PENNDULUM MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of PennDulum is to help Central Penn graduates stay connected with their alma mater, present opportunities for alumni, friends and community members to assist current and future students, and to share ways that readers can get involved in the life of Central Penn College.
FROM THE
President
Dear alumni and friends, The college held its first in-person commencement ceremony since 2019 and what an evening it was! It was great to see so many students, now graduates, walk across the stage and receive their diploma. Like true Knights, they had persevered against great odds, remaining steadfast in the face of uncertainty, as they pursued their dream of a career-focused education during a global pandemic. That determination—despite the obstacles and unexpected detours—has been a core quality of our students and alumni for generations. And it prepares you well for the road (and work) ahead. Just ask Commencement Speaker and alumna Susan Comp who said this about her CPC experience: “When I graduated from Central Penn, I knew I had the confidence, education and skills I needed to succeed.” Collaboration Key to Success The college and UPMC have partnered to promote our Allied Health programs, including the Surgical Technician Diploma, Medical Assisting Diploma and Phlebotomy Technician Certificate programs. Students can receive full tuition reimbursement if they work at UPMC in central Pennsylvania after graduating. Visit www.centralpenn.edu/UPMC to learn more about this innovative partnership. College Baseball in Harrisburg The CPC Knights baseball team called FNB Field on City Island their new home, thanks to a new strategic partnership with the Harrisburg Senators. It was a milestone in the history of CPC athletics, as our student-athletes had the opportunity to compete and excel at one of the premier minor league stadiums in the country! Facility Improvements If you visit campus, you’ll notice some changes. ATEC has received a facelift, with the repainting and redecorating of the 2nd and 3rd floor lobbies and hallways. The fitness center also is being renovated and expanded, thanks to a generous grant from the Greenly Family Foundation. In July, the Conference Center will receive a major facelift, as we prepare for a heavy event season in the fall CPC Gives Back I am pleased to announce that the college’s philanthropic initiative for 2022 is Project P.A.W. (Promoting Animal Welfare). Pets can bring such joy. My family and I know this first-hand, thanks to Oakley, our Weimaraner. If you would like to support Project P.A.W., we’ll be holding fundraising events from now until December. You also can donate at: givebutter.com/ ProjectPAW.

KETING MARY MURPHY’S
CAREER IN MARKETING By Greg Colburn, Senior Communications Specialist
Making a difference and doing something you love sounds like the perfect combination for a dream job. And that’s where Mary Murphy finds herself.
As director of development for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region (BBBSCR) since February 2021, she is part of a team who finds mentors for girls and boys in the five-county service area of Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon and Perry. It’s life-changing work. In her position, Murphy gets to promote and market the organization by partnering with local businesses—creating and sponsoring fun events such as Bowl for Kids’ Sake and Over the Edge—and building key donor relationships through engagement and outreach.

MARK It’s a role she loves. She’s able to draw on her marketing background as well as her long history of community involvement. “I wanted to make an impact, and that’s exactly what I’m doing.”
Central Penn Experience
Preparing for the Workforce
During most of its history, the college had a strict dress code. The male students were required to wear suits and ties; female students were attired in dresses, slacks, blouses and skirts.
Her career journey began when she earned an associate degree in Office Communications from Central Pennsylvania Business School, as it was known then, in 1983.
She excelled in this professional atmosphere, majoring in Office Communications, a general college degree. After an internship, she landed a job at the Governor’s Office of Policy Development.
However, she initially chose NOT to go to college. “I was a terrible test-taker,” admits Murphy, who grew up in Camp Hill and attended Cumberland Valley High School. Her guidance counselor recommended that Murphy bypass college and head straight into the workforce, which she did.
Her path to career success was laid out before her. Do the work. Slowly but steadily climb the ladder, one step at a time, accumulating raises and job titles along the way until you retire after 30+ years… with a fat government pension. Sounds like a plan. Not for Mary Murphy.
It was an easy transition. Always industrious, she had a steady part-time job at Baker & Price Jewelers in Harrisburg after graduation, and then was able to increase her hours to full-time, eventually becoming a key holder and managing the store on Saturdays for 10 years.
She needed something more. She liked marketing—it was creative, exciting, something new was always happening. First, she started taking evening classes at HACC, as she prepared to earn a degree in marketing at Penn State Harrisburg.
She enjoyed the interactions with the customers, working with the owner to create and implement sales and promotions. “You were helping people at often critical moments in their lives— engagements, anniversaries, other milestones… what you did was important,” said Murphy. Add to that with every sale she knew this was enabling two small business owners who were like family to pay their bills.
“You need to follow your instincts, even if that means changing your mind sometimes,” said Murphy.
However, as time went by, she realized she needed something more. The job paid minimum wage with no benefits, and she was still living at home. “As much as I love my parents, I had a goal of moving out and living on my own.” It was time to pivot. Forget what the guidance counselor said, Mary Murphy was indeed college material. Her choice was an easy one. "Central Penn College had, and continues to have, a phenomenal reputation. Getting an associate degree in 18 months was very appealing," said Murphy. In addition, her family valued higher education. Four out of her five siblings have earned college degrees.

