2014-2015 Case For Support: Art Restoration and Dance at LHU
Art Restoration at Lock Haven University
Lock Haven University and The Lock Haven University Foundation hold an extensive art collection. These works include a significant number of works by Lock Haven native John Sloan. In order to protect, restore and display the collection the University has established a conservation statement and plan for appraisal and exhibition of its work.
Conservation Statement:
Gifts of art and art objects donated to the university are evaluated upon receipt. Condition reports are generated and action is taken as needed to conserve the work. If it is determined that steps are needed to repair or remediate the work, then this is arranged for as soon as possible, with immediate action taken to arrest any further wear or deterioration of the art object until further conservation actions can be initiated.
LHU collections contain works by a number of well-known American and European artists including John Sloan, Alexander Calder, Thomas Hart Benton, Albrecht Durer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Käthe Kollwitz, Henry Moore, Pablo Picasso, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Salvador Dali and James Abbott McNeil Whistler.
The Lock Haven University art collection is assessed by professional conservators from outside the institution. On staff, Jason Bronner, curator of the collections and visual arts faculty member, has six years background in art preparation and conservation, (prior to his time at Lock Haven), as well as degrees in Printmaking(BFA), and Painting and Drawing(MFA).

2014-2015 Case For Support: International Education
Embarking on a study abroad program – whether it's for a few weeks or an entire school year – allows students to escape their comfort zones, navigate foreign cities and experience other cultures and customs. Studying at a foreign university also gives students a chance to experience college life outside of the U.S., which can be drastically different than at their home university. They often return with more confidence in themselves; they are more adaptable and independent; and they often come back with new knowledge and ideas that further enrich their education.
Lock Haven University is committed to providing more opportunities for students who wish to but cannot afford to study abroad. Furthermore, LHU students, faculty and friends of the community can benefit from enhancing the international education lecture series which informs and enlightens its audience about other country’s culture, customs, traditions, food, education, etc…
Below are two significant areas of support for International Education:
Study Abroad Scholarship- $500-$3,000 per year
In an effort to increase the number of LHU students who study abroad each year, the University is looking for donors to aid students in scholarship monies for travel. Even though a student’s tuition remains the same while studying abroad, things like housing and meals, airfare, VISA and passport materials and spending money are an additional expense.
Scholarship support could be dispersed accordingly:
Summer Programs $500
Semester in an English-speaking country $1,000
Semester in a Non-English speaking destination in Western Europe $1,500
Eastern Europe and Latin America $1,750
Semester in non-traditional destinations (Asia and the Middle East) $2,000
A year abroad anywhere $3,000
Lecture Series- $10,000 per year
This academic forum invites scholars from around the world to present innovative and thought-provoking materials on the globalization of higher education, benefits of studying abroad and more. Donors to this area would provide funding for 2 speakers over 2 semesters which would cover travel and entertainment fees for the speaker, publicity for the event, etc…
2014-2015 Case For Support: Science at LHU
Lock Haven University opened the doors to a new opportunity with the completion of a new Science Center for the fall semester 2013.

New Science Center offers:
- More labs,
- More state of the art equipment,
- More opportunities for individual study,
- More space for student/faculty research.
“Moving into the new building is a tremendous opportunity. It’s large and provides much better space to improve the educational experience of students. More labs will allow students and staff to do so much more research. Every faculty member here has a research experience that hooked them. My undergraduate research experience was pivotal in shaping my career,” stated Dr. Jonathan Lindzey. “Now we have the opportunity to offer that experience to our students at Lock Haven University.”

At minimum the lab should include 15 computers with wide screens, furniture (inclusive of desks, chairs), a full-color LED stock tick and interactive data sources that provides students with data from global markets on a delayed basis. The addition of one to two breakout rooms for meetings and/or group projects would only enhance the lab.
Students will gain real-world experience employers seek in today’s globally competitive market, giving them the competitive edge necessary to gain and retain employment.

Participation in this program will be open to all students of Lock Haven University. As members of the Fund, students will be required to meet on a regular basis to discuss asset allocation, analyze fund performance, and learn what it takes to operate a well-diversified portfolio. The naming donor will be welcome to attend meetings as well, which will be overseen by a faculty advisor.
