life onboard

This year, Shippensburg University marks the 20th anniversary of the H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center. The vision of Dr. Tony Ceddia, SU president from 1981 to 2005, the center was designed to deliver a wide range of cultural programing to the region and enhance the academic experience for students.

Since its opening, the Luhrs Center has hosted full-scale Broadway performances, comedians, symphonies, pop and rock performances, children’s shows, and internationally known speakers.

Graduate commencement ceremonies, open houses, inaugurations, and more have graced the stage, making it a premier space for cultural enrichment, celebration, and community engagement.

Thousands of patrons have visited the center over the course of two decades, greeted by professional staff and a group of dedicated volunteers. The success of the Luhrs Center is made possible because of gracious gifts, volunteers, and valued patrons.

For upcoming shows and performances, see page 13.

campus Ship Exercise Science partners with Messiah University to offer new accelerated program

SHIP CHESS TEAM TAKES FIFTH PLACE IN NATIONAL COMPETITION

On January 2-5, the Pan-American Intercollegiate Team Championship was held in Charlotte, North Carolina, at the Charlotte Chess Center, where 47 chess teams competed across the U1800 Division. Through hard work and dedication, the Shippensburg University Chess Team earned fifth place in the competition.

Ship’s Chess Team members include captain Nathan Zeigler, Kevin Hemingway, Nicholas Effland, James Rhoads, and coach Dr. Dave Kennedy, an associate professor of mathematics.

The tournament is the largest collegiate chess competition in the world and featured top teams from across the country. Ship is believed to have received the highest-ever finish for schools in Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education.

Shippensburg University remained undefeated in the six-round event, winning over Ohio State, UMass Amherst, and UNC-Chapel Hill, along with three ties.

Shippensburg University and Messiah University have entered an exciting new educational partnership that will provide new accelerated program opportunities for Ship students.

Shippensburg University students can now complete a Bachelor of Science in exercise science at Ship and seamlessly progress to Messiah University’s Master of Science in Athletic Training (MSAT) program. These include both an accelerated bachelor’s +2 MSAT and a traditional 4+2 enrollment agreement.

The new pathway provides Shippensburg students the unique opportunity to complete a combined bachelor’s and master’s degree in five years by enrolling in the MSAT at Messiah after their third year of undergraduate study at Ship and transferring credits from their first year of graduate study back to Shippensburg to fulfill the bachelor’s degree requirements. Messiah University will reserve up to two seats per cohort for qualified Shippensburg students.

The traditional 4+2 pathway allows students to complete their full four-year program of study at Shippensburg prior to enrolling in the MSAT at Messiah. Messiah will reserve up to two seats for Shippensburg students on this pathway as well. For both pathways, additional candidates beyond the reserved seating may apply to be considered for admission through the standard application process.

“We are excited by this partnership with Messiah University for developing pathways from exercise science at Ship into Messiah’s athletic training graduate program. With options on how quickly they want to progress through their undergraduate major, students will be able to reach their aspirations while still experiencing the best of both high-quality programs. We already have interest from students, so this will hopefully be the start of a productive relationship,” said Dr. Sam Forlenza, associate professor and chair of the Exercise Science Department at Shippensburg University.

With a shared commitment to academic quality, student success and collaboration, interested students will be advised by Ship’s Exercise Science Department Faculty and have opportunities to interact with Messiah’s MSAT program director prior to applying to either pathway. The agreement includes mutual objectives of attracting qualified students, supporting their transition between institutions, and supporting innovation in higher education.

With this partnership, Messiah and Shippensburg aim to develop the next generation of skilled athletic trainers while offering options for students that are affordable, efficient, and supportive of their educational goals.

With options on how quickly they want to progress through their undergraduate major, students will be able to reach their aspirations while still experiencing the best of both high-quality programs.

Dr. Tim Hawkins leads team, with new grant, in research impact of warehouses in Cumberland and Franklin Counties

Dr. Tim Hawkins, professor of geography and Earth science, is leading a research team at Shippensburg University who are set to examine the environmental impact of warehouse development throughout the Cumberland Valley—particularly focusing on air quality. The project is funded by a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the South Mountain Partnership and will support the research of warehouse expansion, traffic patterns, and air pollution trends in Cumberland and Franklin counties.

The study will develop a timeline of warehouse development in the region, including the number, size, and establishment dates of certain facilities.

AROUND CAMPUS March for Humanity

On January 28, Shippensburg University hosted the 37th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. March for Humanity. This year’s march featured remarks from student leaders, President Charles Patterson, and Dr. Khalid Mumin ’95.

Mumin shared memories from his time at Ship and a message of hope and resilience with the campus community.

Mumin, the former Pennsylvania Secretary of Education, and award winning educator.

Also, the research team will analyze traffic counts on major highways and investigate how seasonal weather patterns affect air quality. Hawkins and his team hypothesize that the increase in warehouse construction has contributed to the risk in truck traffic—potentially leading to worsened air quality in an area that already struggles with air pollution challenges.

around campus

We were snow-happy to welcome students back to campus as they braved the cold to kick off the spring semester this January. Ship was blanketed with snow several times this winter and students made the best of it.

