Greetings to all of our fellow

Warriors!

We have had an eventful, exciting and fulfilling Fall 2022 semester and are proud to bring you all of the news from ESU in this edition of the Alumni Herald – which you’ll notice is combined with the ESU Foundation’s Annual Report, creating a convenient way to access campus happenings and the impact of your generous gifts.

This year’s theme, titled “It’s In The Giving,” gives us the opportunity to spotlight six of the hundreds of ESU students who are gracious scholarship recipients. The ESU Foundation secured more than $5.2 million in total gifts in pledges in the 2021-2022 fiscal year, which included surpassing the $1 million threshold in scholarship support for the third straight year. I hope you enjoy the student profiles as you learn about the experiences, goals and aspirations that are representative of so many Warriors.

A sincere thank you to all of our donors, whether it is supporting a specific campaign, a Warrior Fund gift, or creating or continuing an annual or endowed scholarship. If you are not among the alumni and friends listed in this report, I hope we are able to include your contributions next year! Your gifts make an exponential difference in our pursuit of student success.

As I write to you about the biggest happenings on campus, I suppose I must start a personal note, as I am sincerely grateful to have been named ESU’s 14th President by the PASSHE Board of Governors in early November following two years of service as interim president. I look forward to continuing to serve the students, faculty, staff, alumni, and all of our university’s supporters as we maintain and build upon ESU’s mission of providing high-quality, affordable post-secondary education to residents of our commonwealth and region.

If you were among the more than 2,000 who attended this year’s Homecoming or Family Weekend you likely noticed the construction project that is underway at the heart of ESU, which will culminate in the new University Center on the footprint of the Center for Hospitality Management, which included the Keystone Room event space. This beautiful new facility is expected to be completed by Fall 2024 and will include a large ballroom, bookstore, theatre, food court, and offices for clubs, organizations, and services in an environmentally friendly, stateof-the-art, four-story building of more than 150,000 gross-square-feet.

We are so enthused by the limitless potential that this building will bring to student life, a project that has been many years in the making and has had support across several iterations of ESU administrations.

The excitement continues with a national championship! Our field hockey team won its second NCAA Division II title in program history, following its first trophy in 2015, with a thrilling 1-0 win over Shippensburg in early December. The game’s only goal came with less than a minute left and set off celebrations in Seattle, the site of Division II’s Fall Festival, and back in the Poconos. We are so proud of these women and their reward for a season of dedication and excellence. Read about all of our fall athletics highlights in the Warrior Spirit section, including the induction of our legendary retired football coach Denny Douds to the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame.

As we enter the new year, please accept best wishes from me, my family, and your ESU family for a safe, healthy, and rewarding 2023. We look forward to all of the many good things in store for our students and campus, and opportunities to connect with all of you. We are proud to be in this journey together, Where Warriors Belong.

ALUMNI BOARD

MY FELLOW ALUMNI When you receive this issue of the Alumni Herald, Homecoming will be a distant memory and planning for 2023 Homecoming will be underway. I started Homecoming Weekend with friend and fellow board member Kate Kirkwood ’95 when we had the privilege to be part of the Remembrance Day Ceremony. I can speak for Kate and tell you that ceremony was the perfect start to the weekend. To the Warriors we lost, we will continue to celebrate and remember you and your legacy at ESU.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION CORNER by in a heartbeat and that living in a tiny room on the second floor of Hawthorn Hall was a dream come true.

It was where friendships were made that would last well beyond four years of college life.

Campus life was one of the most rewarding experiences I had. I was a student phonathon worker in the alumni office where Bob Kelley ’71, Brenda Friday, and Shelley Speirs ’92 changed my life. They, along with my parents, were the ones who taught me the true meaning of giving back. I pledged a sorority, Alpha Sigma Alpha, and it was through Greek life that I met my two dearest friends— Michelle Keating Sibel ’00 and Patrick Cunningham ’00 who, 21 years later, are still by my side. Twenty-one years have gone by in the blink of an eye. Many of us still gather for weddings, graduations, births, Homecoming and, basically, any reason to see each other.

On Friday evening, the Alumni Board proudly presented eight awards to fellow Warriors who made outstanding contributions since graduating from our university.

We honored Kristin Truglio ’91, Richard Vroman ’67, Rosann Merrifield ’99, Yewande Oladeinde ’07, Randy Detrick ’00, Timothy Weisse ’74, John Larry Endy ’66, and Emily R. Doll M’16.

I spent my weekend engaging in numerous conversations, from a daughter who came to campus to retrace her parents’ love story, to having the honor of meeting retired President Welsh for the first time. Somehow, on a Saturday afternoon in October, a parking lot behind a gymnasium became a treasured place where memories were made. I listened to many conversations, shared many laughs and hugs, and cried many tears. Everyone had a different story, but the one thing we all shared was this university. We talked about everything - our majors, Greek life, our dorms, friendships made, and how this little place in the Poconos changed our lives.

