ANNUAL REPORT2011

Changing Lives | Creating Legacies

Changing Lives…Creating Legacies… the theme of our 2011 Annual Report is the mantra that our founder, Thaddeus Stevens, envisioned when the College was established 106 years ago and it continues to be the driving force behind our mission.

As you read this combined Annual Report of the College and the Foundation, I believe you will be impressed with the many lives that we are changing and the significant legacies established by students, parents, alumni, our business and industry partners, and our dedicated faculty and staff.

From the President’s Desk

An important part of leadership is the wise counsel with which an individual surrounds oneself. Two years ago,CollegePresident,Dr.Griscom,establishedandassembled a Thaddeus Stevens College Community AdvisoryCouncilcomprisingofover30executivesrepresentative of the various constituencies the College serves. It is comprised of recognized leaders from centralPennsylvania’sbusiness,industry,education,government and social services who represent stakeholdersinthesuccessoftheCollegeand our students. The Community Advisory Council was established to advise the College on current trends and issues that affect Thaddeus Stevens College, the regional community and the state; evaluate current strategic initiatives of the College; recommend and advise on educational program innovation and responsiveness tostudentneeds,theworkplaceandthecommunity;and provide general advice to the College president. The council meets only twice annually, fall and spring,foratotaloftwohoursontheCollege’scampus. At each Advisory Council meeting various staff and faculty members provide College updates. Additionally, the council focuses on one specific discussion issue that theCollegewouldlikefeedbackontoassistinmakingstrategic decisions. “Inmyview,”G.YaleEastmanofEastmanPartnershipremarks,“thecouncilisastrong,interested,

purposeful and an effective group. From early on, the management of the College has listened carefully to the advice and suggestions of the council —and has acted promptly on that advice. This is a group that promises to be important in the forward progress of the College and will help in gaining the recognition Thaddeus Stevens College has earned and deserves.” Over the past two years the Community Advisory Council has focused on such topics such as: 1)Community Service: What can Thaddeus Stevens College do to be more effective in meeting the needs of the community we serve? 2) Workforce Development & Continuing Education: What additionally should the College be doing to meet the needs of employers? 3)Marketing:WhatistheCollege’sbrandawarenessinthe community and what should the College be doing to strategically support this effort? 4)Performance Assessment:Identifythecommonkeyperformance measures that should be used to determine state funding for higher education institutions in Pennsylvaniaaswellaskey performance measures that should be applied in evaluating Thaddeus Stevens College and its delivery of it mission. 5)Master Academic Plan: Evaluatingourcurrentacademic curriculum and suggest programmatic areas the College should consider adding to the curriculum studies to meet the pending industry and graduate needsintheworkplace.

building awareness with

innovative digital sign

Pictured above foundation executive director Alex Munro and board member Paul Hoffer review the plans for the sign.

Pictured right: Donors to the digital sign project gathered in August 2011 to celebrate the completion of the project.

Central Pennsylvania is well defined by its variety of industries. Many are large well known Fortune 500 Companies. There are also many area companies that manufacture or provide significant services, products or

equipment to support these major international organizations. One industry is the custom machinery and precision part manufacturers. Many started as small “shops” located in garages or small buildings. Because of the availability of skilled labor, and the quality of their work, several of the companies grew to become major factors in our national industrial landscape.

One leading company is Astro Machine Works, Inc. Located in Ephrata, Pa., Astro was established in 1984 by Eric Blow, Bill Youndt, Alan Ebersole, and Rick Ressler. Over the past 27 years, the company has established itself as a leader in providing custom automation machinery components and fabrications to a variety of regional and national industries including pharmaceutical, medical, energy production, food processing, general manufacturing, defense, and government projects. Astro’s services include custom machine building, CNC machining, wire EDM, welding and metal fabrication, reverse engineering, panel wiring and control systems, as well as, machine rebuilding and refurbishment.

Walk on to the floor of one of Astro Machine’s three facilities and a visitor with connections to Thaddeus Stevens College will quickly think they are amidst a Stevens alumni gathering. Of the 73 current Astro employees, 18 to 25 percent of the workforce represent graduates of Thaddeus Stevens College. To the College’s knowledge, this represents the largest concentration of alumni employed by one company. As a result, a true partnership exists between Astro Machine Works, Inc. and Thaddeus Stevens College’s Machine Tool and Computer Aided Manufacturing Technology program.

