September/October - AAUW State College Branch

Advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy, and research. Volume 49, No.1 Sept./Oct. 2015
Presidents’ Log
Our new year is well underway and it
is exciting! Already AAUW State
College Branch has been a part of
the Arts Fest, the Regional AAUW
meeting, a summer cleanup of the
Used Book Sale Workshop, a look at
the political candidates in our
geography, and even as fans at a
baseball
game
where
STEM
Committee members and others got
a picture with Ike the Spike. Thanks
are due to all who planned and
participated in the events.
Branch Potluck
and Program:
Follow the Money
Thursday, Sept. 17th
5:30 p.m.
Foxdale Village
Meeting Room across from 2nd floor library
500 East Marylyn Avenue, State College—parking info below
Membership continues to be strong.
One key point for our Executive
Committee to keep in mind is how to
engage the membership in our
activities as we focus on our mission.
How would you like to be involved?
We are so pleased to start our branch program this year with a potluck and
program at Foxdale Village! Please bring a dish to share; beverages will be
provided. We encourage you to invite a friend or colleague who might
consider joining our branch to attend with you. As outlined in the Membership
Matters story on page 7, there is a special incentive to join now.
When spider webs unite, they can
tie up a lion.—Ethiopian Proverb
The program following the potluck will be a panel discussion of some of our
community grant recipients, which will be moderated by Connie Wheeler,
Philanthropic Priorities and Funds Distribution Co-Chair. This year, we
awarded $62,400 through our community grants program.
Some may want to work with our
well-established events and others
may have some new ideas.
With Centennial events beginning in
February 2016 and stretching into
the Fall, there will be lots going on.
As you read through this issue of the
newsletter, you may want to look for
something that catches your
interest. Please, let us know how you
would like to help with supporting
girls and women or learn more about
the activities.
Best regards, Alison and Billie
AAUW State College Co-Presidents
Three of the branch grant
recipients will be on hand
for the September 17th
gathering. They include Global Connections, Leadership
Centre County, and Skills of Central Pennsylvania. It promises
to be an interesting program, and you will have an opportunity
to learn the details on where some of
our hard-earned AAUW dollars go.
See you on September 17th. We hope
you invite a friend to join you!
Important: Where to Park at Foxdale
From Marylyn Avenue, pass the Community Building and residence building,
and turn left immediately after the parking deck. Go up the ramp and park on
the top level of the deck. Follow the sidewalk back to Community Building.
Inside, take the stairs or elevator up to the 2nd floor Meeting Room.

A Busy Summer
for STEM
The STEM Committee was busy this summer. The
committee hosted a table and other activities at the
annual Ladies Night at the Spikes on August 20th (below).
Ike the Spike joined AAUW STEM committee members at the August
20th Spikes Game, where AAUW STEM staffed an information table
for game-goers. Left to right: Kristin Dreyer, Julia Glover, Vasu
Varadan, Ike, Tayler Croom-Perez, and Mandy Biddle.
This summer’s MATHH program was a success. Young
people attended over three dates in July. Thanks go to
Valerie Alstadt, Candace Davison, and Michele Crowl of
Discovery Space for conducting those sessions, and to
Schlow Library for partnering with us for this program.
The State College CSI program, scheduled for late July,
was cancelled due to low enrollment. The committee will
investigate what happened, since prior years have been
well received.
Three young women attended ScienceU camps on AAUW
scholarships. Two others were given scholarships but
didn’t attend, and the committee is investigating why this
happened. Thanks go to Kristin and Patti Kenney for
leading this effort.
We enter the 2015-16 year with renewed vigor, new
committee members, and great interest. Each event or
program now has a liaison with the committee, so that
committee members have a choice of which program
they would like to work with. The committee is exploring
extending the after-school program to PhilipsburgOsceola schools. And there is more to come! If you
would like to join the committee, please contact either
Kristin Dreyer or Mary Dupuis. We welcome new
members!

