A MESSAGE from THE PRESIDENT Dear Alumni and Friends, Twenty years ago in fall 2002, then-Seton Hill College President JoAnne Boyle led the way to two major changes that would bring about unprecedented growth for the campus.

Seton Hill College achieved university status and became fully coeducational in all academic programs.

Those prescient actions in 2002 allowed Seton Hill University to not only survive but thrive.

Today, more than 2,000 students attend Seton Hill on campus and online in more than 100 degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels – including a doctoral program in Physical Therapy.

Seton Hill students are participating in research opportunities at Research 1 institutions and undertaking internships at major corporations.

Our student-athletes compete at the NCAA Division II level – and have been making their mark in division and national championships in multiple sports. We are leaders in the use of technology in the classroom and are consistently ranked among the best colleges in the country by multiple leading authorities.

All of us at Seton Hill today are grateful for the work that was done 20 years ago to chart a new course for Seton Hill while still retaining our

mission and identity – to educate students to think and act critically, creatively and ethically in the spirit of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill.

NATIONAL PROMINENCE I am pleased to share the numerous ways Seton Hill students and faculty have been engaged in extraordinary opportunities over the past several months.

Over the summer Seton Hill hosted an institute, underwritten by a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, for middle and high school educators that focused on how to teach the Holocaust and other genocides in middle and high school classrooms. Faculty in the School of Humanities joined with national Holocaust experts and leadership from the university’s National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education (NCCHE) to delve into these difficult but important topics.

In addition to the summer institute, The National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education (NCCHE) recognized its 35th Anniversary this year with a series of events that engaged students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members from a variety of faith backgrounds. The NCCHE opened its doors in November 1987 after Sister Gemma Del Duca, upon a return trip from her work in Israel, approached then-President JoAnne Boyle, members of the Sisters of Charity, the Seton Hill community

and members of the Board of Trustees with the idea for the Center.

Over the past 35 years, the NCCHE has offered educators at the K-12 and college level opportunities to learn how to teach the Holocaust to their students through programs at Seton Hill and in Israel. The Center’s continuing work on interfaith dialogue is especially important today. At a time when antisemitism is on the rise, we are doing the important work of not only condemning these acts but supporting our Jewish brothers and sisters by educating our students and others about the toll that hate takes on our world.

Those efforts extend to building a more diverse campus community.

Seton Hill recently received two major grants to promote diversity in the sciences and in business. Nearly $750,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) will support a scholarship and mentorship program for students who are academically talented but lack the financial resources to pursue education in the sciences.

cybersecurity. The program will work in partnership with the Jeannette City School District to encourage high school students to pursue those professions through education at Seton Hill.

ACCOLADES

We remain grateful for all that you do for the university and our students, many of whom would not be able to attain an education without your financial support. You will find the 2021-2022 Honor Roll of Donors beginning on page 42 of the Forward.

Seton Hill continues to receive accolades from national organizations.

The University was once again named a Best Regional University, a Best College for Veterans and a Best Value School by U.S. News and World Report. We were also honored by The Princeton Review as one of the Best Colleges in the Northeast.

Seton Hill has also been named an Apple Distinguished School, an honor the university has achieved continuously since 2012. The recognition highlights Seton Hill’s commitment to breaking down the digital divide by providing MacBooks to students, faculty and staff, and providing continuing education to faculty on the best ways to use

None of this would be possible without the generous support of our alumni and friends, who remain steadfastly devoted to Seton Hill.

Please continue to keep this university – and our students, faculty and staff – in your prayers, and know that we keep you in ours.

Hazard Yet Forward, Mary C. Finger President

The grant will not only provide scholarship support for the participating students but will also help guide students through research, internship and career exploration.

A competitive $25,000 grant from the KPMG U.S. Foundation – which has the potential to expand to $500,000 through a matching program – will enable the School of Business to initiate a program to build a diverse pipeline of professionals in accounting, finance and

S

eton Hill students have many unique opportunities available in how they spend their breaks between classes.

In recent years, science majors have spent their summers gaining hands-on research experience at major universities, capitalizing on the skills they learned in labs on the Hill and applying them to real-world problems across the nation.

Many of these research experiences were funded through the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) along with other similar university-specific programs, which allow students who attend smaller schools to gain access to larger labs and spend time with top researchers in their chosen fields. In the last several years, a number of Seton Hill students have been selected for these nationally competitive opportunities, which focus particularly on students who are firstgeneration or minorities.

The REU program provides students with an opportunity to spend 10 weeks on a research team, typically at R1 institutions.

Selected students are also given a stipend that includes housing and transportation to and from the location.

Seton Hill’s Fit for the World Career Readiness Program requires all undergraduate students to engage in an experiential learning opportunity before they graduate. In the sciences, that opportunity must include a research project or internship completed on or off campus.

Associate Professor of Chemistry Dr. Jon Moerdyk encourages Seton Hill students to pursue research opportunities – at Seton Hill or beyond – and is a proponent of the REU program.

He started an annual open presentation walking students through the process and encourages anyone with an interest in research to apply. Students generally apply for several REUs that could fit their interests and are sometimes accepted into multiple opportunities.

“It’s a great learning environment where they gain invaluable experience in research,” Moerdyk said. “We’ve had a good number of participants for a university of Seton Hill’s size. Our students do well – we’ve had very positive feedback in assessments.”

Five Seton Hill students completed research experiences at other schools during the summer of 2022. Seniors Dominick Cicala and Mitchell Zembower completed REUs this summer at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pennsylvania while juniors Elizabeth Colecchia and Shaney Enck completed REUs at Kent State University and the University of Central Florida. Junior Lauren Dellett took part in the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) at the University of Pittsburgh.

FALL/WINTER 2022

Senior Mitch Zembower was accepted to three REU programs and selected the University of Pennsylvania so he could gain experience conducting research at an Ivy League school, live in a city, and explore a new area of chemistry outside of his comfort zone, while not going too far from his hometown of Bedford, Pa. “My professors at Seton Hill aided me throughout the process.

The Ruth O’Block Grant Scholar program was another factor as my Grant Scholar Mentor, alumna Susan Mercer, helped me a lot with getting my resume, cover letter, and personal statement together,” Zembower said.

The project he was working on involved synthetic modeling of a rare-earth-containing enzyme which scientists found in nature.

The enzyme has the potential to break down methanol that could be used for biomass or to create renewable energy. Mitch was the

third person in the scientific community to work on the project, with his mentor at Penn teaching him as she had been taught.

He found his relationship with the fifth-year graduate student very valuable.

“She always asked me ʻwhy?’ – before I’d do anything she made me sit down and think,” he said. “I gained that insight of why am I doing this?’”

Mitch’s Penn mentor also commented on how much he had grown after the 10 weeks they worked together, and he received positive feedback from the other people in the lab about his readiness and presentation skills.

“Once I got there I realized how much Seton Hill has prepared me and that I was here for a reason. We have good labs and nice equipment, but I think having small classes – and a good relationship with our professors that some bigger schools might not have – has helped me to become a better student and a better chemist,” he said. “I went to Penn and I realized that what I learned at Seton Hill is what they are learning there. It gave me a lot of confidence.”

Mitch’s plans for the future include applying to Ph.D. programs, with an interest in green chemistry. While he would currently like to work in the plastics or pharmaceuticals industry, he is keeping an open mind, letting his experiences direct him as he gets further into the field and discovers new possibilities.

Mitch’s Grant Scholar Mentor – Susan Mercer, Ph.D. – pursued a research opportunity herself when she was a Seton Hill undergraduate and the two found a connection in both being firstgeneration college students.

Mercer, who graduated from Seton Hill in 2004, worked at Bayer during the summer of 2001. The following summer she had an opportunity to return to Bayer, but instead – knowing that she might want to pursue a Ph.D. further down the road – pursued a summer research experience at Case Western to see what the experience could be like.

“It’s a totally different ballgame when you go to these really large research-intensive institutions,” she said. “You appreciate what you get from Seton Hill in that you really have a solid education and it gives you that confidence boost, but it’s also important to see what that big research machine looks like. The scale of everything is so much different. You learn a totally different set of skills.”

Mercer has found valuable mentors to help guide her career and wanted to pay it forward by providing the same kind of support to others. She worked in academia for 13 years and today works in the pharmaceutical industry.

Shaney Enck

Shaney Enck found out about the REU program from a previous participant – Allison Pittman ’21 – who completed an REU at Sanford Research Center, S.D., in 2021 and is currently working

as a lab technician at Duke University. Alli and Dr. Moerdyk helped mentor Shaney through the application process, with Dr. Moerdyk encouraging her to not limit herself in location when choosing where to study.

As a Biology 4+4 student in the Early Admissions Program with Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, Shaney plans to attend LECOM Bradenton in Florida and wanted to start building her connections within the medical and research fields. Being accepted into an REU at the University of Central Florida was another way to further her education.

“It was a big step of independence for me to go away to Florida for three months,” she said. “I’d never been away from home for that long. Additionally, it was the farthest I have ever traveled with respect to my education.”

Shaney has known that she wanted to be a doctor since she was 13 years old when her mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 BRCA 1 breast cancer and had a very slim chance of survival. Just she and her mother were running their farm, and she was afraid of ending up in the foster system.

“What gave me hope was getting to sit down with her oncologist, her surgeon, and all of her other physicians. They would tell me step-by-step what the plan was and how they

“At first it was hard for me to gain confidence because a lot of things were going wrong and I was thinking research isn’t for me. I went through a lot of trial and error,” she said. “I think it makes you a better person because you have to learn to be very patient. You cannot rush the process and you have to learn to ask questions.”

Meeting others in her cohort encouraged Shaney on her path and they reinforced that she should strive to get the most out of her undergraduate years.

“I think it helped me approach my education differently this semester, asking why and how things happen,” Shaney said.

Mitch, Shaney, Dominick, Elizabeth and Lauren join the nearly 20 others who have participated in these types of experiences during their undergraduate years at Seton Hill since 2011.

Their forays into research have ripple effects long after these students returned to Seton Hill. A high percentage of these students have found homes in the lab well beyond their time on the Hill, with many currently pursuing Ph.D. programs across the country.

were going to help her overcome this battle,” she said. “After two years of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, and a radical hysterectomy my mother is in remission. It was an amazing experience and it drove me to want to help people in similar situations.”

In Florida Shaney quickly made friends with her roommates – other REU participants who came to the program from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Pensacola, Fla. – and dove into the research.

Working with principal investigator Dr. William T. Self and Ph.D. candidate Michael A. Johnstone, Shaney helped investigate the antimicrobial properties of silver doped cerium oxide nanoparticles (AgCNPs). These nanoparticles were applied in the clinical setting to combat clostridioides difficile, a bacterium that causes diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis in roughly 500,000 patients and is responsible for approximately 29,000 deaths in the United States each year.

“I was so nervous when I got down there. The whole lab was microbiology and I’d never taken microbiology, but the whole reason I was there was to learn,” she said. “It was so inspiring and interesting to hear what the other students were doing and knowing how many people are making a difference in the world when it comes to research.”

Rachael Ditzler ’19 knew that she wanted to pursue a career in science from a young age.

