Internship students learning from Harry Matthew, Electrical Drive Technician

The Tower • 2011 Winter 3

Greetings,Strong partnerships with business and industry are critical for a technical college. We rely on our business and industry partners for a wide variety of support which includes: internship placements; employment; insuring our curricula and technology are appropriate and current through service on our program advisory committees; donations of materials, equipment and funds; plant tours; on-site real world training; guest speakers, lecturers, and demonstrators; and adjunct faculty.

One of our oldest and strongest partnerships is with Alcoa Lancaster. The fall edition of their publication, The People Magazine, featured an article which was a case study of their partnership with Thaddeus Stevens College. Based on my experience Alcoa is the model corporate citizen who actively supports the community through innumerable efforts. This active civic engagement and support has provided additional partnership opportunities for the College. The aforementioned article is provided below.

Alcoa Lancaster: Contributing to CommunityA Case Study on the Partnership with Stevens College

Workforce Development, Job Placement and School Education InitiativesAlcoa Lancaster has forged a unique partnership with Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology to expand opportunities for students, the community and the company.

Through a series of multi-layered initiatives, they are bringing together the high-quality faculty and programs of Stevens College with the leading-edge expertise and innovation of our Alcoa Lancaster team, and leveraging Alcoa Foundation community investment grants. This collaboration is helping youth and adult students broaden their job readiness and skills in math, science and technology fields and helping to position them for future employment in a highly competitive, ever-changing workplace.

Internship ProgramIn 1998, Alcoa Lancaster and Stevens College began an internship program for students training as electricians to gain hands-on experience at the Lancaster facility. To date, 24 internships have been offered at the Lancaster facility. Together, Alcoa Lancaster and Stevens College have progressively updated and strengthened the internship program over the last 10 years to ensure students receive real-world, cutting edge learning experiences in the fields of electronics and electrical technology. Through this training, Stevens College graduates gain invaluable hands-on exposure to the latest technology and practices, and a strong competitive edge in the market place.

Interns also get a first-hand look at what Alcoa has to offer and whether the work environment is the right fit for them. The program creates

unique opportunities for Alcoa Lancaster to attract, observe, train and recruit the company’s most important asset – highly skilled, motivated people who are problem solvers in their fields. The Alcoa Lancaster facility has to date recruited 16 former interns as full-time employees upon completion of their studies.

Adding Value to the Training CurriculumAlcoa experts share their expertise and energies to help review and update the electronics and electrical technology curriculum at Stevens College to ensure programs keep pace with changing technology and industry requirements. Reflecting the College’s genuine interest in receiving and incorporating industry input in its curriculum, Alcoa experts are members on the College’s Crafts Advisory Board.

Mike Umberger, Human Resources Training Instructor and Coordinator at Alcoa Lancaster has been participating on the College’s Crafts Advisory Board since 2000. On the Board, Mike helps the College develop relevant, cutting edge curriculum to match the operational requirement of Alcoa and other industries in the region, and he helped rewrite the internship program for the College.

Alcoa Lancaster also provides its electrical training equipment to the College during off-peak periods to help the College teach students how to trouble shoot. The electrical training equipment allows teachers to deliberately place “bugs” in the machine and gives students the hands-on experience to identify and correct the errors. Alcoa Lancaster conducts outreach events for students such as plant tours with former Stevens College alumni located at the work stations to provide guidance; and workshops to inform students about internships, employment opportunities and provide insights into the industry and the company.

This partnership also has wider benefits for the Lancaster community, helping to keep talented workers in the community who contribute to the economy and well-being of Lancaster County. Alcoa contributes to expanding opportunities for students and works directly to improve education in the critical areas of math, science and technology. And, the College produces graduates who are highly skilled, workplace-ready and able to contribute to the growth of the Lancaster economy.

Best regards,

William E. Griscom

Tech Phi Tech Alumni Dr. Vincent. Miles, Tech Phi Tech Advisor, would like to acknowledge the actions of Tech Phi Tech Alumni, for providing a meal for the students who stayed on campus over the Thanksgiving weekend. Our Alumni cooked and served a meal on Friday at the Branch Campus, for any student on the Stevens Campus who chose to participate. It’s great to share the stories that might otherwise go unnoticed. We are proud of our Alumni for supporting our students.