Summer MATHH a Hit
A total of 51 elementary-aged students
attended our summer MATHH program
(Magical Adventures for Talented Heroines and Heroes),
a three-week summer program sponsored by AAUW
State College in partnership with Schlow Centre Region
Library and Discovery Space of Central Pennsylvania
museum. A children's book that highlighted an
interesting math or science concept was read, followed
by an interactive demonstration or activity. After 30
minutes at Schlow, campers walked to Discovery Space,
for related activities and further exploration.
Concepts studied included transparency, magnifying
light, power, clouds, measuring rain and temperature,
batteries, circuits, currents, and volts. The kids enjoyed
making the batteries out of coins, paper towels, and a
vinegar solution and testing them. The parents liked
how basic the ingredients were for further exploration at
home.

Book Workshop Re-opens
in East College Avenue Location
Hello, everyone. It is truly amazing how time just flies by....it
seems to me that we just opened the workshop to donations
and suddenly, now it is fall. Book donations have been very
heavy since we started accepting donations in June and we
are glad that the community still thinks of us when they
clean out dens, offices, etc. Used Book Workshop hours
begin on September 8th.
First, thank you to
everyone who put in
so much effort during
the summer to keep
the workshop going;
we would not be able
to take in so many
books without them.
Over 2,000 boxes of books packed this
summer, ready now for sorting into
categories and pricing. Thank you,
book donors and volunteers!
Please feel free to stop
by if you would like to
volunteer! For those
of you who haven’t
been to the Used Book
Workshop
before,
we’re located at 2100
East College Avenue,
on the right as you
head out to the mall
from downtown State
College, up above the
Caspian Spa shop.
Please mark your calendars for next May’s sale. After this
year’s sale, we realized that we needed to move the date of
the 2016 sale, to avoid Penn State graduation. The 2016 sale
will be held May 14—17th.

The pace of planning is picking up for the 2016 AAUW
State College Centennial, and the Centennial
Committee is hard at work on several fronts, with
marketing activities understandably taking the lead.
MARKETING – Jen Karch





Jen Karch has prepared a press packet to spread
the word about Centennial programs and more,
and she is researching advertising options.
New member Kate Hoffman has already started
promoting Centennial activities in social media.
Sue Hiester has signed on to help with installation
of several AAUW State College Archives Roadshow
locations throughout next year, where we’ll have
an opportunity to tell our centennial story to the
public in assorted venues throughout the county.
The draft of our written branch history, written by
Jackie Esposito and available to members next
year, is completed and is now undergoing the
editing process.
Our AAUW State College Centennial website will
go live this October. It may be accessed via a
button on our AAUW State College website
(www.aauwstatecollege.org), or directly via
www.aauwsc100 years.com.
PROGRAM — Jen Karch and Connie Schroeder
Our first Centennial program, the AAUW State College
Archives Roadshow: First Stop, will take place on
Sunday, February 14, 2016, at 3:00 p.m. at Schlow
Centre Region Library.
This program will provide an opportunity to look
through 100 years of branch archives, including some
wonderful original notes and letters from our earliest
years, photos, newspaper clippings, and unique items
that are all part of our branch history. Other
Centennial programs will be described in coming
newsletters.

For both local and state elections, candidates are listed in
the order they will appear on your ballot. That is because
order is determined by political party of the governor, then
order of finish in the primary.
Local Candidates for Election
This year, we elect County Commissioners and all the
row offices responsible to them. We have some
interesting races among these offices. We will give
you information on offices which are contested.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS:
Four candidates are listed, two from each party. Voters
can vote for three.
Democrats:
Michael Pipe, incumbent. Mike has been the youngest
commissioner in the state and has this has been a
fulltime job for him. He was elected in 2011. Check him
out on his website: mikepipe.com or on Facebook at
VotePipe.
Mark Higgins, a local businessman. His website is
friendsofmarkhiggins.com
or
on
Facebook,
higginsforcommissioner.
Republicans:
Steve Dershem, incumbent chair of the commission and
former businessman. Find him at dershem.com.
Chris Exarchos, incumbent. Elected in 2011, and also
served 2003-07. Website voteforchris.com.
SHERIFF:
This is an open seat because the current sheriff is
retiring.
Matthew A. Rickard (D) has served 18 years in law
enforcement. Website: rickard4sheriff.com, or on
Facebook at rickardforsheriff.
Bryan Sampsell (R) has been Deputy Sheriff of Centre
County since 2003.
REGISTER OF WILLS:

