UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP

University President
Dr. Julie E. Wollman became the 17th President of Edinboro University in June 2012, bringing to Edinboro a successful
background in teaching, research and administration.
The first woman to be named president of Edinboro University, she came to Edinboro from Wheelock College in Boston,
Massachusetts, where she served as Vice President for Academic Affairs. Prior to that position, she served as Vice President for
Academic Affairs at Worcester State University, and Dean of Education and Human Development at Rhode Island College,
where she also had been a full professor and co-directed the doctoral program.
A graduate of Harvard University, she earned a master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a doctor of philosophy
from New York University. In addition, she earned a certificate from the Institute for Educational Management at Harvard
University.
Immediately upon becoming President of Edinboro University, Dr. Wollman initiated a University-wide planning process that
produced updated Mission, Values and Vision statements and new long-range goals for the University, all centered on a
renewed commitment to uncompromising excellence and student success. Under her leadership, progress has been made
toward achieving many of those goals, including the launch in 2014 of Porreco College to answer the region’s pressing need for
improved workforce readiness and educational attainment.
President Wollman is also active in the community, serving on the Erie Regional Chamber and Growth Partnership Board of
Directors, the Hamot Health Foundation Board of Corporators, the United Way of Erie County Board of Directors and the United
Way’s Volunteer Engagement Cabinet, which she chairs. In November 2014 she was named to Pennsylvania Governor Tom
Wolf’s Transition Steering Committee.
Additionally, she is a member of the American Association of University Administrators Board of Directors and the American
Association of State Colleges and Universities Committee on Policies and Purposes and actively seeks to influence policy to
advance opportunities for all who wish to access higher education.
Dr. Wollman was named a Women Making History 2015 honoree by the Mercy Center for Women, and Girl Scouts Western
Pennsylvania honored her in 2014 as the organization’s Woman of Distinction in its Erie Awards of Distinction program. Her
teaching and research awards include the Alan C. Purves Award for research from the National Council of Teachers of English
and the Mary Tucker Thorp Award for Distinguished Scholarship at Rhode Island College.
President Wollman is married to Dr. Dan L. King, Executive Director of the American Association of University Administrators, a
national professional organization. She has two daughters.


EDINBORO UNIVERSITY POLICIES

Equal Opportunity/Nondiscrimination Policies

Sexual Harassment and Related Unprofessional Conduct

Student Code of Conduct and Judicial Procedures

University Policies

Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments
POLICY
All students are expected to abide by University policy and the laws and regulations of the Borough of Edinboro, the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States of America. Policies regarding alcohol and other drugs are clearly stated
in the Student Code of Conduct and Judicial Procedures, which prohibits the unauthorized use, consumption, possession, sale,
distribution or abuse of alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, controlled substances or drug paraphernalia, as well as "acts against
public order and decency including, but not limited to, ...intoxication resulting from the use of alcohol and controlled
substances..."
Students who violate the law may incur penalties from civil authorities. Violation of a University regulation will result in
sanctions through the Office of Student Judicial Affairs. These can include mandatory alcohol/drug education or evaluation and
other sanctions ranging from disciplinary probation to suspension or expulsion and referral for prosecution. A summary of the
laws and penalties related to alcohol and other drug offenses is included below. The Student Code of Conduct and Judicial
Procedures is available on the University's website under "Student Judicial Affairs."
HEALTH RISKS
Students who have questions regarding the health risks associated with alcohol and other drug use and abuse should contact
Student Health Services at Ghering Health and Wellness Center. The following is a brief description of the health risks
associated with several drugs.
1. Alcohol - In high doses it causes major impairment of all mental and physical functions, including perception, judgment,
motor skills, coordination, balance, sight and hearing acuity, memory, speech, emotional control and sexual function. Ability to
evaluate or respond to a sexual situation is compromised. "Play" can become violent. There is risk of accidental injury to self or
others and there can be significant loss of control over behavior. There may be nausea and vomiting, and choking can occur. At
very high doses the person can lose consciousness, stop breathing and die. Long-term heavy use can cause significant body
damage, especially to the brain and liver. Women who use alcohol during pregnancy can have babies with significant birth
defects.
2. Tobacco - The nicotine in tobacco is extremely addictive and can cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol and circulatory
diseases. Cigarette smoke causes emphysema, higher rates of bronchitis, and cancer of the lungs, throat, tongue, cheeks,
esophagus, stomach, sinuses, bladder, kidneys and pancreas. Chewing tobacco and smoking a pipe or cigars contribute to
cancers of the mouth and throat and can make a person more susceptible to communicable diseases such as Mono and
Meningitis.
2015-2016 Student Handbook
3. Marijuana - Marijuana smoke contains more cancer-causing agents than tobacco smoke. Short-term effects of
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive ingredient of marijuana, are distortion of time, interference with
perception and motor skills, and impairment of short-term memory and logical thinking. Heavy use interferes with brain cell
function and can cause problems with apathy, loss of energy, confusion and memory. The newer, stronger strains of marijuana
can be physically addicting.
4. Mushrooms - Several plant materials, including mescaline and psylocybin, have LSD-like effects and are known as mushrooms
or "shrooms." They can cause dizziness, light-headedness, abdominal discomfort, numbness in the mouth, nausea, vomiting,
shivering, facial flushing, sweating, fatigue, headaches and serious depression of the cardiac and respiratory systems.
5. Cocaine and Crack - Users may have a stuffy or runny nose, nosebleeds and erosion or perforation of the nasal septum.
Cocaine can cause blurred or double vision, kidney damage, seizures and heart attacks, which can be fatal. During withdrawal
or a "crash," fatigue, irritability, paranoia and severe depression can occur. Cocaine is addicting, and crack users can become
addicted after their first use.
6. Club Drugs - (Ecstasy, Rohypnol, GHB, Ketamine, LSD, PCP, PMA) A wide variety of drugs often used at all-night dance
parties (raves), nightclubs and concerts. Club drugs can damage the brain's neurons and affect memory, judgment,
coordination, muscle control, causing amnesia, unconsciousness or increased heart rate and blood pressure. Because club drugs
are illegal and often produced in makeshift labs, it is impossible to know exactly what chemicals were used to make them and
how strong or dangerous a particular batch might be. High doses can cause severe breathing problems, coma or even death.





