The 695-acre tract in Cumberland County will provide trail access to Tuscarora State Forest at Meadow Road, southeast of the Maseland Natural Area. "This acquisition protects some of the most important (formerly) privately held conservation lands along the southern tier of Pennsylvania," said Todd McNew, Conservation Fund President A From Page IA "It's not me, it's the institution," Ruud said.

"My biggest goal is to make the institution a place that is so comfortable for people to come and work, live and learn." To reach that goal, Ruud said he strives to maximize the level of success at SU; and he is merely "the guy who tries to steer the If SU students are learning, faculty members are teaching and staff members are supportive, Ruud feels it makes his job of building greater success even easier. Another accomplishment met during his first year as president was upgrading the facility master plan from the prior plan in 1997- 98, and identifying the needs of on-campus facilities. Filling staffing, faculty and administrator vacancies was also put into place during Ruud's first year. A new dean of extended studies and a dean for the graduate school was hired. By July 1, the senior leadership team will be in place, he said.

Ruud said he is also proud that a very successful faculty contract was negotiated with SU employees. "Just because the contract is settled doesn't mean we won't continue to examine issues that will make Shippensburg University an ongoing better place for folks to live at, to work at and to learn at," he said. According to Ruud, student enrollment was up 3.3 percent last year at SU. He is happy that more people are becoming interested in the university and what it has to offer. The grand opening of the student recreation center is scheduled for Feb.

14 and administrators hope to better serve the growing campus population in the new facility, he said.

"Glatfelter's cooperation and commitment to working with this partnership was key to ensuring that these lands have permanent conservation status and will be forever open to the public." "Preservation of our forested ridge tops is essential to the quality of life in our region, particularly for clean drinking water for generations to come," said Cumberland County Commissioner Gary Eichelberger. The Conservation Fund raised more than $3 million in private funds, more than half of which came from the Pittsburgh-based Richard King Mellon Foundation.

The state contributed more than $5.5 million. York and Cumberland counties and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy also contributed. "We are particularly excited that one of the Glatfelter tracts is adjacent to land previously protected by conservancy, which is also planned to become an addition to Buchanan State Forest," said Greg Socha, senior director of forest conservation for the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
