Dear Alumni and Friends, Forward.

It’s a word that Setonians of all eras feel a strong connection with.

From the Seton family motto, “Hazard yet Forward,” to the name of this very magazine, Forward is at the heart of the Seton Hill experience.

For the rest of the world, “forward” is defined as “onward so as to make progress; toward a successful conclusion.”

For Setonians who have been part of our campus over more than 100 years, “forward” means carving your own path while learning to walk with others. It means making lifelong relationships and building the skills you need to go out and transform the world.

Over the past year, Seton Hill set out to update its brand messaging and website in order to attract prospective students and their parents, build stronger relationships with alumni and friends and generate overall community engagement and awareness.

And as students, faculty, staff and alumni were interviewed about their Seton Hill experiences, one word kept rising to the top: Forward.

When it became clear that everyone’s “forward” is different, that what they wanted or needed out of their Seton Hill education was different and that what Seton Hill offered them was different, the message came to the forefront.

Seton Hill is a place where you can “Find Your Forward.”

Beyond a marketing slogan, “Find Your Forward” truly gets to the heart of Seton Hill. It’s a place where students can find themselves and who they want to be professionally, personally, spiritually.

You’ll be seeing ads - online and in the real world - with the Find Your Forward tagline and with other word pairings like Move Forward, Achieve Forward, Faith Forward, and Together Forward.

focused, telling prospective students about the successes of our current students and alumni and how they are moving forward.

Indeed, in this issue of Forward Magazine, you’ll read about a group of alumni who have moved forward despite graduating in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Seton Hill Class of 2020 - who will celebrate their fifth reunion next spring - are proving themselves to be resilient and willing to pivot in the face of a global shutdown.

They are educators, scientists, artists, community leaders and health care professionals who are making a difference in their communities, and we could not be more proud.

You’ll also read about the ways our Seton Hill community gives forward by incorporating service into every aspect of a Seton Hill education both in the classroom and out.

In all that we do, the legacy of our founders, the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill, and the spirit of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, remains at the forefront.

Thank you for your continued support of Seton Hill University and our students. We are grateful for each of you as we Move Forward.

Hazard yet Forward, Mary C. Finger President

And as part of the same effort, a new Seton Hill website launched earlier this fall. The website is the single greatest platform by which prospective students and their families learn about Seton Hill.

The new website offers an enhanced user experience, particularly for mobile and tablet users with responsive “mobile-first” design. And the site is aimed at being story2

GRIFFINS RISE Class of 2020 Prevails in the Face of Uncertainty

Bre Bianco spent her childhood dreaming of becoming a teacher. A talented musician, Bianco enrolled at Seton Hill to pursue study in music education.

While still a student at Seton Hill in 2019, Bianco began working at the Greensburg YMCA as a teacher for the Before and After School Enrichment (BASE) program within the Hempfield Area and Greensburg Salem school districts.

“My first day at the Y confirmed that I was on the right path. I knew then that working with children was my true calling,” Bianco said.

Then came the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The summer of 2020 was particularly challenging.

It was my first time working at the YMCA’s summer camp, and I fell in love with it almost instantly,” Bianco said. “Unfortunately, just three weeks into the camp, we had to close due to COVID-19. It was a tough time for everyone, and it added a layer of uncertainty to my upcoming student teaching in the fall.”

Student teaching in the fall of 2020 was nothing like what Bianco had expected: Teaching the same lessons multiple times to different groups of students in a hybrid schedule and taking over when the middle school band teacher contracted COVID. “The experience taught me so much about adaptability, resilience, and the importance of being there for students, especially in challenging times,” Bianco said.

After graduating from Seton Hill, Bianco continued working with the Greensburg YMCA. After a promotion to School Age Child Care Director in October 2023, Bianco faced a daunting challenge: the BASE program and a school age summer camp were on the verge of closure due to declining enrollment and financial losses – a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bianco worked quickly to save the programs by increasing summer camp enrollment above the goal, securing a grant for field trips and helping turn a profit for the first time since 2020, ultimately saving the programs from being shuttered. Today, Bianco employs several Seton Hill students and alumni as child care workers at the YMCA. “Looking back, the pandemic forced me to adapt in ways I never anticipated, but it also provided me with the opportunity to grow and to make a meaningful impact on my community,” Bianco said. “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished at the Greensburg YMCA, and I’m excited to continue this journey, supporting and nurturing the next generation of students.”

For Bianco and other members of the Seton Hill University Class of 2020, the end of their college careers was not what they anticipated.

Completing classes online, graduating in the midst of a pandemic, and heading into a world in lockdown forced them to reach deep within themselves to exhibit a resiliency that has led them to experiences they never expected.

In spite of the hazards they faced, they moved forward.

And they have transformed themselves and the world around them.

THEATRE MAJORS ADAPT Many 2020 graduates found themselves completely changing their plans as a result of the pandemic.

graduate school. Having that double major from SHU really came in handy.”

During his gap year, Nickel found work as a logistics analyst for Lanxess Corporation near Pittsburgh. When he was ready, he enrolled at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, earning his MFA in Theatre Performance & Pedagogy.

He continues to use both of his degrees, maintaining a full-time job while performing in professional theater around the Pittsburgh region, including with companies like City Theater Company and Quantum Theater. He is also

For theatre majors Cameron Nickel and Gwen Little that meant adapting to new realities.

Nickel, who graduated with degrees in Theatre Performance and Business Administration, was supposed to attend graduate school in England to earn an MFA in International Acting, but decided that it would be better to remain in the U.S. during the crisis.

“It was a tough decision to make, but ultimately I had to keep my own health in mind and delay my graduate studies for at least a year,” he said. “In that gap, though, I began work utilizing my business degree that I also received from Seton Hill, and was able to prepare myself better financially for

an educator, teaching theater at various studios, theater companies and schools. This fall, he has been teaching acting classes to young people at the Center for Theater Arts in Mount Lebanon.

“Seton Hill definitely prepared me for the challenges that I faced after graduation. Pursuing a double major is no easy feat, and it helped me develop many of the skills I have relied on,” he said. “Even in both my business and creative work today, I find myself recalling experiences that help me get through the tough days.”

Little was supposed to move to Atlanta after graduation to take on a management position with Marriott, but COVID canceled that opportunity.

When that door closed, Little, who majored in musical theatre with a minor in hospitality and tourism, took on a management role in retail for a short time before landing with Hershey Entertainment and Resorts.

Now in her third full time role with the company, she currently serves as Manager of E-Commerce, focusing on all aspects of design, product assortment, and revenue for the online retail aspect of Hersheypark, the Hershey Bears AHL hockey team, The Hotel Hershey, Hershey Lodge and The Spa at the Hotel Hershey.

Little is grateful that Seton Hill allowed her the flexibility to pursue opportunities that would allow her to be well-rounded. That experience has opened her up to growth and development within Hershey Entertainment.

“I love being part of an organization that gives back and has a greater purpose,” she added. “Hershey Entertainment and Resorts was created to provide for the Milton Hershey School, which is a boarding school for underprivileged kids. I love volunteering with the kids

throughout the year and knowing that my work and any revenue generated is benefiting the next generation at the end of the day.”

TEACHING TO A SCREEN When the world shut down in March 2020, Mercedes Holets was in the midst of her student teaching experience at Central Elementary in the Elizabeth Forward School District.

At first, she wasn’t sure what that would mean for earning her teaching certificate. But when the district started teaching students online, Holets reached out to the administration and got the green light to finish her student teaching online as well.

Originally, Holets planned to focus solely on her graduate studies at Seton Hill during the 2020-21 school year, but then she received a call from Elizabeth Forward’s superintendent asking if she’d like to come in for an interview for an online seven-week substitute teaching position in fifth-grade reading.

“This was my very first experience teaching, but it was challenging because I could only see a bunch of black boxes on my screen, and perhaps, if I was lucky, a student’s face,” she said. “It was difficult knowing that other teachers were interacting with their students in person while I was alone in my virtual classroom.”

When that position ended, she was offered another long-term substitute opportunity teaching fourth graders online, and was later hired full-time. She was given a space in the back room of the nurse’s office from which she taught.

“The pandemic was a difficult time for teaching, and that year was arguably the hardest of my career,” she said.

Charles Stull

“I spent most of my days isolated, walking into school alone, teaching alone, and leaving alone. The only bright spot that year was Nurse Anne. She would stop by every day, sometimes multiple times, to ask how I was doing and encourage me, reminding me that I was doing a great job. Her visits, even if brief, were my saving grace and the reason I pushed through each day.”

During that first year of teaching, Holets was also attending graduate school and earned a Master of Education degree in Innovative Instruction and an Adaptive Online Teaching Certificate in 2021 from Seton Hill.

Still, there was trouble ahead. Holets was furloughed at the end of the 2020-21 school year, but a week before the 2021-22 school year began, she was offered a position teaching fifth-grade English Language Arts, this time in person.

FINDING UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES Even as an undergraduate student at Seton Hill, Charles Stull was pursuing opportunities in politics. Stull was elected as a Gilpin Township Supervisor in his home community in Armstrong County, Pa., at age 19 as a fulltime Seton Hill student – an experience which he has leveraged to earn a full-time position as Borough Manager in Ford City, Pa. Stull balanced a job in retail with his studies but was laid-off due to the pandemic, allowing him more time to dedicate to his position as Gilpin Township Supervisor.

And while she was furloughed again at the end of that year, Holets has since established herself with a full-time position teaching fifth-grade ELA in the district.