PASSHE and PA Bankers Expand Banking Internship and Careers in Banking Exploration Collaboration

A collaboration among universities in Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) and the Pennsylvania Bankers Association (PA Bankers) will double in size this year with additional professional and leadership development opportunities for interns and the creation of a new website designed for all ages to explore the various career opportunities within the banking industry.

The PASSHE Foundation was awarded a $250,000 Industry Partnership grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry (L&I) to expand the Career and Leadership Skills Academy from 75 students to 150 students in the summer of 2025.

“PASSHE universities are proud to collaborate with PA Bankers to give student interns real-world experience to prepare for rewarding careers and to provide the talent that Pennsylvania employers need,” said Interim Chancellor Christopher Fiorentino. “We appreciate the support of L&I and PA Bankers for the funding to expand this initiative to serve more students, and I

commend all of our participating universities.”

The Career and Leadership Skills Academy is a collaboration between Shippensburg University and PA Bankers that provides 10-week, live online sessions for interns of member banks. Through the program, students build fundamental professional skills in leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and networking.

In addition to Shippensburg University, the academy is expanding to include instructors from Commonwealth, Indiana and Kutztown universities within the PASSHE system.

The online sessions are led by experts in early talent career development and tailored to the skills and competencies required by member banks.

PA Bankers’ member banks have the opportunity to enroll their summer college interns in this program. Participating students do not need to be enrolled in a PASSHE university.

The grant will also fund the development of a careers in banking website outlining the various career opportunities in banking, anticipated salaries, career pathways and future growth opportunities, education and training opportunities and current job openings within the commonwealth. The career exploration tool will be designed for all ages—high school students, college students, or adults looking to advance their careers or switch from a different industry altogether.

The banking careers tool will be available to high schools, colleges, and local workforce investment boards across the commonwealth to provide assistance to students and adults looking for a career.

SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY NAMED A SILVER STATUS MILITARY FRIENDLY® SCHOOL

JASHTON BEST ’26

Hometown: Lancaster ❘

Major: Information Systems and Analytics and Entrepreneurship ❘

Year: Junior

spotlight on etc.

Jashton Best isn’t waiting until graduation to launch his career. The entrepreneur and owner of Mirror Flows, a multi-genre photography business, can be spotted all over campus perfecting his craft. You might catch him behind the camera at a basketball game assisting the Sports Information Office or setting up a fun photo shoot for his classmates in front of the library.

How has your business grown at Ship? Honestly, it just picked up as I got to Ship. My main goal, no matter what I was going to do was to make sure everyone knew me for photography. So, I was at every event and made friends that wanted me to take photos and word of mouth took over!

Why did you pick Ship and how has your experience here helped you to grow as an entrepreneur? I chose Ship on a whim. I was accepted into culinary school but Ship was the best choice for me financially. I’ve learned everyone has their own amazing stories so because I am able to listen, that helps me understand and learn how to level and communicate with people. Also, the location of Ship helped me in a networking standpoint. With DC and Philadelphia being equidistant from Ship, I am able to attend networking events in both cities without feeling inconvenienced.

You’re a pretty active member of the campus community! Can you share the ways you stay connected on campus? This semester I’ve dialed back on all that I am involved in. At the moment I am involved in the hip-hop dance team called UFO, otherwise known as Urban Flow. I also work at ShipRec and the Athletic Department helping with photos. I occasionally do videos and media days for club sports.

What’s next after graduation? Hopefully, I’ll be on tour with an artist! But if that isn’t the case, I will hopefully move to DC where I can put my major to work in cyber security.

How have your academic programs prepared you for these next steps? The Entrepreneurship Program with Professor Morissette has been great. He teaches a lot of entrepreneurial lessons which are life lessons to keep in mind. These courses really do push me critically and allow me to learn the path of connecting to people who might not think the same as me, which is amazing. The Information Systems and Analytics Program is good, but I am just getting into my major courses. I’m learning what it means to be a security analyst, while taking up coding skills and trying to do some background certification so that I am more qualified right out of graduation.

What inspired your interest in cyber security? My dad introduced me loosely to cybersecurity. He was in the Navy and when I was around like 12- or 14-years-old, we kind of sat down and talked about a 10-year plan. He was like, “well you’re good computers. You should look into doing cybersecurity.” So, we wrote on a napkin to “get into the reserves in the Navy and get into a cybersecurity job” allowing me to have the benefits of both and travel while working. I want to take care of the people around me, be there, and help wherever I can.

Do you have a strong network of support at Ship? Graduate student Samantha Juels has been amazing to help me bridge into the music industry and pushes me in the right paths. Since my sophomore year, Victoria Kerr in the Career Center has constantly made sure I am okay mentally and physically. She tries to help me get any opportunity possible and I’m extremely grateful for both of them. I grateful for my entire support system here at Ship with MSA and just my friends on campus.

