Cal U Names Community Champions al U is pleased to announce that three individuals have been selected to receive the inaugural Cal U Community Champions Award. Wildlife educator Joseph Stefko, Civil War Roundtable organizer Walter Klorczyk and residence life professional Justin Schiefelbein will be honored today at a luncheon in the Kara Alumni House. The Cal U Community Champions Award honors men and women who have made significant contributions of time and talent to California University and its students. The campus community nominates potential award winners, who are not Cal U students or University employees. Instead, they are community members who have made valuable contributions in areas such as academic enrichment, research, internship opportunities, mentoring or career development. “In various ways, these Community Champions are connecting our students with valuable learning opportunities,” says Craig Butzine, vice president for University Relations. “This award is the University’s way of saying ‘thank-you.’” The 2014 recipients of the Cal U Community Champions Award are: • Joseph Stefko recently retired wildlife conservation officer at the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Stefko worked to create an internship program for Cal U students, and he has mentored and trained students in Cal U’s fisheries and wildlife biology program. — Continued on page 2

High school students put their custom-built robots to the test at the Greater Pittsburgh Regional FIRST® Robotics Competition inside the Convocation Center.
FIRST Robots Rock the Convocation Center imply put, the Greater Pittsburgh Regional FIRST® Robotics Competition rocked the Cal U Convocation Center from March 27-29. More than 1,100 high school students from as far away as Florida and Ontario and as nearby as Canonsburg and McKeesport, Pa., put their custom-built robots to the test in a competition that was equal parts science class, high-energy sporting event and dance party. Backstage in the “pits,” students in safety glasses fine-tuned the 120-pound
S
robots they’d constructed in just six weeks from a standard “kit of parts” provided by FIRST, plus a variety of customized additions and adaptations. Each robot was meticulously weighed, measured and inspected before it entered the arena to play Aerial Assist, this year’s FIRST Robotics challenge. On the 25’ x 54’ playing field, straddled by a truss suspended about 5 feet above the floor, two “alliances” of three robots each faced off to move 2-foot-diameter balls across the court,
over the truss, and into the high and low goals. Cooperative play earned bonus points, and after a brief “autonomous” period when the robots moved on their own, student drivers grabbed the controls. Steering the robots across the court, they rolled, passed, tossed and occasionally caught the ball during two-minute rounds of fast-paced play. Hundreds of fans cheered them on from the stands, chanting and dancing in the aisles between matches. Team — Continued on page 3

Fishing Festival Set for April 19 al U and the California community again will collaborate to present the 19th annual Pike Run Youth Fishing Festival, set for 8 a.m.-3 p.m. April 19 at Rotary Park, off Route 88 (Third Street) in California. The free event is open to boys and girls 15 and younger. An adult must accompany children younger than 13. Participants may bring their own fishing gear, or they can borrow equipment from a Cal U student volunteer as part of the state Fish and Boat Commission’s Borrow-A-Rodand-Reel program. Expert fishing guides will be on hand to answer questions or help young anglers learn how to catch trout. The Pike Run Fishing Festival Committee will stock the stream with nearly 600 rainbow, brook, brown and golden trout, some as long as 24
C
inches. As it has done in the past, the committee will provide entertainment and food for the event. Registration begins at 7 a.m. Along with excellent fishing, participants can look forward to family-friendly games, raffles, fishing contests and many other activities. Vendors will sell bait, tackle, food and beverages at the park. The festival closes with a weigh-in, prizes and the awarding of trophies. Youngsters are encouraged to help stock the stream at 2 p.m. April 18. Dr. John Confer, faculty adviser for the event, said this successful collaboration between the University and the community has attracted 160 to 200 youth participants in each of the past seven years. “This is our largest communitycampus recreation event,” he said. “Everyone involved learns about environmental stewardship, and it’s an
excellent community experience for our students.” Held annually in April — National Children and Nature Awareness Month — the festival also celebrates Earth Day. It is co-sponsored by the Student Government Association, Cal U’s Department of Earth Sciences and its Parks and Recreation Management program, and the Cal U Eco-Learning Community, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, California Rotary, the Borough of California and the California Borough Recreation Authority.