“With fewer distractions, I was able to focus on completing more projects for the township, which in turn deepened my knowledge and understanding of local government,” Stull said. “In hindsight, that time was incredibly beneficial for my career development. Once the lockdown ended, I had the opportunity to work in the Armstrong County Commissioners office, as well as the elections and assessment offices. This additional experience gave me a broader perspective on local government operations, which has been invaluable in my current roles.”

“The pandemic taught me resilience and how to quickly adapt in situations,” she said. “Teaching is an ever-growing and developing field, and I hope to continue to grow within that field to make a true difference within my students’ lives.”

“The challenges brought by the pandemic were tough, but they also created unique opportunities for me to grow in ways I hadn’t anticipated, furthering my passion for public service,” he added.

“It was stressful because I felt like a first-year teacher all over again, having to decorate my classroom, establish classroom management, and build relationships with my students,” she said.

Stull became Borough Manager of Ford City in December 2023 at a time when the community was seeking stability after a period of turnover in the position.

Stull, a political science graduate, had established 6

relationships with Ford City officials through his role in creating the Southern Armstrong Regional Police Department, of which Ford City is a member.

In his Borough Manager role, he oversees the community’s daily operations, manages the budget, ensures compliance with regulations, and collaborates with Borough Council and staff to address the community’s needs.

“It’s been immensely rewarding to see the positive outcomes we’ve achieved, whether it’s advancing critical projects, addressing significant infrastructure challenges, or enhancing the quality of services provided to the residents in less than a year,” he said.

FLEX TIME Fardan Allen gave up on a lifelong dream and pursued a new passion.

Allen, a member of Seton Hill’s football team who earned All-Conference honors, had poured everything into preparing for the 2020 NFL Draft. But the pandemic canceled nearly every opportunity to show NFL scouts he had what it took.

NEW PERSPECTIVE GAINED Sawyer Patrick said she took a leap of faith after graduating with a degree in biology by heading to Temple University School of Pharmacy.

Her leap paid off. Patrick graduated from the program earlier this year as the class valedictorian and began a postdoctoral position as a U.S. Medical Affairs Fellow with Alexion Pharmaceuticals in Boston. She will be rotating through various roles at Alexion, a company that focuses on developing treatments for rare diseases, throughout her two-year fellowship.

“The pandemic put everything into perspective. It made me consider where I really want to be in the future and what my goals are in life,” she said. “I really relied on my mentors from Seton Hill. They were excellent resources and helped guide me in the right direction post-graduation.

“SHU played a significant role in developing my future aspirations, work ethic, and determination to succeed,” Patrick added.

Fardan Allen 7

Allen knew he needed to pivot.

A dynamic student leader during his time on campus, Allen recognized he had developed a passion for student affairs, and he turned to the connections he had made at Seton Hill to guide him.

Fardan decided to continue his education, earning a master’s degree in Student Affairs in Higher Education from Slippery Rock University in 2022. He currently works as an academic advisor in the ACE program at Buffalo State University, where he previously served as assistant director of student leadership and engagement.

“The thrill of planning events that brought students together, the joy of mentoring underclassmen navigating their own journeys, and the responsibility of advocating for student voices in administrative discussions — all these moments crafted a narrative where leadership wasn’t just a role, but a powerful avenue for creating change at Seton Hill University,” he said.

“It was at Seton Hill that I truly cultivated my love for higher education. My experiences there instilled in me a dedication to supporting future generations of learners, inspiring me to pursue a career dedicated to fostering growth within academia.”

FINDING YOURSELF Rachel Sproat was pushed out of her comfort zone.

Sproat, a dietetics and nutrition graduate, was unsure what the marketplace would hold during the pandemic, so she decided to go to graduate school at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

But she didn’t have a hard time finding a job at all.

Shortly after starting graduate school, she was hired as a dietitian at UPMC Western Maryland and relocated two hours from home in a town where she knew nobody.

In her role, she educates the community through oneon-one medical nutrition therapy and group classes. She has led the development of new initiatives such as a class for patients experiencing heart failure as well as a pediatric program, Bite Sized Learning, which educates parents and children through activities, cooking demos and food tastings, and visits to local farms.

HELP FROM THE HILL

Student volunteers helped with landscaping at Wildlife Works Inc in Youngwood, Pa., during Labor of Love in September.

Seton Hill’s History of Service Continues with Today’s Students Shortly after campus starts buzzing again for a new academic year, hundreds of students – along with faculty and staff (and sometimes even alumni and families!) – gather together on a Saturday morning in Lowe Dining Hall before heading out into the community to help local organizations make a difference.

This year more than 270 Setonians registered for the day across 22 sites, which spanned from Irwin to Latrobe.

Labor of Love is one of two universal service days for Seton Hill and helps kick off the fall semester while the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service and Learning, held annually in February, helps begin the spring semester.

Even having a small group of students work with a non-profit organization for a morning can have a great impact.

“We are so very appreciative of the Labor of Love project that SHU does each year,” said Carol Hudock Palcic, executive director of the YWCA. “We rely on the student volunteers to help us with the many tasks that we are not able to. The impact is phenomenal!”

This year five students – along with David Hull, director of Seton Hill’s TRIO Program, and Re’Onna Durham, Griffin Success Program Specialist – went to the YWCA to help with yard work.

“They were able to accomplish so much yard work in a few short hours,” said Palcic. “This work never would have gotten done if it were not for this group.”

“Service has always been a part of life at Seton Hill” University-wide days of service might be the largest visible way Seton Hill provides assistance, but these two days offer just

a small window into the long-standing connections the University has with its surrounding community.

“Service has been central to the mission and identity of Seton Hill University since its founding,” said Casey Bowser, archivist for both the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill and Seton Hill University. “Seton Hill is distinctly service-oriented because of the Sisters of Charity.”

Seton Hill’s namesake, Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, was a charter member of the Society for the Relief of Poor Widows with Small Children, considered the first charitable organization managed by women in the United States. The Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill have continued this commitment to the poor, needy, and oppressed throughout western Pennsylvania, across the United States and around the world for more than 150 years. Their mission to serve the poor and disadvantaged will be the theme of this year’s Founders’ Day in March.

“Service has always been a part of life at Seton Hill. It is not a new thing. It touches the heart of the charism of our founders, the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill,” said Sr. Maureen O’Brien, Vice President for Mission and Identity.

“Having a pillar of service as part of our mission involves everyone: faculty, staff and students. Service at Seton Hill has always been directed to meet the needs of the time; students are responding to needs of the local community as an extension of the Sisters.”

During World War II, Seton Hill College opened up its fields along Route 130 as war gardens for members of the community to grow their own food during scarce times. Throughout the 1950s, Seton Hill students were heavily engaged in work with the American Red Cross.

Outreach to the community became a primary tenet of Campus Ministry when the department was formalized in the mid-1970s. That decade saw projects dedicated to the United Farm Workers and Project Appalachia, which emphasized education, advocacy, and direct work with poverty-stricken communities in West Virginia.

into her coursework. Her Corporate Ethics and Social Responsibility course is required for all business majors, and every student, whether in person or online, must complete a significant service-learning project.

Throughout the course, students study responsible business with specific attention to the practices of B Corps, or companies certified by a third party for ethical standards, and fair trade, which ensures that farmers and workers throughout the supply chain are being treated and paid fairly.

Operation Christmas Basket, one of Seton Hill’s longest running service projects, began in 1968 as part of Project Hunger, an effort to address the growing reports of the “They were able to hunger crisis in America and has since The in-person students partner evolved to provide funds to support accomplish so much yard with Ten Thousand Villages, a fair student service travel through trade nonprofit that offers ethically work in a few short hours.

Service-Learning in the Classroom

Professor of Marketing and Communication Jen Jones, Ph.D., is one of the professors focused on incorporating Seton Hill’s commitment to service

“I’m grateful that each business major gets to experience service and see its connection to business as a force for good, Catholic Social Teaching, and Seton Hill’s mission and history,” said Jones.

Students volunteered to help with landscaping at St. Emma’s Monastery during Labor of Love.

Assistant Professor of Communication Catie ClarkGordon, Ph.D., pairs students directly with local nonprofit organizations in her Social Media Strategy class to create strategies that help further their goals.

In the fall semester, the class worked with Central Westmoreland Habitat for Humanity and divided into two teams: one working on a strategy for increasing volunteers and donations for home building and renovations, and the other team working on increasing donations and volunteers with the Restore retail location that supports Habitat for Humanity’s mission.

strong focus on service- and community-engaged learning.

Since joining the faculty, her students have worked with six local nonprofit organizations.

“Service-learning, as I integrate it in my course design, has two main values that “I’m grateful that each I think are incredibly important for students,” Clark-Gordon said. “First, business major gets to it allows students to work with real experience service and clients, and provides them with work experience and examples see its connection to for their professional portfolios business as a force for and makes them more good, Catholic Social competitive on the internship and job markets. Second, it Teaching, and Seton creates an opportunity for Hill’s mission and experiential education that encourages students to be history.” Jen Jones, Ph.D. socially responsible and active Professor of Marketing and citizens working in and with Communication members of the community.”

Clark-Gordon began incorporating service learning into her coursework before joining the faculty at Seton Hill in August 2022.

Before her first semester, she scheduled a meeting with Amanda DeWitt, Director of Service Experience, to create a plan for how her social media class could continue and thrive on the Hill with a Business students serve a meal in downtown Pittsburgh twice a year in partnership with Maranatha Outreach and Seton Hill’s food service provider Aramark as part of Jen Jones’s Corporate Ethics and Social Responsibility course.

