was the offspring of a course on ethnic studies. Its mission was to increase knowledge and appreciation of ethnic contributions to American society. Ultimately, the publication hoped to give readers a greater respect for life regardless of one's nationalities and races. A study was done by William M. Herrman in 1971 on the Past, Present, Future of the Shenango Valley Campus. The study focused on the evolution of the campus and concluded that the Shenango Campus was a justifiable and worthy institution. Further, Herrman recommended that a firm and specific policy should be implemented in order to properly develop as a campus. Though, with all of the campus promise, Edinboro State College closed the Shenango Campus in 1975.