We have had the privilege of featuring alumni both on our website and in our monthly newsletter. We are proud supporters of three student scholarships.

IT’S IN THE GIVING Grateful WARRIORS excel

The East Stroudsburg University Foundation awarded 688 scholarships in fiscal year 2021-2022, making it possible for students to focus on their studies and extracurricular activities.

These opportunities would never have been possible without the kindness and generosity of ESU’s alumni and friends who selflessly provide philanthropic support.

Student scholarship recipients have hopes and dreams personal to them, but one constant remains – their gratitude for the financial support they receive.

College is about finding yourself, both personally and professionally. William Been originally planned to be a teacher. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he was working at a restaurant and became more interested in the hospitality industry. “I started working with amazing people who came in after losing their jobs in restaurants. I’d always enjoyed cooking and did it a lot growing up. When I grew into doing it professionally, I fell in love. I decided to change my program. The opportunities I’ve been given are unbelievable. Networking has been the biggest thing for me,” he said.

WILLIAM BEEN

A native of Ephrata, Pa., Been wanted to fully experience college. “I wanted to enjoy my time here—your college years are short,” he said.

“I became friends with lots of people, and as I got more comfortable, I got more involved.”

He joined the Theta Chi fraternity and sits on the executive board of the Hospitality Management Club.

loves her field. “During my junior year of high school, I discovered I had a love for the sciences.

This field fulfills my intellectual curiosity more than any other field. In science, you never stop learning. In biology, there are never-ending questions and research opportunities. I have a love of helping people. As a first generation American (her parents emigrated to the United States from Serbia; Gligorevic and her siblings have dual citizenship), I have a lot of respect for vulnerability and people’s safety. I picked up the premed concentration—I do plan to go into science, but in the healthcare aspect.”

Gligorevic is finishing her undergrad career almost a year and a half early and plans to take a gap year before applying to medical schools.

She is not sure of her medical specialty yet; that is something to think about during her gap year.

Robert J. Shields '55 Endowed Scholarship Choosing the right college depends on several factors. For many students, it often comes down to the financial aid package. That was the ultimate deciding factor for Anastasija Gligorevic. “It was far enough from home (New Holland, Pa.) but not too far. ESU took my dual enrollment and AP credits from high school, and I felt I could grow independently here, but the main reason came down to the financial aid,” Gligorevic said of the Robert J. Shields ’55 Endowed Scholarship she received. “As a firstgeneration American college student, I didn’t want to ask my parents for help. My scholarship has made things so much easier. I would say I was stressing about my financial situation and looking for jobs on campus. I can’t say how heavy the burden was until it got lifted.”

As a biology major with a premed concentration, Gligorevic has more schooling ahead of her. She

Gligorevic’s overall experience at ESU “has been super positive. 2020 was my graduation year and the pandemic. Online learning was hard in terms of the labs, but since being on campus, I felt welcomed. I got involved with the Pre-Med Club. I volunteer with cancer patients at the local hospital. There are always ups and downs with college, but I’m really sad to be graduating. I’m thankful to be here

them proud. Being away from home while dealing with death and family was difficult— probably the most difficult thing I’ve dealt with,” he said.

There were some bright spots during the dark times. The Skytop Resort Endowed Scholarship he received lifted some of his financial stress.

“I’m very thankful for the scholarships I’ve received,” Been says. “I’m motivated to keep going. College is expensive—it’s a struggle to pay for it, and this award has helped me in so many ways. It’s nice that someone thinks I’m special enough to get an award. I was shocked when I received it—the first words out of my mouth were, ‘I don’t deserve this’, but it’s also really special. It’s my motivation to push through with school as much as I can.”

While still planning his future, Been is considering opening his own restaurant or catering company in the southern United States—a mecca for anyone who loves food.

For now, he is focused on his classes and earning his degree. His advice to students?

“Get involved as much as you possibly can.

It’s helpful to have a relationship with your campus. If you don’t, there’s less motivation to stay involved with school.”

and navigating life on my own. No one from my area, and none of my friends, came to the Poconos for college. I thought it would be good to make a new start.”

Gligorevic is grateful to ESU’s many donors and those involved with scholarships; she urges other students to seek out and apply for scholarships. “ESU gave me the opportunity to get ahead. My award helped me out financially.” esualumni.org 7

CARLOS PEPIN

Class of 2022, Criminal Justice Class of 2024, Masters in Management and Leadership

Panaia-Soloway Men's Basketball Annual Scholarship Willard Stem '76 Men's Basketball Annual Scholarship Dr. Richard and Mrs. Jean DeSchriver Track & Field Annual Scholarship Peter Nevins M‘84 Endowed Scholarship for Cross Country, Track & Field Carlos Pepin looked at many colleges, but there was something special about ESU. “I came to ESU and fell in love with the environment,” he said. It wasn’t too far from his home in Lodi, N.J., and as a three-sport athlete in high school, the university’s athletic programs were appealing.