Clark-Gordon notes that students value opportunities to work on projects that both interest them and benefit the community. Her students also appreciate getting to know organizations within the Greensburg community and often choose to volunteer at their non-profit during the course of the semester.

Expanding Student Service-Learning In the spring of 2024, the University received a NetVUE (Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education) grant of $45,000 from the Council of Independent Colleges to develop a more robust academic service-learning program.

DeWitt will be spearheading the two-year academic development program, which kicked off in May with its first faculty immersion institute. The pillars of the project include summer faculty immersion institutes, discipline-specific professional development, book studies, and course development throughout all five schools of Seton Hill University.

The project continues this semester with the initial cohort of five faculty members – one from each of Seton Hill’s five schools – committed to service-learning professional development in order to design or redesign courses to incorporate service-learning as a tool for vocational discernment.

Members of the first-year cohort include: Dr. Shavonne Arthurs, Associate Professor of Criminal Justice, School of Education and Applied Social Sciences; Dr. Sarah Joiner, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, School of Natural and Health Sciences; Dr. Catie Clark-Gordon,

Assistant Professor of Communication, School of Business and Technology; Dr. Jennifer Beasley, Assistant Professor of Art Therapy, School of Visual and Performing Arts; and Dr. Roni Kay O’Dell, Associate Professor of Political Science, School of Humanities.

When DeWitt started as Seton Hill’s Director of Service Experience in the fall of 2021, one of the goals for the position was to expand academic service-learning. Focus on this work continued in the summer of 2023 with her attendance at a two-day faculty immersion institution focused on this work at DePaul University, and she will continue to expand Seton Hill’s focus on academic service-learning by working with the faculty cohorts through the NetVUE grant.

Seton Hill hosted a Community Partners Fair during the Fall 2024 semester to help students interested in service opportunities connect with local organizations. causes, to coat and food drives, to annual service projects, Setonians are always finding ways to lend a helping hand.

Opportunities On and Off Campus

It is hard to find a club or organization at Seton Hill that doesn’t have some aspect of service included in its activities. From events and sales that raise funds for specific

In the fall of 2023 and spring of 2024, Project H.O.P.E. hosted a sticker sale for pediatric cancer with the Student and Alum Art Therapy Association (SATA) where they raised $150 for pediatric cancer and hosted a baked goods and sticker sale with the Disney Club that earned $500 for Union Mission.

12

They also worked with Redstone Highlands to provide candy grams for seniors and again worked with SATA to host a paint and sip night at the facility, in addition to other collaborations and projects.

This work led to Project H.O.P.E. receiving the Outstanding Community Impact and Outstanding Student Organization awards at Seton Hill’s annual student Spotlight Awards in May 2024. This year’s executive board – president Nelli Palm, vice president Rachel Cameron, treasurer Julianna Gorsuch, secretary Payton Beattie, member at large Ben Sanner and social media manager Kira Claypoole – is carrying on the legacy of last year’s team, raising around $500 for clean water tanks in Pakistan alongside the Muslim Student Association in the fall 2024 semester.

Other examples of student clubs with a strong core of service include the Go Baby Go! Club – founded

by Seton Hill’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program – which provides adaptive ride-on cars for children with disabilities, and Stitch to Serve, whose members craft items to donate to those in need and have worked with the Sisters of Charity at Caritas Christi on various projects.

Service is also a key component of Seton Hill’s athletics programs. Many teams hold annual games that raise money for a cause, such as the baseball team’s VS Cancer event or the volleyball team’s Dig Pink Game.

The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has also helped provide several wishes to Make-A-Wish program recipients over the years.

Athletic teams also engage in on-the-ground service, from reading to elementary school students to helping clean up local parks to participating in community awareness walks. In the spring, the football team held its inaugural service week for the team’s captains where the student-athletes spent time serving at various community organizations, including the Knead Community Cafe in New Kensington, a pay-what-you-can restaurant.

Community Partners Value Opportunities to See Students Grow While many relationships with local non-profits are longstanding, new ones are constantly developing. On an October afternoon in Cecilian Hall, representatives from both longstanding collaborators and other newer associations could be found interacting with students, faculty and staff. As part of the NetVUE grant, Seton Hill invited local non-profits to set up tables in Cecilian Hall for community partner fairs in May and October to give the Seton Hill community the opportunity to connect with local organizations on campus.

Seton Hill volunteers can be found throughout the year at many locations throughout Westmoreland County and beyond.

One place where student volunteers can frequently be found is located between the University’s two downtown buildings. Every Thursday evening, Feeding the Spirit distributes a free meal, along with diapers, pet food, paper products and hygiene items to more than 200 people at Otterbein United Methodist Church.

Judy Knapp, vice president of Feeding the Spirit’s board of directors, enjoys getting to know the Seton Hill students who show up to help with the weekly distribution.

Msgr. Roger Statnick (left), Associate Athletic Director for Internal Relations Mark Katarski (second from left), Head Football Coach Dan Day (center), and football captains volunteered at Knead Cafe in New Kensington over the summer.

“New volunteers appear at the door often with a bit of shyness at first. We welcome them in, explain the program and give them a task… and then another!” she said. “They bring a willingness to help, a kindness in their interactions and lots of positive energy.”

While some students may come for a single week or just a few sessions, others continue to volunteer over months or years.

“The students tell us about their backgrounds, their academic pursuits, their families, their future plans,” Knapp said. “They become an integral part of Feeding the Spirit’s team and we are ever and always grateful for all that they bring.”

Seton Hill has also established a meaningful partnership with the Westmoreland Food Bank. Students contribute countless hours at the Food Bank’s primary location and various pantries throughout Westmoreland County, helping alleviate food insecurity in the region and fostering a spirit of service and community involvement.

Faculty members also play an instrumental role in encouraging and facilitating student volunteer activities, particularly during the holiday season when food needs are at their peak.

FOUND IN TRANSLATION Undergraduate Student Interpreters Bridge Gap between Students and Patients on Service Learning Trip to Peru

When the students and faculty from the Doctor of Physical Therapy program embarked on a service learning trip to Peru from June 21 to July 2, they weren’t the only Setonians on the trip. One alumna and three undergraduate students came along to Peru to aid with translation and interpretation as they volunteered at clinics throughout the countryside.

During the week, the DPT students, faculty and community partners conducted physical therapy evaluations and treatments throughout the city of Chimbote, working with clients in a variety of settings including schools, hospital-based clinics, and homes. The student interpreters were integral in the patient and provider communication process for the physical therapy evaluations and treatments. Outside of the clinical settings, the student interpreters also assisted as the group navigated visits to other sites around the country and explored local culture.

On the clinical days, the Seton Hill group came together over breakfast to discuss the day’s goals and review basic medical Spanish terminology before heading out to their individual work sites.

Junior Samantha Ferrick worked for five days alongside two student physical therapists, Morgan Conty and Kate Krueger, and physical therapist Mark Drnach at an elementary school, Colegio Fe y Alegría, helping students with their mobility, coordination, and motor skills each morning and in the pediatric physical therapy unit at a local hospital, La Maternidad de María, in the afternoons. The hospital is supported

by The Chimbote Foundation, a mission of the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

Doctor of Physical Therapy students, faculty, friends, and Spanish student interpreters at the Casa de Iglesia in Chimbote, Peru, the seminary for the Diocese of Chimbote, which served as their lodging during their service trip.

In the hospital setting, many times the mother or caregiver was the one who Samantha communicated with throughout the appointment.

“Numerous mothers expressed gratitude for what seemed like a simple treatment, a massage or stretching. It was amazing to witness what seemed like such simple solutions in the United States, ice or heat therapy and stretching, seemed like a blessing to them,” Samantha said.

“Mark reminded me to tell the mothers or women who came in with the patient that they were doing a good job with the child. Every time I told a mother that they were doing a good job with the child, they smiled, gave me a hug, and expressed their gratitude for being recognized.”

As a physician assistant student pursuing a medical Spanish minor, Samantha realizes the value of the work of both physical therapists and interpreters in the medical field.

“Working as an interpreter is very different from just speaking the language. I had to listen empathetically and demonstrate compassion to patients and families who came to seek help and couldn’t always just translate what was said word for word,” she said. “Communication is such an important part of healthcare, and after serving as an interpreter, I am grateful to have been able to bridge communication gaps to ensure that patients receive the care and understanding they deserve.”

Samantha also took notes on how the volunteers treated their patients.

“While interpreting, I was able to observe how much care and kindness the physical therapists and student physical therapists had while working with the children.

As a future provider, I hope to mimic the patience and empathy the physical therapists and students demonstrated while helping the patients.”

For Olivia Carrera ’24, the trip was also a valuable learning experience for her future educational and career opportunities. Olivia graduated in May with a biology major and medical Spanish and math minors; she will be starting in Seton Hill’s Physician Assistant program in January 2025.

“Experiencing other cultures is so important to understanding patients from different backgrounds and how they perceive medical care. Every patient, caretaker and staff member was extremely grateful and would watch, learn and ask questions so they could repeat the exercises and stretches,” Olivia said. “At the end of the trip, I was filled with joy seeing how happy the DPT students were with the work they had done.”

language barrier in healthcare. The physician assistant major and medical Spanish minor was part of the group that made house visits to treat those too ill to make the trip to the clinic.

“Communication is such an important part of healthcare, and after serving as an interpreter, I am grateful to have been able to bridge communication gaps to ensure that patients receive the care and understanding they deserve.”

Samantha Ferrick, Student Interpreter “While it is devastating to see people in unfortunate situations, it is fulfilling to know that physical therapy was brought to a population that otherwise wouldn’t be able to receive it,” Sydney said.

