2014 ANNUAL REPORT

Connecting to Move Forward

Partnerships

Greetings from Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, The theme for this year’s Annual Report is Partnerships – Connecting to Move Forward. In today’s environment of limited resources, greater competition, and emphasis on increased productivity, partnerships become even more critical. They provide access to additional resources and, when structured properly, result in “win-win” relationships for all the organizations involved.

It is not an exaggeration to state that without such partnerships the College could not fulfill its mission. Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology is fortunate to have a large number of strong partnerships that cover the entire spectrum. From its inception, the College’s Housing Project has been dependent upon its industry partners. A significant portion of the materials used to build the homes comes from donations and deep discounts by industry. Students then become familiar with specific vendors and products. When later employed, they often make purchases based on that familiarity. Industry partners also rely on the College’s skilled recent graduates to meet their workforce needs. The City of Lancaster is a third partner in this relationship, assisting with the permits and code requirements that have resulted in more than 100 affordable, quality homes built by our students in the city over the last 50 years.

The College’s recent capital campaign to acquire property from the City of Lancaster to build the Advanced Manufacturing Center is another partnership example. The city’s willingness to allow the property to be utilized by the College for a higher purpose than a city maintenance facility is a great example of leadership by Mayor Rick Gray. A lead matching gift from Greiner Industries by Mr. Frank Greiner and his wife, Sharon, was critical. Greiner has been a long time employer of our graduates and anticipates that need increasing exponentially in the future. Subsequent financial and equipment gifts by the Steinman Foundations, High Family Foundation, Burnham Company/US Boilers and innumerable other individuals and companies allowed us to reach our goal in less than a year. The new facilities that will comprise the Greiner Campus will triple our capacity and address the critical workforce needs of industry in several areas. This increased capacity is crucial for companies to compete in a global economy and will contribute to economic development. In addition, the future Community Learning Center, included in the

design plans, will provide a means for citizens in the area to develop skills that will provide them access to a career ladder and family-sustaining employment. All and all, this is a win-win situation for everyone involved and a great example of how partnerships should work.

Many companies and individuals have also developed significant partnerships with one or more of our 20 major technical degree programs. They have donated equipment, materials and supplies to equip program laboratories, thus assisting our students in hands-on training and projects. These companies are included in the Partnerships – Connecting to Move Forward review starting on page 17 of the Financial Report section. This 2014 financial report represents donations and support received from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. This Annual Report will highlight numerous other partnerships, but by no means is it a comprehensive or static list. We are very appreciative of your interest and investment in our students.

The foundation for all of our actions on campus is driven by our mission and our new Master Plan and Strategic Direction. Over the next few years, you will see numerous changes on campus. Much of this will be the result of our goal for enrollment and retention growth, with additional new academic programs and new facilities that will accommodate this growth. It will be an exciting time to see the metamorphosis of these changes on campus. We will continue to provide a quality technical college education resulting in more Thaddeus Stevens graduates entering high-demand careers. Our partnerships will continue to expand as the College grows and will continue to be a critical component of our ability to fulfill our mission and achieve success. Thank you for being a partner.

Best regards,

William E. Griscom, Ed.D. President

In an effort to better educate middle and high school students about various industries, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology partnered with several companies and organizations in 2014 to create fun and unique ways to highlight both construction and manufacturing careers.

On September 17, the College partnered with Landmark Homes based in Ephrata, PA for the first ever Construction Trades Day. The goals of this day were to bring students to a planned community built by Landmark and showcase the various areas of new home construction. Over 300 students from across Lancaster County attended this event. Students were able to walk throughout the community and see workers from all areas of construction, including framing, carpentry, water management and even the business side of selling the homes. Workers on site at each home were able to fully explain their responsibilities and the benefits of working in their particular trade. Due to the overwhelming success of the first ever Construction Trades Day and the large participation from schools from throughout the county, Landmark Homes and Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology have agreed to partner again in the future to sponsor this day.

National Manufacturing Day has been in existence for several years—and Lancaster County, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology included, have participated in various activities the past two years. In 2014, the Workforce Investment Board of Lancaster County (WIB) decided it was time to not only highlight manufacturing careers in the county on one day, but to create a comprehensive week of activities which focused on educating students, the general public and other members of the business community to the many advantages manufacturing has to offer.

During the last week of September and in to the start of October, the WIB organized events throughout the county highlighting these different areas of manufacturing. The week kicked off with an informative press conference where the future of manufacturing in the county was spotlighted and discussion was focused on the needs of the industry, pointing to what needs to occur in order for manufacturing to continue its renaissance in this area.

The College hosted a luncheon midweek, which focused on providing human resource representatives information about the industry. The College was able to discuss programs associated with manufacturing and to discuss plans for the Advanced Manufacturing Campus that is set to open its doors in a few years. Much focus was given to the fact that manufacturing has an aging workforce that needs to be replenished with skilled, technical workers, the kind that Thaddeus Stevens College graduates each year.

For the College, the week was capped off by attending two sessions with Astro Machine Works in Ephrata, PA. Students from various local schools were bussed in to see the company’s many contributions to the manufacturing industry. They were able to see several projects from conception to completion and were able to see the diverse range of fields necessary to get from these points. The College presented information about our programs and how they can assist with finding strong careers in these fields, such as those students were visiting that day. Nearly a third of Astro Machine Works’ workforce are Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology graduates.