He started his undergraduate career as undeclared, but the criminal justice program piqued his interest. “I like helping people and being engaged with the community. I felt the criminal justice program was something that fit me. I have a brother in the Marines and an uncle in the Army—the criminal justice field seemed like something similar to the military,” he said. After Pepin earning his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, Pepin continued working toward a master’s degree at ESU. “ESU doesn’t have a master’s in criminal justice, but management and leadership is close to the criminal justice program, and it gives me the background for future leadership or management positions,” he said.

Looking ahead, Pepin is considering a career as a professional basketball player (he was the 2021-22 PSAC East Men’s Basketball Athlete of the Year) or a trooper with the New Jersey State Police. “I want to be able to give back to my community—maybe as an inner-school police officer, maybe with coaching,” he said. He received the Panaia-Soloway Men’s Basketball Annual Scholarship, the Willard Stem ’76 Men’s Basketball Annual Scholarship, the Dr. Richard and Mrs. Jean DeSchriver Track & Field Annual Scholarship, and the Peter Nevins M‘84 Endowed Scholarship for Cross Country, Track & Field. A conference champion high jumper in addition to his success on the basketball court, Pepin admits it’s been a challenge balancing academics and athletics.

“When I came to college, I had a few setbacks that could’ve made me stop. But it made me want to come to school even more—to make sure I was doing everything I could to set myself up for success. Throughout my four years here, I’ve met people I’ll probably know the rest of my life.

My experience here has always been good.”

The financial assistance he received, along with his pursuits in athletics, are Pepin’s main motivators. “Without the scholarships, I probably wouldn’t have been able to go to school—they definitely helped me out.

When you have certain scholarships and certain people pushing you, it just makes you work harder. If I’m getting a scholarship and not doing well, that’s disappointing. It makes me who I am today—someone is supporting me and making sure I have what I need.”

Pepin credits men’s basketball coach Jeff Wilson ’86 M’92 as one of his biggest mentors. “He’s taught me life skills like being on time, and how there’s a difference in being early or on time, and how first impressions mean everything. You never know who’s watching, so make sure you’re doing everything you can, the best you can. Don’t think something doesn’t matter, because it does.”

Class of 2025, Business Management

Stacy L. Perryman '97 Women's Basketball Endowed Scholarship Kenneth and Evelyn Long Women’s Basketball Annual Scholarship Of all the schools Isabelle Vogel visited in her college search, ESU stood out. “I loved the size of the campus, and the family atmosphere,” she recalls. A basketball player, she felt like part of the team right away. Her teammates were “inviting – I felt like the coach really believed in me and my well-being. It’s hard to find that sometimes. She truly cared for everyone,” she said. A Harrisburg native, Vogel was impressed with ESU’s business program. “Being a state school, I knew ESU would have a strong business program. I was attracted to it because you can do so much with it—it’s such a broad degree. I knew that by coming here, I would get a strong degree that could take me places,” she said.

Class of 1937 Endowed Scholarship Therese M. Macaluso '87 Endowed Scholarship

Vogel had a fairly smooth transition to college academics. “I took honors and AP classes in high school, so transitioning to ESU wasn’t that hard. We have mandatory study halls through basketball, so I have time to sit down and do work. I have my teammates to lean on if I need support in basketball or personally. Playing at the collegiate level is a big commitment, both mentally and physically.

I quickly realized you have to invest the time and manage your time.” She received the Stacy L. Perryman ’97 Women’s Basketball Endowed Scholarship and the Kenneth and Evelyn Long Women’s Basketball Annual Scholarship. “I’ve been blessed to receive a scholarship, which has allowed me to meet my teammates and coaches at ESU,” she said.

Her time at ESU has taught her to take risks.

“You never know what’s going to happen.

Sometimes you have to dive headfirst into something to get the most out of it. Once I knew I wanted to come here, I dove headfirst into the process. I welcomed everything with

open arms and embraced everything that was coming my way,” she said. “If I didn’t have such great people around me, I wouldn’t have the same experience I’m having. I’ve truly been blessed by the people and environment here.

I definitely made the right decision.”

College is more of a marathon than a sprint through four years for some students due to their life circumstances. This makes approaching the finish line even sweeter.

Theresa Wilusz began her college journey in 2012, stepped away from her studies, relocated to Pennsylvania from New York, then returned with a renewed commitment to finish her degree a few years ago. “Originally, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. When I got to PA, I got the drive to complete my degree. I was looking around for state schools, and ESU was one of them. It seemed like the perfect spot for me. When I decided to pursue teaching, ESU’s program looked really promising. The community was great—I’d never experienced a small college town. I’d transferred to two different schools—ESU gave me the sense of purpose and community I was looking for,” Wilusz said.

parents were immigrants. I didn’t see many people like me being teachers, so I said, ‘It’s my turn. No one else is going to be that person who is relatable to kids.’”