Senior Spanish major and modern languages minor Meaghan Mescan was the fourth student on the trip and plans to work in the field of translation and interpretation after graduation.

“Working with patients from underserved backgrounds and in areas with limited access to physical therapy services emphasizes social responsibility for our future clinicians and is reflective of our DPT program mission and our American Physical Therapy Association core values,” said Dr. Jamie Dunlap Coates, PT, DPT Director of Clinical Education. “Working with other disciplines such as interpreters, patients whose primary language isn’t English, and experiencing healthcare outside of the United States helps prepare our students to think and act critically, creatively and ethically, as highly competent clinicians committed to transforming the world.”

“This trip was especially helpful because of my future with Spanish-speaking patients. A lot of the physical therapy vocabulary will be useful in any specialty I choose as a PA,” she added. “Many areas throughout the US have an abundance of Hispanic patients, and the population in Greensburg is increasing. My goal is to be able to communicate with my future Spanish-speaking patients in their language; if they are not comfortable or confident speaking in English. Everyone wants to feel connected to and understand their provider, and translators could obstruct that connection.”

During her senior year of high school in New Jersey, sophomore Sydney Osofsky interpreted Spanish in a clinic that served a heavily Latinx area, improving her Spanish and giving her more comfort communicating in the language. She was happy to continue this work at Seton Hill and support her career goal of minimizing the

P o stc ard s F ro m S t u dy A way Setonians See New Perspectives

This May, Setonians once again spread out across the globe to pursue international education experiences.

Traveling overseas with their classmates and professors allows Seton Hill students to connect with other cultures beyond the classroom.

“Providing the opportunity for our students to study away is more than just giving them the chance to get a stamp in their passports or credit for a class,” said Jessica Lohr, Assistant Director of Study Away. “It is a time for them to learn about diverse cultures and people, practice patience and kindness towards those that are different from themselves, gain confidence in their ability to navigate new places, speak new languages or try new customs/traditions, learn about histories, and maybe, change the world!”

“The Seton Hill Study Away program is a great way to experience a new culture while earning credits towards your degree. I especially like that I got to travel with one of my education professors and fellow classmates. The historical aspect is what drew me in as Greece is so historically and culturally rich. I will never forget swimming in the Mediterranean for the first time and how refreshing it was.”

“Once I learned about this study away experience in Ireland with the dance program, I was extremely excited as I have always loved the idea of traveling.

I am also a dance education major so I thought it would be a great opportunity to gain more experiences. There were so many beautiful opportunities in Ireland, whether it was taking classes, watching performances, or taking tours, and each one of them was an amazing experience.

Now that I have had this opportunity to study away, I will continue to explore and to not be afraid to take on new opportunities when they arise.”

“Studying abroad was a chance to step out of my comfort zone and immerse myself in a new culture.

It allowed me to gain different global perspectives and grow both academically and personally. The experience taught me not only about the world but also about myself! The new relationships I built with my classmates and professors have been truly meaningful. The trip deepened my experience abroad and sparked a desire to explore even more of the world.”

“What prompted me to go on the trip was the chance to learn about the culture and the language of somewhere new by immersing myself in the culture. What will stay with me for the rest of my life from this experience are the people I met and friends I made on the trip. I connected not just with my classmates from Seton Hill but also with the people I met in Ecuador. I got to know my professor, and I’ve stayed connected with my homestay mom on Instagram and WhatsApp so I get to see what she is up to. I will never forget her kindness!”

College in High School Program Continues Nationwide Expansion With the recent growth of Seton Hill’s College in High School program, many high school students across the country are getting the chance to experience the academic rigor of a Seton Hill education – and earn college credit – before they ever step foot on campus.

More than 2800 students took classes through their high schools as part of the program in the 20232024 academic year across 46 public schools, 18 Catholic schools, and the program’s first charter school partnership. The number of Catholic high schools doubled from the 2022-2023 year as many Catholic schools would like to partner with an institution of Catholic higher education when possible.

The College in High School program allows educators at the high school level to teach courses that would count for introductory level classes at Seton Hill – or transfer those classes to another institution. High school juniors and seniors from participating school districts can register through their high school and earn college credit from Seton Hill University after successfully completing the course.

English teacher and administrator. “I realized they needed to be earning credit for the relevant work they were completing in high school.”

The program’s growth has seen a significant uptick under Rother, a former high school principal in Arizona, who has a longstanding connection to Seton Hill Provost Sister Susan Yochum, SC. Sister Susan invited Rother to streamline Seton Hill’s College in High School program six years ago because of her experience with curriculum and understanding of the challenges high school educators and administrators face. Since then, Rother minimized barriers to access for schools while still maintaining the high rigor expected of courses affiliated with Seton Hill.

The initiative capitalizes on Seton Hill’s strength as an institution that educates educators. Many of the teachers, principals, and superintendents who

Since Seton Hill offers more than 20 degree programs that can be completed in three years, the increased College in High School course options are providing students with the opportunity to get a head start on their college degree. The program also helps students make a smooth and successful transition to college by giving them a preview of collegelevel academic work.

For Kathy Rother, Associate Dean for Graduate, Adult & Nontraditional Programs at Seton Hill, the College in High School program offers a solution to a problem she saw frequently as a high school educator.

have implemented the program at their schools are alumni or have connections with alumni. With each successful implementation, word spreads. As teachers and administrators move between districts, they tend to bring the program along with them.

Recent additions to the program have come from connections both near and far. Monessen High School joined the program after a conversation Rother had with a Seton Hill student who served as a mentor in her First-Year Seminar class.

“She told me she wished she had the opportunity to take any college dual credit courses at Monessen but those programs weren’t offered,” Rother recalled. “Students from under-resourced school districts, like Monessen, benefit in a profound way from College in High School, and we’re working to provide them access to the program.”

While many of the high schools participating in the program are in Pennsylvania, students in Maryland, Arizona, and California are earning Seton Hill credits as well.

Last year the program added eight high schools from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, with four additional schools joining this year through the Archdiocese’s Early College Network (ECN). A former colleague of Rother’s in Arizona works for the Archdiocese and approached her

about their interest in partnering with a Catholic college or university.

The grant-funded ECN is designed to enhance high school transcripts, build the confidence of high school students to take college-level courses, and reduce their overall college costs, according to an article in Angelus News. Students in the ECN, which targets low-income, historically ethnically underrepresented, and firstgeneration prospective college students, can earn credit in math, science, English, social studies, Spanish, and other general electives.

For Rother, the expansion of College in High School deeply aligns with the Mission of Seton Hill University and reflects the work of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill in creating educational opportunities for all.

“It’s what Elizabeth Ann Seton would have done,” she added.

Educators interested in partnering with Seton Hill to offer College in High School courses can learn more about the program at www.setonhill.edu/chs. Associate Dean Kathy Rother guides schools on courses within their curriculum that would be appropriate for the program and works with educators to create a Seton Hill syllabus for those courses. Email her at collegeinhighschool@setonhill.edu.

In Memoriam: Sister Brigid Marie Grandey, SC ’63 Served Students from Greensburg to Los Angeles Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill Create Grandey Scholarship Program Sister Brigid Marie Grandey, SC, a teacher and school administrator and former Seton Hill Trustee, died on July 25, 2024. She was 89.

Sister Brigid Marie entered the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill in 1952. She earned a bachelor’s degree in English and history from Seton Hill and later earned three master’s degrees: in English from the University of Arizona, in theology from Saint John’s University, Collegeville, and in education from Duquesne University.

Sister Brigid Marie was a teacher and administrator in schools in the Dioceses of Greensburg, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, and Tucson, as well as the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

She taught at Seton Hill University and served as a member of the Board of Trustees. She also served as a Provincial Councilor for the Sisters of Charity.

The Grandey name will continue at Seton Hill thanks to a scholarship the Sisters of Charity created through a bequest from the estate of Sister Brigid Marie’s sister-in-law, Dorothy.

The Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill Grandey Program Endowed Scholarship Fund will provide scholarships to assist poor and disadvantaged persons from under-resourced backgrounds who plan to pursue programs of study in the health sciences.

“The Grandey Program recognizes the significant contributions to education by Sister Brigid Marie Grandey along with her brother, Richard, and sister-in-law, Dorothy, who were also lifelong educators. They deeply cared about students and wanted to see them succeed,” said Sister Mary Norbert Long, Provincial Superior of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill. “By assisting students in the health sciences, the Grandey Program acknowledges the needs within our community to build a strong workforce of doctors, nurses, physician assistants and physical therapists, all of whom are greatly needed.”

Ukrainian Art Therapist Stops at Seton Hill as Part of U.S. Goodwill Tour Local Ukrainian Families Also Welcomed to Event As Tetiana Myalkovska, an art therapist from Ukraine, led participants through her master class in the Seton Hill Arts Center, she generated powerful responses from both the Seton Hill graduate art therapy students and the local Ukrainian families in attendance.

The students and families sat together around a large rectangle of tables with oil pastels and rolls of paper that covered the tables, reflecting on their hopes for the future, their fears from the past and the connection of their experiences with the others in the room.

Even though Tetiana’s words had to be translated into English for the Seton Hill students, her energy was felt by all and her words resonated over the background music and the visible art throughout the classroom. The exercise ended with the room filling with conversation as the participants discussed their experience in pairs before each person separated their art from the larger sheets of paper to take home what they created and reflect on their experience.

