Game Day honorees acknowledged for service to Thiel THIEL COLLEGE HONORED FRIENDS OF THE COLLEGE AND alumni at halftime of all five home football games this year.
David Baughman and Northern Mercer County Foundation were the honorees Sept. 13 during the Tomcats home opener and second night game in school history. The Marion G. Resch Foundation Day was Sept. 20. Dr. Barry ’70 and Carol Stamm ’71 were honored during Homecoming on Oct. 4. Professor Gary Witosky ’79 was honored Oct. 25. Barry ’74 and Linda Oman ’75 finished the season by being honored Nov. 8. Thiel College commemorated the generosity of Baughman, a Greenville native and life-long resident of the borough. He passed away in November 2012 and bequeathed $3.7 million to the college. The gift, the second largest estate gift in Thiel history, funds the Emerson A. Baughman, Agnes F. Baughman and David E. Baughman Endowed Scholarship, which provides scholarships for students from Commodore Perry, Greenville, Jamestown and Reynolds school districts. The Marion G. Resch Foundation was established in 2000 in memory of the late Marion G. Resch. The Resch Foundation is committed to promoting the education of young people throughout the Mahoning
Valley. The Resch Foundation supports both college scholarships for students from the Mahoning Valley and early intervention programs to support younger students with college aspirations. Witosky is an advocate for students and steadfast supporter of his alma mater. He began his career in public accounting and his professional journey eventually led him back to Thiel where he helped the administration before returning to the classroom to teach. The Stamms met at Thiel and have remained committed to each other and the College since their graduation. Barry is the chairman of the Thiel 2016 campaign, the largest fundraising campaign ever undertaken by the school. He and Carol have worked tirelessly on behalf of the students of Thiel College and are passionate about the progress the institution is making and the successes it has had. They have hosted and attended numerous alumni events and are vital members of the Thiel College community. The Omans were recognized for continued dedication to the College and commitment to its students. Barry and Linda are the only husband-wife combination of Thiel graduates to have been inducted into the Thiel Athletics Hall of Fame for their individual accomplishments. Barry Oman, who is a volunteer assistant coach with the football team, was inducted in 2005 for his outstanding performance in football, while Linda Oman, who is on the Capital Campaign Committee and photographs many events for the college, was inducted in 1992 for her basketball career. She was also enshrined into the Hall of Fame in 1997 as a member of the undefeated women’s basketball teams from 1970-1973.