“I’ve wanted to be a scientist since I was three or four years old. It’s something that was heavily influenced by my family,” she said. “I really like the inquisitive nature of chemistry and science and its ability to impact the real world.”

Rachael’s grandfather worked in physics and engineering for most of his life and came out of retirement to teach university-level classes. Most of the uncles on her mom’s side of the family are in chemistry, including one who works at the NSF. Her grandfather is also the one who found Seton Hill during Rachael’s college search. She knew that research and a Ph.D. would likely be part of her future and felt that Seton Hill could provide her with a strong foundation in chemistry.

While having an uncle at the NSF made Rachael aware of potential opportunities early on, she credits Seton Hill – and especially her chemistry advisor Dr. Moerdyk – with taking the idea of pursuing research and making it into a reality.

Her first REU was at Penn State University in the summer of 2017 working on emulsion chemistry where she realized she loved the pursuit of knowledge and information that comes from doing research. Her second REU in 2018 took her further from home to the University of Southern Mississippi and gave her an appreciation for polymers, which she had been introduced to in organic chemistry. Her project there involved a computational polymer physics project and she came to appreciate the complexity of the polymers over smaller molecules.

“I really enjoyed being able to formulate my own ideas, apply them and get results – whether they were positive or negative – and see the progress that I was able to make in learning new science and applying what I already knew from classes to this new area of science,” Rachael said.

Rachael is currently a fourth-year chemistry Ph.D. student at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. She has completed the classes in her program and is conducting research full-time, studying the use of sigmatropic rearrangements, a class of organic chemistry reactions, in synthetic polymers.

“I’m really excited to have an impact on the scientific community and through the work that I’m doing. Hopefully that can be applied further down the line to having an impact in society, especially with my work on plastics and upcycling and reducing plastic pollution,” Rachael said. “It keeps you motivated seeing how you can make these small discoveries and they accumulate

into something bigger than can have a significant impact on scientific research and the world overall.”

She earned additional funding from the NSF as a Graduate Research Fellow, which covers tuition, fees and a stipend for three years.

Brittney Racioppo ’19 – who also completed two research experiences during her time at Seton Hill – is also in the NSF’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) and is currently a Ph.D. student working on biomedical research in The Adibekian Lab at The Scripps Research Institute at the University of Florida.

National Science Foundation Grant Awarded to Seton Hill For STEM Scholarship, Mentorship Program The National Science Foundation has awarded Seton Hill University a competitive grant of nearly $750,000 to support biology, biochemistry, chemistry and forensic science majors from under-resourced environments through scholarships as well as a mentorship network and career exploration program.

“The national need for well-educated professionals working in STEM fields is of paramount importance, and Seton Hill has a long-standing commitment to educating students from diverse backgrounds, in STEM fields,” said Seton Hill President Mary C. Finger. “We are grateful for the support of the National Science Foundation for Seton Hill’s efforts to provide scholarships and mentorship opportunities to high-achieving students from families from lower income environments in the Pittsburgh area. These initiatives will both break down barriers to higher education and provide important opportunities to students.”

“Far too many academically talented high school students do not pursue higher education in the sciences because they do not have the financial means or the mentors to show them a path forward,” said Seton Hill Associate Professor of Chemistry Ashley Bartelson, the principal investigator for the grant. “We are excited to begin recruiting students for this program and help them see all the possibilities that are open to them through a STEM career.”

Over its six-year duration, the project will fund

scholarships to 15 unique full-time students who are pursuing bachelor’s degrees in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, and forensic science at Seton Hill.

The project aims to recruit students from economicallydisadvantaged and historically underrepresented backgrounds from Pittsburgh area high schools through an outreach event.

In addition to scholarship support, scholars who are recruited for the program will benefit from a combination of group-based and one-on-one mentorship activities along with a social media connection.

Supplemental instruction with a peer mentor will be incorporated in an organic chemistry course that is known to be a barrier for students in these majors.

In addition, a career exploration and opportunities seminar will increase awareness about research and internship opportunities and possible career pathways.

Participants will create an individual development plan, which includes an assessment of each scholar’s unique skills, their short- and long-term goals, and action steps to achieve those goals.

Ultimately, the program is meant to recruit, support and graduate future scientists from underrepresented communities to help to diversify, expand and enrich the scientific community.

Arts Programs Bring Community Members to Seton Hill Seton Hill University reaches out into the community in a variety of ways, and two recent programs at the Seton Hill University Arts Center in downtown Greensburg highlighted artistic collaborations.

The Summer Fine Arts Camp is hosted annually by the Seton Arts Service Corps, a collaboration between the Sisters of Charity and Seton Hill arts students, whose mission is “transforming the lives of children through the arts.” Students are able to attend the weeklong camp for just $10. This was the second year that the camp was hosted at the Arts Center on Seton Hill’s campus.

Funding for the program is provided by Carole and Glenn Johnson in memory of their daughter Beth Ann, a Seton Hill student returning from a semester abroad who was a victim of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988.

In the fall, Seton Hill hosted an exhibit featuring the work of art instructors and their students from schools around the area in the Harlan Gallery. The show, titled “Cultivations: Art Educators & Their Students,” was the first opportunity for many of the students to have their pieces displayed in a gallery setting.

FALL/WINTER 2022

The third annual stethoscope ceremony for Seton Hill University’s Daniel J. Wukich School of Nursing celebrated members of the Class of 2025 as they transition from the classroom into the clinical portion of their education and begin interacting with patients.

The sophomore nursing students receive stethoscopes as both a tangible tool they will use in the clinical field as well as a symbol of the ways nurses listen to their patients.

Students and their guests heard from President Mary Finger, Provost Sr. Susan Yochum, Board of Trustees Chair Karen Farmer White, former Trustee and benefactor Daniel J. Wukich, and Diane Kondas, Director of the Wukich School of Nursing.

“I'm so happy you decided Seton Hill is the place for you, and I know that it is,” Wukich said.

"My congratulations to you tonight. This is a special moment.”

Kiersten Zelnosky, Chief Nursing Officer and Vice President of Patient Care Services at UPMC Altoona and UPMC Bedford, a nurse executive with more than 30 years of strategic and operational experience in healthcare, offered the keynote speech to Seton Hill’s future nurses.

Zelnosky talked about the importance of connection – and especially the ways in which it was lost during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Our patients lost the ability to have their loved ones at their bedside – that ability to have a family member hold their hand, rub their arm and say, ʻIt’s ok. I’m here. I love you.’”

The nurses in the COVID ICU asked Zelnosky to invest in some iPads so they could connect their patients to their loved ones – and also connect to the loved ones themselves.

Those connections allowed a family to say “I love you” to their husband and father – not

knowing if it would be the last time. It also allowed them to see the doctors and nurses line the hallway of the ICU when he was released from the hospital.

“We really felt like we made a connection,” she said. “I really felt like our nurses were difference makers.” She encouraged the aspiring nurses to never stop learning and to always be a part of solutions.

“Your connection will be your ability to be a difference maker,” she said. “It will become more and more clear to you as you grow in your future career.”

Physician Assistant Ceremony of Gratitude Honors Donors The Physician Assistant Class of 2024 held its annual Ceremony of Gratitude in November to "honor the human body donors who have given the most selfless gift to further our knowledge of the human body." The ceremony, which was held in Saint Joseph Chapel, can be viewed through Seton Hill's Campus Ministry Facebook page.

Through prayer, readings, song and reflections, the Physician Assistant students and faculty honored the five donors from whom they learned during their two-semester Human Anatomy course.

Dr. Bobbie Leeper, instructor for course, said each of the donors was a teacher in their own right, guiding the students in understanding the human body better than any lecture or textbook could.

"These donors allowed for our students to hold, feel and see real human anatomy in three dimensions and see multiple clinical conditions and think about how those conditions would impact a person's life," she said.

Leeper added that the students learned aspects of Catholic Social Teaching, including human dignity and respect for all. "These donors instilled a humanistic attitude toward patient care," she said. "Even though these donors are dead, we are still treating them with the respect and dignity we would have in life."

In preparation for the Ceremony, students in the Graduate Art Therapy program worked with the PA students to create an art project that provides a means to say thank you and goodbye to the donors. They created a tree with flowers and butterflies that conveys a metaphor. Much like butterflies gathering nectar from flowers and spreading it, the PA students gathered information from their donors that will help them sustain life in the future.

The Ceremony also included a Giving of the Roses. Each of the five donors was honored with roses of different colors placed in a vase on the chapel altar by each member of the group that worked with that donor over the two semesters.

Ruth O’Block Grant Scholars Announced for 2022-23

S

eton Hill is proud to announce its fourth class of Ruth O'Block Grant Scholars for the 2022-23 academic year. A total of nine students were selected for the program this year.

Four new Grant Scholars, Kylie Berko, Sarah Gilliam, Laura Roland and Abby Zuder, join returning Scholars Mackenzie Longo, Shannon Mong, Desiree Saether, Shane Simpson and Mitch Zembower. All were chosen for the program based on their track records of leadership and academic success.

The Grant Scholar Program is part of The Ruth O’ Block Grant Endowed Scholarship Program, which was created during the university’s Centennial in 2018 to honor Ruth Grant by her grandson Grant Verstandig, daughter Toni Verstandig, and son-in-law Lee Verstandig through the Verstandig Family Foundation.

Ruth O’ Block Grant ’54 was a determined entrepreneur, an inspiring community leader and a tireless advocate for education who died in May 2022. She served her alma mater for 22 years as a member of the Board of Trustees and as Trustee Chair from 2017 to 2019. Ruth, along with her late husband Louis A. Grant Sr., cofounded Louis A. Grant Inc. and led the business for 54 years, growing the company to a multi-million dollar international corporation which became a major disruptor in the steel and aluminum industries.

Debasish Chakraborty, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Business at Seton Hill, serves as faculty liaison for the Grant Scholar Program and

works closely with the students throughout their time in the program to provide leadership opportunities and programming.

Each Grant Scholar is also paired with a mentor who is a leader in their field, many of whom are Seton Hill alumni. Through this mentorship and additional programming over the course of the year, the Grant Scholars participate in experiences that help them to hone their leadership skills, to prepare for success in graduate school and their careers, and to contribute meaningfully to their communities. Students who have been selected for the program can reapply annually, giving them the opportunity to continue through the program for the duration of their undergraduate career.

“The Grant Scholar Program helped me immensely to develop the necessary ʻreal-world’ skills to prepare myself for life after my college graduation. As a first-generation student, I felt overwhelmed with preparing myself for the work force until I was accepted into the Grant Scholar Program,” Shannon Mong said. “The program allowed me to connect with mentors within my specific field and helped me develop networking and communication skills in order to excel after my time on the Hill.”

Six Grant Scholars – Kathryn Dzurik ’22, David Conely ’22, Marissa Kostrycki Martini ’22, Jessie Delio ’21, Germaine Uwimpuhwe ’21, and Gracie Stynchula ’21 – have graduated from the program to date.

The new Grant Scholars shared some details about themselves and what they hope to learn from the program.

S

eton Hill celebrated the dedication of The Jacqueline Weinmeister Brownlee Writing Center on August 18.