Black History Month

Ship celebrated Black History Month with a variety of events that celebrated the contributions of Black Americans with an emphasis this year on the area of labor and industry. Dr. Stacey Pearson Wharton, dean of Health and Wellness at Susquehanna University, presented a program titled “Difficult Dialogue in a Divided World.” The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs and Residence Life hosted their annual Night at the Apollo event. The month concluded with a program discussing renowned chemist Dr. Percy Levon Jullian.

Ship Winterfest

The Shippensburg community hosted its first Winterfest on February 8 in downtown Shippensburg. The university sponsored a sculpture for the event and students took part in the day of food, entertainment, shopping, and more!

SUTV honors Women’s History Month with female-led production team

In honor of Women’s History Month, Shippensburg University Television (SUTV) continued the tradition of highlighting women in sports broadcasting. On March 1, the Women’s Basketball game was broadcast by a entirely female-led production team.

This tradition began in 2024, creating a way to mark Women’s History Month and encourage more female students to pursue the sports media field.

In 2024, the broadcast was positively received, with students eager to take on various roles, including director, producer, graphics, audio, play-by-play, color commentary, sideline reporting, and camera operations. Female students from outside of SUTV also signed up, showing that interest in being a part of the initiative that spans across the university.

In the ‘A’ final of the 100-yard freestyle, Gingrich posted an All-PSAC secondplace finish that broke Stephanie O’Toole’s 2016 school record (51.21 seconds). Over the final 50 yards, Gingrich split 26.40 seconds— the fastest second lap of anyone in the entire field from both the finals and prelims.

Overall, Gingrich placed third in the 50-yard freestyle (23.38), second in the 100yard freestyle, and fourth in the 100-yard butterfly for 81 team points while contributing to the 200-yard medley relay (fifth place), the 200-yard freestyle relay (sixth place), the 400yard freestyle relay (ninth place), and the 800yard freestyle relay (sixth place).

Carver, meanwhile, placed sixth in the 1,000yard freestyle, eighth in the 500-yard freestyle (5:12.87) and 12th in the 400-yard IM (4:41.86) in addition to her fifth-place “mile”—resulting in an SU-best 86 team points. She also contributed to three relays (400 freestyle, 800 freestyle, 400 medley). With her performances, Carver’s personal bests rank among the school’s alltime Top 10 performances in each of the three distance freestyle events.

WOMEN’S INDOOR TRACK & FIELD // Shippensburg claimed second place at the PSAC Indoor Track & Field Championships, with a total of 84.5 points.

Senior Sasha Lee was named the 2025 PSAC Women’s Indoor Track & Field Championships Most Valuable Athlete as the high-point scorer of the conference meet. Lee led the charge for the Raiders by winning the 60-meter hurdles in 8.83 seconds and the long jump in 19 feet, 0 ½ inches. She also finished second in the triple jump competition despite only one attempt, covering 39 feet, 1 ¼ inches for a total of 28 team points.

Fellow senior Nicola Pugge became the sole school record holder in the pentathlon, finishing second at the conference championships with a total of 3,370 points. Lee (long jump and triple jump), Pugge

IN THE WORDS OF…

HOW ECONOMISTS AND POLICY MAKERS THINK ABOUT INFLATION

Dr. Corey Williams, assistant professor of economics, published new research on the relationship between producer and consumer prices.

His study, titled “Which Producer Prices Lead Consumer Prices?” published in Empirical Economics, reviewed how fluctuations in producer prices, specifically those that are disaggregated (broken down into smaller groups to reveal more specific findings) by commodity type, impact consumer price inflation.

Williams focuses on supply dynamics and inflation, which he believes traditional models fall short on. “Producer price inflation fundamentally captures the pains that firms endure along the production chain,” Williams explained.

There were a few motivations behind his research. “The first major piece of motivation stems back to my undergraduate education in supply chain management and my work experience in the field.” While working on a previous empirical paper, Williams discovered plenty of research on commodity and industry levels but saw there was a lack of research on how disaggregated data influences how inflation is interpreted. Therefore, Williams extended his original research by breaking down the main components of producer price inflation.

In his study, Williams found there was a major difference between aggregate (broad data that provides a broad perspective of the economy) and disaggregated produce prices. He found that certain commodities, such as rubber, leather and plastics showed a one-way relationship where they could predict future consumer prices. This finding challenges the belief that aggregate producer prices always lead to consumer price increases.

Corey Williams publishes new findings into producer-consumer price relationships Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD) for Consumer Price Index (CPI). Each colored segment represents a different contributing factor to CPI variance over different time periods (horizons).

If we are interested in tracking the degree to which producer price pains bubble up to consumer prices, it would be better to pay more attention to the producer prices of these commodities rather than the aggregate producer price series on its own,” Williams suggested.

Another interesting finding from the study is the role of cause-and-effect relationships in predicting inflation. While the

majority of studies have found a oneway relationship between producer and consumer prices, Williams and his research showed that when it comes to disaggregated data, some commodities had a more direct impact on consumer prices than aggregate data indicated. This finding has the potential to reshape how policymakers and economists think about inflation and how to best predict how it fluctuates.

