A multimillion-dollar renovation of Munhall’s William W.

Campbell Educational and Community Foundation is paying for the entire project.

He said core drilling is finished, and he projected that the project will be completed in six to seven months, depending on weather.

Steel Valley School District, which uses the field for sporting events, has an agreement with Whitaker officials to use and maintain Whitaker Ball Field through October while work is being done at the Munhall site.

Steel Valley alumnus William V.

Campbell visited the Steel Valley area and West Field last week.

Ducar said weather prevented Campbell from taking a thorough tour of West Field.

The park is named after Knight, the former Munhall mayor who served the borough for more than 30 years before his death in 1987.

West Field was the home of the Homestead Grays of the Negro League in the late 1930s and early ’40s.

Project plans were revealed at a Munhall council workshop meeting in February.

Borough officials, planning commission members and Steel Valley School District officials observed the presentation.

Renovations include establishing a baseball field consistent with high school and collegiate standards, a Little League ball field, and a soccer/football field.

As for parking, 186 spaces were outlined around the park and 73 more off Orchard Street.

Ducar said the only project adjustments from the original plans are the addition of a retaining wall on the site, and moving some bathrooms near the concession stands.

Foundation adds managing grantmaking service to help other trusts

Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland is extending its services by offering a management service for other grantmaking trusts.

For example, it is providing a management and assessment service for Cattanach Trust to cover the trust manager’s maternity leave period.

The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and the Dominion Foundation last week awarded $30,000 to watershed groups in 15 counties in the Commonwealth (including Armstrong) as part of their Watershed Mini Grant Program.

Awardees included the Crooked Creek Watershed Association of Ford City which received $500 to support the production and distribution of its biannual newsletter.

The organization received its award at the 11th annual Watershed Mini Grant Awards Ceremony Workshop and Luncheon April 8 at Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort and Conference Center in Blairsville (Indiana County).

The grant program provides assistance to the region’s grassroots watershed groups. The awards cover program expenses in three areas: operating costs, watershed restoration and organizational promotion and outreach.

This year’s grants included one showcase project awarded to Tubmill Trout Club Unlimited in Westmoreland County for which a $5,000 grant was awarded for a larger restoration project that focuses on stream corridor and water quality improvement technologies.

Other regional grants were awarded to three groups in Westmoreland County – the Jacobs Creek Watershed Association in Westmoreland County for their educational brochures project, the Monastery Run Improvement Project with monitoring equipment and Westmoreland Cleanways for the Fugitive Tire Round-Up Program two groups in Indiana County the Blacklick Creek Watershed Association to further organizational outreach and promotion and the Evergreen Conservancy for marketing and project implementation and the Connoquenessing Watershed Alliance in Butler for the Thorn Creek Habitat Improvement Project Phase 5

Financial support for this project is provided by the Dominion Foundation, which is dedicated to the economic, physical and social health of the communities served by Dominion companies.

Supporting Low-Income, High Achieving Students with Interest in STEM Fields

Ursinus will emphasize the recruitment and retention of academically talented students demonstrating financial need, through both scholarships and programming to assist them in completing majors and pursuing graduate programs and careers in biology, biochemistry, and neuroscience.

“Ursinus College has a strong history in undergraduate science education,” said Ursinus Interim President Lucien “Terry” Winegar. This grant will allow us to develop exciting programming that will build on and extend both strengths.”

Professor of Biology and Associate Dean Rebecca Kohn leads the five-year S-STEM grant of $593,357 titled, “Supporting Inclusive Excellence in Biology, Biochemistry, and Neuroscience.” Kohn’s early grants was a National Science Foundation CAREER grant with the goal of encouraging interest by female and minority students in biology research. The Center for Science and the Common Good’s FUTURE (Fellowships in the Ursinus Transition to the Undergraduate Research Experience) Summer Research Program encourages underserved students in STEM fields to begin research even before their first semester.

The new grant will help develop the Supporting Inclusive Excellence (SIE) project to support 30 academically talented students over the five-year grant period who demonstrate financial need as they complete majors in biology, biochemistry, or neuroscience, and as they look toward entering the workforce or STEM graduate school programs. Other students on campus will also benefit from some of these supports.

“The strength of the project,” said Kohn, “lies in its coordinated approach to support recruitment and retention of STEM students through academic advising, curricular and co-curricular activities, mentoring, and research opportunities.” It includes a bridge program to facilitate the transition between the first and second semesters of introductory biology, inclusive pedagogy in introductory biology and chemistry courses, a series of workshops offered by the Career and Professional Development office towards achieving STEM careers, and research opportunities to strengthen students’ connection to the STEM community.

The SIE project will be assessed and findings will be shared so that other institutions can incorporate successful approaches for supporting high-achieving and low-income students.