The naming of The Jacqueline Weinmeister Brownlee Writing Center was made possible thanks to a gift from Robert M. Brownlee and Jacqueline Weinmeister Brownlee in honor of their 60th wedding anniversary in June.

The Jacqueline Weinmeister Brownlee Writing Center provides supplemental resources to help Seton Hill students achieve their academic goals as they work to become better communicators in college and in their career.

Robert M. Brownlee is the nephew of the late Sister Francesca Brownlee, the founding Dean of Seton Hill. In 2018, Robert Brownlee pledged a seven-figure commitment to the university to create The Robert M. Brownlee Mathematics Enrichment Center and The Robert M. Brownlee Endowed Scholarship.

Seton Hill is now honored not only to have The Robert M. Brownlee Mathematics Enrichment Center but also The Jaqueline Weinmeister Brownlee Writing Center in Reeves Learning Commons. Both are dedicated to supporting Seton HIll students and providing them with the necessary tools to find success in the classroom.

Grants Support Diversity, Mental Wellness Initiatives at Seton Hill Seton Hill received two grants this fall to support the university’s ongoing efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusion as well as mental health and wellness for students.

KPMG U.S. Foundation Inc. Grant Funding Diversity Program in the School of Business

T

he KPMG U.S. Foundation, Inc. has awarded Seton Hill University a $25,000 grant through its new Reaching New Heights Program to promote access and equity in higher education. The University will also be eligible to participate in a 2:1 match of up to $500,000 in eligible donations made by KPMG professionals, partners and retired partners.

Seton Hill will use the grant to initiate a new program in the School of Business – THINK It, SEE It, BE It: Diversity Pipeline Business Camp & Program – that will attract students from diverse backgrounds to study and pursue careers in accounting, finance and cybersecurity.

“All of us at Seton Hill University are grateful to the KPMG Foundation for recognizing Seton Hill’s diversity efforts through its Reaching New Heights grant and matching gift program,” said Seton Hill President Mary C. Finger, Ed.D. “Improving equity in higher education by providing enhanced access to meaningful opportunities leads to diversity in the workplace, and we believe that by showing students a path they did not know was possible, we will inspire them to pursue higher education and careers in accounting, finance and cybersecurity.”

“We recognize a diverse workplace brings with it new ideas and perspectives that are greatly needed in the business world,” said Dr. Debasish Chakraborty, Dean of the School of Business at Seton Hill. “Through the THINK It, SEE It, BE It program, Seton Hill hopes to inspire current high school students and undecided college majors from diverse backgrounds to pursue career paths in business that they may not have recognized were accessible to them.”

Through the THINK It, SEE It, BE It: Diversity Pipeline Business Camp & Program, Seton Hill will partner with the Jeannette City School District, Seton Hill University alumni, local small businesses, industry specific professionals and community organizations to create interest around the accounting, finance and cybersecurity professions through a three-pronged approach.

A two-day summer camp in 2023 will create interest around the professions, while high school and Seton Hill students who are undecided on a major will learn more about the areas through classroom learning during the 2023-24 academic year. Finally, students will be engaged through mentorships, internships and small business client projects through Seton Hill University’s Wukich Center for Entrepreneurial Opportunities.

KPMG representatives visited to Seton Hill to discuss a new diversity program which will be launched through the School of Business, tour the campus and offer the company’s assistance. The group included: (first row, left to right) Provost Sr. Susan Yochum; Renée Starek, Director of the Career and Professional Development Center; Assistant Professor of Business Lyzona Marshall; Anita Whitehead, Chair of the KPMG Foundation; Maria Blohm, a KPMG Partner in the Pittsburgh office; Dr. Debasish Chakraborty, Dean of the School of Business; (back row, left to right) Bob Krizner, a retired KPMG LLP Partner; Associate Professor of Business Roland Warfield; and Adam Bankovich ’20, a Senior Associate in KPMG’s Pittsburgh office.

Seton Hill is one of five higher education institutions across the country selected for a grant through the KPMG Foundation’s Reaching New Heights Program, which recognizes the 125th anniversary of KPMG U.S. In November, KPMG representatives came to Seton Hill to discuss the program, tour the campus and offer the company’s assistance with everything from mentorship opportunities to career fairs to lectures.

The group included Anita Whitehead, Chair of the KPMG Foundation; Bob Krizner, a retired KPMG LLP Partner; Maria Blohm, a KPMG Partner in the Pittsburgh office; and Seton Hill alumnus Adam Bankovich ’20, a Senior Associate in KPMG’s Pittsburgh office.

Mental Health Program for Student-Athletes Implemented Thanks to Grant from Staunton Farm Foundation A $25,000 grant from the Staunton Farm Foundation has enabled Seton Hill University to implement The Zone Mobile App for student-athletes this fall as part of the university’s focus on mental health and well-being.

The Zone app allows regular check-ins, provides a road to early intervention, and assists in normalizing help-seeking – meeting student-athletes where they are and reducing barriers to access. The app permits students to interact anonymously while providing Seton Hill with aggregate data on their wellbeing, allowing the university to see the trends and provide strategies and resources as needs arise. Students will also be able to request tele-help through the app or work directly with the coordinator to locate resources specific to their situation.

“Students of college-age are at the peak age range for the onset of mental health concerns, and student-athletes are at a higher risk as they balance the academic, social, developmental and financial challenges of college with the additional pressures to perform on the field,” said Rosalie Carpenter, Vice President for

Student Affairs and Athletics at Seton Hill. “The Zone App helps destigmatize seeking the mental health assistance our studentathletes need.”

Seton Hill has hired Hadara Katarski as Coordinator of Student-Athlete Well-Being at Seton Hill, a new part-time position.

Katarski, an adjunct professor at Seton Hill in Sport Psychology and Sociology of Sport and a former Division I head cross country and track and field coach, is working with the student-athletes and coaches to implement The Zone App and manage the program.

“I am excited to work with Seton Hill’s student-athletes and coaches in order to provide appropriate resources and offer early intervention for those who are experiencing issues related to their mental health,” Katarski said. “The Staunton Farm Foundation funding is so important as we work to ensure our student-athletes realize their mental health is just as important as their physical health.”

The film, part of the Eva Fleischner Oral History Project, is one of a series of interviews with Pittsburgh-area Holocaust survivors made possible through a grant from Leslie and the late Hans Fleischner, the sister-in-law and brother of Eva Fleischner.

Celebrations of the 35th anniversary will continue in 2023. The NCCHE is working with Seton Hill's School of Visual and Performing Arts to produce a one-act play reading of “I Never Saw Another Butterfly” in April 2023 in commemoration of Yom Hashoah, which is observed annually as an international Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day.

Teachers came from across the nation to participate in Grappling with Genocide, a National Endowment for the Humanities institute, held on Seton Hill’s campus in July 2022. Some were returning to Seton Hill, including Kierhan Boyle ’15, ’17, center.

Educators Gather for National Summer Institute at Seton Hill Faculty-created NEH workshop provides tools, community to face challenging subject of genocide

W

hile summer might bring to mind thoughts of vacations and fun, educators of grades 6-12 gathered from around the country on Seton Hill’s campus in July to dive into a weighty topic.

The two-week National Endowment for the Humanities institute, “Grappling with Genocide: Fostering Empathy and Engagement through Text and Image,” started with presentations on the facts of different genocides throughout history and throughout the world, but what the teachers left with was something that may seem unexpected given the subject matter: hope.

The workshop showcased voices from different communities who have dealt with genocide and hate. Guest speakers included Timothy Petete, member of the Seminole Nation, Okla., and a professor of English at University of Central Oklahoma, speaking on Native American erasure; and Mehnaz Afridi, Director of the Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Education Center at Manhattan College. Participants also spent a day in Squirrel Hill talking to a

variety of speakers about the impact of the Tree of Life shooting on the community and its response.

In addition to academic lectures, the teachers worked on creating pedagogy for their classrooms and learned about the different types of community resources they could seek out in their local areas. They also developed art related to the Question/ Marker project, an ongoing effort at Seton Hill to integrate the arts, history, current events and the study of genocide in an interdisciplinary manner.

Hosting this type of workshop at Seton Hill was a project years in the making for a number of faculty members.

“This happened very organically. I knew that we had outstanding colleagues in the School of Humanities that had a lot of expertise and who knew how to communicate that expertise in ways that would be meaningful and applicable for teachers,” said Debra Faszer-McMahon, Dean of the School of Humanities.

The institute harnessed Seton Hill’s strengths in genocide and Holocaust studies and the resources and connections of the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education, and put them together with faculty in education, political science, history, and art for a comprehensive approach.

wanted them to feel connected as a cohort and to develop some new relationships that could be supportive of their work moving into the future,” said Faszer-McMahon.

“I had no intention of enjoying myself this week,” Shaner said. “I knew that it was important that I be here, but I did not think that I would enjoy it. That’s a testament to the people sitting around the table and the people that were in front of us.”

“I’m leaving much more energized,” Shaner added. “The Seton Hill staff carefully curated what we were going to do when we left here.”

“Teaching this content can be challenging for teachers as human beings,” Cusick said. “I think we get paralyzed when we look at the enormity of the issues surrounding genocide, but there’s a great power that can come when we are able to humanize it by reading the story of one person or hearing the story of these individuals.”

Narrative and personal stories were woven throughout the institute, giving participants the added perspective of individuals within the tragedies and how communities responded in addition to the facts and figures that emphasize the Timothy Petete, a member of the Seminole Nation, Okla., and a professor of English at University of staggering human toll these tragedies have Central Oklahoma, speaks about Native American erasure during the institute. had in the world.

One of the tools that resonated with the teachers was the use of Narrative 4, an exercise where participants “I love how the institute was so interdisciplinary in many partner up, exchange stories, and then retell their partner's story in ways,” said Faszer-McMahon. “Sometimes language has its limits the first person in a small group. This story exchange helps broaden – we need all of our interdisciplinary resources to figure out how perspectives and develop connections. to contemplate and move forward.”

“It’s the strength of the humanities,” said Christine Cusick, Associate Professor of English/Composition and Director of the Honors Program. “They have that capacity for synthesis, and for collaboration and connection that can give us that hope.”

Teachers came from as far as Oakland, Calif., and as close as Baldwin and Coraopolis near Pittsburgh, leaving campus with newfound resources and a renewed sense of community to accompany them into the new school year. While some were in their first five years of teaching, others have been working in the field for decades.

Participants included Dan Shaner, a teacher in the BaldwinWhitehall School District who was named the 2020-21 Holocaust Educator of the Year by the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh; Kierhan Boyle ’15, ’17, who was awarded the Ethel LeFrak Outstanding Student Scholar of the Holocaust Award while a Participants were able to view a display of photographs from the student at Seton Hill; and Amanda Crutchman ’01.

“Just in telling and listening to stories and getting to that root base of recognizing our common humanity, then learning empathy and practicing that empathy as a means of combating conditions that lead to genocide has been really solid,” said Kimberly Sleeper, a teacher from Nebraska with students in her classroom who are refugees of the Yazidi genocide in Iraq. “It’s something that I feel like I can take to a lot of places in my classroom even if I’m not

touching on subjects remotely related to this.”