Good Luck Charlie!I have had the pleasure over the past 3 years to work with Charlie Sierer, a recruiter in the Admissions Office at Thaddeus Stevens College. In his ten years with the college, Charlie has traveled back and forth across the Commonwealth countless numbers of times and each trip brought him a dedication to the college and to the students that was unmatched. His continual support of everything Thaddeus Stevens and his true passion for his job not only made him my colleague but a great source of guidance and advice over the years and I am greatly appreciative for this.

On Friday, January 7, 2011, Charlie said good bye to Thaddeus Stevens College and hello to his retirement. He is planning to, in his words, “do the things he always wanted to do.” He and his wife plan to travel, spend time with their children and grandchildren and enjoy being out of the workforce.

Whether you worked with Charlie, were recruited to the college by Charlie, were given a tour on campus or just had the chance to meet him while he was at the college, you know he truly loves Thaddeus Stevens and supports it fully. Please join me in wishing my friend and colleague a fond farewell from Stevens and a long, happy retirement.

Get ConnectedNon-profits run with the help of volunteers, and that is why we were excited to get an email from Mike Brady ‘05 (Graphics Communication and Printing Technology) asking how he can get involved.

Mike has been busy since graduation working at RR Donnelley, a job he got as an internship while at Stevens. He got married and moved into Lancaster City two years ago. Mike has

also been keeping in close contact with his alma mater. During the ‘08 - ‘09 school year he was an adjunct professor during Dennis Dougherty’s sabbatical and he continues to help in the lab by teaching Print 101 courses through the workforce development program.

Mike has been helping with designing for the Alumni Association. He designed the annual fund letter along with the alumni dues letter and this issue of The Tower. When we first sat down with Mike we asked why he wanted to get involved with the Alumni Association. Here is his response: “Stevens gave a lot to me during my two years as a student and in an effort to provide incoming and current students with the same great experience, that’s why I am choosing to get involved.”

Another busy year has begun and we are already gearing up for our 20th annual Career Fair! Resume writing workshops are underway and students are preparing themselves for careers once they graduate. Our job here in the Career Services Center is to assist students and alumni with job search, internship/co-op placement, resume writing, job interviewing skills, and to provide a liaison between employers, faculty, and students with regard to job placement. As the demand for skilled technical workers continues to exceed the number of students Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology graduates each year, the potential for career success for our students is limitless! Although current students have taken advantage of this service, most alumni are still unaware we exist (this service is available to you as well).

Highlights from The Past Year (2009-2010 School Year)Career Fair: On February 18, 2010, Stevens hosted over 80 companies from across the state, representing 19 of our majors at our 19th annual Career Fair held in the MAC. Hundreds of students and alumni turned out to network and distribute resumes. We even had students who were interviewed and hired on the spot!

Mock Interviewing and Resume Writing Workshops: We visited each of the majors throughout the year to conduct resume writing workshops, provide mock interviewing opportunities and prepare graduating sophomores for their job search. We also brought companies on campus to interview groups of students for internships and permanent positions throughout the year.

College Central Network: Still relatively new to campus and something that is continually growing is an online service called CCN (College Central Network), which can currently be accessed through the College’s webpage via Student Services. CCN provides students and alumni with the ability to search Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology’s job database, as well as those of CCN’s own EmployerCentral.com job posting hub. In addition, students and alumni can upload and maintain current resumes allowing them to forward information to prospective employers immediately with the click of a button. For more information or to register, please contact me or simply go to our website, www.stevenscollege.edu/careerservices and click on the Alumni icon in the middle of the page.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 17, 201120th Annual Career Fair

10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. in the MAC Building

If you are looking for a job or would like to just see what’s out there, stop by and don’t forget to bring your resume!

On Sunday, October 24th, the popular ABC television show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” featured a project in Hamburg, PA. As part of the project, several students from Thaddeus Stevens College were asked to assist, specifically in the areas of masonry and carpentry.

