Welcome to the latest edition of the alumni newsletter.

Hello Alumni Family! 


I've been having so much fun the past few months connecting with alumni and seeing some of the spaces and places where you are working! I can't wait to meet more of you.


In June, we had our first-ever, program-specific alumni mixer for CSET and EET graduates. We partnered with PubForge who welcomed us into their space. We had a small but mighty crew of alumni who chatted about the school and reminisced about their time here. In July, we hosted alumni from The Table for a reunion as well. It was great to meet some young alumni and connect with them about how they want to get involved. I'm excited to continue to plan these types of events with your help and interest! Please reach out if getting your class or program together sounds like something you'd love to do.


I've also been busy looking ahead by planning a host of activities for Homecoming week this year starting on October 10th. We are going BIG so mark your calendars now. We are hosting activities and inviting you back on campus to participate in a blood drive, peek into our archives history with Tim Creamer and Trisha Meley, compete in a powder puff football game, and more. On the evening of October 13th we will host both the Athletic Hall of Fame inductions AND class reunions for the classes of 1970, 1971, 1972, and 1973. Saturday, October 14th will be a HUGE DAY!! We will have our Car Show on main campus, President's Tailgate, our public meeting, and end the day with our Alumni Awards Banquet. I can't wait to see and meet you at one of these amazing events.


Can't wait until October to visit us? Make sure to check out all the other events we have coming up and mark your calendar to join us!


As always, I'd love to hear from you! Reach out to me directly at valentin@stevenscollege.edu or 717-753-0263.

 

Can't wait to connect!

New Student Orientation


Over the past few weeks, we welcomed hundreds of new students on campus for orientation. Students met classmates, visited programs, and had lots of fun. I was included in planning "Fun" nights for the students, which included lots of games, food, prizes, and getting to know each other. We also had a few alumni on-site to mingle with new students!

Honoring Board Member Moe Barry

We gathered to honor the 29 years of service that Moe Barry, Class of 1971, gave to the Alumni Association over lunch and laughter. Moe spoke of his fond memories of planning and constructing Memorial Park on campus.

CSET/EET Alumni Gathering


PubForge in downtown Lancaster opened its space for us to gather with classmates and instructors of the past! The small but mighty crew enjoyed reminiscing about their time at Thaddeus Stevens College and talking about the future of the programs. After our gathering, Tech Lancaster hosted their regular meeting.

The Table Alumni Reunion


Clint Watkins and I partnered to bring together a great group of alumni from The Table (formally known as Power Source). There were alumni representing their "Founder's" class in 2016 and every year up to 2023! It was great to meet them all and be welcomed to break bread at their table.


Alumni Highlight


Kristen Phipps (McGinnis) is the winner of TSCT Alumni swag after sharing her feedback on how she wants to get involved on campus. Kristen is a 2008 graduate of the Graphics Communications and Printing Technology Program. She is currently employed at Clark Associations / The Restaurant store as a Design Manager. She oversees a team of graphic designers, product designers, and UI designers. Kristen loves Thaddeus Stevens College because it "provides an affordable and accessible education to residents of Pennsylvania with a focus on hands-on learning. You can enter the workforce earlier with a fraction of student debt (or no debt at all)." 


Congrats Kristen!