Partnering with organizations such as the WIB and with companies like Landmark and Astro Machine are critical aspects of the College’s success.

The 2014–2015 academic year was ushered in with two new programs at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. Both the Electro-Mechanical Technology and Water and Environmental Technology programs began their first classes in August 2014. Both programs were created based on the demand for qualified employees, as well as at the request of industry.

The Electro-Mechanical Technology (ELME) program, often referred to as mechatronics, is producing students who will easily fit into the manufacturing industry based on the knowledge of electronic and electrical systems, robotics, hydraulics and more. Electro-mechanical technicians have become essential employees in the manufacturing industry. Through the ELME program at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, we are now meeting those needs.

The ELME program, headed by instructors Don Dagen and Arthur Jackson, hit the ground running in August. Through generous donations of equipment, specifically a Baxter robot acquired through partnership grants, students are now able to experience first hand the type of automated mechanical manufacturing they would in industry. According to Laurie Grove, Director of Career Services at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, “This program will easily become the program with the most sought after graduates within the next year or two. Based solely on the demand from industry, graduates should find it easy to find employment upon graduating from Stevens.”

A program that was developed based not only on the overwhelming demands of industry, but also the fact that everyone needs clean, palatable water is the Water and Environmental Technology (WET) program at Stevens. Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology is the first College in the Commonwealth to offer a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection accredited Associate Degree in this field. The degree will provide students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to help fill the impending shortage of certified operators.

Why is this in such demand? Laurie Grove commented, “With an aging workforce, there is an anticipated shortage of certified operators expected in the next five to ten years. This, coupled with new and always changing state and federal regulations, requires someone with an advanced degree to work in this field.”

Instructors Bill McKeon and Katie Surra come with years of experience and knowledge working in the field. The outlook for graduates is strong and students can expect to find jobs in both the public and private sectors.

The 2015-2016 academic year will introduce the new Residential Remodeling program to Thaddeus Stevens College. A derivative of the Carpentry Technology program, Residential Remodeling will introduce students to the craft of residential remodeling and will cover basic carpentry and remodeling skills, as well as advanced remodeling and renovation practices.

This stand-alone, construction discipline utilizes state-of-the-art methods and materials to keep current homeowners in their existing houses. Residential Remodeling adds living space to existing homes and retrofits existing structures with modern conveniences and updated building codes and standards.

Charles Byers, a longtime Carpentry instructor at the College, has spearheaded this program and will begin teaching the curriculum this fall. “Construction, as a whole, has been on the rise in the Lancaster area and beyond for the past few years,” stated Laurie Grove. “With the advent of this program, we will not only be training in the field of new construction, but now in the much desired Remodeling field as well.”

Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology continues to work with industry in developing and renewing the skills taught in each of programs. Through the expert knowledge of our Craft Advisory Boards, curriculum is constantly reviewed and scrutinized, ensuring graduates of all of the College’s existing programs, as well as potential new programs, will be skilled and highly employable upon their graduation from the College.

“… this program will easily become the program with the most sought after graduates within the next year or two.”

The demand for skilled workers in science, technology, engineering, and math is closely linked to global competitiveness. Technology is pervasive in almost every aspect of daily life. As the workplace changes, especially in industry with skilled workers retiring, the question remains, “Will there be enough new workers interested or trained with the skills needed to fill these high demand career opportunities?”

There is a call to implement more science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in secondary education curriculum, which would result in students having a better educational foundation leading to a better career. There is also a need to introduce more female students to the wide variety of in-demand, non-traditional careers that they may never have thought of or explored.

Thaddeus Stevens College has a myriad of Experience STEM Opportunities Camps for middle and high school students. Many of these STEM Camps are offered during the summer months on the College campus for 1–2 weeks at a time. The development and expansion of Summer Experience programs during 2014 was made possible by UGI Utilities with their $50,000 grant through the Pennsylvania Education Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC). Their funding supported the curriculum development, materials, instruction and student registration fees. Many of the participating middle and high school students were from the school districts of Lancaster and Columbia.

The Stevens Experience Camp was a series of two-week camps on campus for 35 hours per week and attended by middle school students mostly from the City of Lancaster. Three two-week camps were offered during the summer with registration limited to 15 students per camp. Students were introduced to various technology skills, including graphics, carpentry, plumbing, and electrical. Campers complete hands-on projects in each area. Also included are field trips to Lancaster Science Factory, North Museum, and other museums that introduce STEM learning, technical exploration and fun activities. STEM career awareness, associated with the College’s technical programs is also introduced along with self-development and leadership training activities.


STEM Camps: Pathways to the Future

Thaddeus Stevens College has a myriad of Experience STEM Opportunities Camps for middle and high school students.

Fifth grade students from the School District of Lancaster take part in various sessions learning about technology STEM careers. Three two-week workshops were held in 2014. Bottom left, students experience Metal Casting project.

