These west stairwell windows of South Hall look out onto College Avenue and South Academy Street. The new Mansfield University building will be a “one-stop shopping” facility for students, housing the registrar’s office, financial aid, admissions, psychology and counseling, academic advisory department, and students even will be able to pay parking tickets there, said Anne LaVancher, executive secretary to the president.
MANSFIELD — Tioga County Development Corp. directors attending Friday’s meeting at the university here got an education, but it wasn’t quite the typical sort offered at a university.
Instead, they learned about a technology partnership and the Pennsylvania dairy industry, two totally different and yet interconnected topics.
Larry Seibert, regional manager of Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania, which covers 21 counties, used a PowerPoint presentation to share with directors the role his organization plays in promoting business in Pennsylvania.
Created in 1983, the partnership has helped the region’s technology companies prosper by providing them with access to capital, business expertise and university resources, Seibert said.
