With a constant eye on student success and achievement, an ad hoc working group comprised of East Stroudsburg University faculty, staff, and administrators recently met with representatives from the Gardner Institute, a North Carolina-based consulting firm focused on transformative and equitable outcomes for higher education institutions.

Jennie Smith, Ed.D., ESU dean of student life, explained that the group’s overarching goals are to “increase the number and percentage of students who progress towards earning their degree, and identify gaps in areas where we could take a look at policies, processes, and other barriers that may be getting in the way” of this progress.

Provost Margaret Ball, D.M.A., who initiated the group on behalf of President Kenneth Long, worked with Santiago Solis, Ed.D., vice president of campus life and inclusive excellence, to recommend especially student-centered and student-facing faculty and staff to serve on the committees.

MONROE COUNTY, Pa. — A home in Monroe County was ruined by fire Wednesday morning.

Fire crews responded to Midway Pines Lane in Polk Township, near Brodheadsville around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Firefighters said flames were through the roof when they arrived, and they had to work quickly to save two nearby homes.

No one was home at the time.

The National Junior Honor Society held a Canned Food Drive from November 15th to December 12. The top three homerooms that donated the most cans of food won prizes. First place was Duck Donuts, second place was five Mountie Money per student, and third place was three Mounie Money per student. Mr. Rimby’s homeroom won by a landslide of 117 cans of donated food. In total, 750 cans were raised and all of it is going to be donated to the United Methodist Church in Stroudsburg. Good job NJHS!