Back to School Eventually, she decided to quit the government job and attend school full-time. “The decision process was definitely different than before,” she said. “Working at the Governor’s Office of Policy Development came with status, I had a good salary, and great benefits.” “When I had enough credits to start my junior year at Penn State Harrisburg, that’s when I got my parents’ support to quit my state job and go to college full-time,” she said. “Majoring in marketing always appealed to me because there is such a wide range of area to work on,” said Murphy. “I could never have a job where you do the same thing day in and day out.”

While at PSU Harrisburg, she landed a summer internship in the marketing department at IBM, which was based in Camp Hill. It was billed as a three-month position; Mary stayed for more than two years. “They couldn’t get rid of me,” she laughed. She learned everything she could about marketing, especially from a leading tech company. She rolled up her sleeves and pitched in any way she could. One salient lesson that stuck with her… what you learn in college does not always transfer to the business world. It is a melding of both. That internship helped launch her marketing career in the tech sector, where she worked for more than a decade. She and her husband, Chuck Fissel, moved a few hours east to New Jersey. For more than six years, she worked at HP in the Enterprises Solutions division, holding numerous marketing positions. For her last five years (1996–2001) in the Garden State, she served as the director of marketing for Telecordia Technologies, which originally was Bellcore, an offshoot of the Bell System phone companies that the government had broken up in 1983. Murphy credits a large part of her success in the tech sector to her ability for taking common-sense approach, which appealed to the firms’ sales teams and customers. “I was focused on the benefits, not on the overcomplicated descriptions of the technology. How would a particular

a lu m n i ma g a z i n e
product save customers, time and money, while improving performance?” In 2001, Telecordia was consolidating operations and Mary’s position was downsized. Her husband Chuck found a new job back in Pennsylvania and the couple—and their young two children—moved back to the capital region.
Back in Central PA It was time to pivot again for Mary Murphy. She opted for a new direction… “professional volunteer.” “I was a stay-athome mom who was never home,” she laughed. “I was and am very passionate about outreach.” Over the past 15 years, she volunteered with two local churches. She served as the outreach chair for St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral on Front Street in Harrisburg. She helped turn the successful Great Pumpkin Chase—an annual 5K and 1-mile run—into an even more successful event, with a record number of runners at 750 and in total generating more than $100,000 in proceeds, which funded other ministries in the area. She also served as a board member for St. Barnabas Center for Ministry, where she was instrumental in turning the nonprofit around by obtaining grants, creating an annual giving campaign, getting the Center's first media story in its 20-year history with Valerie Pritchett of abc27News, and initiating the first annual Highmark “Walk for a Healthy Community.”
Leading with Your Heart All of those volunteer positions—along with her extensive marketing background—were key when she was selected for her current position at Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region. As director of development, she is focused on strengthening, building and sustaining long-term relationships with donors. “I often say I lead with my heart and not my hand,” said Murphy. “Having volunteered at a number of nonprofits, I know how many great causes there are out there. So when a company or individual supports our agency, I always thank them for choosing us.”
Mission Critical Work “Our greatest need is for individual volunteer adult mentors,” said Murphy. “We ask each volunteer to spend a few hours a month with one child in your community for a minimum of one year. As a Big Brother or Big Sister, you can make a real impact.”
Opportunity
The organization assists the children who need support, including those living in single parent homes, growing up in poverty and coping with parental incarceration. To learn more, visit capbigs.org.
When to Pivot Her advice to those thinking about making a career change? “Deep down, you usually know what the right thing to do is,” she said. “I’ve always had a solid support network, and I’ve always sought out their advice, too.” From tech marketer to professional volunteer to nonprofit development director, Mary Murphy has blazed her own path through the field of marketing. She credits Central Penn for getting her professional career off to a strong start: “From graduation to day to one of my first ‘real’ jobs at the Governor's Office of Policy Development, it was a seamless transition,” she said. “That preparation for the business world helped me be successful right from the start and throughout my career.”

