On our Tuesday program after a long Easter weekend, we began by interviewing Erie native author and speaker Dr. Craig Von Buseck about his latest book, I Am Cyrus: Harry S. Truman and the Rebirth of Israel. Then we learned about the brand-new program launching in Erie called the Erie Center for Arts & Technology. The program is directed to at-risk high school student, as well as providing no-cost workforce training. We were joined by Executive Director, Daria Devlin, ECAT board member & Principal of the DiPaolo Student Success Center at Emerson-Gridley, Jill Crable, and local photographer and artist, Maitham Bagha-Asha.