Tech Gyrls is a two-week STEM camp for middle grades girls, held for 3½ hours each morning on the College’s campus. In the afternoon, the program transitions to the YWCA for more activities. Approximately 12–15 students attended each of the four, two-week camps during the 2014 summer. During the morning sessions at Stevens, the girls develop self–esteem and leadership skills; gain personal financial literacy awareness; are mentored by industry partners; participate in Technical Skills Workshops in various technology labs on campus; and explore MyFutureCareer, an interactive career awareness website emphasizing STEM Technology careers. PPL Electric and the Pell Grant program also assist as partners in these camps. In 2014, students represented the school districts of Lancaster, Manheim Township, Garden Spot, Solanco, Conestoga Valley and Lampeter Strasburg.

Digital Image Camp is a one-week creative design camp offered through the College’s Graphic Communications and Printing Technology Department. The summer camp ran Monday through Thursday, from 9 am – 2 pm, with a maximum of 16 students. Through numerous projects students learned digital photography, digital page layout, Adobe Photoshop techniques, screen printing, logo design, and basic Web page development.

Compass Mark in conjunction with Thaddeus Stevens College offered several STEM workshops for high school students (including Columbia and Lancaster) on the Stevens campus. Students were introduced to career fields that lead to productive, high-demand, good-paying careers. The workshops were 1–3 days in length and offered exposure to trending “gold collar” careers. Hands-on lab activities were conducted in mechatronics (electrical and mechanical projects). Using an iPod, they were able to experience how technology used daily is part of this exciting career of mechatronics. Students were also introduced to plumbing and carpentry technology. As a group project, they designed and constructed a bench that they presented to their school (Columbia), which was installed outside the front doors of the high school. A portion of these workshops were underwritten by UGI Utilities through their EITC contribution.

Other summer programs on campus included students from the Exit Lancaster Program (a middle school mentoring program representing Lancaster City). In total, the Thaddeus Stevens College campus comes alive in the summer with approximately 300, middle and high school students exploring various STEM educational applications. If you are a school counselor, educator, parent, alumnus, or friend you can also become involved by introducing students to the exciting Thaddeus Stevens College K–12 STEM Experience Camps and programs that are offered, not only through the summer, but all year long. Contact the College Student Services Office for more program details.

We are appreciative of the various businesses that supported the 2014 K–12 STEM program through their EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credit) donations to the College. With such continued support new and similar STEM programs will be offered during the summer of 2015 allowing more students to discover technology applications that may be their pathway to their future.

The acronym STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) is receiving much attention these days both by industry and education. It’s a new challenge that emphasizes the need for students to attain higher proficiencies in these areas. Why? Because today’s and tomorrow’s workforces require more advanced technical skills.

A new project called Building STEM Learning with Mobile Robotics at the College is emphasizing the importance of a technical education while creating excitement in youth. Robots can reach even the most tough-to-engage students. With the help of a dedicated group of partners, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology now has not one but two unique collaborative, human-like robots, known as “Baxter” by the manufacturer.

Meet Thad and Lydia, as renamed by our students. The introduction of Thad and Lydia on both Thaddeus Stevens’s campuses brings safe, cage-free mobile robotics into several two-year technical programs. Thad and Lydia will be used (1) to provide new cross-program collaboration opportunities;

(2) to engage post-secondary remedial education students; and (3) to excite and inspire K-8 children at an interactive science center. Ultimately, this project will help attract more children and youth to STEM educational programs and inspire them to pursue STEM-related careers.

One robot, Thad, is housed in the Kreider Building on our main campus. It is being used by students and faculty in Electronics Engineering Technology and Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology. Thad is the center of our robotics curriculum and assists our students pursuing associate degrees with hands-on experience in programming robotic equipment, applying it in manufacturing settings, and integrating the robotics equipment in the manufacturing process.

Today’s manufacturing plants are much more sophisticated than in the past. Many companies have installed robotic equipment for routine tasks, allowing workers to perform more skilled applications. Since robotic equipment is becoming more common in manufacturing, Thad will keep our students’ skills up-to-date and highly employable.

Our other robot, Lydia, is housed at the Branch campus in the Experiencing Technology course laboratory. Lydia is helping to improve STEM learning and engagement in Pre-Major students that have enrolled at Stevens and are exploring various career directions.

This summer, one of the robots will be on loan as part of a new robotics exhibit at the Lancaster Science Factory. Our Electronics Engineering and Electro-Mechanical students are designing and testing a kid-friendly, fun task loop that the robot can perform for Lancaster Science Factory visitors. Can the robot assemble a toy car? Can it solve a Rubik’s Cube? Could it assemble something using K’Nex toys? Select Stevens College students will serve as interns to guide visitors’ interactions with the robot. The Lancaster Science Factory staff expects the exhibit to reach approximately 11,000 K-8 students and their caregivers.

Thad and Lydia will have a full schedule of engagements. They will become ambassadors for other STEM programs too. At Stevens College, they will show middle and high school students how STEM skills are necessary and applied to careers. Students who participate in summer activities and camps at the College—Stevens Summer Experience STEM Programs, Tech Gyrls, Digital Camp, Compass Mark, Exit Lancaster

mentor nonprofit organization students, and Dual Enrollment students—will have the opportunity to see the robot.

