EAST STROUDSBURG - East Stroudsburg University President Marcia G. Welsh, Ph.D., introduced State Representative Michael Peifer (R –139) as the university’s 2012 Legislative Fellow during a ceremony at the ESU Innovation Center. 

The Legislative Fellow Program at ESU was established in 1999 to invite a different Pennsylvania state legislator every year to participate in ESU campus and student life on a variety of levels. The Fellows meet formally and informally with students, faculty and staff throughout the academic year. The program is co-sponsored by the university administration and the local chapter of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) at ESU.  Fellows are selected by a committee of faculty and administrators and jointly appointed by the university president and the president of APSCUF at the beginning of each calendar year.

Rep. Peifer is the fourteenth Legislative Fellow named by the university.