“Thinking about the importance of narrative is also connected to the idea that no community should be defined by the worst thing that’s happened to them,” said Faszer-McMahon. “Our time can be really valuably spent learning more about the communities beyond the tragedies – their history, their current cultures.”

Seton Hill Student Maria Giunta Interns for NEH Summer Institute Maria Giunta, a senior history and social studies education major from Pittsburgh, Pa., was selected for an internship as Seton Hill organized and hosted the National Endowment for the Humanities summer institute with the theme, “Grappling with Genocide."

Giunta had the opportunity to shadow her professors in both history and education as they put the workshop together throughout the spring and summer and will be using her takeaways as part of her Honors Capstone project.

Q: How did you get involved in the institute?

A: The organizers were looking for a student who hit one of three criteria: honors, history, or education. I happened to be in all three

and Dr. John Spurlock, Dr. Christine Cusick, and Dr. Daniel Casebeer all reached out to me in the fall of 2021. I had Genocide and Comparative Perspective in the spring and enrolled in the graduate level course to prepare for the workshop.

I was thinking that it’s going to be heavy at times, it’s going to be dark stuff, but it’s really important if I want to be able to teach these things one day.

Q: How does this internship factor into your honors capstone?

A: My job was doing all the things that needed to be done to make sure everything ran smoothly, whether that was contacting offsite

places or running social media.

The other part of it is mainly observing, watching the teachers, watching what they do, how they interact, what they come up with, and that part of my job is tied into my honors project. My honors capstone is going to be the culmination of everything I learned here. My project itself is examining what works and what doesn’t in terms of keeping these teachers in touch with one another and continuing to foster that collaboration once they leave. We want them to stay in contact and continue working together; that is one of the main things that’s been made clear to me – teaching is not something you do by yourself, you do have to lean on others.

Q: How did the experience of observing the other teachers benefit you?

A: Hearing the other teachers talk about their experience has been so incredibly valuable because we have people who have been

teaching for 40 some years and people who are also within their first five years. Looking across the board, I’ve heard so many stories about “I know my students will love this.” or “This went really wrong when I tried to teach it to high school students.” It’s been really great to get those real life stories because you can’t take a class on so many things that you are going to encounter as a teacher.

It’s so easy in college to get caught up on the little things, worrying about if my lessons are going to be perfect, worrying about how my grades are going to be. Being with all these teachers reminds me that there’s so much out there. There are so many people out there with so many different experiences. Even though I love it here, there’s a whole world beyond Seton Hill.

Leadership Gift Creates Scholarships at Seton Hill Child Development Center A leadership commitment from the Jamie Cordial Hall Foundation will enable preschool students from families with financial need to attend the Seton Hill University Child Development Center (CDC) through two scholarship programs – The Jamie Cordial Hall Annual Kindness Scholarship Award and The Jamie Cordial Hall Memorial Endowed Scholarship.

“We are grateful to the Jamie Cordial Hall Foundation for this generous gift to enable children – regardless of their financial circumstance – to benefit from the Center’s programs as they begin their educational journey,” said Maria Stone, director of the CDC. “Jamie and her daughter Chloe attended the CDC and loved the programming,” said Jamie’s father Dale Cordial. “We know how much she would love to help as many children as possible attend.” Two students – Mia Crowe and Nawyata Khan – have been able to attend the CDC this year thanks to the scholarship.

“The scholarship has provided Mia with opportunities and educational activities that she would not have had access to otherwise,” said Mia’s mom, Jackie Carroll. “The scholarship has truly been a blessing for our family.”

The Jamie Cordial Hall Foundation was created in memory of Jamie Cordial Hall, a Greensburg native who died suddenly in May 2018 from complications of childbirth. The foundation previously supported the construction of the Jamie Cordial Hall Memorial Musical Playground at the CDC in 2019.

Mental Health Focus of Fall Campus Events Seton Hill has long worked to reduce the stigma around mental illness and to provide resources to students related to their mental well-being.

The COVID-19 pandemic – and the feelings of isolation it caused for many people – have brought discussions about mental health and wellness to the forefront of our national conversation.

During the fall, the university held several events focused on mental health and wellness to shine a light on these important topics.

In October, Project H.O.M.E. students hosted “Mindfulness Matters,” a mental health drop in/drop out day around midterms.

“I wanted to create an event that would allow individuals to come as they were and just remember to take a moment to breathe and take care of themselves. Unfortunately, mental health is something that is not recognized enough, especially among our marginalized communities,” said Project H.O.M.E. cohort member Chelsea Weid. “Since this event was

received with such enthusiasm, I hope to make events like this one a normal occurrence on our campus, and hope that clubs and other major groups will follow in my footsteps and help to end the stigma.”

In November, the university brought two national events related to youth mental health to campus.

Seton Hill was one of six Pittsburgh area colleges and universities selected to host the Active Minds Send Silence Packing® display through support from the Richard King Mellon Foundation.

During the event on November 1, one thousand backpacks lined Reeves Learning Commons with photographs and personal stories from individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide. The display has been traveling the country for more than a decade to end the silence that surrounds mental health and raise awareness about the impact of suicide and inspire action for suicide prevention.

Panel members included, left to right, Dr. Charma Dudley, Associate Director of Behavioral Health Services at Beacon Health Options; Marci Sturgeon-Rusiewicz, Senior Manager of Recovery and Resiliency at Wesley Family Services; Tina Desport, a therapist for Adelphoi; and Dawn Diehl, instructor and field director for Seton Hill’s social work program.

Representatives from Seton Hill’s Office of Counseling and Disability Services and Mental Health America of Southwestern PA along with other campus and community resources offered support to those who visited the display.

On November 10, Seton Hill partnered with WQED, Mental Health America of Southwestern PA and Excela Health to host a community screening of a Ken Burns documentary, “Hiding in Plain Sight: Youth Mental Illness,” at the university’s Performing Arts Center.

The documentary features first-person accounts from more than 20 youth, ages 11 through 27, who live with mental health conditions and presents perspectives from their parents, teachers, friends and health care

providers, in addition to mental health experts.

The screening was followed by a panel discussion moderated by WQED writer and producer Beth Dolinar with local mental health experts, including Seton Hill alumni Tina Desport, a therapist for Adelphoi and Dawn Diehl, instructor and field director for Seton Hill’s social work program; along with Dr. Charma Dudley, Associate Director of Behavioral Health Services at Beacon Health Options; and Marci Sturgeon-Rusiewicz, Senior Manager of Recovery and Resiliency at Wesley Family Services.

More than 120 people attended the screening and panel discussion.

The Active Minds Send Silence Packing® display featured 1,000 backpacks with photographs and personal stories from individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide. Students were able to walk through the exhibit in Reeves Learning Commons and talk with representatives from local and campus mental health resources.

Military Veterans Continue their Service to Patients at Seton Hill Center for Orthodontics

Orthodontic Residents Allen Sara, Christopher Gregoire, and Heidi Novak, clockwise, are all military veterans.

Drs. Heidi Novak, Christopher Gregoire and Allen Sara are not your typical Seton Hill University Orthodontic residents.

Of course, all three earned both bachelor’s degrees and dental degrees in order to attend Seton Hill’s orthodontic program – just like every other resident.

But the trio – all U.S. military veterans – have experienced life in a much different way than many of their peers.

Novak, a third-year resident, spent 10 years in the Navy and Navy Reserves; Gregoire, a first-year resident, spent nine years in the Navy and Navy reserves; and Sara, a first-year resident, served in the U.S. Army for eight years and is currently in the Army Reserves.

Dr. Daniel Rinchuse, Director of the Seton Hill University Center for Orthodontics, said the three veterans bring a multitude of

talents to the program.

“These are a few words that describe our military orthodontic residents: Integrity, leadership, maturity, commitment, trustworthy, patience, multitasking,” he said.

“Veterans are often described as the most deserving. They have certainly added to the diversity of our program.”

Novak was the first of the veterans to attend the Seton Hill program, and she recruited Gregoire and Sara.

Novak, a native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, heard about Seton Hill through orthodontics program alumna Dr. Lauren Busch, a close friend. Novak graduated from the University of Michigan’s undergraduate and dental school programs, earning her dental degree on the Health Professional Scholarship Program, which offers scholarships to civilian medical and dental schools in exchange for military service.

She spent six years in the active-duty Navy upon graduation from dental school.

She served one year at the Naval Station Norfolk Dental Clinic, three years aboard the USS Mesa Verde as Dental Department Head, and two years at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Dr. Novak plans to return to Michigan after graduating from the Seton Hill Orthodontics program in December and has a position at an orthodontics practice with a family friend.

Dr. Gregoire, a native of Scarborough, Maine, attended Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa. for his undergraduate degree and then attended the University of Maryland for dental school through the Health Professions Scholarship Program.

During his time in dental school, he served in the U.S. Navy Reserves and then entered the active-duty Navy after

orthodontic program at Seton Hill. He continues to serve as a Major in the Army Reserves 4-413th SROTC Battalion.

All three said their military service has been one that has greatly influenced their time in the Orthodontics program at Seton Hill.

“You can definitely tell the three of us have more leadership qualities because of our time in the military and the real-world experience we gained,” Dr. Novak said. “I think our classmates look to us for guidance as well.”

He graduated from The United States Military Academy at West Point and served as an Allen Sara Infantry Officer in the active-duty Army from 2008 to 2016.

His active-duty service included a 12-month deployment to Iraq. He was stationed around the country including at Fort Benning in Georgia, Fort Polk in Louisiana and Fort Campbell in Kentucky, where he was a company commander in the 101st Airborne Division.

He left active duty in 2016 and joined the U.S. Army Reserves, and served as an assistant professor of military science at Vanderbilt University and the University of Michigan ROTC programs.

In 2018, Sara entered dental school at the University of Michigan, graduating earlier this year before entering the

example, they are reaching out to outside dentists or oral surgeons to get that procedure scheduled, which is what they would do when they are practicing. At orthodontics programs attached to large dental schools, they would just refer to someone at the school.

“We’re setting ourselves up much better to be able to treat a variety of cases when we graduate,” Dr. Gregoire said.

When he decided to leave the military, Dr. Sara said he was looking for a profession that had a similar camaraderie.

He decided he could find that in the medical community and was particularly drawn to dentistry.

“I like talking with people. It’s a very social profession,” he said.

Dr. Sara has started a nonprofit to encourage more military veterans to enter the medical profession in some way.

Through his efforts, seven veterans entered dental or medical school last year – and he hopes to encourage more.

“I think veterans in the dental and medical community only enhance it,” he said.

From Private Commissions To Public Art Art education alumna has taken her art public with murals from Florida to her hometown of Export If you give Christina Donahoe ’13, MBA ’16 a flat surface, odds are she can find a way to make it look good.

Christina’s works of art can be seen throughout Florida with an increasing presence in Pennsylvania. This fall she completed a piece at Bechtel Nuclear Engineering Company, which serves the US Navy.

Donahoe’s recent work includes murals in Florida and Pennsylvania, food trucks, portrait commissions, and even a cornhole set.

“I have to applaud my Seton Hill advisors, I would never have ended up in the position I am now without them,” says.

Halfway through college she wasn’t sure she would use the education side of her major, but her advisor suggested she stick with it as a backup.