This is a new, exciting area of College instruction, and one our Industry Advisory Committees have encouraged us to pursue. Having these robots will significantly improve the College’s image and expand broad community awareness in the value of a technical education. It will also serve to strengthen and deepen the existing collaboration between the College and the Lancaster Science Factory in a way that potentially can be a model for partnerships between colleges and interactive science centers worldwide.

We are very appreciative of our numerous corporate and foundation partners who have made it possible for us, through their financial support, to acquire robots Thad and Lydia and the necessary robotic software and accessory equipment. Many K-14 students will benefit from this new program, gaining an opportunity to experience exciting STEM technology and uses.

Thad and Lydia will help make the critical link in the minds of K-14 students between STEM education, real-world applications and the benefits of a technical education. And what student doesn’t get excited about working with a robot?

He has been part of the Machine Technology Action Committee and has visited more than a dozen local high schools to meet with guidance departments and students speaking on behalf of the program.

Bill Starr also received the Distinguished Service Award. Mr. Starr has served as a member of the Thaddeus Stevens College Home Board and is a member of the College’s Community Advisory Board.

Wayne G. Deibler was presented an Honorary Doctorate from the College. Deibler is a 1957 graduate of Thaddeus Stevens with a major in carpentry. He has served the College as an ambassador for governmental affairs, in alumni activities, and as a general supporter of the College.

Lancaster City Mayor J. Richard Gray was also presented an Honorary Doctorate. Mayor Gray has been a longtime supporter of the College, and through his help and partnership the College has enjoyed significant growth and prosperity. Mayor Gray has been a major supporter of the College’s efforts to revitalize the southeast corner of the city through expanding and renovating what will become the Greiner Advanced Manufacturing Center.

In addition to serving as the keynote speaker, State Secretary of Budget Charles Zogby also received an honorary degree. Secretary Zogby has been a strong advocate of the College both when he served as Secretary of Education for the Commonwealth and in his role as

Secretary of Budget. Zogby was instrumental in helping the College receive capital funding to advance the physical needs of the school.

Zogby closed his speech with a word of hope for the graduating students, “I wish each of you every success in life and may that success not only be measured economically, but defined, too, by the positive difference you have made in other people’s lives along the way.”

“It has been said that if the eyes are the window to the soul,

One of Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology’s programs grabbing the spotlight in 2014 was the Collision Repair Technology program. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2015, the program geared up for the celebration by expanding the program and the skills taught through the receipt of several grants and recognitions. Many of these honors are a direct result of the tireless efforts of Collision Repair instructors David Lightner and Dennis Antosy and Automotive Technology instructors Martin Christian and Victor Gibson.

In 2014, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology received multiple donations from the Central Pennsylvania Region of the Porsche Club of America. At a breakfast representatives from the local chapter of the Porsche Club presented these donations to students and administrators of the College. Tool sets for the Sophomore classes of the College’s Automotive

Technology program and Collision Repair Technology Program were donated by the Porsche Club. Automotive students received a 1/2" drive Snap-On torque wrench, Argo online Textbook/simulator, and a Autel scanner/code reader. Students in the Collision Repair Technology program received a Tekna Pro Lite Paint Gun. Students will be able to keep these tools for use in their professional careers upon graduating from Thaddeus Stevens College.

Two students were also chosen, one from Automotive Technology and one from Collision Repair Technology, to receive a $7,100 scholarship each from the Club. Tyler Cooper (Automotive) from Denver, PA and Cory Swartzentruver (Collision Repair) from Millersville, PA were the recipients chosen by the Porsche Club to receive these scholarships.

Finally, in April of 2014, the Porsche Club donated a Porsche to be worked on in both the Automotive and Collision Repair programs. At the breakfast in August, the Club officially handed over the title for the Porsche to the College’s Foundation. The Porsche will be used for various projects within the programs.

“I was shocked,” commented David Lightner, first year instructor in the Collision Repair program at Thaddeus Stevens College. “When we first saw the Porsche, I thought our students would do the work and then we would return the Porsche to its owner for show. Instead, the Central PA Region of the Porsche Club of America generously donated this incredible car as a project for our students to expand their knowledge.”

In October 2014, the Collision Repair program, in addition to our manufacturing programs, was the recipient of a JOBS1st PA Tech Grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry. The grant is earmarked to upgrade equipment used in training students the Collision Repair program. The Department of Labor & Industry through its Re-Employment Fund made the funds available.

Thaddeus Stevens received funding in the grant to upgrade equipment in the Collision Repair Technology Applied Science degree program. Funds will be used to purchase an auto frame/unibody straightener for the program. This equipment will allow existing and future students in the program to continue to earn industry recognized credentials.

“Part of the mission of Thaddeus Stevens College is to educate students for skilled employment in a diverse, ever-changing workforce,” commented Dr. William Griscom, President of Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, “With this grant the College can continue to expand on this mission and can continue to develop the knowledge of our graduates, in turn strengthening the industries and economy of the Commonwealth.”

In November, the Collision Repair Program was announced as the 2014 Ultimate Collision Education Makeover $50,000 School Grant Post-Secondary Winner by the Collision Repair Education Foundation. Over 100 programs from across the nation applied for the grant, with only two recognized as the top winners and several other named as runner ups.

