Edinboro State College

In Shenango, classes were first offered in 1961 at the Hickory Township High School. In 1968, the Shenango Center was relocated to the junior high school at Farrell. For the first year there the Center shared occupancy of the building, but thereafter it was solely the property of the Shenango Center. Bill Utley was the first director of the Center. He was succeeded by Tom Come for three years and then by William Herrmann. The Center closed in 1975. In 1969-68, the enrollment was 283 students according to the Shenango Enrollment Statistics. Though, in the spring semester, it rose to 295 students. Two years later, there was a memo sent from the Director of the Shenango Campus pertaining to budget requests (1970-71) for a list of repairs and renovations for a newly acquired facility. A study was done by William M. Herrman in 1971 on the Past, Present, Future of the Shenango Valley Campus. The study focused on the evolution of the campus and concluded that the Shenango Campus was a justifiable and worthy institution. Further, Herrman recommended that a firm and specific policy should be implemented in order to properly develop as a campus. Though, with all of the campus promise, Edinboro State College closed the Shenango Campus in 1975.