Wilusz was interested in history but not sure how it fit into her professional goals.

She chose education because of her job as a translator in a local school district. “It made me want to impact more kids and students in a meaningful way,” she said. “I come from a first-generation Latino community—my

Her steady climb toward her degree has come with a few challenges. “Mental health was a big one. I started my degree right out of high school in 2012—I’ve worked on my degree for 10 years. With the financial status, it’s a slippery slope when you’re 28 and trying to balance finding and having a job, a family, and school. It’s a hard balance.” The awards she received—Class of 1937 Endowed Scholarship and Therese M. Macaluso ’87 Endowed Scholarship—made juggling it all much easier.

“I took a step back from working every day to just focusing on my schoolwork. Now my biggest hurdles are to complete my capstone classes in order to graduate. One thing I’ve learned is it’s okay to take a step back. The people around you at ESU—professors, other students—are willing to work with you if you communicate. That’s key. Having a sense of community is so important, so don’t isolate yourself. If there’s a lot happening in your life, it’s okay to step back, then okay to push on.

Don’t worry about failing. You’ll succeed— there’s no time limit on success.” esualumni.org 9

In 2012, he also worked as interim vice president for finance and administration at Cheyney University in a loaned executive capacity. Long, who serves on various boards within the community and region, also serves on the executive board, as treasurer, for the Eastern Association of College and University Business Officers.

Long is the first African American president of ESU and brings over 35 years of leadership and management experience in higher education, including executive-level experience at public, research, medical and regional institutions. He is being appointed after an extensive national search, and will assume his new role immediately.

“As the ESU leader for the past two years, Ken brings both innovation and stability to the university,” said Chancellor Daniel Greenstein.

“He is committed to listening to all voices and to the success of all students. His tremendous experience at ESU and the State System, combined with his engagement with the community, will benefit the university and the region. I look forward to continuing to work with him.”

Prior to joining the State System, Long held positions at the University of Toledo and DeVry University, where he started his higher education career in 1987. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in math and political science from Drew University, and a Master of Business Administration from Monmouth University.

“We are confident that President Long will continue to move ESU in the right trajectory as is already evident from the positive results with our post-pandemic enrollment and great community relations” said L. Patrick Ross ’67, chair of the Council of Trustees. “He has strong financial acumen and has made ESU fiscally sound despite enormous pressures facing higher education in general and the PASSHE universities specifically,” Ross said.

IT’S A WARRIOR

FAMILY AFFAIR

During his time as interim president, Long made an impact on the community at large. In 2021 the Pocono Chamber of Commerce awarded him the Best Business Leader of the Year BIZZY Award.

Lehigh Valley Business named Long among their “Power 30” in 2021 and 2022, who are chosen by reporters and editors in the LVB newsroom and honors individuals who hold positions that give them the ability to shape communities and influence the quality of life in the Greater Lehigh Valley.

On campus, Long helped the university steer through the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, coordinated improvements in campus buildings and athletic facilities, maintained the university’s financial stability and affordability, broke ground on the long-awaited new university center, and helped drive the first enrollment increase in three years in fall 2022.

In 2021 he outlined 10 structural and operational actions and his commitment to foster a more just and welcoming campus community. President Long’s 10 Action Items were implemented throughout the calendar year and have all become an ongoing piece of campus culture.

“President Long brings a vision and understanding of diversity and inclusive excellence to our campus, and his proven dedication to access and equity is very important in higher education. In the past two years as interim president, he clearly has demonstrated his commitment to all of our students and alumni that make up the Warrior Family,” said chair Ross.

“It is a tremendous honor to be chosen to lead East Stroudsburg University as president,” Long said. “Having been part of the Warrior Community for the past nine years, I am humbled by the opportunity to build on the university’s 129-year history of providing affordable post-secondary education in the region.

The national search for the presidential position yielded 84 applicants. The search committee, which consisted of members of the Council of Trustees, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and the Board of Governors reviewed the applicants, with the assistance of RPA Inc. as the presidential search consulting firm.

ESU’s annual Family Weekend held Sept. 23-25, 2022, brought student’s families and alumni back to campus for a variety of events. A car show, drag queen bingo, Warrior Bash and an amazing race were just a few of the activities during the weekend.

CONSTRUCTION UNDER WAY AS ESU ANTICIPATES ITS

NEW UNIVERSITY CENTER

Demolition of the Center for Hospitality Management began in late July with the campus community looking forward to construction of the new 156,233-gross-square-foot, four-story University Center that will house a ballroom, bookstore, theater, food court, and offices for student clubs.

An artist’s rendering of the new University Center expected to be complete by Fall 2024.