Williams is confident that his findings can inform future inflation predictions. “Empirically, I think the greatest contribution this paper makes is informing policymakers, practitioners and other researchers that there is value in utilizing these disaggregated producer price inflation series to better predict or forecast consumer price inflation,” he explained. Williams noted that his research leaves a lot of space to dive into the deeper question of why certain commodities influence inflation in this way. He hopes that future researchers will look at his findings and explore the deeper implications.

In addition to promoting his research findings, Williams also highlighted the potential of Shippensburg University’s economics program.”I think it’s a high-quality program. While we are a small major, I feel as though we see consistently high potential and ambitious students that always impress me. The faculty members in our department are truly best-in-class as far as pedagogy is concerned.”

Williams also recognized The Economics Club at Ship, which restarted a year ago and has had success in organizing guest lectures. The econ club also sent a student to compete in the Undergraduate Paper Contest at the annual Pennsylvania Economics Association meeting. The club plans to continue to send students to compete in the future.

Moving forward, Williams is excited to continue researching the relationship between producer and consumer prices. His study on disaggregated producer price inflation is one of the many examples of how his research has the potential to change the way economists approach inflation predictions and leave an impact on economic policies.

LAUREN NELSON

Director of Conference Services

Lauren Nelson got her start in event planning in college with student activities and residence life. She would go on to become a sales manager and event planner for a large hotel chain, but the “dynamic and purpose-driven atmosphere” of higher education led her back to her roots as the director of Conference Services at Shippensburg University. Each year, she coordinates the influx of thousands of visitors to campus, in a role she says allows her with the rewarding experience of “working for students.”

Q/What is Conference Services at Ship?

Conference Services manages all external use of University spaces, including the Conference Center. Whether a company wants to host a meeting in the CUB, a conference at the Conference Center, or a reception in Stewart Hall, I work closely with clients to book space and coordinate setup, AV, and catering needs. Additionally, we facilitate large summer conferences, bringing hundreds of guests to campus to stay in our residence halls, dine in our facilities, meet in classrooms, and utilize our sports fields. I also oversee the summer camps office, organizing a variety of SU-run summer camps through Conference Services.

How did you get into this line of work? After graduating, I became a sales manager for a Radisson hotel, planning and executing meetings and events for various clients. That’s when I discovered conference and event services in higher ed—an industry that allows me to merge my passion for event planning with my love for university life. Over a decade later, I’m still here, and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else!

What is the most rewarding part of your job? I often say, “I don’t work with students, I work for students.” While I may not directly interact with students every day, the work I do generates non-tuition revenue that supports the university’s mission and student experience. I know that every event and conference I bring to campus contributes to something bigger. That’s what makes my work so fulfilling.

What is the most challenging part of your job? The sheer scale of what we accomplish! Summer is my busiest time—I hit the ground running after graduation and don’t stop until August 1. In about 75 days, my office coordinates 39 camps, conferences, and rental events, welcoming over 6,100 overnight guests. They consume more than 54,000 meals, utilize our fields and classrooms, and make lasting memories at Ship. Some groups have been coming for over 45 years—we are a part of their family’s or organization’s history.

It takes a village to make those 75 days work. I plan year-round for this window of time, and when summer comes, that village— Student Affairs, Housing, Dining Services, IT, Athletics, Facilities, Public Safety, and so many others—comes together to execute it all. I may be an office of one, but I’m part of a team of many.

How many campers does Ship host annually? Our SU-run summer camps welcomed over 1,600 campers last year, and we aim to grow that number each year.

How many conferences/rentals do you accommodate? Between camps, rentals, and the Conference Center, I host around 110 events annually. This summer alone, we’ll have 16 internal SU camps and 23 external conferences and events.

What kinds of spaces are available for use on campus? We offer a variety of rental spaces to accommodate events of all types—meetings, weddings, conferences, retirement parties, celebrations of life, and more. Popular venues include Stewart Hall, the Conference Center, the Tuscarora Room, CUB spaces, Memorial Auditorium, Heiges Field House, sports fields, and the Spiritual Center. But I love thinking creatively! If someone has a vision for their event, I’m always happy to find a space that brings it to life.

What is your favorite annual event or conference Ship hosts each year? Hands down, the PIAA Track and Field Championships, held every Memorial Day weekend. The 2025 event will mark its 49th year at Ship. It’s one of those events that feels automagical—my made-up word to describe something that takes an extraordinary amount of behind-the-scenes effort yet somehow comes together seamlessly. Every department on campus plays a role, from housing 2,000 athletes, coaches, and officials in our residence halls to welcoming thousands more spectators. It’s a massive undertaking, but watching it unfold each year is nothing short of incredible.

What’s your favorite part of working at Ship? The people. The camaraderie, teamwork, and sheer determination of the Ship staff are inspiring. Higher education is a challenging industry right now, but instead of backing down, this team digs in, problem-solves, and pushes forward. Being surrounded by that kind of grit and resilience makes me excited to come to work every day and be part of the journey forward.

A MINUTE WITH…

I know that every event and conference I bring to campus contributes to something bigger. That’s what makes my work so fulfilling.