Developing a K-12 curriculum during her studies gave her a broad exposure to different types of art.

“I had to teach myself The final mural, as seen in September, is located near the end of the Westmoreland Heritage Trail in Export, Pa. to create artwork in all these different styles,” Donahoe said.

“Without that curriculum I might have limited myself to focusing on a certain style. Now there’s no client request I can’t fulfill.”

Donahoe started making art for hire at the age of 16, designing graduation party banners for her older sister’s friends. She moved on to wedding and anniversary party signs and then portraits and gifts for these same occasions.

the side as she wondered if she would still enjoy art if it were her full-time job.

“Art became more demanding and I had to choose,” she recalls.

As she focused on growing her business as a full-time artist, she took on a commission doing some interior signage and a building portrait for a bakery in Crestview, Fla. The back of the building has been tagged with graffiti a few times and wouldn’t come clean so she worked with the owners to design a mural that would cover the blemished wall, marking her first foray into public art.

It changed the town’s perspective on public art – and changed Christina’s business focus to large scale works of public art. She has since created several additional murals in Crestview and her work is spreading across Florida, and now Pennsylvania.

Her mom, who still lives in Export, had kept an eye out for an opportunity to have her daughter’s artwork visible locally. Her chance came in August at Export Floral, and Christina’s work can now be seen at the end of the Westmoreland Heritage Trail. Owner Liz Jones commissioned a mural showing the railroading history of the town to cover a large galvanized metal cooler where she stores her flowers.

Things aren’t going to slow down for Christina any time soon as she continues painting and working on proposals for new murals both in Florida and Pennsylvania.

Alumna’s Poem Bridges the Gap in Greensburg When Sarah Williams-Devereux learned of an opportunity to write a public art poetry piece that would be displayed in Greensburg – home of her alma mater, Seton Hill, she did not hesitate.

“Seton Hill and by extension Greensburg have always been near and dear to my heart,” said Williams-Devereux, a 2000 graduate.

“Being able to do something in the town that was important to me when I was starting out as a writer and an artist in training was important to me. And the opportunity to do community-based work that was really delving into the history of Greensburg – the history of Westmoreland County – that was also interesting to me.”

Williams-Devereux was selected by The Westmoreland Museum of American Art to be a featured writer on Analog Scroll, artist Janet Zweig’s public artwork on Greensburg’s North Main Street bridge from a pool of writers who responded to the Museum's call for artists for the Bridging the Gap public art project. Williams-Devereux created a new site-specific poem commissioned by the Museum.

“The writers selected for the project are required to create a work that relates to one of the following three themes or concepts: the physical site, specifically or to southwestern Pennsylvania; the concept of bridges or bridging; or the idea of “bridging the gap” between downtown Greensburg, the Museum, and the neighborhoods up the hill, or bridging metaphorical gaps such as between classes, neighborhoods, or communities. Sarah’s poem actually relates to all three,” said Claire Ertl, Director of Marketing & Public Relations, The Westmoreland Museum of American Art. The first stanza of her poem, Nexus, was placed on the bridge in May 2022 and will be displayed over the course of one year with a new stanza appearing each month.

So far, the stanzas released read: What this bridge must carry: concrete, rebar, its own careful weight, light enough to rise, strong enough to bear our bodies across, we people of great hills and strong calves and lightning strikes and broken chains, our etched portraits and flower baskets, our quaking greens and numbered schedules, the gold corn bushels and soft coal buckets we dig from the earth, the live weight of our grieving, solid feet.

How can we make these burdens softer for one another, transform this dead weight into living light?

Our struggle: tension and compression, gravity and history, erosion and truth, Us at one end, Them at the other, the invisible center rising between.

Williams-Devereux was born and raised in the City of Pittsburgh and graduated from Mount Lebanon High School in the city’s suburbs.

The art offerings, the small nature of the campus and a significant scholarship helped her choose Seton Hill, where she earned a BFA in Painting.

“I went to school for art but I’ve always been a writer,” she said. “They are sort of two strands of the same path.

I was always writing, and I was always making art and even at Seton Hill I was always still working with words in my art.”

When it came to writing Nexus, she went through many rough drafts and conducted extensive research into the history of Greensburg and Westmoreland County, bridge terms and forces, and the artwork at the Museum.

“I was coming at it from different angles. I was thinking of the literal bridge – what it’s made of. The forces that are working on it. I was thinking about the land it was on – who has lived on it, who has left it, who has joined it,” she said. “I was thinking of the history of the place and the geography of the place. It came in fits and starts.”

She also had to fit each couplet of her poem onto the bridge – with only so many individual physical letters available to her for each.

The artist provided her with a tool that would tell her if she had too many words or too many of the same letters.

“This particular limit was freeing in getting me to think of different ways to come up with a compact piece,” she said.

The last stanza of the poem will be added in May 2023 – and will be on display during Alumni Weekend.

Williams-Devereux can’t reveal the entire poem until those final lines are displayed, but she said it does have a Seton Hill reference.

“If you think of our Alma Mater song, there’s a shout out there,” she said.

Cynthia Wills Black ’76 Stays Connected to Seton Hill

T

he time Cynthia Wills Black ’76 spent as an English major at Seton Hill led to formative moments she carried into her career in finance – and has kept her connected to her alma mater for the past 46 years.

A 2011 Distinguished Alumni Award Recipient, Black recently started her two-year term as the Alumni Advisory Council president. A leadership role feels like a natural fit for Black, who has found many ways to give back to Seton Hill - including years of volunteering on the Alumni Council, serving on the President’s Advisory Council, and participating in annual and campaign fundraising, and leading various alumni special events. To affirm her lifelong commitment to Seton Hill, she established the Cynthia Wills Black ’76 Endowed Scholarship to provide current students with financial assistance that allows them to attain a Seton Hill degree.

Hill, she was a great fit to become a trainer as computers were starting to be a factor in banking.

“My Seton Hill liberal arts education prepared me for a job that didn’t exist at the time,” she says. “My English education degree didn’t have much to do with the field, but it did teach me how to gather, analyze and synthesize information, and to view situations from diverse points of view.”

Cindy learned financial computing skills from the ground up, leveraging her experience into a decades-long career in electronic banking and payments processing.

Black has the unique distinction of being one of Seton Hill’s first external interns. She took Lincoln Coach Lines to downtown Pittsburgh three days a week to write ad copy and scripts at WDVE radio at the urging of her advisor Dr. JoAnne Boyle, who was then on the English faculty.

She served as a senior product consultant and market manager for MasterCard Worldwide, where she created and implemented the American Red Cross client assistance card for delivery of disaster relief benefits. This program is a global model for efficient and effective disbursement of disaster assistance. She also managed the establishment of the United States Treasury Direct Express MasterCard for disbursement of all federal benefits payments. While Cynthia was employed as a vice president with the U.S. Bank Network Services, which is the former Mellon Bank Network Services, she managed the development of new processing and debit card products and features. Cindy also operated her own financial processing consulting firm, and also served as a Senior Vice President in Commercial Cards at Bank of America.

“I wasn’t confident that I could do it, but Dr. Boyle said I could,” Black said. “I took some convincing.”

She credits intellectual curiosity, a willingness to say yes, and flexibility and creativity with her success.

The internship was just one of the many experiences at Seton Hill that pushed her out of her comfort zone. Sr. Lois Sculco encouraged Black to mentor and tutor students in the Opportunity 101 program for two summers.

As she thinks ahead to what employers will be looking for, Black sees a far greater need for communication and critical thinking than for fields that focus solely on the technical aspects of work.

“I got so much from Seton Hill that I feel honored and almost compelled to do something to contribute,” said Black, who believes that she has returned to campus for every Alumni Weekend since her graduation.

While Cindy wasn’t inclined to raise her hand in class, she says that the small class sizes fostered participation. She learned a valuable lesson about speaking up from the late philosophy professor John Blyer, who told a young Black, “You have valuable things to say. From now on, say them.”

Those words stayed with Black throughout her career, though she never could have imagined where she would end up as an English major in the 1970s.

After a year of teaching high school, she moved for her husband’s job and found employment as a bank teller. “My goal was simply to stay employed,” she said.

The bank sought her out to be involved in their training program because of her background in education. Coupled with the communication skills and mentoring experience Cindy gained at Seton

“As more work is being done via automation, soft skills are becoming even more valuable,” she said.

She is encouraged to see the trajectory of today’s Seton Hill.

“I’m proud to see that the school has thrived,” Black said. “It’s a testament to the mission and leadership of the organization and the imagination of academics and of student life.”

Although your days as a student at Seton Hill may be behind you by years or even decades, Black encourages all alumni to stay aware of the opportunities to come back and be involved.

“I firmly believe that alumni need to be included in the current life of the university. Your education and connection to Seton Hill isn’t just something that has happened in the past,” she said.

“I encourage alumni to participate in life-long learning and enrichment programming offered through the alumni office. I hope to see you either on the Hill or online soon!”

Anita Evelyn Lavin Manoli

A

nita Evelyn Lavin Manoli first enrolled at Seton Hill College in 1948 as a Spanish major. Twenty years later – after a career, marriage and children – she would finally complete her degree and embark on a second career teaching Spanish at the high school level and as adjunct faculty at Seton Hill.

Anita Evelyn Lavin Manoli – a dedicated Seton Hill alumna and benefactor – died June 24, 2022, at age 92.

After graduating from Latrobe High School in 1948, Anita enrolled at Seton Hill College as a Spanish major but did not complete her degree.

She then enrolled in Pittsburgh Business School and worked at KDKA Radio after graduation. When a job opportunity at Kennametal Inc. became available, Anita returned to Latrobe.

Anita married her husband Charles "Chuck" Manoli in 1951.

The couple were married for 65 years and had five children.

Anita later returned to Seton Hill and completed her bachelor of arts degree in Spanish in 1968. She would ultimately earn her master’s degree in Hispanic languages and literature at the University of Pittsburgh. She taught Spanish for 25 years in the Derry Area School District and spent a final year teaching as a Spanish adjunct professor at Seton Hill. During her career, Anita also studied in Spain and taught English as a second language in Mexico and France.

In retirement, Anita was an active volunteer and community leader. In addition to helping Seton Hill with fundraising and alumni special event efforts, she served as a docent at the Westmoreland Museum of American Art in Greensburg and was a member of its women's committee. She was a recipient of the Museum’s Volunteer of the Year Award.

She was a member of the Greensburg Art Center and the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art in Ligonier.

Always engaged in civic affairs, Anita was appointed to the Latrobe Industrial Development Authority (LIDA) in 1969 at its inception and continued her membership on LIDA until her death, serving as its chair from time to time.

A Distinguished Alumna of Seton Hill, Anita, along with Chuck, created The Anita Lavin Manoli ’52 Endowed Scholarship to support Seton Hill students.

“Anita Manoli's dedication to her family, to Seton Hill and to her community were tremendous,” said Seton Hill President Mary Finger. “Anita had an amazing impact on the lives of countless students, and she will continue to do so for generations to come through the generous scholarship she and her late husband, Chuck established at Seton Hill. We are grateful for their incredible friendship.”