This makeover grant will allow the Collision Repair Technology program at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology to expand within its current location, purchase much needed equipment and tools and greatly enhance the knowledge and skills of the students and future graduates of the program. Program instructor David Lightner was on hand in Las Vegas, NV when the grant was awarded to the College. Lightner, the first year instructor in the program, is also a graduate of the Collision Repair program at Stevens.

In March of 2014, students from both the Collision Repair program and the Graphics and Printing Technology program at Stevens took part in a press conference with the DUI Council for Lancaster County. The media event was held to unveil a new police/taxi hybrid, funded by the DUI Council, to raise awareness that it is cheaper to call a taxi cab than to be arrested on DUI charges. Students from both programs were involved in the design and the build of this unique vehicle.

The vehicle has been utilized across the county to raise awareness and was part of the College’s Annual Street Fair in conjunction with Homecoming in October.

Dave Lightner ’04 Alumnus Profile


David Lightner, a 2004 graduate of the Collision Repair Technology program at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, has returned as an instructor to the program and is playing an instrumental role in guiding Collision Repair forward. As the program enters its 50th year at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, Lightner, along with second year instructor Dennis Antosy, have continued to further the program and enhance the experience for the students going through it.

Reflecting on his time at Stevens as a student, Lightner comments “it’s definitely a whole new look on things being on the other side of the table. Now I see why the instructor (Mr. Antosy) taught and stressed the things that

he did when I was a student. Mr. Antosy did a great

job preparing me for a career in the collision industry and Mr. Herberto Arjona also helped prepare me for becoming a small business owner.”

Upon graduating from the College, Lightner started a custom

automotive business, with two other

Stevens

graduates (Bob Dructor, Kris Troutman). Together they built custom cars for OEM manufacturers and corporate companies for a few years, and then they decided to focus more on collision repair. Lightner went to McCafferty Collision Center where he was the production painter, along with Dructor who worked as a Body Technician. This is where Lightner would continue to work until returning to TSCT.

The 2014–15 academic year marks Lightner’s third year with the program. Since joining the staff, he has been instrumental in getting the Collision Repair program recognized by the Collision Repair Education Foundation through I-CAR. In 2013, TSCT was the recipient of a $10,000 grant from the organization as part of their Ultimate Collision Education Makeover. In 2014, Lightner traveled to Las Vegas, NV for the I-CAR conference where TSCT was recognized as the Winner of the competition. The prize is a $50,000 makeover grant to be used to revitalize the program, equipment and the classrooms.

“I enjoy being able to be a positive role model to students who do not have that type of figure in their life. It’s also great to see a student progress from the first week of school not knowing anything, to seeing them repair and paint a car only after a few weeks of training,” commented Lightner. “I tell student to take the time you have in school and work on jobs that might be more than your skill level so you can learn how to make those repairs while you are still in a learning environment.”

In his spare time, Lightner is a member of the I-CAR regional committee. He manages a nationwide car show tour called Tjin Edition Roadshow and is a member of WrTeam Car Club. His hobbies include pretty much anything with wheels. He enjoys building and racing cars, is a huge fan of NASCAR and local dirt track racing, and he enjoys watching football, basketball and motocross with his son. He also continues to work for the Tjin Edition Roadshow and R Miller Autobody when he is not teaching. On top of all of this, Lightner is currently continuing his education at Pennsylvania College of Technology pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Automotive Business Management.

”I’d like to thank Thaddeus Stevens College and Mr. Antosy for guiding my passion for automotive collision repair and teaching me the basic skills I needed to become a successful technician in a fast pace industry,” stated Lightner, “and I also need to thank my wife for her unwavering support and having confidence in all the choices I have made over the years.”

David Lightner, in the red shirt above, has always had a passion for auto body and collision repair. Above he shows off a custom designed car to students of the Collision Repair program prior to joining the teaching staff in the program.

Beth (Stahlman) Valentin is a highly motivated and involved graduate of Thaddeus Stevens College, having received an Associate of Applied Sciences (AAS) Degree in Machine Tool and Computer Aided Manufacturing in 2004 and a second AAS Degree from Stevens in 2006 in Mechanical Engineering Technology.

“I am very thankful for my teacher, Mr. Meanor, while I attended Central York High School. He was one of many people in my life who saw potential in me and gave me that extra push to try something entirely different and out of the box as my career path. He pushed me toward something he knew would utilize my talents and help me succeed in life. During my senior year at Central York, I entered the William F. Goodling Regional Advanced Skills Center program and learned about machining. I really enjoyed learning in this program and my exposure to the field of Machine Technology. Upon graduation and with his mentorship, he encouraged me to enroll at Thaddeus Stevens, which I did.”

Valentin started in the Machine Tool and Computer Aided Manufacturing program which gave her a great machining foundation. “I returned right after graduating to pursue a Mechanical Technology Degree because I really enjoyed the golf putter design project during the second year of my machine shop. I wanted to explore what it would be like to be in engineering and designing as a career. Having the background as a machinist, knowing how to make the parts, gave me an advantage over my fellow students who were just entering the MET program with no experience. I had so many amazing instructors while at Stevens who encouraged me and believed that I, among all their students who worked hard, could be successful.” With two degrees from Thaddeus Stevens she was ready to follow her career path.