When Chad Lesher ’94 saw a flyer on campus for the Shippensburg University Boxing Club, he thought joining might be a good way to stay in shape and get involved on campus.

“It sounds melodramatic when I discuss the impact the boxing club had on me, but it was transformational. It helped me develop discipline within myself and began the process of not being intimidated by a challenging situation,” said Lesher.

It was an entirely new experience for Lesher, but the Boxing Club wasn’t at all new to Ship at the time. The club was officially recognized in the 1970s by the university and the National Collegiate Boxing Association. But the sport of

Former Eastern Collegiate Boxing Association champion Rick Harpel ’80 said in a March 1980 press release from Shippensburg University that boxing gave him confidence and the right “mental attitude.”

Greg Grimm ’79, was a founding member of the Shippensburg University Boxing Club and the university’s first National Collegiate Boxing Association National Champion.

Grimm was in his first year of formal training when he took the 125-pound championship title, and much like Lesher, views the experience with the club as one that transformed his future.

“I got my first job out of college because

Boxing didn’t land Lesher a job but the now president and owner of CSL Materials based in Dallas, Texas has carried many of the lessons from the ring into his career.

The road to starting his own business wasn’t an easy one. It came with long hours, lots of travel, and of course unexpected setbacks along the way. Lesher learned a lot about preparedness and determination in his days with the club, and the importance of getting back in the fight whenever he was knocked down.

“The sport of boxing combines strategy, endurance, and fortitude unlike anything I have ever experienced. Some fights put me on the brink of wanting to throw up, take a knee, or just not get up from the stool between rounds. But having those moments is what makes boxers such unique athletes because from bell to bell, any lapse in judgement or technique can have you

laid-out. Defeat in collegiate boxing is so agonizing because of all that goes into those three rounds. But when you are able to get a victory, it drives you even more to go get another win next weekend,” explained Lesher.

Much like Lesher, the boxing club itself has had a bit of a transformational experience in recent years.

Like most contact sports, the COVID19 pandemic greatly impacted the club’s ability to recruit, practice, and compete. For several years, the club was limited to outdoor practices that consisted of conditioning, but no sparring or competition. Around this time the club’s long-time coach Travis Wylie moved on from coaching after volunteering a great deal of his time with the club members.

The club lost its membership with USA Boxing and the National Collegiate Boxing Association.

Dr. Matt Fetzer, professor of criminal justice, was the club’s faculty advisor at the time and when he tried to reestablish the club, he discovered a coach was required to return to membership.

“They suggested that I do it, so I completed my training, passed my exams, and earned my coaching certification for boxing,” explained Fetzer.

One of Fetzer’s first goals for the newly established club, beyond recruitment, was to improve the club’s practice facilities. For decades, boxing was housed in basement of Henderson Gym. Fetzer reached out to the Athletic Department looking to expand

their space and they graciously offered some in Heiges Field House.

Two converted squash courts now serve as a ring room for sparing practices. A bag room holds several heavy bags, doubleended bag, a reflex bag, and some weight equipment.

“As soon as I got the club’s membership reestablished, I received several phone calls and e-mails from other coaches saying, ‘Welcome back Ship!’ Everyone was happy to hear the club was back and offered their support,” said Fetzer.

With a new location and a coach in place, the club is back on solid ground with 32 active members, including both male and female students.

“Some students have prior experience; others are new to the sport. Some are looking to workout. A handful have taken the big step and compete against students from other schools,” said Fetzer.

Those schools include Penn State, University of Connecticut, US Naval Academy, and US Military Academy.

“These students come from all different backgrounds and develop bonds and friendships from their shared experiences with the club. It’s great to see,” said Fetzer.

And just like the past members of the boxing club, students are finding the experience to be a transformational one.

Junior computer engineering major and Boxing Club vice president Gavin Thomas decided to join the club after attending a club fair on campus; much like Lesher, found it to be much more than just punching a heavy bag.

“Boxing has instilled a discipline like no other. The structure that it has created in my life will benefit me for the rest of my life,” said Thomas.

Fetzer, Thomas, and the club members have big goals, not only for themselves now, but for the future of the club.

“I have two major goals for the club. I would like to host a large-scale fundraising event and I would like to host a home show for other colleges to come to Ship and compete,” said Thomas.

“The goals of the club are to venture into overnight travel to make it to more competitions, and to once again host our home invitational at Ship. We’ll get there,” shared Fetzer.

Transformation is a never-ending process of change, and for the club itself and the members, it is a defining and long-lasting trait of the program that is ever present.

HUSTLE on the Sidelines

Mackenzie Mitchell ’22 shared her experience as part of the FOX Sports production team, working on the sidelines with some of the biggest names in sports broadcasting for the NFC Championship and Super Bowl LIX.

As Mackenzie Mitchell stood at Lincoln Financial Field watching the celebration around the 2024 NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles, the confetti falling caught her attention. The small, colorful pieces caused her to pause and think about how she got there, realizing the moment wasn’t just for her, it was for everyone who helped her get to this unbelievable place in her career.

