FEATURES

10 Rooted in Unity

To truly know a person, you must delve deep beneath the surface to discover the values that shape the individual. So, too, is an institution defined by the values on which it is built. Here, we journey back to the origins of Moravian College and the men and women whose beliefs molded its character. Those foundational values infuse our purpose, our ethics, our community, and the quality of a Moravian College education today as much as they did 275 years ago.

12 This Is What 100-Plus Looks Like

Victor Weiss and Marcella Dimmick are among our oldest living alumni. Their ages total a cool 205—just a little less than the number of years the college is celebrating. In honor of our longevity and of theirs, we return to an earlier Moravian and see it through their eyes.

18 Then and Now

Founded in 1742 by a 16-year-old girl, Moravian is the sixth-oldest college in the country. From our humble but revolutionary beginning to our boundary-pushing present, we highlight many of the people, places, and events that mark our 275-year history.

26 Together

With its roots in both Moravian College and the city of Bethlehem, the marriage of Ken and Anne Rampolla of the Class of 1979 mirrors the relationship between the storied college and the historic town. Both are thriving. Together.

30 Making the World a Better Place

The 16th annual Alumni Awards honored graduates who, through their passion, make significant contributions to the community.