By Fall 2024, East Stroudsburg University looks forward to a new University Center that will house a large ballroom, bookstore, theater, food court, and offices for student clubs, organizations, and services in an environmentally friendly, state-of-the-art building.

The 156,233-gross-square-foot four-story building is being constructed on the footprint of the Center for Hospitality Management, which included the Keystone Room event space, to replace the University Center built in 1968.

And that’s not the only thing rising on campus. Enrollment numbers for new students coming to ESU are back to pre-pandemic levels. Like many universities, ESU saw decreases in its student population due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But for the fall semester, new student enrollment has bounced back, according to ESU President Kenneth Long.

“Our new student enrollment is up over last year by more than 40 percent,” he said. “We are the public university of the Poconos. We’re doubling down on our efforts to make sure we give opportunities to students within a 50-to-60-mile radius for a high quality, affordable education close to home. We’re investing in the future of our community.”

The under-construction University Center will be better able to accommodate those students. The building is designed to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly and ESU plans to apply for LEED certification – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – when it is complete.

Once the center is open, the university will demolish the existing University Center and current computing center and convert that area into green space that includes an amphitheater so students can congregate outside.

Among the project’s green features will be an underground watering filtration system to take runoff water and store it to re-water the surrounding grass rather than diverting it into the sewage system.

The University Center will house an updated student bookstore and a new esports center. Other spaces are earmarked for an art gallery, a theater, student newspaper, radio station, student club offices, Veterans’ Center and the Student Activity Association, as well as a commuter student lounge, career services, the multicultural/international center, LGBTQ center, student groups and other organizations.

As East Stroudsburg University has grown, so have the needs of its students.

“We went from roughly 2,400 students when the old building was built [in 1968] to more than 5,000 students,” Long said. The electrical system of the old University Center couldn’t handle the demand.

“For example, we have to limit the use of different food service equipment in the food court, such as grills and the pizza oven, due to the outdated electrical system and building operating controls requiring on-site personnel to monitor and adjust,” he said.

The new structure will be easier to navigate and have enhanced digital capabilities. It will be adaptable to many technological advances over the past three decades including cell phone reception. “In several parts of the current building, you can’t get a signal,” Long said. The new building will also include a single location for the university’s information technology department.

The center will enable ESU to bring large functions back to campus.

In the past, the university used the Keystone Room space for award

ceremonies, celebrations of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the President’s Gala, the ESU Athletics Hall of Fame induction, new student receptions and other gatherings of more than 200 people.

But about five years ago, the University had to start holding many of those events off campus as the Keystone Room was taken offline. The new center will have a ballroom that can hold 900 people for lecture seating and 400 for banquets.

The project is expected to cost about $76.4 million and will be paid for partly with capital funding through the state. Other funding will come from existing student fees, a portion of which ESU has been setting aside for this purpose for several years, and retail services.

“Students pay student union fees and the students voted back in 2010 to increase that fee so an issuance of debt can be taken out to pay for this building,” Long said. Rather than taking on new capital debt, the university will borrow from existing internal reserves and replenish those funds with the student fee.

While the University Center project is underway, the administration is having conversations about renovating Kemp Library and the Dansbury Commons dining hall, as well as several of its academic buildings – all without incurring any new debt.

“The Fine Arts building is getting a facelift in the front to make it more ADA accessible,” Long said. ESU invites people from the community to attend its plays, concerts and other performances and greater accessibility will be key for senior citizens and many community members.

ESU is also expanding the video board in Eiler-Martin Stadium, which will make images easier to see and also broaden the types of events that can be held there.

Other upcoming improvements include a health sciences simulation lab in partnership with St. Luke’s University Health Network and Lehigh Valley Health Network, which will create opportunities for students and the region’s first responders to improve their medical skills.

In addition, a capital campaign is underway to build a stadium for the University’s NCAA Division II men’s and women’s soccer programs, and intramural sports managed by the Student Activity Association.

“We’re a university on the rise,” Long said.

Before COVID, only about five percent of ESU classes were online and 95 percent were in-person. During the pandemic, those numbers flipped to majority online.

“As we approach an endemic world, we’re looking at between 20-35 percent of our classes being accessible either directly, online or in a hybrid type format,” Long said. “We know many of our students work.

So, we need to create opportunities where students can continue to work but also get an education. Students shouldn’t have to make a choice between higher education and having a job.”

CAMPUS BRIEFS ESU RECEIVES SIGNIFICANT GRANT FUNDS

ESU, WIDENER SIGN JD DEGREE AGREEMENT

The ESU Title III Project will consist of four strategic activities: implementing a WARRIORfish Early Alert System to address students’ challenges and concerns, which will include faculty development; a Chatbot to provide students with faster, more efficient access to valuable resources and information from various university departments right on their phones rather than waiting in line at that department’s office; strengthening programming for the Men of Color Alliance (MOCA) and Women of Color Initiative (WOCI); and implementing a program of microcredentialing with digital badges and a First-Year Business Experience.