While at Stevens, Valentin worked during summers at New Standard Corporation and later at Ames Reese, Inc., where upon graduation she was employed full time engineering, machining and inspecting parts for the auto industry. In 2008, she joined National Novelty Brush Company (NNBC) in Lancaster, well-recognized for its closures and applicators used in products like Elmer’s rubber cement, Liquid Band-Aid, Bath and Body Works scrubs and other brush applicators on the market. With Valentin’s background in machining, she became the company’s Quality Manager and has had the opportunity to provide leadership in the development of a strong Quality Department and foster a culture of quality with employees that supports the company’s success.

Continuing education is important to Valentin. She is an ASQ (American Society for Quality) member working to obtain a Certified Quality Engineer title. This, she notes, will help continue to develop her skills and assure the outstanding product quality for NNBC.

Recently, Valentin has been back on the Thaddeus Stevens campus to speak to groups of female high school students exploring educational opportunities at the College. “I have enjoyed talking with these young ladies. I was in their position 15 years ago and remember how it feels and the questions they have for their future. They just need to be provided with good role models and opportunities like I had. It is interesting to see the students come in, sleepy eyed and not really knowing what to expect in our “Gold Collar Career” panel presentation, that I and several other female graduates have addressed. But after we get into the program and start telling them about our experiences they start to “wake up” ask questions, and be interested in the rewarding career possibilities we outline for them. We have also introduced them to the college’s new career awareness web site at www.myfuturecareer.us as a tool for them to explore careers we discuss.” There are so many opportunities awaiting these young ladies.

“I also tell the students to be diligent in their current studies, work hard, and be prepared to embrace mathematics which they will need in their careers. I explain I didn’t like math in high school but one Stevens instructor, Mr. Tompos, cleared the muddy waters and now I like math!”

Part of the mission at Thaddeus Stevens College is to prepare our students for full and effective participation as a citizen.

Valentin has embraced this motto actively and with passion. “I love living in the City with my family. There are so many things to enjoy and opportunities to give back. I like walking to work, Central Market, the theater, parks, getting an ice cream cone and attending numerous downtown events. I am involved as a member of the Junior League and Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). I recently joined the Board of Directors of the Clare House, whose mission is to serve homeless women and children in a caring environment, through life skills training and support, leading to self-sufficiency. While at Stevens, I actually organized a holiday drive for the Clare House through the college’s Women’s Center and became interested in their organization.”

“The biggest take away I have from attending Thaddeus Stevens is believing in myself and knowing that there are people who believe in you and will help you reach your dreams and goals. All you need to do is ask. That and hard work and being diligent will bring success in any career path one chooses. Life is what you make of it and you grow through the opportunities you choose to take.”

According to the Lancaster Workforce Investment Board, manufacturing is the single biggest contributor to the Lancaster County economy. Sales of $13.7 billion account for 34% of all sales and 18% of the gross regional product; manufacturing exports of $12.3 billion account for 42% of exports from Lancaster County that total $29.3 billion; manufacturing jobs of 39,147 account for 13% of all jobs in Lancaster County; and over the next 10 years, there will be a need for 2,200 manufacturing workers because of growth in the industry and an additional 14,600 to replace those Baby Boom-age workers who will be retiring.

These numbers are not unique to Lancaster County. The Commonwealth is experiencing the same type of growth in an industry many thought had been abandoned in this country. With this type of demand, who has and will continue to pick up the mantle in educating the future workers in the manufacturing industry?

The answer is simple: Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, Pennsylvania’s top two-year college of technology. Since 1905, Thaddeus Stevens College has been driven by providing students with a trade-based education that prepares them for careers in various industries. Working with business and industry, the College has continued to shape and re-shape its programs to best suit the ever-changing needs of industry. Today, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology has become one of the leaders in Pennsylvania for manufacturing education and provides highly skilled individuals to fill the gap left by those retiring from the industry.

Over the next few years, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology will embark on an ambitious expansion of its Manufacturing trade programs. The Greiner Advanced Manufacturing Campus will introduce expanded, state-of-the-art facilities for the Machine Tool, Metals Fabrication and Welding, and Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration programs. These programs will at least double in the number of students able to enroll. This in turn means the College will graduate twice as many students from the programs and will expand the number of people available to work in these industries. This expansion will make Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology the premier manufacturing training facility not only in southern Pennsylvania, but also throughout the Commonwealth.

This expansion will also allow for the creation of a stand-alone welding program and will allow for expansion of the Electrical, Electronic Engineering, Electro-Mechanical and other programs currently located on the main campus of the College.

Ensuring employment for our graduates and meeting the needs of industry has always been a primary focus of Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. Through this expansion, the College is recognizing both. The project, slated to be completed in the next two to three years, will greatly impact the manufacturing industry and will assist in the industry’s renaissance in the Commonwealth.

Through a generous donation by Frank Greiner, President of Greiner Industries, Inc. and Sharon Greiner, and a contribution from the Commonwealth, Thaddeus Stevens College was two-thirds of the way to acquiring the property for this project.