Rory Worley, a freshman Carpentry Technology student from Berks County was one of about six Stevens students who participated in the build. Rory shares his experience on the project/show:

My experience on the show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” is one I’ll never forget. The time I gave volunteering to build the “fairytale house” was worth every second. Every day I was involved with the house, whether I was assisting carpenters, moving objects, framing or helping other volunteers in need was truly amazing.

I first got the call from my mother saying that my uncle (Robert Lukens) needed help to finish the carpentry on the project. The build was unique, because it was the show’s second coalition build in its history. This meant everyday contracting competitors worked side by side trying to complete this build.

Thursday morning was “the knock.” The knock was different because it wasn’t at the home itself; instead it was at a carnival an hour away. The blue t-shirt I wore signified I was involved in an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Marching into the carnival, seeing the Extreme Makeover bus, seeing some of the personalities from the show (Ty, Tracy, Paul and Leann) in person felt like a dream come true.

The next day was “demolition day.” Because the new house was being built adjacent to the existing house, the hole was dug Thursday night. I arrived excited and ready to go. One hour into volunteering I was working with Paul tearing up hardwood flooring to preserve it. When we pulled up the flooring, we discovered old linoleum flooring from 1925. We also discovered some old newspapers that were very interesting. Designers Tracy and Leanne joined me in reading the old articles, which was a great time!

The demolition was exciting to watch in person. Being 30-40 feet away from the excavators gave me an adrenaline rush. When I left Friday afternoon, I couldn’t stop thinking about framing the house Saturday morning.

When I arrived at 6:30 a.m., the first floor was ready to be framed. Because the walls and trusses were pre-fabricated, it was like putting a puzzle together. The first floor was completed in less than 45 minutes, and the second story and roof took the rest of the day. Framing with 70 other framers was quite an experience. I was always doing something, whether I was fetching saws, nails or plywood, sheeting the floor or moving walls - it was very fast. By 4:00 p.m. we were six hours ahead of schedule.

My final day of volunteering was on Sunday, August 1st. It was a mud fest! With rain causing all sorts of problems, we were pushed back to being “on schedule.” The roofers worked through the rain and mud to get the roof completed. It was such a long process, because each shingle had to be nailed individually. While that was going on, I was assigned to assist three carpenters with the installation of soffit returns. I had mud all the way up my pants and my shirt was soaked, but I continued to work.

I decided to leave the Extreme Makeover house late that afternoon, as the weather conditions suspended work outside. When I was walking to the shuttle stop, I stopped and saw spectators standing in the downpour with nothing but umbrellas. I thought about how on the previous day spectators stood in the beating sun, to witness the house go from just a hole to a framed structure. I realized I was a part of something special.

Looking back at the four days I was involved with the show, I can truly say it was a life-changing experience. I saw everyday competitors work side by side. Ordinary people gave what they could in such tough economic times to support the build. Whether it was serving food, moving materials or cleaning up, the house would have never been completed without the hundreds of volunteers who came out each day. Knowing how much behind-the-scenes work it takes to not only tape the show, but to build a house in only four and-a-half days is overwhelming. People stopped their lives to help a deserving family. The pictures I have from this experience will provide great memories for the rest of my life. I am honored to say that I was a part of the Extreme Makeover build in Hamburg, PA.

Rory with Extreme Makeover’s Tracy Hutson

Another busy year has begun and we are already gearing up for our 20th annual Career Fair! Resume writing workshops are underway and students are preparing themselves for careers once they graduate. Our job here in the Career Services Center is to assist students and alumni with job search, internship/co-op placement, resume writing, job interviewing skills, and to provide a liaison between employers, faculty, and students with regard to job placement. As the demand for skilled technical workers continues to exceed the number of students Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology graduates each year, the potential for career success for our students is limitless! Although current students have taken advantage of this service, most alumni are still unaware we exist (this service is available to you as well).

Highlights from The Past Year (2009-2010 School Year)Career Fair: On February 18, 2010, Stevens hosted over 80 companies from across the state, representing 19 of our majors at our 19th annual Career Fair held in the MAC. Hundreds of students and alumni turned out to network and distribute resumes. We even had students who were interviewed and hired on the spot!