Mitchell got her start with FOX Sports as a sophomore communication journalism

major at Ship. In 2019 she shadowed, then lead director of photography, Skip Clark, for a game between NFL rivals Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. It was an opportunity that not only gave her a glimpse into the world of sideline sports coverage but set in motion valuable opportunities.

“From there, I networked and formed genuine relationships with the right people,” said Mitchell.

She would spend the next three years at Shippensburg University expanding her network and capitalizing on every opportunity she was offered.

“I am where I am because of the village I formed at Ship,” said Mitchell.

As a member of the SU Women’s Soccer team, Mitchell learned the value of teamwork, resilience, time management, and staying calm under pressure.

“I ended my collegiate soccer career as a better person than when I started. This is something Coach Rob Fulton said would happen to me when I first got recruited to go to Ship. Those four years of development were crucial to who I am. I bring characteristics necessary of being a collegiate athlete with me in everything that I do,” she said.

Beyond the soccer field, Mitchell was a member of several clubs, including SUTV, which she credits of giving her a lot of confidence to pursue a career in the sports broadcast industry.

Working in the studio, as a sideline reporter, sports anchor, and sports director with SUTV helped prepare her for numerous internships, on and off campus. She worked in the university’s Office of Communications and Marketing, filmed and photographed the SU Football team, and supported the Sports Information crew entering stats, operating cameras, and commentating during broadcasts.

I networked and formed genuine relationships with the right people. I am where I am because of the village I formed at Ship.”

During this time, she also interned as a content curator for Rem and Company and started her own online apparel company called Kenz Creations.

“I am a hustler. It makes me who I am! People like control and my effort is something I can control. I will never let anyone outwork me, I can promise you that,” she said.

After graduation, Mitchell landed at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana pursuing a Master of Science in sports administration and sport coaching in the School of Professional Advancement.

In New Orleans, she found herself once again presented with the opportunity to work with FOX Sports, this time assisting with coverage of the New Orleans Saints’

games. Her first game in the Superdome was when she met and first worked directly with award-winning sportscaster Erin Andrews.

Assisting Andrews throughout the day, Mitchell impressed the sportscaster so much, the door to more opportunities quickly opened.

More NFL games and interviews followed and suddenly Mitchell found herself as a regular with FOX Sports. After graduating from Tulane, she returned home to the Philadelphia area.

Still hustling, she started her own photography business and landed a fulltime position with Victus Sports as a content creator and social media specialist. She continued her work with FOX Sports, but now at Lincoln Financial Field for home Eagles games, including the NFC Championship game.

The Big Game

Her day started at 4:45am with crew call and a long list of pregame tasks, including retrieving the on-air talent and getting them settled at the production truck and green room. From there, she was a game day assistant to the talent. This talent included big names like Tom Rinaldi, Erin Andrews, and seven-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady.

“I am always in an arm’s reach of the talent simply to help them with anything that they need. I make sure people don’t walk in front of them or the camera when they’re doing their pregame hit, hold their notecards, pens and notebooks, and I observe players in warmups in case they miss anything and to learn from them,” she explained.

For game time she was assigned to the Commanders sideline with Tom Rinaldi.

“I had an IFB earpiece so I could listen to what the talent are saying. It is super insightful to hear the things they say in the booth as well as the other sideline reporters,” she said.

She managed any wardrobe issues, equipment, and any unexpected needs that came her way. Beyond this, on the sidelines it was her job to be focused and aware of everything that was happening around her. From hearing sideline conversations between players, observing player body

green room, booth, etc. need to be broken down as fast and efficiently as possible so it can get onto the truck. Once the trucks are packed, they’re off to the next game destination to begin the next set-up in a different city,” she said.

With the confetti still tucked in her pocket, she headed home to catch some sleep before heading back to her full-time job in the morning. Never slowing down on her hustle mentality, she was also preparing for yet another exciting opportunity with FOX Sports, Super Bowl LIX.

“I got a message confirming that I got the gig and ended it by saying, ‘You came highly recommended by Erin Andrews.’ It was a huge honor to have been recommended for a job by the person in the industry I looked up to most and is the reason why I went into the industry in the first place,” said Mitchell.

A whirlwind nine days of Super Bowl events, production preparation, and of course, the big game itself, followed. The

language and potential injuries, she reported what she observed back to the talent.

“Everyone is watching the field, but some of the best talking points come about when you take your eye off of the ball,” she said.

At halftime of the game, she was caught off guard, but excited when Tom Brady asked her what three questions she would ask Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn. As the game ended she rushed the field to help track down Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts for an interview.

“That’s always one of my favorite parts because you get to see the joy and humanity of what a win means to them in the NFL,” she added.

It was during this moment that she paused to reflect as the confetti swirled around her. She quietly tucked a few pieces into her pocket for later, but her work was not completed.

“It was time to strike, which is basically the clean-up process. The game is a production. Cameras, lighting, equipment,

week provided her with even more unique moments to network and learn, but as an Eagles fan, the real excitement was being there for the big win.

But it should come as no surprise, that once the work wrapped, she was off to the next opportunity, Major League Baseball spring training with Victus Sports.

