Talk:Wilkes University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Wilkes has the premier Education Department in Northeastern Pennsylvania Teacher Education Department." -- I am deleting this line as this is as "premier Education Department" is not objective. I have seen similar sentences appear on more than one occasion in the past. Please back this up with a reference if you feel it should be in the article.Jrmski 02:36, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Todo
- Photo + details of the purchase of the 10 East South Street apartment building.
Add additional noteworthy events: Academic
- Max Rosenn Lecture (Annual)
- Kirby Lecture (business)
Any Non-Academic Possibilities? Jrmski 02:36, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clubs
It is ridiculous to list one club. Several other clubs had been listed and unnecessarily deleted. Selective editing of the entries could have salvaged useful content. A fuller list of clubs can be found at www.wilkes.edu -> Campus Life -> Clubs & Organizations. ManthonyK
Agreed. Adding these additions back in. But these will require some cleanup. Jrmski 02:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other
Potentially useful additions:
- proximity to several other Northeast PA Schools
- Urban Studies center located in the Innovation Center
- Transitioning to an (the first?) (almost) all-macintosh computer campus
- Notable benefactor: Jay S. Sidhu
- Master plan summary
- Mentoring program
- Large commuter population
[edit] Wilkes Neologisms?
1. Are these really notable enough for an encyclopedia page? I'm still undecided myself 2. Should this be titled "Wilkes Vernacular" or "Wilkes Slang" perhaps? Neologism suggests to me that the words are used outside the campus community. Jrmski 01:31, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
