New Faculty Publications
Professor of Economics Shawn Ritenour recently published The Economics of Prosperity: Rethinking Economic Growth and Development. In his latest work, Ritenour argues that economic prosperity is not monocausal. It is the happy consequence of a highly developed division of labor, taking advantage of an expanding capital structure, embodied in technically advanced capital goods, all wisely invested by entrepreneurs. All these sources of prosperity require the social institutions of private property and sound money to function well together, facilitating economic progress and human civilization.

Candy Sale for Autism Awareness
We had our biggest year yet for our Autism Awareness Candy Fundraiser by selling 1,440 candy bars for over $800 in school supplies for a new sensory room at the Mercer School District!
Thank you to the CEC and Dr. Fecich along with everyone who purchased candy bars to help us make this possible!
Librarian Staff Professional Development
Pittsburgh recently played host to ACRL, a biannual conference for the Association of College & Research Libraries, where members of the academic library community from around the country meet to discuss research, trends, technology, and services. Several of our staff were able to attend various aspects of the conference. Librarians Amy Lister and David Roberts attended several educational sessions over the span of the 2-day conference and library director Barbra Munnell along with librarian Gretchen Maxeiner traveled there as well to speak with various vendors about library resources and materials.
Gretchen Maxeiner is currently serving as a reviewer on grant applications for the Catalyst Fund from Lyrasis, a non-profit membership organization serving libraries and other cultural heritage organizations, of which Grove City College is a member. This is her 4th year reviewing proposals.