Take Note: Jazz Ensemble to Compete in Reno he Cal U Jazz Ensemble is tuning up to compete this week at the 52nd annual Reno Jazz Festival. Held at the University of Nevada, Reno, the festival from Thursday-Saturday promises three days of inspiration, education and high-caliber musical competition. Director of bands Dr. Charles “Marty” Sharer has been talking up the festival since he arrived at Cal U in 2009. “I’ve said, ‘One day we are going to get our students on a plane and compete.’ Well that day has finally come.” The 27-student Jazz Ensemble will join hundreds of bands, ensembles and vocal groups at the festival. The ensemble will compete Saturday in the Four-Year College Band category in the festival’s All-Star Performers competition, playing a 30-minute set for a panel of judges. The winners of each category will perform later that night at the Festival Showcase and Awards Ceremony, held in the nearly 12,000-seat Lawlor Events Center. “First and foremost we are going out there to compete,” said Sharer. “The ultimate goal is to win your category, and then get the chance to perform in front of thousands.” Aside from the competition, the Cal U musicians will attend master classes and clinics in instrumental and vocal performance, jazz arranging and
T
improvisation. They will make a point of watching other college bands and attending performances by jazz celebrities such as trumpeter Avishai Cohen with The Collective, and the contemporary group Kneebody. “This is monumental opportunity for us to shine and perform before thousands. I’m quite honored to represent our University at the Reno Jazz Festival,” said junior Shane Urbine, a business administration major who plays trombone in the ensemble. “I never thought I would be challenged to this extent … but Dr. Sharer has been a great motivator and has set the bar very high for us.” Sophomore Nathan Fix, who plays saxophone in the ensemble, said the students truly appreciate this opportunity. “It will be a huge highlight for us that not many other students will ever come close to having,” said Fix, a psychology major with a minor in music. “It means a lot that Dr. Sharer worked so hard for us to on this trip. We are all very excited and doing our best to prepare.” The ensemble is preparing a number of pieces, including “Take the ‘A’ Train,” a classic by Pittsburgh’s Billy Strayhorn. The group will use the arrangement by Doc Severinson, bandleader for the NBC Orchestra on “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.” “It’s a fun way for us to connect Pittsburgh and the West Coast,” Sharer said.
Mia Zazac, a commercial music technology major, sings with Cal U’s Jazz Ensemble during Black History Month. The ensemble will compete at the 52nd annual Reno Jazz Festival on Saturday.
Ensemble members have seen the judges’ sheets and reviewed band performances at past festivals. They are holding extra rehearsals in Gallagher Hall, and Sharer is bringing in guest artists to work with the group. “As great an experience as this is, what’s even greater is the preparation we are going through to get there,” Sharer said. “Our students are going to learn and perform this music so well, better than any music they’ve done before.
“This is going to give them a drive to prepare all their music throughout the rest of their lives at this high level. It can be a life-changing experience — and I can’t wait to see how well they do. “This is something we can maybe do every five or 10 years, but it’s something our students will remember the rest of their lives.” Cal U musicians have a full schedule of performances during the spring semester.

FIRST Robots Rock the Convocation Center — Continued from page 1 members and fans came in costume — everything from “titanium” silver pants to fuzzy cow-head hats. Costumed mascots roamed the building: Bright red cardinals offered “free hugs,” 6-foot lemons passed out sweet treats, and a Spartan in shiny silver regalia knelt to salute interim President Geraldine M. Jones as she chatted with students in the pits. After two days and 88 rounds of competition, an alliance of teams from Pittsburgh, Johnstown and Leonardtown, Md., came out on top. They will join winners from 65 other regional contests at the FIRST Robotics national championship April 23-26 in St. Louis, Mo. Dale Hammonds, Pennsylvania’s assistant Secretary of Education, doffed his suit jacket at the opening ceremony and joined the event’s corps of volunteers. “Employers want people who can problem-solve, work as a team, know the basics of math and understand technology,” he said. “For that you just need to go find people who have been in FIRST, because those people have the skills to go forward in this next century.” The AMP’D Robotics team from McKeesport Area High School, for example, dealt with harsh winter weather that reduced their six-week build time to just four weeks. “We pushed through and got it done,” said senior David Grudowski, the team’s mechanical lead. “It’s been a blast since the kickoff, and the relationships we’ve built in our robotics club this year have been wonderful.” Michael Amrhein, director of Cal U’s Office of Outreach and Integration for TEAMS (Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math and Science), noted the wide variety of skills involved in FIRST. In

addition to the robot competition, students present business plans, market their teams and are interviewed by the judges. In all, nearly two dozen awards were presented, including honors for industrial design, entrepreneurship, team spirit and “gracious professionalism,” a hallmark of the program. “This is not just robotics going on here,” Amrhein said. “It’s business planning, marketing and presentations. It’s a very holistic approach to the education process and in engaging kids in real-time, hands-on learning experiences.” One highlight of the event was a surprise appearance by inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen, founder of FIRST. He holds more than 440 U.S. and foreign patents — and he was greeted like a rock star when he stepped
onto the arena floor. Before signing dozens of autographs and taking countless “selfies” with competitors, Kamen explained his enthusiasm for FIRST. “You have teenagers thinking they’re going to make millions as professional athletes when that’s not realistic for even 1 percent of them. Becoming a scientist or engineer is. This is one contest where every single competitor has the opportunity to turn pro.” High school senior Jaire McNichols and Team LIFE from Terra Environmental Research Institute in Miami, Fla., drove 25 straight hours before setting up in the Convocation Center. “I am really seeing and learning the business side of (FIRST) this year,” said McNichols, the club’s vice president. “I like how there’s a different competition
each year. This is really fun.” First-year competitor Florence Porter, a sophomore at Fairview High School in Erie County, handled the team’s writing for award nominations and scouted other robots in the pits. “There’s always a job for someone to do, and there’s a lot of camaraderie and community involvement, which is nice,” she said. “It’s exciting, but also a little scary to look at the other robots.” Dr. Jennifer Wilburn, an associate professor in Cal U’s Department of Applied Engineering and Technology, joined the panel of industry professionals who served as judges. And a number of Cal U alumni were among the teams’ mentors, including Raymond A. Setaro ’04, a STEM applications teacher at Chambersburg Career Magnet School (CMS). One of his former students, Cal U senior Matt Thoreson, was on the panel of judges, Setaro said, and new CMS hire Dan Neiss ’13 is a team mentor. Setaro said he models his lessons at the magnet school on Cal U’s robotics engineering technology program. “If I’m doing a good job, and others tell me I am, I sincerely thank Cal U for that,” he said. “I got so much out of my experience here, and I am always encouraging my students to check Cal U out.” The McKeesport team’s longtime mentor, Jason Mols, is a senior at Cal U. He joined the team as a high school student, in 2005, and has helped out ever since. Last year the team advanced to the national finals. “On the bus ride home last year it became less about winning than about watching these guys learn something, and that’s why I am still doing it,” he said. “Like everyone, I want to win, but seeing these students learn means everything to me.”