Victoria Marie Gribschaw, SC, Class of 1970 • Distinguished Alumna Leadership Award

Sister Victoria Marie Gribschaw began her journey at Seton Hill as a recipient of the Sisters of Charity Undergraduate Teaching Scholarship – often referred to as “the plan” – but a calling led her in a different direction. In January 1961, she entered the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill and began teaching in the Pittsburgh Catholic Schools staffed by the Sisters. She would earn her bachelor’s degree in chemistry in 1970 by taking Saturday and summer courses. Sister Victoria Marie then pursued her master’s degree in family resources/home economics education from West Virginia University, allowing her to join the Seton Hill faculty in 1974. Over four decades of service to Seton Hill, Sister Victoria Marie helped to establish the University’s business program, served as Chair of the Family and Consumer Sciences Department, Director of the Family Studies Program and as Chair of the Division of Social Studies. In addition to teaching courses in Family and Consumer Sciences and Business, she developed and taught courses in the liberal arts core curriculum. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, many of her students were displaced homemakers with children and her study and research focused on how economic and social justice intersect.

Indeed, her dissertation to achieve a doctorate in consumer and family economics at The Ohio State University focused on Factors that Affect Economic Mobility Among Single Female Heads of Households with Children. Her interest in the development of student leadership led her to serve as Class Advisor for the classes of 1978, 1984, 1994, and, with the Class of 2000, she helped establish The Millennium Scholarship for class officers and student government leaders. She published and presented on topics including poverty and economic mobility, family dynamics and educational strategies, holds membership in numerous professional organizations, twice served as President of the Pennsylvania Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, and held three-year terms as both the Secretary and Treasurer of the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences. She continues a legacy of volunteerism as a lector and Eucharistic Minister at the Blessed Sacrament Cathedral in Greensburg and as Chaplain for the Seton Hill women’s basketball team.

Katherine Clare Smith, Class of 2012 + • Young Alumni Achievement

The late Katherine Clare Smith was studying nursing at Penn State University in 2007 when she suffered a devastating spinal cord injury in a car accident, leaving her quadriplegic. In the 15 years that followed, until her death on February 27, 2022, her courage and determination propelled new personal and professional accomplishments as she invested in others and fought for justice. Katie, who grew up in Stahlstown, Westmoreland County, spent six months recovering from the accident and decided to return to college for teaching when she was told she could not complete the clinical portion of her nursing education. She enrolled at Seton Hill, and, in 2012, graduated with a psychology degree and elementary and special education certificates. She started her career as a private tutor and substitute teacher. Katie honed her public speaking skills, developing a program she presented to students to cultivate inclusive environments and promote self-advocacy for young people. At the nonprofit Patient Education & Advocacy Leadership (PEAL) Center in Pittsburgh, she designed and coordinated curriculum and events for transitioning youths with special needs. She later worked with vulnerable community members through Disabilities Options Network in Greensburg. Katie also became an accomplished athlete, competing nationally with the Pittsburgh Steelwheelers quadriplegic rugby team.

Ryann Bradley, M.B.A., Class of 2007

Whether he’s at work as a finance professional or on the athletic field, M.B.A. graduate Ryann Bradley maintains the same level of dedication, high standards and strong work ethic. Bradley, who serves as the Director of Reimbursement for Heritage Valley Health System, earned a bachelor’s degree in sports management and economics from Bethany College, where he was men’s soccer team captain and First Team All PAC. He landed a marketing and legal internship with the National Hockey League’s Buffalo Sabres, where he wrote promotional game ad scripts for “American Movie Classics” and conducted an improvement assessment of HSBC Arena (now KeyBank Center). He enrolled in Seton Hill’s M.B.A program in 2005 and served as men’s assistant soccer coach. He brought to Seton Hill experience as operations manager with the Super Y League, as assistant boys’ soccer coach for Sewickley Academy and as a professional goalkeeper for the United Soccer Leagues (West Virginia Chaos and Pittsburgh Riverhounds). At Seton Hill, Ryann combined his interests in business and sports by managing the soccer team budget, fundraising for the athletic department, recruiting 18 student-athletes in two seasons, and tracking athletic scholarship dollars. Always balancing his career with pursuing higher education, he completed a Master of Accounting degree from Chatham University in 2011. He has held positions as services analyst for Deloitte Services, LP; Chief Financial Officer for Highlands Hospital; controller for LifePoint Health; director of revenue cycle reporting and analytics for Allegheny Health Network; senior consultant and project lead at Revenue Cycle Solutions, LLC; and multiple posts at UPMC. A coach with the Developmental Academy of the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, Ryann was also active with the Beadling Soccer Club in Pittsburgh. He has given back to Seton Hill through service as the former president of the Seton Hill Alumni Association Board, now known as the Alumni Advisory Council, and he currently serves as a Grant Scholar Mentor through the university’s Ruth O’Block Grant Endowed Scholarship Program.

Susan Mallery, M.A., Class of 2004

Susan Mallery had published dozens of successful books when she enrolled in Seton Hill’s master’s in Writing Popular Fiction Program. Today, she is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than 170 novels about the relationships that define women’s lives – family, friendship, and romance. Her warm, humorous stories have been published in 28 languages, and 40 million copies have sold worldwide. Susan grew up a voracious reader in the Los Angeles area. While studying accounting in college, she enrolled in a course on how to write a romance novel and quickly realized she was meant to write the genre.

She was straight out of college with an accounting degree when she published her first two books in 1992. Susan had been looking for the right master’s degree program when she discovered Seton Hill. She had an epiphany during the “amazing” program that took her writing to the next level. A foray into women’s fiction led her to explore other relationships that are important to women – sisters, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, and friends. She made lasting friends as well, among them Dr. Lee Tobin McClain, professor of English and a fellow romance novelist, and classmate Jenel Looney, who as Susan’s virtual assistant handles the non-writing side of her career. To give back, Susan mentors up-and-coming writers with both their writing and marketing. Her popular Writing More workshop has helped hundreds of writers, and she has given one-on-one guidance to many. She introduces other talented authors’ books to her active social media followers – 139,000 on Facebook alone. Outside of writing, she is passionate about animal welfare and has served on the board of Seattle Humane.

Straja Linder King, M.A., Class of 1997

Straja Linder King graduated from Seton Hill with a master’s degree in art therapy and became one of the first Canadians to earn a designation with the American Art Therapy Association (AATA). A board-certified therapist in Calgary, Alberta, Straja holds a bachelor’s degree and a bachelor of fine arts degree with distinction from the University of Calgary. The path to her pioneering animal-assisted art therapy work started in 1992 when Straja volunteered at a hospice facility, taking her art supplies and dog Kuzel. Over three years, she observed how the residents and their families connected with Kuzel and decided to pursue professional work in art therapy. At Seton Hill, Straja’s practicum in a day hospice inspired her to continue her work in palliative care and bereavement. Today, along with teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, Straja operates a private practice – Strawberry Moon Art Studio. Her specialties are clinical art therapy, psychotherapy and animal-assisted interventions (AAI), including canine and equine. Straja works in complicated bereavement, including pet loss with the Humane Society, gerontology, and with people living on the autism spectrum. Her innovative approach merging animal assistance and art mitigates anxiety surrounding the issues being treated. Straja’s tireless volunteer work over 20 years with Calgary’s most vulnerable residents has helped people of all ethnicities, including Indigenous Peoples. She and her therapy dogs work in schools, hospitals, palliative and corrections facilities, and provide comfort care and support at funerals and memorial services. Straja teaches at the University of Lethbridge and codesigned the master’s art therapy specialization degree at St. Stephen’s College. She has written several book chapters and articles on animal-assisted eco-art therapy and conducts ongoing research surrounding animal-assisted interventions. In 2017, the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) honored her dog, Twillow Rose, as “Hero Therapy Dog,” the first to be recognized for the contributions and merging with her art therapy work. Straja’s first therapy dog, Tangus, received the “Heart of the Hero” for his therapy work in Alberta. Two of her therapy dogs were featured on the international television series “Pet Heroes – Legacy of Hope.” In 2017, Straja received the Distinguished Clinical Award – Non-Verbal Modalities from the AATA for her dedication to clients and creative approach merging animal-assisted interventions along with her clinical art therapy work.

Jodee Harris, Class of 1992

Jodee Harris has meshed her Seton Hill degree in Visual Arts Management with financial expertise – skills she also taps as a volunteer for community organizations. After graduating, she was employed as gallery supervisor at Warner Bros. Studio Store in Monroeville, Pa.; museum shop manager for the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy at Fallingwater in Mill Run, Pa.; and the Frick Art & Historical Center in Pittsburgh. In 2000, she completed a Master of Arts degree at Duquesne University. Since 2007, she has worked as a financial advisor at First Commonwealth Advisors in Greensburg, building on previous experience at three financial institutions in the Pittsburgh area. She is grateful for Seton Hill’s support as she built her career and said her liberal arts education prepared her for a multitude of changes in the world that impacted both her career and personal life. Jodee names as mentors the late President JoAnne Boyle and Josefa Filkosky, as well as art professors Maureen Vissat Kochanek and Carol Brode. A six-year winner of the Five Star Financial Advisor Award, she was included in the Wall Street Journal Women in Wealth 2019 and was named the 2021 Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce Volunteer of the Year. She considers her most important accomplishment to be her ability to give back to the community through donations of time and financial support. “None of the things I do are done for recognition; they are done out of love for my community.”

She volunteers for Latrobe’s Great American Banana Split Celebration as the official merchandise coordinator, special activities coordinator and sponsor of the Banana Split Princess Pageant. She also coordinates Hometown Holiday in Latrobe, a vlog about local holiday activities created by her daughter. Jodee’s leadership support of Seton Hill led the university to name the Jodee Harris Gallery at the Seton Hill Arts Center in her honor.

Dr. Barbara Ella Milton Jr., Class of 1982

Barbara Ella Milton Jr., a clinical social worker and supervisor, social work educator, child welfare advocate, activist, social media producer and resilience expert, has been an impactful social change agent for the wellness of at-risk youths and families for decades. She earned a degree in social work from Seton Hill, a master’s from Rutgers University and her doctorate from The City University of New York. She has worked in a variety of settings on behalf of high-risk children, families and young adults, sharing her knowledge as an educator and mentor at graduate schools in the New Jersey/New York metro area. Barbara was a contributor to the “Confessions of a Welfare Mom” series and co-authored the book, “The Great Pause: Blessings and Wisdom from COVID-19.” She produced and hosted “The Dr. Milton Social Work Show” on Comcast Public Access and YouTube to educate the community about social welfare issues and the social work profession. Now retired, Barbara lives with and actively manages bladder cancer, spending her time writing books, articles for newspapers, peer-review journals and anthologies on mental health.

In November 2021, she released “Heeding the Caregiver Call: The Story of Barbara Ella Milton, Sr. and Alzheimer’s Disease.”

The book is a memoir about her mother, whom she lost to the disease in 2019. She calls the book “a love story” about mending their relationship during her mother’s illness. Her current book collaboration, “Inherited Wisdom: Drawing on the Lessons of Formerly Enslaved Ancestors to Lift Up Black Youth,” was released in May 2022. This text underscores how practitioners and lay people alike can highlight the strength, fortitude, resilience, and community found in the narratives of enslaved forebears to help young people recover hope for the future. Barbara volunteers with several professional associations and serves on the boards of nonprofits concerned with issues of women and girls and disadvantaged youth. She is a tireless advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion. She is the last co-chair of the National Association of Social Workers, New Jersey Chapter, Hudson County Unit and was named 2014 Social Worker of the Year.

