Welcome Justin Gregorich '10 back home to WC! Gregorich is joining Westminster as the Director of the Office of Professional Development and Community Engagement (PDCE). Previously working in Mercer County public school and higher ed institutions, his experiences connecting with students and regional employers will position Titans for professional success as he creates talent pipelines and employer partnerships.

WHAT IS THE PDCE? The PDCE is a new collaborative endeavor that connects students not only with internship, career, and networking opportunities, but also with problem-based and service learning opportunities that complement classroom instruction. Justin will work collaboratively with Dr. Helen Boylan, who did her sabbatical work on service-learning, and the PDCE Committee of Alumni Council to help engage alumni with current students in the area of professional development. Connect with Justin on LinkedIn!