It is with great appreciation that Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology and the Thaddeus Stevens College Foundation thank the following donors for their contribution to our Capital Campaign to raise the remaining funds to complete the acquisition of the property which will become the Advanced Manufacturing Campus.

Greiner Campaign Donors

Note: This list includes some donations contributed and received outside the 2013–2014 fiscal year but are not included elsewhere in the Annual Report listings.

What is it like to go back into history and relive life in Colonial Williamsburg as a carpenter or in Colonial Pennsylvania as a blacksmith, tinsmith or working on one Colonial Philadelphia’s mansions? Or maybe you envision building part of the infrastructure of one of today’s aircraft carriers, a submarine or other types of logistical equipment. These are just some of the internships 17 Stevens students experienced during this past summer as internships through the college’s Career Services Office.

Seven Stevens students from our Electrical, Metal Fabrication/Welding and Plumbing programs traveled to Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia for their 12 week internships working on aircraft carriers and submarines. Some had never been on a ship before. “We were able to put what we learned in our program lab, at Stevens, to practical on -the- job experience. And in some cases learned new skills not taught at Stevens.” Zach Betz, one of our plumbing students, was featured in a Newport News Video promoting the program. Our students must have made an impression since all were offered full-time positions, should they want, upon graduation from Stevens this year.

Five other Stevens students from the Machine Tool Technology program worked for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) in New Cumberland, PA. By obtaining these internships they all have a great opportunity to work for DLA upon their graduation. DLA supplies more than 85 percent of the military’s spare parts and offers document automation and production services among many support activities. Alexis Nolt, one of our students, had her experience documented in the College’s www.myfuturecareer.us website explaining her career choice in Machine Tool and Computer Aided Manufacturing and her summer work for DLA, where she has continued to work during college breaks.

Another interesting area for interns this past summer was in the field of historic preservation. Colonial Williamsburg selected two Stevens students from our carpentry program to engage their skills reliving colonial craftsmanship at the historical site. The students were housed and fed on site for the length of their internships. “This was an unbelievable experience that we will never forget,” commented Donte Rideout ‘15 and Virgilio Cardona “15. This partnership with Colonial Williamsburg was the first of what is hoped to be many more for our students.

The longest standing historic craftsmanship internship with Stevens was established in 2012 by the Ddora Foundation, from New York. It has funded very successful summer apprenticeships in the Preservation and Traditional Building Trades as a collaborative partnership between Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster, PA, the Pennsylvania Historical Museum Commission (PHMC), which oversees all of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s historical museums and the Ddora Foundation.

Three Thaddeus Stevens students are selected annually to work during the summer at four of Pennsylvania’s living history museums including, Landis Valley Museum, Lancaster, PA; Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, Strasburg, PA; Daniel Boone Homestead, Birdsboro, PA; and Fairmount Park Trust, Philadelphia, PA. The Fairmount Park Historic Preservation Trust, Inc. (the Trust) was created to address the City of Philadelphia’s significant historic properties that were abandoned and underutilized in Fairmount Park. The Trust is a nonprofit corporation that helps the Fairmount Park Commission restore, rehabilitate and manage the historic properties. With 63 neighborhood parks, Fairmount Park is Philadelphia’s 9,200-acre citywide park system.

Over the past three years, Thaddeus Stevens students have represented a variety of program majors including Cabinetmaking and Wood, Carpentry, Masonry, Machine Tool, Collision Repair, Metal Fabrication and Welding.

During the summer of 2014, our three apprentices were assigned to the following sites: Adam Albright (Machine Tool Technology major) split his time between the Railroad

Museum of PA, restoring historic trains to museum quality (especially the Lindberg Engine) and also at the Landis Valley Museum as an apprentice blacksmith and tinsmith recreating iron and tin items for sale on site.

Greg Cornele (‘15 Cabinetmaking and Wood major)

and Michael Reed (‘15 Carpentry Technology major) apprenticed in Fairmount Park. They worked on restoring balustrades at Glen Foerd, installing a cedar roof on a 1760’s smokehouse, lime washing at Woodford and Glen

Fern, restoring windows, repointing at Mount Pleasant and Thomas Mansion, removing graffiti at Rittenhouse Square, consolidating sills and painting at Thomas Mansion and doing a variety of other smaller projects.

During the three years of this Ddora Foundation-sponsored apprenticeship program, nine Thaddeus Stevens students have benefited from this rewarding summer experience. Of the nine students who participated during these past years, two of the students accepted positions at the historical museum where they worked and have continued their full time career in historic trades and craftsmanship: Dylan Shanta at The Daniel Boone Homestead, and Steve Burkholder at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

These unique intern partnerships promote a successful understanding and experience of historical craftsmanship that otherwise is a diminishing art.

Over 125 Thaddeus Students participated in valuable learning experiences through internships at many businesses and industries. These partnerships strengthen our educational training and provide outstanding opportunities for companies to evaluate potential employees. The Stevens Career Services Office continues to seek and grow these experiences for our students.

Developing Futures Through Partners

Mike Reed’s internship included restoration work at numerous old historical mansions located in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia.

Adam Albright 2014 – working on the restoration of an undercarriage of a freight car at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

The Glen Foerd Mansion, Philadelphia’s remaining riverfront estate open to the public, was one of Greg Cornele’s restoration projects.