Seton Hill was among the stops on Tetiana’s U.S. goodwill tour throughout the month of October. Earlier in the afternoon Art therapy studentstake part in a master class at the Seton she was welcomed with a reception, gave a presentation on the Hill Arts Center. work her organization is doing in Ukraine and engaged with the students, faculty and Ukrainian guests who had the opportunity to buy artwork created in the country and help support her work.

The tour was sponsored by the Ukrainian Cultural and Humanitarian Institute (UCHI) and its founder and president, Stephen Haluszczak, served as Tetiana’s translator during the Seton Hill event.

Tetiana is the founder and director of the Ukrainian non-profit citizens’ organization Pyaternya, which runs the Warm Hands art therapy and skills development. UCHI has funded 16 sessions of Warm Hands helping over 800 children in Ukraine who have lost parents, social networks, support, and security during the war.

She spoke of the great successes in early intervention trauma therapy that she has been applying in Ukraine to help orphaned and displaced children, widows, and soldiers whose lives have been torn apart by the war. Tetiana herself lost her only son to the war in December 2023.

“These soldiers return from the war as different people. They are not the same,” she said through her translator. “Through art therapy, we bring them back to a place of childhood memories so they start fresh and build a new life.”

Some of the art forms they work with are traditional Ukrainian arts and crafts, with the goal being that these art forms continue beyond the war and not be lost in the conflict.

“These are so important to the soul and the culture of Ukraine,” Tetiana said.

During her visit to Seton Hill, Tetiana was particularly delighted to hear guests speaking Ukrainian. Refugees who relocated to the area through Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Greensburg were invited to attend the reception, presentation, and art making alongside Seton Hill students.

The students found both the presentation and sharing art across languages deeply meaningful.

“Learning about the Warm Hands program and the art therapy work that Tetiana and her team are doing for communities in Ukraine was powerful. In addition, through the art making master class demo that Tetiana facilitated, students and local community members experienced the impact of creating art together,” said Emma Jakiela, a first-year art therapy graduate student.

“Through art therapy, we bring them back to a place of childhood memories so they start fresh and build a new life.”

Tetiana Myalkovska

“Despite language barriers between us, I was reminded that art making can spark change, passion, and kindness in our communities.”

Art Therapy Graduates See Continued Success, Demand Over Dana Elmendorf’s career as an art therapist, she has seen how changes in the access to and availability of mental health services has had a positive impact on the way people are able to engage with therapy. As the program director of Graduate Art Therapy with Counseling, Elmendorf, MA, ATR-BC, LPC, is working to educate the next generation of professionals.

“Art therapy is gaining in popularity not only because of the growing body of research that demonstrates its effectiveness, but also because of its role in integrating talk therapy with non-verbal communication tools,” Elmendorf said. “As a wider range of people seek mental health services, needs that were not being fully addressed by primarily verbal talk therapy are able to be incorporated into a plan of mental, emotional and social wellness that uses active art-making, sensory materials, expressive processes and applied psychological theory.”

Seton Hill students are dual-trained in both art-based and verbal approaches and employers have seen the value of this type of education, with program graduates having an excellent job placement rate. There has also been an increase in internship sites that go on to hire graduates as well, as they get to experience the student’s work firsthand while having them as an intern for 700 hours over nine months.

There has been significant investment at the state level to provide funding for mental health counselors in schools, and art therapists have become part of the teams that are providing local school-based mental health services.

Seton Hill also has an undergraduate pre-art therapy major for students looking for employment in human service or community arts settings or who plan to attend graduate school.

“I would like to applaud the many Seton Hill art therapy graduates who are spreading the word, doing the work, and even opening new programs in the area,” Elmendorf said. “They are truly part of transforming the world and we could not be more proud of them.”

The value of service is something that was instilled in me during my time at Seton Hill. Some of my fondest memories from Seton Hill are the community service activities I participated in during college from Adopt-a-Highway clean-ups with the Chemistry Club, to teaching middle schoolers, to being an orientation assistant. I learned much about what service looks like, how beneficial it is to me and to others and that it can be fun! I consider it a privilege and honor it is to give back, especially to an institution that has given so much to me. Service and giving to others is a core tenet of my Christian faith and what we are called to do to make this world a better place - to help see God’s Kingdom come here on earth as it is in Heaven.

After earning her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Mathematics, Christin went on to The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine where she earned her doctorate of Cellular and Molecular Medicine.

Celebrating Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Greensburg Bishop Larry J. Kulick Celebrates Milestone Event with Campus Community

This year marked the 250th anniversary of the birth of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American-born Saint, the founder of the Sisters of Charity and the namesake of Seton Hill University. Mother Seton, who gave up a life of wealth and privilege and converted to Catholicism as an adult, is known as the foundress of Catholic education in the United States.

Events included a birthday celebration lunch in Lowe Dining Hall and Mass in St. Joseph Chapel celebrated by Diocese of Greensburg Bishop Larry J. Kulick.

Bishop Kulick also offered an evening presentation in the Performing Arts Center titled “Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton: A Eucharistic Missionary for Our Times.”

Bishop Kulick shared that the Catholic Church in America is engaged in a three-year Eucharistic revival that included a cross-country pilgrimage from four corners of the United States, all converging at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis in 2024.

The eastern route of the pilgrimage was named for Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and crossed through the Diocese of Greensburg.

“We carried our Lord through some of the most impoverished streets of our Diocese,” Bishop Kulick said. “Everyone who encountered Christ in those events were transformed.”

Bishop Kulick said the entire experience reminded him of what the Apostles must have experienced in the early days of the Church. And it made him think of those, like Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, who have heard a call from God.

“Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton is no exception to the call narrative,” he said. “A wife, a mother, a socialite, she encountered the Lord in the Eucharist and that divine confrontation changed her entire life. Suddenly she was called to repent, to leave the life she knew, and become a Catholic, a teacher, a foundress. Her yes to that call changed the entire landscape of Catholic education and the history of the Catholic church, not only here in the United States but beyond, bringing Christ to generations of young people all over the entire world.”

Bishop Kulick shared how Elizabeth’s life - though she was born to privilege - was rife with struggle. Her mother died when Elizabeth was three. Her father, a physician, was often absent, and her stepmother was focused on her own children rather than Elizabeth. The experiences led her to depression.

“Elizabeth turned to her faith for peace and comfort in the face of her difficult upbringing,” he said. “The question I ask each of us tonight, where do we turn in our moments of chaos and struggle?”

And when she became a widow at age 29, Elizabeth, an Episcopalian, turned to the Catholic faith.

“She started studying the theology of the Eucharist and wrote to her sister in New York about it,“ Bishop Kulick said, quoting Mother Seton’s letter, “‘How happy we would be if we believed what these dear souls believe, that they possess God in the Sacrament and that he remains in their churches and is carried to them when they are sick.’”

“Elizabeth’s experience with the Eucharist resulted in a deep repentance and a transformation of her entire life,” he added.

2025 will mark another milestone in the life of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.

In September 2025, Seton Hill and Setonian institutions around the world will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Saint Elizabeth’s canonization as the first American-born Saint. More information will be forthcoming about the ways Seton Hill will mark this special occassion.

Last Supper Exhibit Comes to Campus Seton Hill hosted “KNOW HIM: The Last Supper and the Gift of the Eucharist,” an exhibit loaned to the University by the Diocese of Greensburg, as part of the celebration of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton’s birthday. The campus community had an opportunity to view a 16foot mural recreation of “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci, along with smaller displays of six other versions of the famous scene from around the world as part of the exhibit. A video presentation by Vatican Art Historian Liz Lev about the way the paintings relate to the Biblical telling of the Last Supper was also featured.

The event opened on August 28 with a presentation by Vincent Reilly, Managing Director for Faith, Family and Discipleship with the Diocese of Greensburg, and an invitation to gather for fellowship and share in a sampling of breads and was open to the campus community through September 17.

Students, faculty, staff and other guests enjoy a selection of breads in the Parlors after viewing the exhibit.

A 16-foot mural recreation of “The Last Supper” by Leonardo da Vinci was the key feature of the exhibit.

Sister Gemma Del Duca , SC, Honored as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania Co-founder of National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education Recognized for Decades of Dedication Even as Sister Gemma Del Duca, SC, was being honored at a luncheon at the Governor’s residence in Harrisburg as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania, her thoughts turned to others she feels are just as deserving of recognition.

“This designation as ‘Distinguished Daughter’ fills my heart and mind with images of women who are and who were in my life special, non-native daughters of Pennsylvania, but women unrecognized, without special honors, yet so deserving,” Sister Gemma said during her acceptance remarks. “Immigrant women for whom PA became their adopted and beloved home, like my grandmothers who made their way across a continent and ocean, struggled with health issues, housing, language.”

She continued, “And later on, as an adult educator I came to know the brave, wonderful women who had survived the Holocaust. Some became dear friends who shared their experiences and memories with me, and who were willing to speak on many occasions, especially at Kristallnacht, with our Seton Hill University students.

What truly distinguished daughters of Pennsylvania!”

“Finally, one last daughter, who truly deserves to be named — the oldest victim of the massacre at the Tree of Life or L’Simcha Synagogue — 97-year-old Rose Mallinger. And so a Psalm in gratitude for them and for all of us: ‘Thanks be to God for He is good; for His mercy endures forever.’”

Sister Gemma Del Duca offers her acceptance remarks at the Distinguished Daughters of Pennsylvania luncheon.

And while Sister Gemma, the co-founder of the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education at Seton Hill, does not seek out the limelight, the honor as a member of the 2024 class of Distinguished Daughters of Pennsylvania was well-deserved, said Seton Hill President Mary C. Finger, who nominated Sister Gemma for the recognition.