Mock Interviewing and Resume Writing Workshops: We visited each of the majors throughout the year to conduct resume writing workshops, provide mock interviewing opportunities and prepare graduating sophomores for their job search. We also brought companies on campus to interview groups of students for internships and permanent positions throughout the year.

College Central Network: Still relatively new to campus and something that is continually growing is an online service called CCN (College Central Network), which can currently be accessed through the College’s webpage via Student Services. CCN provides students and alumni with the ability to search Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology’s job database, as well as those of CCN’s own EmployerCentral.com job posting hub. In addition, students and alumni can upload and maintain current resumes allowing them to forward information to prospective employers immediately with the click of a button. For more information or to register, please contact me or simply go to our website, www.stevenscollege.edu/careerservices and click on the Alumni icon in the middle of the page.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, February 17, 201120th Annual Career Fair

10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. in the MAC Building

If you are looking for a job or would like to just see what’s out there, stop by and don’t forget to bring your resume!

Be sure to follow us on twitter and friend us on facebook. It’s a great way to keep up to date with Stevens and reconect with classmates!

On Sunday, October 24th, the popular ABC television show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” featured a project in Hamburg, PA. As part of the project, several students from Thaddeus Stevens College were asked to assist, specifically in the areas of masonry and carpentry.

Rory Worley, a freshman Carpentry Technology student from Berks County was one of about six Stevens students who participated in the build. Rory shares his experience on the project/show:

My experience on the show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” is one I’ll never forget. The time I gave volunteering to build the “fairytale house” was worth every second. Every day I was involved with the house, whether I was assisting carpenters, moving objects, framing or helping other volunteers in need was truly amazing.

I first got the call from my mother saying that my uncle (Robert Lukens) needed help to finish the carpentry on the project. The build was unique, because it was the show’s second coalition build in its history. This meant everyday contracting competitors worked side by side trying to complete this build.

Thursday morning was “the knock.” The knock was different because it wasn’t at the home itself; instead it was at a carnival an hour away. The blue t-shirt I wore signified I was involved in an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Marching into the carnival, seeing the Extreme Makeover bus, seeing some of the personalities from the show (Ty, Tracy, Paul and Leann) in person felt like a dream come true.

The next day was “demolition day.” Because the new house was being built adjacent to the existing house, the hole was dug Thursday night. I arrived excited and ready to go. One hour into volunteering I was working with Paul tearing up hardwood flooring to preserve it. When we pulled up the flooring, we discovered old linoleum flooring from 1925. We also discovered some old newspapers that were very interesting. Designers Tracy and Leanne joined me in reading the old articles, which was a great time!

The demolition was exciting to watch in person. Being 30-40 feet away from the excavators gave me an adrenaline rush. When I left Friday afternoon, I couldn’t stop thinking about framing the house Saturday morning.

When I arrived at 6:30 a.m., the first floor was ready to be framed. Because the walls and trusses were pre-fabricated, it was like putting a puzzle together. The first floor was completed in less than 45 minutes, and the second story and roof took the rest of the day. Framing with 70 other framers was quite an experience. I was always doing something, whether I was fetching saws, nails or plywood, sheeting the floor or moving walls - it was very fast. By 4:00 p.m. we were six hours ahead of schedule.

My final day of volunteering was on Sunday, August 1st. It was a mud fest! With rain causing all sorts of problems, we were pushed back to being “on schedule.” The roofers worked through the rain and mud to get the roof completed. It was such a long process, because each shingle had to be nailed individually. While that was going on, I was assigned to assist three carpenters with the installation of soffit returns. I had mud all the way up my pants and my shirt was soaked, but I continued to work.

I decided to leave the Extreme Makeover house late that afternoon, as the weather conditions suspended work outside. When I was walking to the shuttle stop, I stopped and saw spectators standing in the downpour with nothing but umbrellas. I thought about how on the previous day spectators stood in the beating sun, to witness the house go from just a hole to a framed structure. I realized I was a part of something special.

Looking back at the four days I was involved with the show, I can truly say it was a life-changing experience. I saw everyday competitors work side by side. Ordinary people gave what they could in such tough economic times to support the build. Whether it was serving food, moving materials or cleaning up, the house would have never been completed without the hundreds of volunteers who came out each day. Knowing how much behind-the-scenes work it takes to not only tape the show, but to build a house in only four and-a-half days is overwhelming. People stopped their lives to help a deserving family. The pictures I have from this experience will provide great memories for the rest of my life. I am honored to say that I was a part of the Extreme Makeover build in Hamburg, PA.