Dear Alumni and Friends:It’s been a fantastic year at Stevens in seeing the community at large working diligently to help Stevens achieve their campaign goal of $1 million. We’re honored to say thank you to all our alumni and friends for their valued support and dedication to the 2013–14 growth and expansion of the College. When we complete the Greiner Advanced Manufacturing Campus, we’ll know we’ve made a significant contribution in enabling Stevens to increase enrollment and technical training opportunities for qualified students. The technical career fields garnering student and industry interest are Machine Tool & Computer Aided Manufacturing, Metal Fabrication & Welding Technology and HVAC Technology.

A full calendar of ever-growing events has kept the Foundation and Alumni Association office agendas full with incredible administrative challenges in organizational growth, which is a welcome problem to have. Below is a list of events sponsored and coordinated by our office (from top left):

• The 4th annual Alumni-Student Bowl-A-Thon

• An informal gathering at the Lancaster Host Resort for the Class of 1964

• A spring Alumni Banquet that included recognition of 11 Alumni Award recipients and a special presentation to the 50th reunion class

• The annual Thaddeus Stevens Essay Contest for Lancaster City elementary schools

• Homecoming events that included a car show and football team reunion

• The 10th Annual Stevens Scramble golf outing

• Scholarship Awards and Donor Recognition Dinner

The following is a combined financial report of both Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology and the Thaddeus Stevens Foundation recognizing all financial gifts, equipment, and supplies donated and received for the 2014 fiscal year that ran between July 1, 2013 – June 30, 2014. These represent received in-hand dollars or items donated during this time period only. Other donations received after July 1, 2014 will be recognized in the 2015 Annual Report, next year. We are very appreciative of significant financial support of our many alumni, friends, faculty, staff, businesses, industries, foundations, organizations, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and other governmental agencies—state and federal—for the commitment each has made to Thaddeus Stevens College and Foundation during the past year.

Funding received from these financial commitments provides academic support, educational programs, laboratory equipment & technology needs, student needs and scholarships, upgraded campus facilities, and other campus wide initiative support toward the quality of education offered by Thaddeus Stevens College. College partnerships continued to grow with businesses and organizations this year, some of which are featured throughout this annual report.

During the past year a Three Million Dollar Capital Campaign was initiated to secure financial resources to purchase 4½ acres of land with existing buildings from Lancaster City. The property will become the hub for the college’s Advanced Manufacturing Technical Programs. Frank and Sharon Greiner provided a lead matching gift of one million dollars that was matched and exceeded by 216 donations from individuals, companies, foundations and an appropriation from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The new campus will be named the Greiner Campus.

In FY 2014 we submitted 76 grant applications to state, federal and private foundations representing 21 more applications than in 2013. We received cash or multi-year commitments of $3,034,775, which is more than the previous year. The College received a multi-year US Department of Labor TAACCCT grant of $ 2,507,468, the largest single grant in the history of the College.

Ten companies contributed toward the College’s K–12th grade STEM-related educational experiences: Adopt-a-Kindergarten, STEM Summer Experience Technology Camps for middle grade students, and Dual Enrollment/Early Enrollment program for high school seniors. Most of these companies donated through the PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program, with the largest donation of $50,000 from UGI Services supporting the STEM Summer Experience Programs for middle school students. Two foundations – Armstrong and Brossman -also supported our K-12 STEM Technology initiatives.

The Porsche Club of Central PA Chapter developed a new partnership with the College by granting two full tuition scholarships awarded to a student in the Auto Technology and in the Collision Repair Technology Program. The Club also purchased tools for each of the second year students and donated an older model Porsche to refurbish and repair. These were made possible from the proceeds of their Annual Porsche Club Swap Meet in Hershey in April. Stevens students assisted in the event. The value of this partnership exceeded $27,000 in 2014.

Numerous companies and individuals contributed equipment and supplies directly to a Technical Program Classroom Laboratory to assist the programs in the hands-on learning and student projects or campus needs. The value of these donations exceeded $110,000.

Individuals, foundations, and business benefactors invested over $111,000 in annual and endowed scholarships, the largest amount ever. These were awarded to 57 students.

Fourteen companies provided support and building materials for the annual Student Home Construction Project, which is part of our building trade’s curriculum.

The Stevens Foundation benefited from another Annual Golf Scramble at Overlook Golf Course with over $11,000 realized in net proceeds from the outing and silent auction.

The 2014 Annual Campaign included gifts from 570 individual donors, including restricted and unrestricted gifts, legacy gifts, annuities, memorial and tribute gifts and other support.

Other special grants during this year included a PA Department of Education – Perkins Grant, Act 101, Workforce Investment Grants, Technical Education Grants, and a Migrant Education Grant.

We express our gratitude to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the residents of Pennsylvania for their continued financial support of the College. Such support provides stability to our College offering a valuable investment in and opportunities for the students of this Commonwealth who may not otherwise experience a good education in pursuit of participation in a trained Pennsylvania workforce.

To all of our benefactors this past year, your investment as a partner with Thaddeus Stevens College strengthens our connections toward success. Thank you for your investment.