THE YOUNGEST
GRADUATE
IN CENTRAL PENN'S
140-YEAR
HISTORY
Michelle Donaghy Earns Bachelor’s Degree at 17 By Greg Colburn, Senior Communications Specialist At an age when most of her peers are focused on completing their senior year of high school, Michelle Donaghy has already graduated—from college, that is! In December, she completed her final 18 credits to earn her bachelor’s degree in business administration from Central Penn College. Four months prior, she had just celebrated her 17th birthday. Yes, you’ve read that correctly, Michelle Donaghy earned a four-year degree eight months before she’s even allowed to legally vote in this country. As you may have already surmised, she is the youngest graduate in Central Penn’s 140year history. How amazing is that? But, wait, it gets better… During her 16 months at Central Penn, she took a full course load (15/18 credits) every term, while attending year-round, thanks to Central Penn’s accelerated, quarterly schedule.
10
PennDulum
a lu m n i ma g a z i n e
In addition, for the last year or so, she worked 30+ hours a week as a business analyst for Highmark. And if her schedule wasn’t maxed out enough, she also served as president of the Student Government Association (SGA) during 2021.
How Was She Able to Do This? From kindergarten through high school, Donaghy attended Commonwealth Charter Academy (CCA), a cyber school based in Harrisburg. Bright, curious and disciplined, she always worked ahead. “My parents were great motivators. They really encouraged me to learn as much as possible,” said Donaghy, who grew up in Mechanicsburg. When she got to ninth grade, she began taking AP and college courses, enabling her to graduate from high school at 15. A month or so later in July, she began her college career as a sophomore at Central Penn in the summer term of 2020.
In-Person Classes – A New Experience Donaghy took a mix of online and in-person classes, commuting from her home in Mechanicsburg. Her mother would usually give her a ride, since Donaghy doesn’t have a driver’s license yet, though it’s on her to-do list for 2022. “It’s something I plan on getting pretty soon,” she said.
After CPC was locked down for the last nine months of 2020, it was critical that the Summerdale campus once again become a vibrant and active place for students. SGA President Donaghy and her team were on task throughout 2021, scheduling plenty of activities and events to increase student engagement. “Michelle is an absolute rock star—I truly enjoyed working with her during her term as SGA President!” says Adrienne Thoman, dean of Student Engagement. "I was so impressed by her commitment and desire to be a voice for the student body,” continues Thoman. “I was so proud of how she collaborated with a number of other clubs on campus to revise and revamp CLUB WARS. We hadn’t held the event in a few years, and thanks to Michelle’s leadership, it came back stronger than ever!” In addition to Club Wars, here are just a few of the events Donaghy and her team were instrumental in planning and organizing during her time as SGA president: Movie Night Game Night Knights at the Round Table Fall Harvest Therapy Dogs for end of term
She admits to being somewhat anxious about taking inperson classes. “Coming from a cyber-charter school,” she says, “the in-person classes were new to me, so my first one at CPC was nerve-wracking.
Donaghy also has “a heart for service,” says Thoman. “She led the winning team in the 2021 Raise The Roof Campaign, volunteered regularly at our supply drives and worked with Caring Heart Pet Therapy to bring this valuable group to campus.”
“I wasn’t the first person to talk, but the small classroom sizes, support from professors, and peer interactions helped me become more comfortable in that setting.” She gives a big shout-out to Dr. Anne Bizup and Instructor Bob Wesoloskie for helping her overcome her shyness regarding those first in-person classes.
What the Future Holds
Those positive classroom experiences were transformative, motivating Donaghy to get more involved with campus activities. “I went from being quiet to actively engaging in class, clubs and other events,” she says.
Summing up the sentiments of many at Central Penn, Thoman says, “Michelle has definitely made her mark at CPC, and we are going to miss her here!”
As a college graduate at 17, Donaghy plans on taking a break from school for a while. She hopes to increase her hours at her Highmark job to 40 hours. And get her driver’s license in the near future.
Student Government A few months later, she would announce her candidacy for SGA president. She would run on a campaign of transparency… and she would win!