“We are very excited to enter into this articulation agreement with Widener Commonwealth Law School. It is a great opportunity for both of our universities,” said Margaret Ball, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs at ESU. “This agreement is designed to enhance our relationships and facilitate the development of other academic programs.”

ESU was recently awarded the Title III Strengthening Institutions Program (SIP) grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The $2,157,370, fiveyear award will be used for implementing and strengthening initiatives focused on students’ academic success and institutional retention.

“The fact that ESU was eligible is a reflection of the changing demographics of our student body,” said Christina McDonald, director of the Office of Sponsored Projects and Research. Forty-one percent of ESU’s undergraduate population identify as a student of color, the largest identifying as black or African American. Only 30 SIP grants are awarded per year nationwide, and ESU is only the second member of Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) to receive this grant.

ESU and Widener University Commonwealth Law School signed an articulation agreement that will allow students interested in combining their undergraduate education with a Juris Doctor (JD) degree to have a seamless transition from their undergraduate program to law school.

According to Christopher Brooks, Dr. Phil, professor of history at ESU and coordinator of the program, the agreement will give students the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree and JD in six years, saving them time and money.

FUANTA NAMED SOCIETY ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR

René Fuanta, Ph.D., assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry at ESU, has been elected to serve as the associate director for Sigma Xi’s Mid-Atlantic Region. Sigma Xi, the scientific research honor society, is the international René Fuanta, Ph.D. honor society of science and engineering. The Sigma Xi Mid-Atlantic Region consists of Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. His three-year term began on July 1.

Jeffrey Hotz, Ph.D.

As associate director for the Mid-Atlantic Region, Fuanta will assist the director with developing reports, coordinating attendance at board of directors’ meetings, and preparing for Sigma Xi national meetings. He will coordinate the regional chapters to get a sense of potential new directions and challenges and table them to the board.

Hotz’s research project, titled “The Fireside Poets’ Late-Career Masterpieces: A Study of an Era’s End,” considers notable late-career books by William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878), Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882), Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894), and James Russell Lowell (1819-1892).

ESUF 2021-2022 Annual Report and Honor Roll of Donors

Annual President’s Gala recognized members of

It is such an honor to be serving as the chair of the East Stroudsburg University Foundation Board of Directors. While I may be new in this role, my service to the board, and to my alma mater, is nothing new. I am now entering my eighth year of service and, with every one that passes, I am even more humbled to witness the incredible generosity of our donors. Your kindness and spirit of giving back seems to know no bounds as the ESU Foundation again crossed a benchmark fundraising year, securing $5,273,256 in total gifts and pledges during fiscal 2021-2022. What exactly does that translate to? It means a student with a desire to learn, grow and seek a college education can do so through the help of scholarship support. Last year, the ESU Foundation, for the third straight year, provided more than $1 million in support to deserving students. It means we can help ESU provide the best academic and university experience to every Warrior, whether in the classroom, laboratory or athletic venue. Over the past year, we’ve cut the ribbon to a new football locker room, construction of the Community Health Education and Simulation Center is nearing completion, and plans for a new soccer stadium have taken shape and fundraising has begun. Within the pages of this Alumni Herald magazine, you will discover the ESU Foundation’s 2021-2022 Annual Report and Honor Roll of Donors, an annual publication that provides us the opportunity to show the impact of your financial support. It also ensures we remain transparent on the use of your gifts and that we acknowledge and continue to steward you in a timely and proper manner.

I hope you enjoy the stories within as they speak to the value of your support. From the student scholarship recipients that grace the front cover, to the donor testimonials that touch our hearts, they all resonate the four words that make up the ESU Foundation’s theme this year - It’s in the Giving. I’d like to extend my thanks to members of the Foundation board for their continued eforts and service to ESU and its students. Also, on behalf of the full board, my gratitude goes out to Executive Director Rich Santoro and the Foundation/Advancement team for their great work. To President Kenneth Long and the faculty and staf we work so closely with to make positive change - thank you. I am proud to be an ESU Warrior and walk alongside all of you in the coming year. My commitment has never been stronger to achieve our fundraising goals and I feel confident that, working together, we can do anything.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

RICHARD D. SANTORO

With pleasure, I present It’s in the Giving, the East Stroudsburg University Foundation’s 2021-2022 Annual Report and Honor Roll of Donors. This year, included as part of the Alumni Herald magazine, we recognize our donors and share with the entire ESU community the incredible contributions they have made in support of the university and its students.