Despite the intense pace of her schedule, she found time to reflect on everything and everyone that got her to this moment.

Hand-written notes, with NFC Championship confetti arrived to many friends and mentors, a simple nod to the support they have offered along the way.

“This was as much their moment as is it was mine because I wouldn’t have been there without them,” she said.

At the age of 24, she’s accomplished a lot, but remains focused on appreciating each small moment, like confetti falling.

“What’s next is now. It starts, every single day, with sitting in the present moment and appreciating it for what it is,” she said.

Ship Alumni secure a major deal on Shark Tank

On January 17, ABC’s Shark Tank featured Bro Glo, a male-focused selftanner founded by two Ship alumni, Tom Phillips ’07 and Jaron Nalewak ’08, and their business partner Joseph McDevitt. The three pitched their product to the panel of ‘sharks’ and secured a deal with Mark Cuban for $200,000 and 10 percent equity.

Bro Glo was created to solve a problem that men face—a lack of natural-looking self-tanners marketed specifically for their skin. While attending Ship, Phillips and Nalewak didn’t know one another but later became brothers-in-law. Nalewak met his wife at Ship. Nalewak noted that his wife was always able to achieve a tan but that he struggled to do so without catching a bad sunburn. Nalewak saw a gap in the self-tanning business for men, and through collaboration, Nalewak, Phillips, and McDevitt decided they wanted to fill that gap.

The founder’s water-based and streakfree formula dries quickly, feels lightweight, and offers men a way to boost their confidence. The founders’ clever marketing strategies and social media campaigns helped the brand take off. What started as a small investment to produce 200 units has become a successful business.

Phillips, Nalewak, and McDevitt were thrilled when Shark Tank contacted them about featuring Bro Glo. Their appearance was more than just an opportunity to pitch their product to some of the biggest investors; it was also an opportunity to show off their hard work, determination, and passion.

“We started this as a side hustle,” Tom said. “We were balancing full-time jobs, family commitments, and learning the ins and outs of entrepreneurship as we went. Now, to see it grow to this level is surreal.”

The development of Bro Glo wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. In the beginning, the founders had to do a lot of work to perfect their formula, maintain natural ingredients, build a reliable supply chain, and meet the demands of the business as it grew.

“We didn’t have all the answers in the beginning,” Nalewak admitted. “But what we did have was a passion for our idea and the willingness to learn from our mistakes.”

We hope it shows others that taking risks and chasing your dreams is always worth it.

—Tom Phillips ’07

With time, their dedication paid off. Their strong connection and attention to their audience have fueled Bro Glo’s growth. “Our customers have been our biggest supporters,” Phillips said. “They’ve not only embraced the product but have also shared their stories, showing us how Bro Glo has made them feel more confident in their own skin.”

Beyond the great business opportunity, the founders hope that their Shark Tank appearance will inspire other business leaders and stand as a testament to what business innovators and entrepreneurs, such as those at Shippensburg University, can achieve when they put their minds toward

attaining a goal. The founders all work full-time jobs: Phillips works in investing, Nalewak is an attorney, and McDevitt is a luthier for his company, Fegley Violin. In addition to this, they all have families, and they support a successful side business. “When we started this, we never imagined we’d be pitching on national TV,” Nalewak said. “But it just shows that big dreams are achievable, even when you’re starting small.”

Phillips and Nalewak reflected on their time at Ship as a period that helped them build a foundation for themselves. Phillips, who was a finance major, learned how to think analytically and apply financial concepts to running a business. Nalewak, who was a criminal justice major and a member of the football team, still holds the connections that he made at Ship, acknowledging that the university provided him with a strong support system. “I’m good friends with Wes, Becky, Coach Burke, and Coach Mac. And, every year, I show up to Ship to hire people at the hiring events for the company that I work for. The support system that I have has been amazing because they absolutely are like family.”

Following their deal on Shark Tank, Bro Glo launched a “Shark Tank Starter Bundle” featuring some of their most popular productions, available on their website, broglo.com. Their brand has reached thousands of people, and their business journey shows that success is possible with dedication and a clear vision.

A Legacy of Giving

Siblings Kathryn (Kathy) Hughes Seaber ’73 and Bryan Hughes ’78 have been giving to the Shippensburg University Foundation for nearly forty years. It is a family value passed down for at least three generations.

“We grew up around the value that you show concern for the welfare of people who are not as fortunate as you,” Bryan said.

These values started with their grandfather, Russell Clinton Hughes, who established a foundation in 1959 to support charitable organizations in Monroe County. He was a successful businessman who owned Hughes Printing Company in East Stroudsburg.

Bryan, Kathy, and their brother Russ now serve on the Hughes Foundation Board. Bryan, board president, explained, “The Foundation distributions are restricted to Monroe County, but we have been able to establish scholarships at Shippensburg for students from Monroe County.” They established the Hughes Foundation, Inc. Scholarship in 2019 for students from Monroe County who demonstrate financial need.

“Our grandfather set up scholarships at different schools, so education was important to him,” Kathy said. “A good education can open so many doors.”