Lillie R. Pang, Class of 1977

With a self-designed major at Seton Hill focused on education, psychology and religion, Lillie Pang felt prepared for leadership and stepping into diverse settings as a teacher in classrooms across the United States and abroad. She later earned a master’s degree from Seattle University. “Education provided a pathway out of poverty for me. Because of that, I have dedicated 43 years of my life to teaching,” she notes. Growing up in inner city Washington, D.C., she attended St. Martin de Porres, a Black Catholic church. She chose Black Catholics as her senior thesis topic and credits Sister Susan Jenny, her advisor, with approving the topic and providing excellent feedback. Lillie started teaching at the Oneida Nation reservation in Wisconsin and moved on to parochial schools in five states and the International School of the Sacred Heart in Tokyo, Japan. She joined Minneapolis Public Schools in 1999 and served as principal in five elementary schools, retiring from Hiawatha Community School in 2020. Her Christian values led her to become an apostolic volunteer with the Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters in Wisconsin, teach with the Irish Sisters of Mercy in California, lead the religion department at Madonna High School in Chicago, and volunteer as a trainer for the SEED Project (Seeking Education Equity and Diversity).

During the 1980s AIDS epidemic, her pledge “to act critically, creatively and ethically” inspired her to convince Madonna High School administrators to educate students about AIDS through religion classes. Her work has earned the President’s Award for Outstanding Merit from St. Mary’s University and the Division Leadership Award from the Minnesota Elementary School Principals’ Association, which named her a finalist for the National Distinguished Principals Award.

Katherine Olivia Haile, Class of 1974 • Award for Military Service

A year after graduating from Seton Hill with a bachelor’s degree in social welfare, Katherine Haile enlisted in the Army and spent three years of active-duty service as a substance abuse counselor. She stayed the course for 37 years in government service, a career devoted to assisting service members with substance abuse issues as a counselor, treatment coordinator, clinical director and program manager at posts in five states as well as Korea and Japan. From her start as a counselor at an Army Brigade in Florida, she rose to chief administrator for the Army Substance Abuse Program for Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia, managing a 40-member staff. “In many ways the Seton Hill mission is in line with the U.S. Army values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage,” Kathy said. “I have followed these principles throughout my life.” She also served in the Army Reserves for a decade as an administrative Non-Commissioned Officer and is the recipient of numerous Army commendations and awards, including the Superior Civilian Service Award. She earned master’s degrees in guidance and counseling from Rider University and in social and community organizations from Capella University. An active volunteer at military installations and in her community, she worked with local Girl Scout troops; as a docent at the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace in Savannah; and as an instructor for “A Presidential Classroom for Young Americans.” Last fall, she was selected to participate in “Operation HerStory,” the first all-female Honor Flight from Chicago, which paid tribute to 92 women veterans from all service branches during WWII, Korea, and the Vietnam War. “Above all else, I was a working single mom and provided for the best education I could for a very successful daughter.”

Linda Hunchuck Chambers, Class of 1972

Linda Hunchuck Chambers, who studied fine and studio arts at Seton Hill, was working as a relocation specialist for a federal housing program in her hometown of Masontown, Pa., while painting signs and designing logos when her career path took an unconventional turn. In 1976, she was hired as one of the first female underground coal miners in the nation.

After five years as a union miner, she accepted a job in Gateway Mine’s safety department and became a certified mine foreman. She was promoted to safety supervisor, charged with enforcing state and federal safety laws. Beginning in 1985, while working day shift at the mine, Linda attended Duquesne University School of Law at night. She graduated in four years and started her law career at a firm in Washington, Pa. In 1991, she and a female colleague opened a law office in Waynesburg. She proudly notes that it remains a woman-owned business. In 2004, she accepted a job as assistant district attorney in Greene County while maintaining her private practice. Promoted to first assistant district attorney a year later, she prosecuted serious criminal cases for 13 years. She considers her most important career accomplishment to be “obtaining justice for many abused children.” Linda puts Seton Hill’s values into practice through volunteering with many civic organizations, including the boards of United Cerebral Palsy of Southwestern PA (now Pathways), the Greene County Planning Commission, and the Human Services Advisory Board. Since her 2014 retirement from the District Attorney’s Office and private practice, she has taught Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure at Waynesburg University and served on the boards of the Greene County Humane Society, Greene County Industrial Development Authority and Greene County Industrial Developments, Inc.

Sr. Barbara Ann Smelko, SC, Class of 1972 • Award for Service

Over six decades, Sister of Charity Barbara Ann Smelko has traveled the country and the globe as a teacher, pianist and organist, and student of music and liturgy. Along with music ministry, she works to better her community by “transforming the world critically, creatively, and ethically where and with whom one lives.” A Seton Hill music major in piano with a minor in organ, Sister Barbara Ann earned a graduate degree in church music and liturgy at St. Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Ind. As a church musician, she has played music, directed vocal and handbell choirs, and taught students ranging from pre-school to college. A music and liturgy coordinator at numerous parishes and schools as well as with the Sisters of Charity, she is mindful of inclusive language when choosing hymns and prayer items for services and draws attention to social justice facets she gleans from scripture. When the Black Lives Matter movement led her to reflect on racism, she joined the NAACP, calling it “a first step in communing with my Black brothers and sisters one-on-one.” She serves on the Seton Hill University Alumni Advisory Council and is on the university’s chapel organist/music team. She chairs the Sisters of Charity Provincial Environmental Team to implement Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ and the Vatican’s action platform to protect the Earth. Since 2014, she has been the full-time coordinator of the Sisters of Charity Garden Project at the Caritas Christi Motherhouse, overseeing its expansion to include a Garden Shed, bat house and butterfly garden. Her proudest achievements include a two-year ministry in Kang Jin, South Korea, teaching conversational English to students of St. Joseph High School and to fellow sisters; directing the purchase and installation of a three-manual organ for Caritas Christi; and celebrating her 60th jubilee year as a Sister of Charity in 2020. As a member of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill, being present for the unveiling of the historic marker at the foot of Seton Hill Drive noting the 150 years of the congregation’s service to the church and to the people of Western Pennsylvania in August of 2021, was a treasured moment.

Rosalyn C. King, Class of 1959

Rosalyn C. King has carried the lessons she learned during her time at Seton Hill and with the Sisters of Charity throughout her 50-year career as a pharmacist and an author, professor, consultant and advisor in global health.

Rosalyn earned a bachelor’s degree in pharmacy at Duquesne University in 1962, a master’s in public health from the University of California at Los Angeles and her Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Southern California.

In 1967, she became the first African-American professional pharmacist to work for the American Pharmacists Association in Washington, D.C. Rosalyn cherishes a souvenir plate imprinted with Seton Hill’s motto – Hazard Yet Forward – purchased by her late mother, noting: “It encouraged me, as an African-American female, to persevere in the face of discrimination, disappointment and discouragement to continue on my God-given path.” That path has taken her to locations across Africa, the Near East, Australia, Asia, Europe, South America and the Caribbean. She led the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in developing a guidance document on providing pharmaceuticals as a part of its health care assistance packages and managed a team of pharmacists in crafting a key service and care component of the President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief project. During nearly two decades at Howard University as a program manager in its Office of International Programs, she collaborated with more than 2,500 pharmacists and managers from many countries to enhance their knowledge and skills. In another era of her career, she served as director of the International Health Institute at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles. A resident of Silver Spring, Md., she currently serves as a trustee of the National Pharmaceutical Association Foundation.

GRIFFIN NOTES

Seton Hill Athletes Achieve Academic Success Seton Hill Achieves Highest Overall GPA in PSAC, 360 Griffins Named PSAC Scholar Athletes

Seton Hill University's athletic teams achieved the highest grade point average among all schools in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference during the 2021-22 academic year.

The Griffins attained an overall GPA of 3.453 in 2021-22, the highest overall GPA in Seton Hill’s nine years in the PSAC. Seton Hill has had the highest overall GPA in the PSAC in six of the last nine years.

In addition, four teams – women's cross country, women’s golf, baseball, and football – earned the Top Team GPA Award in their respective sports in the PSAC, which includes 18 public and private institutions in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The men’s and women’s basketball teams, men’s and women’s track and field teams, and the volleyball team all placed second.

More than 60% of Seton Hill student athletes earned a cumulative GPA of 3.25 and were honored as PSAC Scholar Athletes. Gannon led the league with 362 Scholar Athletes on the list while the Griffins were second with 360, representing 61% of student athletes on the Hill.

“I am very proud of all of our student-athletes' commitment to athletic and academic excellence," said Executive Director for Athletics Chris Snyder. “While the PSAC is well known for its fiercely competitive athletics, the competition is just as fierce in the classroom. The fact that our athletes finished with the highest grade point average in the PSAC is testament to their hard work, dedication, and commitment to the mission of Seton Hill University.”

In addition to their success in the PSAC, the Griffins placed 215 student athletes on the D2ADA Award list for the 2021-22 academic year.

Seton Hill finished second in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference behind Mercyhurst and tied with Embry Riddle for the fifth most in the country. The PSAC earned the designation as the Division II conference leader with the most students listed for the fourth straight year. To earn this award, students must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 and have completed at least two years of college level work.

Hartman Fifth Griffin to Earn Two-Time First Team All-American

After winning the conference titles in 110 and 400 meter hurdles, 2021-22 PSAC Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Athlete of the Year Samuel Hartman was named to the CoSIDA Academic All American Division II Cross Country/Track and Field Team as a first team selection for the second straight time. He becomes the fourth Griffin to be a two-time first team Academic All American, joining Tyler Zimmer ’15 (football) and Josh Wilks ’17 and Mallory Sanner ’15 (track and field).

Women’s Basketball Posts Highest GPA in NCAA Over Last Eight Years

The women’s basketball team placed 20th in Division II in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Division II Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll. This is the eighth consecutive year and 13th time in the last 14 years that the Griffins have earned a spot in the WBCA Academic Top 25.

Seton Hill is the only school in the NCAA to consistently post a GPA of 3.643 or higher over the past eight years.

The Griffins are one of just seven Division II schools to win 21 or more games and place in the top 20 for their team GPA during the 2021-22 season.

Women's Basketball Celebrating Centennial Season Women’s basketball Centennial festivities began during Homecoming Weekend Saturday, October 8, 2022. Events included alumni being recognized on the field during the Homecoming football game, Pa. State Rep. Bob Brooks presenting a proclamation in honor of the team’s 100th anniversary, a pre-game gathering, and an alumni game in the McKenna Center.

“This Centennial celebration encompasses all the great elements of Seton Hill University, college athletics and women's sports all at once,” said Mark Katarski, women’s basketball head coach. “The forward thinking of the students and staff to begin intercollegiate athletics in 1922 shows the entrepreneurial and pioneering spirit of Seton Hill and the Sisters of Charity.”