“Through her international work in Holocaust education and Christian-Jewish dialogue, Sister Gemma Del Duca has brought great pride to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, her hometown of Greensburg, and the Seton Hill University community,” said President Finger. “Her steadfast resolve that we must never forget the horrors of the Holocaust and her work to bridge differences to create a more peaceful world makes her more than deserving of being a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania. All of us at Seton Hill University are incredibly proud that Sister Gemma has attained this honor.”

Sister Gemma was among 11 women honored by Governor Josh Shapiro and First Lady Lori Shapiro as one of the 2024 Distinguished Daughters of Pennsylvania.

Distinguished Daughters of Pennsylvania was organized in 1949 to honor women who had given distinguished service through their careers to their communities, the commonwealth and the nation. In the 76 years since then, a total of 566 extraordinary women of Pennsylvania have been recognized for their professional and volunteer accomplishments.

Del Duca, 92, grew up in Greensburg in a Catholic family. After graduating from Greensburg High School in 1950, she entered the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill and would make her perpetual vows in 1956. Sister Gemma was then sent to Rome to study Theology at Regina Mundi, an international school for the theological training of religious women. She returned to Pennsylvania in 1959, teaching at schools in the Pittsburgh region and completing her degree in History and Philosophy at Seton Hill in 1962.

Sister Gemma then received a fellowship to pursue graduate work at the University of New Mexico in the field of IberoAmerican Studies, where she received her doctorate in 1966.

Not long after earning her doctorate, Sister Gemma began teaching at Seton Hill. Committed to diversity efforts, she helped to found SOUL, an organization that encouraged leadership among African-American students.

In 1972, Sister Gemma began service as Campus Minister at the University of Virginia and Old Dominion University. Her life – and her ministry – took an abrupt turn in 1975 when she went to Israel to study Hebrew and the Jewish roots of Christianity. In 1977, Sister Gemma joined with Father Isaac Jacob of Saint Vincent Archabbey to establish a center for Jewish-Catholic understanding in Israel leading to the foundation of Tel Gamaliel in Bet Shemesh.

On a return trip to Greensburg in 1987, Sister Gemma began contemplating how she could take the work she was doing in Israel and collaborate in some way with Seton Hill. She and a fellow Sister of Charity, Sister Mary Noel Kernan, approached then-Seton Hill President JoAnne Boyle with the idea for the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education (NCCHE) at Seton Hill – one of the first such Centers in the country. The mission of the NCCHE is to promote the teaching of the Holocaust at all levels of Catholic education and to enhance Catholic-Jewish relations.

For more than three decades, Sister Gemma resided in Israel and collaborated with Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem, on programming for the NCCHE. She was the Center’s “face” in Israel and, through her efforts, countless teachers traveled every summer to Yad Vashem for an intense workshop on the teaching of the Holocaust. During her tenure, the Center established the triennial Ethel LeFrak Holocaust Education Conference, which brings luminaries in the field to Seton Hill’s campus.

“As an adult educator I came to know the brave, wonderful women who had survived the Holocaust. Some became dear friends who shared their experiences and memories with me, and who were willing to speak on many occasions, especially at Kristallnacht, with our Seton Hill University students. What truly distinguished daughters of Pennsylvania!”

Sister Gemma has been lauded by numerous organizations for her work in the field of Holocaust education – both Catholic and Jewish - and was the first non-Israeli to receive the Excellence in Holocaust Education Award from Yad Vashem. Sister Gemma continues to speak out against antisemitism and to foster a culture of collaboration and dialogue. She continues her work with the NCCHE today as Director Emerita – even after officially retiring in 2015.

Ethel LeFrak Holocaust Education Conference Focuses On Storytelling While facts and figures are important for educators to convey when teaching students about events like the Holocaust and other genocides, the stories of those who experienced such atrocities help them find a deeper connection and understanding of events that are often hard to fathom.

Seton Hill’s National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education used the theme of storytelling to educate the educators during the triennial Ethel LeFrak Holocaust Education Conference held online and in person in November.

The conference, titled “Telling the Stories: Narrative in Holocaust and Genocide Education,” brought in experts from around the country to discuss the ways storytelling can be used in 6th to 12th grade classrooms.

the stories we share can lead to pathways and connections to educate each other to be a part of this important work.

So let’s lean into the stories.”

Indeed, many of the conference presenters previously participated in a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Institute held at Seton Hill in 2022 that focused on best practices for educators in genocide education using the power of narrative.

Sessions included a look at America and its response to the Holocaust taught through the use of a graphic novel and teaching the Holocaust through literature.

Conference participants heard from Daniel Stern, the son of Holocaust survivors, who told his parents’ story through The Eva Fleischner Oral History Project. Sterns’ parents traveled the world to escape Nazism before settling in the United States.

They also heard about genocides beyond the Holocaust - including the Yazidi genocide and the narratives of Indigineous peoples impacted by genocide - and how they can incorporate teaching about these events into their curriculum.

The LeFrak Conference also included this year’s interfaith remembrance service of Kristallnacht - or the “night of broken glass” - and featured an address by Dr. Lauren Bairnsfather, CEO of the Anne Frank Center USA, on “Kristallnacht Through the Lens of the Jewish Diaspora.”

Alexandra Zapruder signs a copy of her book after the lecture.

“I believe deeply in narrative. I believe so deeply that stories are the way that we make sense of the world.

It’s how we understand what has happened to us in the past and how we construct a vision for the future.”

Alexandra Zapruder In a video message to welcome conference participants, Francine LeFrak, philanthropist and daughter of the late Ethel LeFrak, said, “In today’s world where we face a tremendous rise of antisemitism and other forms of hatred, 33

The Ethel LeFrak Holocaust Education Conference is made possible by the late Ethel LeFrak. In 2008, LeFrak, a noted New York philanthropist, made a generous donation to Seton Hill University’s National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education to endow The Ethel LeFrak Holocaust Education Conference and create The Ethel LeFrak Student Scholars of the Holocaust Fund.

Keynote speaker Alexandra Zapruder, author of “Salvaged Pages: Young Diarists, the Holocaust, and the Historical Record,” discussed the importance of exploring the experiences young people captured in their journals as they experienced the Holocaust.

“I believe deeply in narrative. ... I believe so deeply that stories are the way that we make sense of the world. It’s how we understand what has happened to us in the past and how we construct a vision for the future.”

Lauren Bairnsfather, Chief Executive Officer of the Anne Frank Center USA, offers remarks during the annual Kristallnacht Interfaith Remembrance Service held during the LeFrak Conference.

Zapruder, who began her career as a member of the founding staff of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., began researching these diaries while serving on the curatorial team for the museum’s exhibition for young visitors, Remember The Children, Daniel’s Story.

Zapruder found diaries spanning nearly every country in Europe and reflecting diverse experiences, including fleeing, hiding, and living under Nazi occupation. In the diaries, young people documented their daily lives and left an astonishing record of coming of age in extremes.

During her presentation, she shared a framework for thinking about the historical and literary contributions of these diaries, and for understanding the unique perspective of adolescence.

“These writers wrote themselves into existence at a time and in a place where everything was conspiring to erase them,” she said. “That is perhaps the most important thing to remember - that writing can be a way to construct one’s place in the world.”

Annual Eva Fleischner Lecture Features Dr. Philip Cunningham Dr. Philip Cunningham, Professor of Theology and director of the Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations of Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, was the featured speaker at the annual Eva Fleischner Endowed Lecture held on October 15 at Seton Hill. Dr. Cunningham, an expert who specializes in ideologies of the Christian and Jewish faiths, presented on the topic, “The State of Catholic-Jewish Relations Today.”

During his presentation, Dr. Cunningham explored the dynamics of the Jewish and Catholic relationship that has evolved since the Holocaust. Rooted in centuries of suspicion and hostility, Catholics and Jews in recent decades have been companions on what Pope Francis has called “a journey of friendship” to an enriching new relationship. He looked at ways the friendship is being tested by current events in the Middle East as well as antisemitic acts here in the United States and suggested ways to deepen the relationship.

The lecture is sponsored by the Seton Hill University National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education (NCCHE) through its Eva Fleischner, Ph.D., Endowed Lecture Fund. The lecture is named for the late Eva Flesichner, a well-regarded scholar of women in the Holocaust and Jewish-Christian relations, as well as a close associate of the Seton Hill University National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education. The Fleischner family, including her late brother, Hans Fleischner, and his wife, Leslie Fleischner, established the lecture series at Seton Hill to carry on her legacy of scholarship and interreligious dialogue.

Farrell Lecture Features Conversation with Alumna Sylvia Hill Fields

“How you attract a mentor is by doing the best job you can with even the smallest assignments, don’t disappoint and be willing to accept constructive criticism.”

Sylvia Hill Fields

President of the Eden Hall Foundation Answers Student-Submitted Questions Sylvia Hill Fields distinctly remembers what her mother told her in the car as they drove up the hill while she moved in to start her studies at Seton Hill.

Fields had known the campus well ­­— playing in the fields and swinging on the campus swings with Sisters of Charity as a young girl — but coming to Seton Hill as a first-generation student was different.

“She says, ‘You know, they’re all in here with us.’

And I just got very quiet. And she said, ‘They’re all here. Some of them couldn’t even read or write. Some of them barely could make an X, but they’re here.

They’re in this car. Your grandparents are here. Your dad is here in this car. They’re all here. Don’t let them down. Their lives were sacrificed for this moment, to make the way for the first one. If you fail, the ones behind you will fail.’”