Within this report, you will discover the direct result of the selfless philanthropy of ESU’s alumni, friends, and families, culminating in the ESU Foundation securing $5,273,256 in gifts and pledges during 2021-2022. From that, we provided 688 student scholarship awards, totaling more than $1 million. Behind every dollar of scholarship support, there is a grateful Warrior who can pursue their college degree and achieve their career goals. You will find just a few of their powerful stories starting on page six of this publication.

It’s said the joy is in the giving and we feel there couldn’t be a truer sentiment. One example of this is the story of R. Bruce Miller, Sr., who in the last days of his life requested his son create an endowed scholarship to help ESU students in need. This gesture to help Warriors receive an education exemplifies the goodness in people and I invite you to read this inspiring story on page 23.

Two events highlighted the year that allowed us to celebrate the close of a fundraising campaign and raise much needed funds for student scholarship. The Warriors Football Locker Room Ribbon Cutting in April brought

20

together hundreds of donors and friends to see the end result of a two-year, $860,000 campaign. We were also honored to host the Retirement Celebration of former president Marcia G. Welsh, Ph.D., in June, resulting in $37,650 raised for an endowed scholarship.

Fundraising for the Community Health Education and Simulation Center was also completed last year. Now, with construction nearly complete, we anticipate students and the community putting the state-of-the-art facility to use in January 2023. We are so grateful for the donors who stepped forward on this project, shared on page 26.

Now well into the new fiscal year of 20222023, the ESU Foundation team is excited for all that lies ahead. Fundraising campaigns for multiple projects are under way, and the need for scholarship support never wains. Should you find yourself in a position to give back to ESU, we encourage you to contact us. It is indeed in the giving, and we are grateful to have you alongside us as we continue our important work for our current and future Warriors.

During his final weeks of life, R. Bruce Miller fulfilled his long-time goal of establishing an endowed scholarship to support local students in need.

By Susan Field

As long as Robert Miller can remember, his late father, R. Bruce Miller, Sr., of Stroudsburg, talked about the importance of providing access to education for the less fortunate.

“He always believed in giving and philanthropy. He supported charities that he felt did the most good in the community,” Rob said. “He always said that the best way to help the underprivileged in any community is to encourage their education.”

While he was still in good health, Rob’s father, Bruce, talked about his desire to donate money to ESU for a scholarship. After he got sick and was in his final weeks of life last spring, he prioritized moving forward with plans to support a local student’s education.

The Jean and R. Bruce Miller Endowed Scholarship, in honor of Bruce and his late wife, was created through the ESU Foundation shortly before Bruce’s passing on April 29.

In the US Navy , R. Bruce Mill er, Sr. served San Diego an in d aboard the USS Menard.

A Legacy of

“He felt good knowing that the details were worked out and this was going to be a long-lasting benefit to students—forever,” Rob said.

“My parents were so generous and kind. No one would ever have a bad word to say about either of them. It was important for them to leave this legacy to continue their spirit of giving.”

Having experienced hardship and financial struggle growing up during The Great Depression-era played a role in Bruce’s desire to help those in need. Born in 1926 in Ephrata, a borough of Lancaster County, Bruce grew up in Bethlehem, in the heart of the Lehigh Valley.

In high school, Bruce was active in the Hi-Y Club, a social club afliated with the YMCA, band, wrestling and track programs. Wanting to support America in the war efort, Bruce enlisted in the Naval College Program, where he attended after graduating from Bethlehem Liberty High School in 1944. Through the G.I. Bill, Bruce attended Muhlenberg College in Allentown, the Case School (Case Western Reserve) in Cleveland, Ohio, and Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.

In war times, he was stationed in San Diego and served aboard the USS Menard (APA201). Afterward, Bruce returned to Muhlenberg and graduated in 1948 with a degree in economics.

Bruce considered himself fortunate to have the opportunity to receive education support through the G.I. Bill, which is one reason he felt strongly about giving others a similar opportunity to access education. “He felt that a lot of people wouldn’t even pursue an education because they would be worried about economic barriers,” Rob said.

After the war, Bruce worked for Atlantic Refining Co. and Gulf Oil for 12 years in wholesale petroleum sales. In 1959, when one of his wholesale clients, Harold Stif, passed away, Bruce purchased his heating oil distribution business from Stif’s widow, Catherine. The business was based in Stroudsburg, where Bruce moved to operate Stif Oil Company out of its 161 N. 2nd St. location, where it remains today. Bruce served as President and Vice President of the company for the next 63 years of his life.

While in Stroudsburg, Bruce met Jean Blair, widow of Edward T. Blair, who died from Jean and R. Bruce Miller, Sr. shared 54 years of marriage.

injuries incurred in the Korean Conflict. She had two sons, Ed and Tom. Bruce and Jean married in 1968, and Rob, was born in 1970.

“When my father married my mother, my brothers were 12 and 13. He took the role of being in their lives very seriously. He never wanted to impose his will on anybody — he never formally adopted them — but he treated them as his own, and he treated us all equally,” Rob said.