Save the Date for the Centennial Celebration on Wednesday, February 1, 2023 as Seton Hill takes on IUP at 5:30 p.m. – a matchup that first took place 100 years ago.

Desiree Saether Desiree Saether had picked another college as her first choice until she toured Seton Hill, and four years later, the opportunities that have been opened up to her have proved she made the right decision.

“I have been able to grow as a student and a person while attending Seton Hill,” said Saether, a senior pre-med major from Bethel Park, Pa. “The memories I have made here hold a special place in my heart. From an academic standpoint, I feel like my professors have taught me well and are always supportive of me and my future career goals. I know the transition to graduate school will not be difficult since my professors push me to excel in classes and are always available to talk.”

Saether is especially grateful for the generous scholarship support she has received at Seton Hill, and, in particular, The Ruth O’Block Grant Endowed Scholarship, which has provided her a mentor and leadership opportunities that have helped her grow.

“All the scholarships I have received alleviate the financial burden associated with higher education,” she said. “I am grateful that Seton Hill and generous donors have made it feasible for me to attend school since they eliminated this obstacle. It also feels very rewarding that I received scholarships; my hard work is being recognized and I feel fulfilled.”

Jennifer Makowski ’11 Jennifer Makowski ’11 still remembers the excitement of alumni gift giving as a Student Ambassador Phonathon caller when she was a student at Seton Hill. Receiving generous academic and theater scholarships when she was a student prompted Jennifer to start giving back as soon as she graduated.

“I want to pay it forward as much as I can,” Jennifer said of her annual donations to support Seton Hill students.

Jennifer started working with Bonnie Walker Events during her senior year and still holds a part-time role on the team where she gets to put the skills she learned in her theater production classes into practice in staging events across the country and beyond.

In addition, Jennifer uses her liberal arts background today in her full-time job as a Vice President in the COO Office of PNC’s Corporate Real Estate team. She started with PNC more than a decade ago and has risen through the ranks with roles in guest services, community relations, and now corporate real estate.

Although Jennifer has come far in her career with PNC, she still remembers the excitement of leaving home and going to college and later graduating and starting her career. In addition to financial support for her alma mater, Jennifer also volunteers her time by working with current students on the Hill as they prepare to make the transition from college to career.

Mike Figueroa Mike Figueroa had never heard of Seton Hill before being recruited for the men’s soccer team, but the warm welcome he received when he came to campus for a visit made him feel that he had found a new home for the next four years.

Attending Seton Hill meant stepping out of his comfort zone and moving hours away from his friends and family in Maryland.

“It was a challenge,” Mike said. “Coming into a team helped a lot. A lot of my teammates were in similar situations, and we formed our own family here.”

Mike also got involved in other campus activities, including being a Student Ambassador. Scholarships have provided financial support as Mike nears completion of his Seton Hill education.

“Everyone knows who you are,” Mike said. “You get to build a lot of connections.”

Mike is finishing his senior year by balancing a full-time remote internship in human resources with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield with his last year of business classes and his final soccer season as a Griffin. He will start a full-time job with the company after graduating in May with a degree in Business Administration specializing in Human Resources and Marketing. He hopes one day to open his own business in the fitness industry.

Jade Taylor When Jade Taylor graduates at Seton Hill’s Commencement in May, she will have achieved something she once thought impossible - earning a bachelor’s degree.

“The scholarships I have received at Seton Hill have given me the opportunity to attend a prestigious four-year university, when I was originally only destined to attend a twoyear community college,” said Jade, a senior from Georgetown, Del. “As a student who has to pay for her education on her own, scholarship support has allowed me to gain an education that I would not have been able to afford without.”

Jade said she is grateful for all of her experiences at Seton Hill in the classroom as an elementary and special education major as well as the memories and friendships she has made.

“I would like to thank the generous donors who support Seton Hill students through scholarship giving,” she said. “I am beyond grateful for the opportunities I have been given through the scholarships I have received. Their generosity has helped shape me into the future educator and woman I am destined to be.”

Class of 1972 Celebrates 50th Reunion

The Class of 1972 celebrated their 50th Reunion during Alumni Weekend in June at a special dinner at Regina House, the Seton Hill presidential home.

During the dinner, Class Reunion Chair Anne Brower presented the class gift of $23,010 to Seton Hill University to Provost Sister Susan Yochum, a member of the Class of 1977.

“Your devotion is deeply appreciated and sends an important message to our students as well as to our youngest alumni,” Yochum told the class members. “You set a wonderful example for them to follow.”

Andrew and Rebecca Sally DeMase Andrew and Rebecca Sally DeMase believe in the importance of giving back to Seton Hill because of how integral the university has been in their lives.

Andrew, who earned his undergraduate degree in 2009 and his MBA in 2011, and Rebecca, who earned her Physician Assistant graduate degree in 2011, met during graduate studies at Seton Hill and were married in 2015. They now have a son, Dante.

Andrew works as the U.S. National Sales Manager at Univar Solutions, while Rebecca is a board-certified physician assistant specializing in dermatology at Seraly Dermatology.

“We really grew as individuals and as a couple while we were at Seton Hill,” Rebecca said. “It’s a place that’s special to us, and we feel provided a lot of good things in our lives. We feel it’s good to give back to the institution that provided so much to us.”

Andrew, who received several scholarships as an undergraduate and received his MBA through a graduate assistant position, said he left Seton Hill with very little debt and feels a responsibility to pay that forward through the regular donations he and Rebecca make to the university. He encourages others to do the same.

“If you’re capable of giving back then you should,” he said. “That’s kind of been our motto. Your donations can positively impact students right now. It gives somebody else that same opportunity that was given to you.”

Ashley Harrold ʼ05 Ashley Harrold’s connections to Seton Hill began long before she was recruited to the university to help build the women’s tennis program.

Ashley, a 2005 Seton Hill alumna, attended Elizabeth Seton Montessori School Pre K- Kindergarten taught by Sister of Charity Anita Schulte, while one of her tennis instructors in elementary and high school was Kim Kissell, the Griffins’ current tennis coach.

Ashley, who tragically died in a vehicle accident in February 2022, was a four-year Captain of the Seton Hill University Women’s Tennis team and helped lead the team to their first conference division championship.

She received many awards during her athletic career, including being named 1st Team All Mid-East Conference Tennis Singles Selection, 2002 – 2005 and was recognized as part of the YWCA Westmoreland County Sportswoman College Tennis Team Member in 2005.

After graduation, she moved to Hilton Head Island, SC, becoming a tennis pro at Dennis Van Der Meer Tennis University. She then met her husband, Garrett Hamilton, and had two sons, Graeme and Grady.

When her sister Noelle Harrold ’10 followed in her footsteps and joined the Griffins tennis team, Ashley would host the team in her home during spring break.

Ashley worked in marketing for various businesses and was involved with nonprofits such as the Humane Society; Osprey Village, an organization which works to empower adults with developmental disabilities; and the Island Council for the Arts.

She made many lifelong friends on the Hill and would often get together for weekend trips with her college roommates.

In the wake of her passing, Ashley’s family, including her parents, Kenneth and Kathleen Harrold, and sister, Noelle, created a scholarship at Seton Hill in her memory. Through contributions by the Harrolds, as well as their friends, family members and Ashley’s classmates and teammates, The Ashley Lauren Harrold ’05 Memorial Endowed Scholarship will provide opportunities for others to attain a Seton Hill education.

“Ashley’s time at Seton Hill was very special to her, and our family wanted to acknowledge just how important the university was to her life,” Noelle Harrold said. “We hope that through this scholarship, Ashley’s memory will live on at Seton Hill and help students fulfill their educational goals.”

Doug Wood Golf Classic Supports Student Athletes Seton Hill held the Doug Wood Golf Classic in June at Arnold Palmer’s Latrobe Country Club. More than $35,000 was raised to support Griffin athletics. The university extends its thanks to all the golfers who participated as well as the event sponsors for their tremendous support, especially title sponsor PJ Dick/ Trumbull/Lindy Group.

The event honors the late Doug Wood, who served as a Trustee of Seton Hill University from 2000 to 2008. His leadership was instrumental as Seton Hill was building both its athletic programs and the Performing Arts Center. Seton Hill’s annual athletics golf outing was named in his honor 14 years ago.

Proceeds from the event support Seton Hill athletic programs and the Douglas J. Wood Memorial Endowed Scholarship, which provides assistance to academically talented student-athletes with financial need.

Members of the late Doug Wood’s family, including his widow, Valerie Wood; their son, Douglas E. Wood ’11; daughter-in-law, Chelsie; and grandsons, Dewey, Henry and Jackson participated in the Doug Wood Golf Classic.

Dear Alumni and Friends, Thank you for your extraordinary generosity. We are truly grateful for all you do to help Seton Hill students ensure they have an education of the highest quality in the tradition of the Sisters of Charity.

The Seton Hill University Heritage Society recognizes alumni and friends who remember Seton Hill in their wills or through other estate planning arrangements. Individuals who support Seton Hill through leadership gifts to create and support general and scholarship endowment funds are also listed here because these commitments make a lasting difference in the lives of our students and have a positive impact on the long-term financial health of the university.

We appreciate the steadfast devotion of the alumni and friends who remain engaged in the life of Seton Hill. We acknowledge, in a special way, the benefactors who have made the decision to name Seton Hill in their estate plans to support students - among them members of the Class of 1972 who celebrated their milestone 50th graduation anniversary in 2022.

For more information about the Heritage Society and how you can have a lasting impact on the lives of Seton Hill students, please reach out to me at shimko@setonhill.edu or at 724-830-4620. I am also pleased to welcome to Seton Hill Cecilia Hughes, our Director of Gift Planning. Cecilia may be reached at cahughes@setonhill.edu or at 724-830-4636. We look forward to working with you to perpetuate your legacy for future generations of Setonians.

As always, your financial planner is the best source of information related to your personal circumstances.

Thank you for the important role you play in helping Seton Hill students transform the world.

Sincerely,

Molly Robb Shimko Vice President for Institutional Advancement

Christmas Traditions Bring Seton Hill Community Together

Thinking of Christmas time at Seton Hill brings memories of campus traditions - from Christmas on the Hill to the Crib Ceremony to the Wassail Toast.

On November 29, the Classes of 2026, 2025 and 2024 hosted their annual class traditions - with one bringing back a tradition dating to Mother Aloysia Lowe.

The Class of 2026 kicked off the evening with the 43rd Annual Crib Ceremony, an event filled with readings, prayers and the singing of Christmas hymns as the nativity figures are placed in the manger scene.

On Admin Lawn, the Class of 2025 then held a Light-Up Night with a new twist. A massive wreath hanging from the front porch of the building was lit and the bells of Saint Joseph Chapel were rung as LED candles were lit in the windows of Admin.

The Admin candles date back to the arrival of the Sisters of Charity to Greensburg under the leadership of Mother Aloysia Lowe. After Admin - the original Motherhouse of the Sisters was built - new Sisters arriving by train would be greeted by 64 candles in the windows and the bells ringing.

Finally, the Class of 2024 held the annual Wassail Toast in honor of the Class of 2023 - who are spending their final Christmas as students at Seton Hill.

Seton Hill students continue to find joy in these Christmas traditions that make the campus feel like home.