She continued, “My mother was just that way, a very serious person, and I think about her to this day and that conversation stays with me - the seriousness of that moment. I had never in my life thought about

Fields, the President of the Eden Hall Foundation in Pittsburgh, shared that story and others during the Farrell Lecture at Seton Hill in October. Held in a conversation-style format, the lecture was comoderated by Seton Hill senior Sarah Minghini, a communication and political science major, and Jennifer Reeger, Director of Communications and Media Relations, who asked Fields questions submitted by Seton Hill students.

Fields said her experience at Seton Hill was not unlike what many students experienced as first generation students with faculty and staff willing to help guide and nurture them.

Sylvia Hill Fields gathered with alumni at the Farrell Lecture.

“I think that’s what we specialize in here - that first generation and knowing what those gaps might be that would cause them to not be successful,” she said.

Fields said her experience at Seton Hill helped guide her path in several ways, one of which was to witness a female leader in action.

She recalled participating in a sit-in outside then President Eileen Farrell’s office, protesting for open dorms. Though Farrell did not give in to the protest, Fields said the experience of seeing a highlevel female executive in 1976 inspired her.

Fields began her grant-making career at Duquesne Light but said it was at Eden Hall, which

She urged students to be collaborative, find allies and seek out a mentor to find success in their careers.

Fields said her mentor is George Greer, a former Senior Vice President for Heinz International who was chair of Eden Hall’s board for decades. Mentors, she said, can come from anywhere.

“How you attract (a mentor) is by doing the best job you can with even the smallest assignments, don’t disappoint and be willing to accept constructive criticism,” she said.

Senior Sarah Minghini Selected for Global PR Summit Fresh off her experience co-moderating the Farrell Lecture, senior Political Science and Communication major Sarah Minghini was selected as one of 20 students from across the country to participate in the PRovoke Global Summit, a high-level forum designed for senior public relations practitioners to address the critical issues facing the profession.

she began leading in 1996, that she experienced true philanthropy work.

“Philanthropy is very different from charity,” she said. “The only similarity is that money is given. Charity is given with no expectation and no real understanding of the root of the situation. Philanthropy goes all the way. Philanthropy says here’s what you need but let’s get at the root causes and figure out what we can do better.

Philanthropy plays the long game. There are things I’ve worked on for years before you see that progress or you see that needle begin to move, but it does.”

Minghini participated in the MSL Learning Track, a program sponsored by MSL Global, an experiential marketing agency, in conjunction with PRovoke Global Summit, to allow select communication students to attend the three-day event, gain access to top industry professionals, network with PR experts and fellow students and stay informed about the latest industry trends. The summit took place in Washington, D.C. in late October.

Minghini, who has a minor in Global Studies, is active on campus and has held leadership positions in the Model United Nations Club, the Marketing and Communications Club, the Political Science National Honors Society, and the Communication National Honors Society. She has worked as a Corporate Communications Intern at Volvo Cars USA and the J.M. Smucker Company.

She said her job is challenging, especially when she has to say no.

“My husband would say, ‘How difficult is it to give away money?’ That’s coming from an engineer, but it’s very difficult if you’re doing it right,” she said.

Foundation leaders must weigh an organization’s proposed project with the foundation’s own priorities.

“It has to make a lot of sense because not everything someone wants to do needs to be done,” she said. “I have to say no more often than I say yes, and what I like to do is give people something to take away. Tell them what my thoughts are to make the project better. … The biggest thing I can do is be honest.”

CDC Students Visit Caritas Christi Seniors On a bright morning during fall break, adults at Seton Adult Day Center had some special visitors: children and their families from Seton Hill’s Child Development Center. The senior citizens and the children danced with scarves, played a balloon game and made art together at the Monahan Center at Caritas Christi, the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill.

This was the first in a planned series of meetings to bring the generations together. Maria Stone, director of Seton Hill’s Child Development Center on campus, met with Kim McKinney, director of the Seton Adult Day Center, in the spring of 2024. The two have worked together to set up a schedule where CDC families can bring their children to the Monahan Center on specific days when the center will be closed. Through this program, the 12 adults with mild to moderate dementia will have the opportunity to interact with the preschool children.

Seton Hill Achieves National Recognition U.S. News and World Report Ranks SHU Among Best in the North Seton Hill University was once again named among the Best Regional Universities in the North in the 2025 edition of America’s Best Colleges by U.S. News & World Report. The university was also lauded as a Best Value School and a Best College for Veterans.

Seton Hill ranked 49th among Regional Universities in the North, 24th in the Best Value category and 38th among Best Colleges for Veterans.

“Seton Hill University has been consistently ranked by U.S. News and World Report as a Best Regional University because of the work of our outstanding faculty and staff who provide students with a high-quality liberal arts education coupled with coursework in professional disciplines that allow students to find success after graduation and beyond,” said President Mary C. Finger. “Seton Hill’s repeated designations as a Best Value School and a Best College for Veterans represents the university’s historic commitment to affordability for students and their families as well as our work to ensure that students with military backgrounds can start the next chapter in their lives with a Seton Hill education.”

The annual rankings, in which U.S. News categorizes schools based on the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, represent the most comprehensive look at how schools stack up based on a set of indicators of excellence, and help consumers evaluate and compare data compiled from nearly 1,500 accredited four-year schools.

Seton Hill Named a College of Distinction for Fifth Year Seton Hill has been recognized as a 2024-2025 College of Distinction, a prestigious honor that highlights its unwavering commitment to providing an exceptional undergraduate education. The award reflects Seton Hill’s dedication to fostering hands-on learning, strong studentfaculty relationships, an active campus community, and stellar student outcomes.

Since its founding in 2000, Colleges of Distinction has awarded schools for their successful implementation of high-impact educational practices and hands-on learning.

Unlike traditional ranking systems based on numerical data, its rigorous selection process involves extensive research and detailed interviews with the institutions, accepting only those that adhere to the Four Distinctions: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Community, and Successful Outcomes.

This is the fifth consecutive year Seton Hill has been recognized as a College of Distinction. In addition, the University received special recognition for its programs in Business, Education and Nursing along with its Career Development and Equity and Inclusion efforts.

USING 3D PRINTING TO PROBLEM SOLVE Associate Professor of Art Brian Ferrell

Associate Professor of Art Brian Ferrell has been taking the knowledge gained while setting up Seton Hill’s 3D printing lab in the Arts Center and using it – coupled with his artistic vision and interests in sustainability – to collaborate both on and off campus.

Since Trip’s test run, Ferrell has continued his work designing and printing additional elbows that were tested on various dogs over the summer, occasionally driving out to 3D Pets site in New Jersey to see them in action.

Ferrell was selected to be part of Fallingwater in their artist-inresidence program and will be developing a series of interior design pieces that use reclaimed wood from the property and integrate that with sustainably produced 3D printed materials. The longterm project will require Ferrell to collect and dry the wood from the property before designing and creating the pieces, which will be displayed in the house at Fallingwater upon their completion.

Beyond the word of pet prosthetics, Ferrell is expanding his medical 3D printing to collaborate with another course on Seton Hill’s campus. This fall, Ferrell and Assistant Professor of Biology Donna HaworthWard initiated a relationship between his 3D Printing course and her Innovation in Health Science class. The plan is to pair students up next academic year so that a student in the Health Science class can develop an idea for a medical device that a student in Ferrell’s class can bring to life in the form of a 3D printed model.

The Fallingwater project isn’t his first or only work with 3D printing. As Ferrell was developing the 3D printing lab for Seton Hill in the Arts Center – which coincided with the pandemic shutdown – he sought out to develop partnerships or collaborate with businesses that focused on 3D printing.

A cold-call to 3D Pets Prosthetics led to an initial connection doing research on the challenge of how to make 3D printed molds to turn recycled plastic bags into components for animal wheelchair carts. Ferrell started researching ways to recycle failed prints either by making filament or developing molds to cast the used plastic. His initial work with 3D Pets was centered on recycling their failed prints.

Last summer, 3D Pets asked him to tackle a new challenge: designing an elbow for the dog prosthetic so that the artificial limb won’t be in the way when the dog lies down.

The design challenge didn’t end there: the elbow would have to snap back up when the dog stands and withstand the dog running without buckling. After a number of prototypes, Ferrell successfully created the first jointed animal prosthetic for dogs. A fully working elbow was first tested on Trip, the large Rottweiler who serves as 3D Pets’ mascot, in July and the dog has continued to put it through further tests before production begins. Once given the go ahead, Ferrell will get to work fulfilling 50 orders for the large dog elbow prosthetics.

Faculty Work to Create Bridge Between Creative Fields and Entrepreneurship

Alumni Artists Take Part in Greensburg ACRE Cohort Last fall, Bridgeway Capital announced the Greensburg cohort of their Alliance for Creative Rural Economies program. Twelve local creative businesses were selected to participate in entrepreneurial programming, hosted at the Seton Hill Arts Center and led by two Seton Hill professors.

For the past year, Lyz Marshall, Assistant Professor of Business and Director of the Wukich Center for Entrepreneurial Opportunities, and Associate Professor of Art Brian Ferrell worked to guide a cohort of local artists and ensure that they had the entrepreneurial knowledge to support making a living from their creative talent.

Marshall provided business coaching and Ferrell provided artistic support. Three Seton Hill alumni were selected as participants: Pam Cooper ’93, Dashier Rocket ’01, MA ’13 and Amy Roadman ’00.