Ecstasy (MDMA, ADAM, XTC, E, X, love drug, hug drug) causes a jittery feeling, teeth-gnashing, sweating, blurred
vision and an increase in pulse and blood pressure. It can cause seizures, cardiac irregularities, psychotic reactions
and Parkinson's Disease-like symptoms, which may not appear immediately and are not reversible.
Date Rape Drugs (Rohypnol [Roofies R-2,] GHB [Grievous Bodily Harm, Georgia Home Boy,] ketamine, [K, Special
K, Kit Kat,] and others) produce loss of inhibition, consciousness and memory. If mixed with alcohol, they can
cause respiratory depression, coma and death. Signs include dizziness, confusion, nausea, impaired judgment or
motor coordination, or the appearance of extreme intoxication after consuming a non-alcohol drink or only a
small amount of alcohol.
LSD (acid) may cause merging and intensification of sights and sounds, hallucinations and inability to differentiate
the boundaries of oneself from the environment. These effects can produce feelings of paranoia, extreme
anxiety, panic and psychotic reactions, which are not always reversible. Flashbacks - spontaneous recurrences of
the LSD experience without recent ingestion of the drug - can also occur.
PCP (angel dust) acts as a combination anesthetic, stimulant, depressant and hallucinogen all at once. It is
dangerous, and high doses can cause muscular rigidity, convulsions and coma, which can last for days. It can also
be fatal.
PMA (Death, Mitsubishi Double-Stack) may be mistaken for Ecstasy, and low doses produce the same effects.
High doses are potentially lethal, especially if taken with alcohol or other drugs.
7. Heroin - Users become easily addicted, requiring large amounts of the drug to avoid severe withdrawal symptoms. Signs of
overdose are pinpoint pupils, flushing, itching of the skin, euphoria followed by drowsiness and coma, slow and shallow
breathing, and decreased temperature, pulse and blood pressure. This is a medical emergency and if not treated immediately,
it is almost always fatal.
8. Methamphetamine (meth, ice, speed, crystal, glass, chalk) - Made in illegal labs, meth has high potential for abuse and
dependence. Respiratory problems, insomnia, confusion, aggressiveness, anxiety, paranoia, tremors and extreme anorexia can
occur. Increased blood pressure and heart rate can cause strokes and cardiovascular collapse. Fever and convulsions can result
in death. High doses damage brain cells and, over time, can result in Parkinson's-like symptoms which are not reversible.
9. Amphetamines (uppers, speed) - Can cause rapid or irregular heartbeat, tremors, loss of coordination and death from heart
failure or stroke. Heavy users are prone to irrational acts.
2015-2016 Student Handbook
10. Prescription and Over-the Counter (OTC) Drugs - Misuse of prescription and OTC drugs can lead to dependence, addiction,
overdose, loss of coordination, anxiety, hallucinations, severe depression, drowsiness, light-headedness, breathing problems,
sleeplessness, excitability, coma or death. This is especially true of prescription stimulants, pain medications, tranquilizers and
seizure medications.


Oxycodone (oxy, oc killer) - Is a prescription medication is similar to codeine, but has a higher dependence
potential and contains a much higher concentration of the drug that, like heroin, is derived from opium. When
used properly, it is an effective pain killer. Side effects can include death, confusion, altered mental status,
nausea, vomiting, headache, or respiratory depression.
Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic acid ,ASA) - Is an OTC pain medication that when used as directed reduces pain,
inflammation, and fever. Aspirin is also used under medical supervision to treat and/or prevent heart attacks,
transient ischemic attacks (TIAs or "mini-strokes"), strokes, and angina in certain individuals. If abused, aspirin can
be extremely harmful. Excess aspirin will attack the lining of the stomach and may cause perforation to occur and
lead to complications such as stomach ulcers, peritonitis or even death. Often overdoses are not fatal. However,
they may cripple or incapacitate the subject for life. Symptoms of an aspirin overdose include ringing in the ears,
headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, coma, seizures, rapid breathing, and fever. If
taking aspirin, avoid alcohol or use it in moderation while taking aspirin. If you drink more than three alcoholic
beverages a day, the risk of stomach bleeding may increase.

COMMUNITY
Located 15 miles south of the City of Erie and almost equal distance between (and with easy
Interstate highway access to) the major cultural and metropolitan areas of Cleveland,
Pittsburgh and Buffalo, the Borough of Edinboro was founded in the late 1790s by Scottish
pioneers who traveled across the mountains from Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, by wagon
and horseback to settle in the heavily forested and lush farmlands of northwestern
Pennsylvania. They named their new town after their beloved Edinburgh, Scotland.