The Electronic Sign Project

at Thaddeus Stevens College of TechnologyDear Alumni and Friends,Eager Hands Have Been Put to WorkThank you for the early donations for the Electronic Sign and Monument project. Your gift has allowed us to get a quick start on the excavation, footers and block foundation before the snow flies and a deep freeze sets in. It’s great to see the happy faces of our students hard at work, and it’s through your generosity we are able to commence with the project at hand.

It is Refreshing to See Such a Community CommitmentWe’re so grateful to our friends and for the overwhelming alumni interest and specialized skills they offered in helping us with our first phase of construction. We salute John Kurtz ’75 of Kurtz Electric, Steve Black ’84 of Land Grant Surveyors, Paul Hoffer ’76 of Hoffer Construction and helpers Dan Chambers and Bob Seuffert, Stevens Masonry Instructor Darrell Fisher and students, Gene Duncan (Facilities Manager), and staff. Finally, I would like to give a special thank you to Stevens alumnus, Russ Stofflet. Russ has over 45 years of experience in supervision of commercial and industrial masonry construction. He has willingly volunteered to provide project oversight in working with our students to the Electric Sign and Monument’s completion.

Every Gift Counts in Reaching Our GoalEven though we’re off to an exciting start in raising $40,000 of our $84,000 goal, we need the help of each and every one of you to raise the remaining $44,000 needed to purchase the electronic signage and construct the monument base. This is an extremely important project for Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. We need to work for an early spring completion, as we prepare to visually advertise our 20 career programs and a variety of life-advancing evening courses. This will certainly assist the College in its new marketing strategies. With your faithful support, we’ll make the date.

Come Join Us and Share the JoyWe hope you’ll share our enthusiasm and excitement in wanting to see this project completed. This can be accomplished by making a generous gift to the Thaddeus Stevens Foundation designated for the Electronic Sign and Monument project. The whole Stevens community has witnessed the groundbreaking and are anxious to be a part of each incremental phase of construction. Everyone knows the Electronic Sign will bring an immeasurable marketing feature to the College unlike ever before. Your financial gift will undoubtedly help Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology advance the mission of trade and technical training to the young men and women of our great Commonwealth. With you we can change the world. But not without you.

Without a DoubtWith your participation and philanthropic spirit, we can make great strides in reaching our $84,000 goal. You can make your tax deductible donation by check or credit card. Let this special project be a belated Christmas gift to your alma mater. Get on board and let’s make this campaign our first victory for Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in 2011. Don’t forget, for a gift of $100 or more your name will be permanently listed on a bronze plaque mounted on the monument base of the electronic sign in recognition of your support. Do you have any idea of how important you are to the work we do? Please don’t let this wonderful opportunity to make a supporting gift pass you by.

Thank you for your kindness and consideration.

Respectfully,

We had a wonderful pre-election drop-in visit from James Cawley, candidate for Lt. Governor. Jim received a Presidential briefing from President Griscom containing the historical background of our College and benefactor, Thaddeus Stevens. We shared our inspiring mission of service, institutional vision, a litany of technical programs, insights on our growing enrollment, our dashboard of collegiate achievements and the continuance of the record breaking demands for our graduates.

It’s most appreciated when our State’s leadership or those running for State office make those unexpected visits to the campus of Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. We’re proud to showcase the technical training opportunities we offer to the young men and women of our great Commonwealth.

Several times each year the faculty hold Professional Development Days. These are days which have been set aside to update faculty on the latest techniques, new learning styles, and academic organization. The fall 2010 Faculty Professional Development Day was held on Monday October 11th. The theme of the activity for that day was the update of Master Course Forms for all courses taught at Thaddeus Stevens College. These are forms that capture the basic information inherent in each course (learning outcomes, required textbook, learning sequence, etc).