Central Penn College 140th Commencement Graduates’ Determination and Resiliency Celebrated “Don’t be deterred by setbacks,” said Commencement Speaker Susan Comp during Central Penn College’s 140th commencement at the Scottish Rite Theatre. Addressing the 160+ graduates in attendance, Comp urged them to stay focused, despite the challenges ahead. “Have the confidence and determination to get through or around whatever gets in your way. Then you will know how amazing you can be,” said Comp, who serves as the chief nursing officer for the seven UPMC hospitals in central Pennsylvania. Among her many academic degrees, she graduated with a diploma in surgical technology from Central Penn College in 1981. Before addressing the audience, Comp was presented with an honorary doctorate. In addition, six graduates and one faculty member were recognized at the ceremony. President Linda Fedrizzi-Williams praised the 2022 graduates for their resiliency during a difficult time: "While I am gratified at how well you have handled the challenges over these past few years, I cannot say I am surprised. After all, you are Central Penn Knights, and Knights are resilient." We
know how to adapt. We know how to accept challenges and push through them, and that is what you did. This year’s commencement—held on Friday, April 8, at 7 p.m.—was the first in-person graduation ceremony since 2019. The last two years, Central Penn has held virtual commencements due to the COVID–19 pandemic. The 2022 class of Central Penn College comprises 335 graduates, with 165 participating in this year’s commencement ceremony.
The Transformative Power of Education Valedictorian Leslie Heimbaugh talked about her journey as an older student. “Returning to college later in life was one of the most difficult challenges I have ever faced,” said the Perry County resident. “At the same time, I have never felt more inspired and alive. In many ways, I feel as if I have just been awakened from a long nap by an explosion of knowledge and personal growth.” The capacity crowd of friends, family and well-wishers cheered on the graduates during the 90-minute ceremony at the Scottish Rite
Theatre. Traditionally, Central Penn’s commencement has been held at the Forum in downtown Harrisburg, but that venue is currently closed due to renovations.
Graduating with Honors Approximately 42% of Central Penn’s 2022 class graduated with honors. “This is a testament to our students’ commitment to academic excellence during an extremely challenging time,” said Dr. Krista Wolfe, vice president of academic affairs at the college, who conferred the degrees on this year’s graduates.
Final Thoughts Reflecting on her career path since she walked across the commencement stage 41 years ago, Susan Comp shared this bit of wisdom with her fellow alumni: “The day I graduated was the day my career journey began. How I would navigate the twists and turns on that journey—and whether I would actually find success—would be up to me. But I left here with the tools, skills, knowledge and encouragement to find that success.”

CPC & UPMC Partner on NEW Surgical Technician Program Central Penn College—in partnership with UPMC and the UPMC Pinnacle Foundation—are working together to bring more skilled surgical technicians to the capital region. The new surgical technician diploma program will prepare students to work as surgical technicians in an operating room setting at hospitals and surgical centers. Students who successfully complete the program and are hired by UPMC will receive financial assistance up to full reimbursement for all diploma tuition costs. The 18-month, 42-credit program started during the spring term with 20 students. For the summer term, Central Penn and UPMC are entering into a similar partnership—with tuition reimbursement—for the Medical Assisting Diploma and Phlebotomy Technician programs.

