MARK D. MYSLINSKI ’77 It’s hardly rare for students to change majors during their college careers, but Mark D. Myslinski ’77 credits his switch with actually launching him on his eventual career path. After starting as a biology major, Myslinski switched to business after his sophomore year. With that base of experience in science and business, as well as involvement in the Amrhein Investment Club, he entered the growing healthcare industry after graduation. Today, more than 20 years later, Myslinski is using his experience in pharmaceuticals and healthcare—not to mention the intellectual curiosity that the liberal arts education taught him to foster—to lead teams that help oncologists solve challenging diagnostic problems. In addition to the contributions made to the medical field, Myslinski sits on the board of First Tee of the Lehigh Valley, as well as various research foundation boards including a publicly traded diagnostic company, MDXHealth. What’s more, he gives both his time and finances to the College that he says has been so good to him. “Without the scholarship I received from Moravian, I would still be paying off my student debts,” he says. “That financial support was very much needed, and I am committed to giving back to those who gave when I was in need.” The Leadership Council is an important element of that need reciprocate, and Myslinski says he is eager to see others take part. “The Council is only as good as the participation of its members,” he says. “It’s their involvement that makes it so special. Those of us who have been associated with the school take a lot of pride in having a hand in what’s happening. “The Council has goals to connect with younger alumni, students, faculty and staff—to make in-kind and financial contributions for the betterment of the school. That connection is helping to make Moravian College the contemporary institution it has become, and that is resonating with students. Seniors looking at colleges know what they like when they see it, and the 500 new freshman knew it when they saw Moravian.”
