This spring, 10 Penn State Schuylkill students had 11 projects accepted to the Eastern Communication Association's James C. McCroskey and Virginia P. Richmond Undergraduate Scholars Conference (ECA-USC). This is the campus’s second largest cohort of students to have work accepted to the conference, and the group traveled to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in April to present their work. This year, Valerie Schrader, associate professor of communication arts and sciences at Penn State Schuylkill, was also named an ECA Distinguished Teaching Fellow — a prestigious award limited to only one percent of the association’s membership.

She was highly engaged in the tour and spoke personally to students that we passed on campus,” said Forbes, a senior majoring in human development and family studies.