RECORDER OF DEEDS:
Georgiann Bennett (D) - find her on Facebook at
georgiforrecorder.
Joe Davidson - Incumbent since 1999. His website is
thosewhoknowvoteforjoe.com.
Statewide Election for Judges
The Koch Brothers are planning to spend $25 million dollars
to influence these elections. That alone is evidence that the
outcome of these races should matter to average persons.
From voter ID laws through gerrymandering, these courts
rule on our basic rights. Every initiative proposed by Gov.
Wolf is likely to end up in the courts. Although judges are not
supposed to be political, each one carries his/her own values
and experiences with them.
Please think carefully about who you want ruling on your
interests and AAUW’s Public Policy priorities. See page 5 for
a complete listing of Statewide Judge Races.
(LOCAL RACES, cont.)
No other races are contested at the county level. At the local
level, very few races are contested. For example, the State
College Area School Board races for four positions were settled
in the primary, so none are contested this fall.
STATE COLLEGE BOROUGH COUNCIL:
One contested local race is for State College Borough Council.
Four seats are available. Four Democrats and one Republican
are running.
Democrats:
Cathy Dauler, incumbent. Her website is cathydauler.com.
David J. Brown. Contact him at [email protected].
Jesse L. Barlow.
Professor of Computer Science and
Engineering. Contact him on Facebook at barlow4borough
council.
Janet Engeman. Attends council meetings; endorsed by Sierra
Club.
Republican:
Ron Madrid. He ran for mayor in 2013. Contact him on
Facebook at ron.madrid.
Above all, remember to vote and tell your friends to vote, too.
This is a crucial election for many issues we care about,
including funding for social services.

AAUW National Convention Report
Billie Willits and I attended the AAUW National Convention, held June
18-21, in San Diego, CA, on behalf of the branch and provide these
updates.
First, we learned that there are now 180,000 AAUW
members and supporters, equally divided, 1,000 branches, 897
College/University partners, and that 247 graduate fellowships have
been awarded, worth $3.7 million.

AAUW Penn State
Students Gear up
for School Year
Patricia Fae Ho was reelected national chair and Dot McLane, AAUWPA president, was elected to the board. Twelve percent of the
membership voted. All public policy proposals and four of five bylaws
changes were approved. The bylaws change to remove the current
degree requirements for membership eligibility was voted down
again but the margin is narrowing.
Because the money forwarded to national from branches has fallen,
the national board undertook a Charting the Course campaign to
raise $1 million this year. Half of the goal has been raised. The next
research publication will be Women in Leadership.
AAUW Penn State participated in Penn State
Women’s Empowerment Week last spring and
looks forward to participating again this fall.
To increase both the number of younger members and their diversity,
several initiatives are underway. AAUW national asked the Younger
Woman’s Task Force (YWTF), a nationwide, diverse, and inclusive
movement by and for younger women to fight for social justice to join
it. These women, who range in age from 20 to 40, are comparable to
AAUW branch members. Program ideas of current relevance, which
could appeal to potential members, were shared. Branches were
urged to have a presence on the Web, Facebook, and Twitter in order
to appear to a younger and more diverse demographic. By increasing
the number of C/U partners, AAUW aims to increase AAUW’s visibility
among campus women.
This fall, AAUW Penn State is planning a few
different projects. First, we will hold a voter
registration early in the fall semester. In
October, we will participate in the Women's
Empowerment Fair, $tart $mart Workshops
and other events. Next March, we plan to
participate with the branch and with
members of the Penn State Women’s Studies
Department in a panel discussion on
women’s empowerment.
—Jordan Glover, President, AAUW Penn State
AAUW continues to position itself as an advocate for women’s
economic wellbeing through its purchase of the Start Smart and Work
Smart programs and its STEM initiatives. Start Smart’s focus is to
teach salary negotiation skills to college-aged women while Work
Smart’s focus is teaching them to working women. National AAUW is
funding more Tech Trek and Tech Savvy programs across the country
in order to encourage more middle and high school girls to pursue
higher paying STEM careers.
¡Adelante! Book Club
Finally, given the legislative gridlock in Washington, D.C., Lisa Maatz,
AAUW’s top policy advisor and lobbyist, hired a state policy analyst to
focus on state and local policy development. The goal is to support
state-based legislation on equal pay, campus sexual assault, and
human trafficking. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania received a
State Impact Grant to address sexual assault.
