Re:	Faculty Emeritus status for Dr. Troy Isaak

Please consider the following request for emeritus status for Dr. Troy Isaak, who is retiring this spring. Dr. Isaak has been a faculty member at Millersville since 1988. Some of his numerous accomplishments include:

• the integration of technological and musical expertise as a scholar and a teacher,
• the development of a computerized tutorial for students using the original Pine e-mail system that saved many hours of face-to-face tutorials and significantly speeded up the process of getting MU students on-line,
• co-authorship of several books on using instructional technology in the K-12 classroom,
• earning grants which brought over $450,000 to Millersville University, including (with John Ward) a Link-2-Learn Grant that resulted in a much-enriched instructional technology curriculum for elementary education majors and the Harmony School case-based web-site as an instructional tool, and
• the development of faculty and student exchanges in the areas of music industries and applied arts with the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, Scotland.

Troy Isaak has served the Educational Foundations Department in ways too numerous to list here and willingly shared his multiple talents with the university community in many ways and on many occasions. His gentle, witty, compassionate spirit will be sorely missed by those who had the privilege of seeing him every day. The Department of Educational Foundations strongly supports the status of Associate Professor Emeritus being granted to Dr. Troy Isaak.