“Adam Kenney, Chief Program Officer at Bridgeway Capital, demonstrated leadership, vision, and strategic timing by recognizing Greensburg’s economic growth potential,” Marshall said. “He saw an opportunity to align with Seton Hill University’s rich liberal arts tradition to transform the community through the ACRE partnership and cohort, designed to support art entrepreneurs. This collaboration enhanced and advanced both organizations’ missions of community service.”

ACRE’s goal is to bring creativity-driven economic development to rural areas across the region, supporting creatives in their career journeys and offering support and resources so that they can achieve business stability and bring benefit to their communities. Creative businesses in the selected communities are invited to apply to join a yearlong ACRE Partners cohort composed of likeminded entrepreneurs across a wide variety of industries.

The program provides connections to other creative entrepreneurs and pathways to strengthen and evolve their creative and business practices.

Through Bridgeway Capital, Marshall and Ferrell also had the opportunity to attend the ACRE Symposium at the Touchstone Center for Crafts in May where they spoke to regional leaders from the economic development and creative sectors.

The day featured insights from key thought leaders of creative economy development in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia, such as Bill Woodrum, Senior Program Officer for Community and Economic Development at the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation, and Karl Blischke, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

It also allowed the program’s participants and practitioners to come together to share emerging best practices and lessons learned in their work to develop a creative economy locally and regionally.

The ACRE Invitational Exhibition, coordinated by Ferrell, was held on campus in the Harlan Gallery at the Seton Hill Arts Center in June and July. Visual arts focused creatives from all the regional ACRE cohorts submitted work for review by three jurors: Lindsay Keterer Gates, Director of Touchstone Center for Craft; Juston Gunther, Director of Fallingwater; and Rachel Rearick, Executive Director at Contemporary Craft. The final exhibit featured work from 12 regional makers from the ACRE communities of Greensburg, Johnstown, New Kensington, Wheeling, and Morgantown.

Seton Hill Distinguished Alumna Pamela Cooper was one of the artists selected for the exhibit.

“It’s been earth changing. It’s been so positive for all of us,” Cooper said of the ACRE cohort experience.

She said Greensburg cohort members continue to offer support to one another.

The ACRE Greensburg participants were also celebrated at a graduation ceremony at the Greensburg Garden and Civic Center in August.

Additionally, Lyz Marshall and participant Sarah Hunter, a multi-disciplinary artist, teacher and curator, who also served as the cohort’s Eco-System Coordinator, were featured – along with other ACRE Program participants across the region – in a video presentation as part of Bridgeway Capital’s Annual Meeting.

“Working artists are small businesses that add value to the region. The ACRE program is helping to strengthen the creative economy here in Greensburg,” Ferrell said.

“Additionally, it serves as a model for our student artists as they become professionals. The whole project really highlights how Seton Hill can be a community partner in the local arts scene.”

CLASS OF 1974 CELEBRATES 50TH REUNION WITH GENEROUS DONATION When Seton Hill’s Class of 1974 returned to campus to celebrate their 50th reunion they brought back an incredible gift to the university — more than $175,000. While the class initially hesitated at setting a $50,000 goal to celebrate their 50 years, they quickly achieved it. During their reunion dinner at Regina House, the Class of 1974 announced a gift of $137,823, a gift that continued to grow with additional gifts and pledges submitted during Alumni Weekend.

“I would like us to recognize how many of our classmates attended our reunion, the amazing lives they have lived and additionally how many of our classmates who were not able to attend and reached out to us. It made me proud to be a Setonian,” said Jackie Kendrick Gravell, one of the Class of ’74 reunion chairs. “I had several attendees from different classes comment on how many Class of ‘74 classmates were there. I hope that our class has had a positive influence on other Setonians.”

Below: Classmates enjoy their 50th Reunion Dinner in June.

“Our 50th year reunion class gift of $175,000 is truly remarkable and reflects the deep connection and gratitude our classmates feel towards their alma mater. This kind of gift can significantly impact SHU and is a testament to the enduring bonds formed during those school years and the collective desire to give back and support future generations.”

Kathy Bolgar Fenelon, one of the Class of ‘74 reunion chairs

CLASS OF 2024 GIFT SUPPORTS FUTURE SETONIANS When Seton Hill’s Class of 2024 began classes in the fall of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic had caused financial difficulties for many Seton Hill students. But thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends, the Setonian Financial Aid Scholarship Fund provided much-needed relief to those impacted by the pandemic shutdown.

So when it came time for the Class of 2024 to decide on a gift they would leave behind for future students, they decided to make a donation to the Setonian Financial Aid Scholarship Fund, which now provides support to students in challenging situations. The Class made their gift through the sale of class cords that student donors wore at commencement and other fundraising events.

The Class of 2024’s gift joins a long line of giving by each graduating class, including a U.S. Savings Bond for a library fund from the Class of 1921, furniture for the Parlors from the Classes of 1927 and 1931, and the Havey clock by the Class of 2006.

“It is our hope that this gift will continue to benefit future generations of Setonians through hardships to earn their college degrees.”

TRACY EBERHARDT’S DEDICATION TO SPECIAL EDUCATION REMEMBERED WITH SCHOLARSHIP Tracy Eberhardt dedicated more than two decades of her life to working with students with special needs. Tracy, who earned her master’s degree in special education from Seton Hill, made a tremendous difference in the lives of the students and families she served.

When Tracy died in May 2023, her family received an outpouring of support and heard countless stories of how she positively affected the lives of colleagues in the special education field and of the impact she had on the children with special needs that she served. As a result, her husband established the Tracy S. Eberhardt Memorial Fund to award grants to a variety of projects, scholarships, and organizations in Southwestern Pennsylvania that serve and care for these same individuals that Tracy dedicated her life to helping.

Through the memorial fund, the Eberhardt family established the Tracy Eberhardt Legacy Scholarship at Seton Hill. The scholarship will be awarded to a junior or senior student at the university who is majoring in special education.

“Keeping Tracy’s memory and legacy alive with the memorial fund and this scholarship was important to us,” her family said. “The hope and goal of this scholarship is to help a student who shares the same passion that Tracy had so that her spirit will live on in that field as a new teacher sets out on their own path to touch the lives of special needs students.”

FACULTY MEMBER ANDREA ACKER REMEMBERED WITH ENGLISH-FOCUSED SCHOLARSHIP Andrea Acker was passionate in her teaching and in her efforts to mentor the many students who came through her classroom at the Penn Hills School District as well as in her role on the faculty in the School of Humanities at Seton Hill.

After losing Andrea to metastatic breast cancer, her mother Shirley Schilling chose to create a scholarship that would support students studying English Literature or English Creative Writing to help heal the family’s grief. The Andrea Acker Memorial Endowed Scholarship at Seton Hill will honor Andrea’s educational efforts and provide ongoing support to students in her memory.

“Students were Andrea’s priority above all. She thrived in helping and molding the futures of students who helped themselves,” said Schilling. “Her family is proud to be able to support student success with the financial assistance that she was not privileged to have had through her educational journey.”

The family chose to first create an annual scholarship in Andrea’s name, which they have since endowed so that generations of Setonians will benefit.

“Andrea’s lifelong goal was to educate the college level student. She was inspired by the quality of education at Seton Hill and connected with the mission and vision of the University.” - Shirley Schilling, mother of Andrea Acker

DOUG WOOD GOLF CLASSIC SUPPORTS STUDENT ATHLETES Seton Hill held the Doug Wood Golf Classic in June at Arnold Palmer’s Latrobe Country Club. 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.

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 16 years ago.

Douglas E. Wood ‘11, son of the late Doug Wood (far right), with members of his foursome Matt Ankeny ‘08, Josh Pratt ‘08 and Mat Healey ‘07.

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. Thanks to this year’s event, the Athletics Department made upgrades to the existing Field House on campus and added additional storage.

Please save the date for the next Doug Wood Golf Classic scheduled for Monday, June 2, 2025 at Arnold Palmer’s Latrobe Country Club.

Amy Wood, daughter of the late Doug Wood (far right), with members of her foursome Ronald Wilson, Philip Graves and Mary Wilson-Graves.

STEPHANIE J. POWERS ’71 Stephanie J. Powers developed passions that would drive her future after Seton Hill.

She recalled how the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill – particularly Zoe Dorsa and Sister Lois Sculco – made a profound impact on her life.

During her time as a student, Powers saw how change can happen when people come together to achieve a common goal – as she and her classmates successfully worked to change a dress code policy on campus.

Making positive change became a hallmark of Powers’ career. She gained extensive experience in the non-profit and public sector in workforce development, community organizing, public policy advocacy, and disability employment advocacy.

Powers served in the Clinton administration as Chief of Staff and Director of Public Affairs in the Employment and Training Administration and later as the National School to Work Director. She was also CEO of the National Association of Workforce Boards and the Senior Advisor for Public Policy Partnerships at the Council on Foundations.

Powers has maintained her connection to Seton Hill through regular giving, attending reunions and serving as a reunion chair. A Distinguished Alumna, Powers has also made provision for the University in her estate plans through the establishment of an endowed scholarship named in honor of her mother.

“When reviewing my estate plans, it was important to me to continue my efforts in public service in some way,” Powers said. “I was able to reach the pinnacle of my own career thanks to the education I received at Seton Hill, and I want to make that possible for future students. Seton Hill provided the foundation for my success in life, and it is my hope that other Setonians will benefit from my gift and go out and make a difference in the world.”

“My time at Seton Hill led me to recognize the importance of fairness, leadership, charity and social justice and helped me shape my life and my professional career.” - Stephanie Powers