Jobs in the surgical technician field are projected to grow by 9% from 2020 to 2030, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

FNB Field Becomes the Knights’ New Home The Knights baseball team called FNB Field home for eight games during the 2022 season, thanks to a new strategic partnership between the college and the Harrisburg Senators. “The Senators are an outstanding organization, committed to providing area fans a quality baseball experience for more than 30 years, and we are elated to be working with them,” said President Linda Fedrizzi-Williams at the February signing ceremony. “This partnership marks a milestone for Central Penn College Athletics, our students and the entire college.”
A Dramatic Win Marks FNB Debut It was a near-perfect beginning for the Central Penn Knights at their new home, FNB Field in Harrisburg—temps in the 70s, with a light breeze. Hot dogs and drinks at throwback prices of only $1. A large contingent of CPC students, parents of players, alumni, faculty and staff were on hand to witness this historic day, as Knights played at one of the premier minor league stadiums in the country. And then there was the game itself… a classic pitcher’s duel. Few hits, fewer runs… with the Knights ultimately winning 3–2 in extra innings!

CPC Joins New USCAA Conference It’s official! The Eastern States Athletic Conference (ESAC) is now a reality. In December, the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) approved the creation of the new conference, which will include Central Penn College and the following three institutions: • Bucks County Community College (Newtown, Pa.) • Manor College (Jenkintown, Pa.) • Williamson College of the Trades (Media, Pa.) Conference teams will play each other twice during the season starting in 2022.
CPC and Harrisburg Heat: Strategic Partnership Professional soccer is putting down roots in Summerdale, home of Central Penn College. Since late last year, 10 Harrisburg Heat players have been living in apartments on the college’s Summerdale campus, as part of a new strategic agreement between the professional soccer team and Central Penn. In addition, the Heat and Central Penn College Knights Soccer will collaborate on a number of programming initiatives throughout 2022, such as this joint practice session in early spring.
Basketball All-Americans Women's basketball player Tahniyaah “T” Jackson was named a USCAA 2nd Team All-American, with men's basketball player Tyler Hunter receiving USCAA Honorable Mention All American recognition. A senior from Philadelphia, Jackson averaged 17.7 points per game (ppg) for the Lady Knights to finish 7th in scoring for the USCAA D2. She also shot 42.6% from the field to finish 21st overall. Hunter—a freshman from Berlin, Md.—made a strong impression in his first year as a Knight, leading the USCAA in rebounding with 12.2 a game, while averaging 17.2 ppg to finish 21st overall.
Congratulations to T and Tyler for their outstanding seasons! 28

In addition to Tahniyaah Jackson’s 17.7 points a game, freshmen Dajahnae Brannon and Sidney Green both averaged 10.8. The men’s team, while competitive in nearly every game, finished a disappointing 5–13 for Head Coach Gary Martin’s first season. Brights spots included Tyler Hunter’s scoring and rebounding, point guard Nate Jean-Philippe’s leadership and double-figure scoring by Randy Dupont, Rodney Ross and Quadere Allen.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Doge, Oh My! By Jake Alinsky ‘05
There are so many choices out in the crypto world, but which one is worth investing in? You literally have a variety of over 10,000 different types to choose from! These are divided into three main categories: NFTs, Coins and Tokens. So, what does that mean to you? It means you need to do some research of your own. Each person has a different set of goals in mind when trying to invest. A few of those variables include the length of investing, what amount to use, an acceptable amount of loss, end price, etc. Here are some guidelines on helping you make the most of your investment opportunities. Each of these can carry over to other investment systems. 1. Determine your current financial situation. a. Do not invest money that you CAN’T afford to lose. b. Have a game plan. i. Length of investing. ii. How much to invest. iii. Affordable loss. iv. Exit strategy. c. Be adaptive with the market 2. Use a reputable broker/marketplace. Be wary of Facebook groups that reach out to you via WhatsApp or third-party websites! 3. Do your best not to be emotional when investing. Fear and anger will cloud your judgment and can cause you to lose more by making poor decisions. 4. Learn the technology associated with each type of cryptocurrency before investing. 5. Pay attention to who is investing in the currency that you want to invest in. a. Follow their social media. b. Understand that celebrities who are sponsoring any new type of crypto may be getting other incentives to promote it. 6. Cryptocurrency is not government-backed and normal federal regulations won’t reimburse you from fraud, scams or any other type of loss. 7. Cryptocurrency is open to being taxed by the government. 8. Set up alerts on your phone or mobile device to monitor the current investment. 9. Diversify your investments. 10. Be aware of fees when making transactions. Each platform is different. The above guidelines can be implemented in your overall investing strategy. I’ve tested them multiple times over a long period. Finding the right strategy for crypto can help you grow your portfolio.