Bryan agreed, “We wanted to carry on that value of education to help people who do not have the money to go to college or to help supplement the people that do go to college.”

Kathy and Bryan have also established scholarships and endowments at the

Shippensburg University Foundation using personal resources. In 2023, Bryan set up the Bryan E. Hughes College of Business Family Endowment for the discretionary use of the college where he earned his BSBA.

Kathy earned a bachelor’s degree in education and taught for 38 years in the Warwick School District in Lititz. In 2020, she established the Kathryn Hughes Seaber Educational Impact Scholarship for students pursuing degrees offered by the College of Education and Human Services.

Her gift also funded the Kathryn Hughes Seaber Raiders Academic Center for Student-Athletes. Located in Lehman Library, it supports the academic well-being of the university’s nearly 500 student-athletes.

This year, Kathy established the Kathryn Hughes Seaber Student Educator Research Endowment which helps students pursuing a career in education with out-of-pocket expenses incurred during their required field placement and student teaching. Kathy said, “They don’t get paid as student teachers, and this fund helps with their expenses.”

She has also established the Kathryn Seaber Study Abroad Endowment “for

IN HER OWN WORDS My time at Shippensburg University was priceless. I had constant support and direction from professors, unique classroom experiences, and was fortunate to form everlasting friendships. I look back on this time in my life and cannot help but smile and appreciate everything I gained and was able to take with me.

When asked why I continue to contribute to the Foundation every year, I thought long and hard and gave instant credit to my scholarship benefactors. It was the true push to attend the university and I could not have made a better decision. Since graduation, I knew I wanted to pay it forward; I wanted to make someone else feel the way I felt. I wanted them to realize the true value of their

students to have a chance to go to a foreign country and live there and be a part of the culture. I think that would be a unique and wonderful learning opportunity.” While Kathy never studied abroad, she has enjoyed traveling and experiencing other cultures in her retirement.

Bryan joined the family business after graduating from Shippensburg. His father worked in printing, leading the family to Lancaster. Bryan started at Science Press as a management trainee and remained until its sale 17 years ago. “I was fortunate to be able to retire at age 52.”

Their brother Russ worked in the family business for a few years after high school. He then joined a company where he could apply his vocational training in cabinet making. Russ eventually ran his own cabinet making company for more than ten years before retiring.

Now, the three siblings work together on the board to continue the legacy of Hughes Foundation, Inc. “It’s a good feeling to help others,” Bryan said, and Kathy and Russ agreed.

education and the impact that their professors and peers can have on life after college.

Although my contributions may not be of scholarship value, I am certain that my contributions are forming scholarships and aiding in unique classroom experiences for the students.

My hope is that at least one graduate a year walks away from their experience with the eagerness to give back and continue to make a difference in students’ lives. My goal is to keep Ship Happening!

Honoring Decades of Dedication to the SU Foundation

On November 1, 2024, the Shippensburg University Foundation’s Board of Directors honored two exceptional retiring board members—Richard H. Pizzarro and Donald F. Smith, Jr.—whose combined 42 years of service left an indelible mark on the SU Foundation and Shippensburg University.

Richard H. Pizzarro ’88 devoted 24 years to the Foundation’s Board of Directors. With expertise in computer technology and entrepreneurial success, Rich played a pivotal role in modernizing the foundation’s database systems and launching its first website. Alongside his wife, Lori ’95, Rich championed fundraising efforts including co-chairing the National Annual Fund, matching donations to inspire giving to the Annual Fund, and supporting major campaigns.

Rich’s contributions extended beyond technology. He worked closely with the Computer Science Department, guiding curriculum development and mentoring students. He also shared his insights as a keynote speaker at commencement and other campus events. Rich’s dedication and innovative vision significantly advanced the university’s technological infrastructure and academic programs.

Donald F. Smith, Jr. ’75, dedicated 18 years to the Foundation’s Board of Directors. With a distinguished career as a lawyer and later as executive director of the Berks County Bar Association, Don brought legal expertise, strategic thinking, and a deep commitment to his alma mater.

Don’s leadership roles included serving on the SU Foundation’s Executive Committee from 2008 to 2015 and serving

on its Investment Committee. Don’s work on the Government Relations Committee protected the Foundation’s mission. His strategic planning skills helped craft policies that reinforced the Foundation’s long-term strategic vision.

Like Rich, Don and his wife, JoAnn ’75, understand the importance of charitable giving. They served as National Annual Fund Co-Chairs, along with serving on comprehensive campaign committees over the years. The Smiths personally contributed to the Annual Fund and major campaigns, exemplifying their belief in giving back.

Beyond the Foundation, Don served in alumni leadership, including a term as president of the Alumni Association. His unwavering loyalty and tireless efforts strengthened connections among alumni and enriched the university community.

The Board of Directors is grateful for the remarkable legacies of both Rich and Don. Their combined contributions in technology, fundraising, legal expertise, and strategic planning have left a lasting impact on Shippensburg University and the SU Foundation, inspiring future generations to follow their example of dedication, leadership, and service.