Faculty were given a sample copy of a completed Master Course Form, and were asked to complete forms for all of the courses taught within their purview. Most of the courses were updated, and the “masters” are currently being entered into a computer file in the Vice President’s office. This not only helps with the organization of Academic Affairs, but will be a great help for new adjunct faculty to better prepare for their classes.

The College is reaching out to a new school in York. Crispus Attucks established a Charter School for students, who were in their senior year, from the York city and York county areas. Representatives of the school attended the Open House at Thaddeus Stevens College on Saturday October 30, 2010. Mr. Eugene Washington, Principal of the Crispus Attucks Charter School, was impressed with the campus, programs, and faculty. I am certain that the College will begin to see applications from students in their program.

Thaddeus Stevens College hosted a group of representatives from Hershey Entertainment and Resorts to discuss a partnership in a joint apprenticeship training program. HERCO is looking to begin training future employees in nine trade areas, eight of which are included within the academic portfolio of the College. Those in attendance were escorted through laboratories and classrooms. Members of the group were impressed with the potential for credit-bearing and non-credit-bearing training opportunities. It is almost a certainty that the College will be doing business with HERCO in the near future.

It is always nice to get financial support for the things we do at the College. This year the Carl Perkins Grant provided $116,506 for the purchase of much needed equipment in several of our program areas. In addition to equipment, about $20,000 of this money will be directed toward the effort of recruiting women into the various training programs for the trades.

The Pennsylvania State Department of Education established a mandated program of study (POS), in a number of vocational disciplines which every secondary vocational school must adopt. These POS address a wide range of trade training programs, many of which are resident at Thaddeus Stevens College. A few years ago, post-secondary institutions were asked to articulate their programs with the POS, to allow a continuous transition of secondary vocational students. At that direction, the College established articulation agreements in Carpentry and Collision Repair in 2008 and 2009 respectively. As of this writing, the College now provides a pathway for graduates in twelve different programs, and is 100% compliant with this initiative.

Investing in “Thaddeus Stevens Futures”

Your Christmas tree is down, the lights and ornaments carefully packed away for another year. The holiday music has been returned to the storage rack for next season. The brightly colored and wrapped presents have been opened, their contents stored in their places and your wish list filled. I am sure you were on the “nice list” this year, and experienced a wonderful Christmas filled with the joys and sharing of the season.

Our tree in the Development Office, however, is still up. It serves as a reminder of “hope.” Hope that Santa’s helpers just don’t stop the Christmas spirit at the end of December, but that it continues the whole year round.

Despite the support that we receive at the College, our needs remain all year long. Maybe it is a student that doesn’t have funding to support an emergency, or funding for books, tools, transportation, medical emergencies, a warm jacket, or other personal items. Or maybe it is a student that needs financial assistance to enroll or stay enrolled in the College and needs the financial help a scholarship would provide. It could be a need to secure supplies or replace that old piece of equipment in the laboratory so our students can learn on newer technology. Or it could also be a need for the renovation or expansion of facilities to meet our growth.

There are many opportunities for gifting the College, not just at the end of the year. A gift to the Annual Fund, of any size, supports the ongoing

activities of the Foundation and College. A gift to the President’s Fund helps meet the student emergency needs, support student leadership programs, and support other program requests around campus. A gift of a scholarship provides an opportunity to invest in student excellence. The gift of a grant could support new technology, library books, a new “ Smart Classroom,” a virtual tour of the campus through our website for prospective students, a new portal, computers for various departments, a week of summer technology camp here on campus, equipping a department or establishing a new “ Skills” Lab, sponsoring students in the Skills USA competition or supporting our Athletic department with equipment needs. The wish list we have is long and also on file with Santa.

There are many levels of giving, from a small gift to a legacy. If you are looking for a great return on an investment in 2011, I invite you to invest in “Thaddeus Stevens College Futures.” What are they? Our students and our College! The best invested dollars are the ones that are invested in changing the life of a young person. The returns are forever.

To acquaint you with the opportunities of giving, we have just published a brochure entitled “Gift Planning Opportunities” at Thaddeus Stevens College. I invite you to e-mail me at [email protected] and request a copy. We have a special gift – a Stevens College Travel Mug – for the first 25 requests. Or call me, and let’s discuss what opportunities exist that could be tailored to your interests.