Bruce’s dedication to the family business was an important part of his life. In 1996, he had the opportunity to buy a competitor, but decided he’d only do it if he had more help. At this time, Rob bought the company from his father, becoming president, and Bruce and Jean, who shared 54 made the acquisition of the years of marriage, led active, full competitor, doubling the size of lives centered around family and Robert Miller, his wife Laurie, right, and daughter Katie, at their home in Stroudsburg. the business.

Bruce enjoyed watching his grandkids play sports and other activities, and Jean “After I stopped vacationing with the family, my dad and mom continued enjoyed cooking and baking for them. traveling for as long as they could get around well,” Rob added. “Prague and Alaska were two trips they really enjoyed.”

“My mom was the best cook in the world! She made the best chicken à la king and stufed peppers. She was known for making Pennsylvania Dutch specialties: shoofly pie, and pumpkin and apple pie,” Rob said.

Rob describes his parents as having a great marriage, but they were very independent people—attending separate churches, and pursuing their own interests—yet always coming together to support each other for events and activities.

Jean was a life-long member of Zion United Church of Christ in Stroudsburg, where she served as president of the Women’s Guild, taught Sunday School, and was a member of the Consistory, the governing body of the church. Bruce was a member of Stroudsburg Methodist Church, where he was active as a trustee, served on the finance committee, and was head usher for many years.

Bruce was active in the community as an ofcer in Jaycees, the United States Junior Chamber, a leadership training and civic organization. He chaired committees of the American Cancer Society, the United Way, and the Red Cross. He was a long-time member of the Elks, Masons, and the Knights of Malta.

The couple supported many causes, including their churches, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the United Way, Salvation Army, and American Cancer Society, among others.

Bruce also enjoyed staying active by playing golf at Glen Brook Golf Club in Stroudsburg, and Terra Greens Golf Club in East Stroudsburg.

When Rob was a young boy, Bruce would take him to the ESU track to walk and jog, as part of a cardiac health fitness initiative program for the community.

Rob remembers that though his parents were kind, they weren’t soft— they were strong-willed, tough, resilient individuals. They resisted aging and lived on their own until eventually moving into Spring Village Assisted Living, across the street from ESU, in May 2021.

In September 2021, Jean passed away, just shy of her 94th birthday.

Bruce remained active in the family business up until two weeks before his death at age 95. In their names, the Jean and R. Bruce Miller Endowed Scholarship will support a student in need, and continue a legacy of benevolence.

“I’m proud of that legacy,” Rob said, “It embodies their spirit of giving and generosity.”

MATT FESTA SHINES FOR SEATTLE MARINERS IN RETURN TO MLB

Festa’s Mariners earned the second Wild Card in the American League with a 90-72 record, ultimately defeating the Toronto Blue Jays, 2-0, in the three-game series. In game two, Festa pitched 1.1 innings of relief to help Seattle advance to the Divisional Round.

After returning from Tommy John surgery midway through the 2021 season, former ESU right-handed pitcher Matt Festa grinded his way back to the MLB and was a member of the Seattle Mariners roster throughout 2022, from Opening Day through the team’s first postseason appearance since 2001.

Festa played a key role in the Mariners’ bullpen all year, better known by their fanbase as Los Bomberos - The Firefighters, a nickname that debuted back in late August.

In an 18-inning elimination game against the Houston Astros, Festa pitched two scoreless frames in the 14th and 15th innings, which included punching out Millersville’s Cas McCormick while throwing 16 of his 17 pitches for strikes. The game remained 0-0 until Houston, the eventual World Series champion, won 1-0 in the 18th.

On July 16, Festa notched his first career save as he struck out the side in the bottom of the 10th inning against the Texas Rangers.

Douds, the all-time winningest coach in the history of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, posted a 264-204-3 record in his 45 seasons.

He led the Warriors to nine PSAC championships, winning the State Game in 1975, 1978 and 1982, tying for the state championship in 1976, and adding PSAC East division titles in 1980, 1983, 1991, 2002 and 2003.

He is one of 15 men to reach 40 seasons as head coach in college football history, the ninth to coach 40 years at one school, and the fifth to spend all of his 40-plus year career at the same institution.

Douds coached 471 career games, seventh-most in college football history behind only John Gagliardi, Eddie Robinson, Amos Alonzo Stagg, Joe Paterno, Bobby Bowden and Pop Warner. He set the DII record for most games coached in 2011, surpassing Jim Malosky of Minnesota-Duluth (393 games).

He set the PSAC record for career wins in 2008 with his 213th career victory, surpassing Gene Carpenter of Millersville, and extended his record over the ensuing decade.

Douds mentored 24 Associated Press Little All-Americans, six AFCA All-Americans and six finalists for the Harlon Hill Award, including quarterback and his successor as ESU's head coach, Jimmy Terwilliger, who won the award in 2005.