The Christmas gift of giving just doesn’t end in December, its one that’s in our hearts and in our desires to invest in “Thaddeus Stevens Futures” throughout the year.

May you have a wonderful New Year!

Greetings and Happy New Year!

The Office of Workforce Development Continuing Education and Online Learning wishes all of our alumni and their families the happiest of new years.

The athletic programs at Thaddeus Stevens College saw a very successful 2010 fall season. Both the Cross County and Football teams had incredible seasons and many accolades to reinforce how well they did.

The Cross country team, under first year Head Coach Johnny Figueroa ’99 (Carpentry) began the season with a first place finish at the PSU Lehigh Valley Meet. Chad Barninger (Elizabethtown, PA) began an incredible season that week, with a first place finish; and three other Stevens’ team members finished in the top five. The next week the team finished third overall at the Johnson College Meet, with Barninger finishing in third place in that meet.

For the first time in many years, Stevens hosted a Cross country meet in Lancaster on October 9th. The host team walked away with first place honors overall, with three members finishing in the top five, including Barninger, who finished first.

The Cross country team capped off the season with a first place finish at the PSUAC Championships on October 23rd. In addition, four members finished in the top 10 at this meet. Chad Barninger was named the Conference Runner of the Year at this meet; and Johnny Figueroa, the first-year coach, was named the Conference Coach of the Year.

The team finished out the season with a sixth place overall finish at the NJCAA Division III, Region 19 Championships on October 30th in Brookdale, NJ.

The Thaddeus Stevens football team started the season with a very young team. Nearly three-quarters of the starters on the team were freshmen and new to the squad at Stevens. Fourth-year Head Coach Joe Wysock, stated before the start of the season, “We want to have another winning season, win the Seaboard Conference and finish undefeated. The key to these goals will be how the freshmen at key spots mature. I feel they will, but that first game will be a real test.”

The freshmen, including starting quarterback Frank Gaffney (Pine Grove, PA) not only matured, but proved to be a force to be reckoned with throughout the season. The team opened the season with a very impressive 39-14 win over Delaware Valley College. They continued to roll over teams such as George Mason University, Salisbury College and Wesley College.

The team once again faced Williamson Trade, the College’s long-time rival, on October 2nd for Homecoming. Although the offense took a little time to get started, the team ultimately bested Williamson by a score of 40-7.

The only low moment of the season for the Bulldogs came against West Point Prep on October 30th. The coaches and team alike had this date circled on their calendars, realizing this was going to be one of the tougher games of the season, and it truly was. The Bulldogs fell to West Point by a score of 45-21. This turned out to be the team’s only loss of the season.

The Bulldogs finished the season with a record of 9-1 and were once again crowned the Seaboard Conference Champions. This was the College’s seventh Conference championship since 2000, and the second under Head Coach Joe Wysock. With a strong freshman base hopefully returning for another season at Stevens expectations are high for another strong season in 2011.

Since the establishment of the Thaddeus Stevens College Athletic Program in 1910, many of our student athletes have distinguished themselves as leaders in business, industry, education and government representing a vast number of professional fields.

The Thaddeus Stevens College “Traders” or “Bulldogs,” as they have become known in more recent years, have represented many different team and individual sports since 1910. Today, the College fields five sports teams including football, basketball, wrestling, track & field, and cross country. Each of the teams is of championship caliber and is the pride of the Maroon & Steel!

Whether you are an alumnus, student, parent, faculty, staff, individual or friend of Thaddeus Stevens College, the Athletic Department needs your support to continue to provide quality sports programs that represent the College. By purchasing a brick or tile, you will help the Maroon & Steel athletic teams by providing uniforms and jerseys,

fields and facilities, sports equipment, transportation and many other items needed to operate our Sports programs.

Not only will your purchase of a brick or tile support our athletic teams, it will enhance the appearance of the north wall of Bevilacqua Field and serve as a lasting memorial to all those who wear the uniform of Maroon & Steel - past, present and future.

The north wall of Bevilacqua Field is the gateway to the stadium. A new colorful wall of brick and tile will be designed and installed by alumni and students, which will begin the enhancement of the stadium facility. This wall will serve as a defining signature of support and success.