“We find that the training, attention to detail, maturity and overall quality of the Thaddeus Stevens graduates are top shelf,” states Eric Blow, Astro President. While we are in the business of producing precision machine parts, Thaddeus Stevens is in the business of turning out young men and women with the skills to enter the job market armed and ready to hit the ground running. I would say without hesitation a “Stevens” graduate is second to none. We as an employer benefit greatly from the close working relationship that has been built between the College and our organization over the years.

“Supporting the College has become a way of life at Astro Machine Works” Mr. Blow noted. “We actively participate in various functions like the career fair, the annual fund campaign, special projects and a recent Machine Technology Capital Campaign to purchase a wire EDM machine. In addition, we host student field trips, and serve on the department’s advisory committee to counsel on course content, equipment and other relevancies to the industry. Our employees, collectively on their own accord established, and solely fund an annual scholarship for a Thaddeus Stevens student who is studying Machine Tool and Computer Aided Technology. This is a very admirable endeavor and speaks to the caliber of our employees.”

Tom Dennes, professor of Machine Tool and Computer Aided Manufacturing at Thaddeus Stevens noted, “We have been working with Astro Machine Works since the 90s. It is important for our program that a company continues to aggressively recruit our graduates. It represents a level of justification for the demand and quality of our graduates in this field. The Astro partnership represents the strongest support of our program from any company in recent years.”

This partnership with Astro Machine Works, Inc. not only increases the opportunities for Stevens’ graduates for immediate employment but also creates an annual legacy, one that would have pleased our founder Thaddeus Stevens.

Ronda Rice ’12Graphic Communications & Printing Technology

Thaddeus Stevens College’s mantra is about changing lives. Many of our students are the traditional student

who has just graduated from high school and ready to pursue a post secondary educational experience that prepares them for a chosen career. However, there is a growing segment of “non-traditional students” at the College that have experienced an established career, and yet, because of changes in their life, workplace or philosophy, have returned to college to seek a new “pathway” for career fulfillment. Their experience at Thaddeus Stevens College is opening new career opportunities for them through a generation of new technology which adds value to their already gained experience.

In 2008, Ronda Rice, class of 2012, worked for a company that was transitioning its manufacturing to an overseas plant, and her job as a technical writer was eliminated in that process. “After 14 years of employment in the graphics field,” Rice states, “I found that I was ill-equipped for the current job market. The positions that previously required college degrees in communications and marketing now required a degree in graphic design. In 2010, I was fortunate enough to qualify for a federal grant to return to school. The Graphic

Communication & Printing Technology program at Stevens was suggested to me. I visited for the first time during the spring open house that year. Next thing I knew, I was a 40-year-old freshman.”

“Being a non-traditional student has been quite an eye-opening experience for me,” she relates. “Some of it has been humorous, like my adventures during freshman orientation week when I was confused for a parent. Of course, some of it has been quite challenging, like my first week in graphics class that left me wondering if I made the right decision. I’m glad I stuck it out! I realized I’m a stronger person because of it. More than anything else, I am still amazed by the support and guidance I’ve received here at Stevens. Sitting behind a student desk for the first time in 20 years can be very intimidating, but at Stevens I’ve always felt welcome and that I belonged.”

“When I was employed as a technical writer, I was responsible for writing text for consumer products and online crafting projects,” Ronda recounts. “My experience was mainly in desktop publishing and creating basic graphic elements. In my short time here at Stevens, I’ve learned computer illustration and photo manipulation skills, as well as gained experience in web design and various types of printing.”

“With the skills I’ve gained in just two years,” Ronda states, “I feel I can make a real contribution to this field. The professional attitude of my instructors and the workplace environment I was a part of will make it possible for me to make a seamless transition back into the corporate world.”

“Both my fondest memory and greatest accomplishment at Stevens, she explains, “was designing my own website. I spent almost six weeks designing and redesigning each page. I wanted my portfolio to reflect me as a person, as well as a graphics student. When I completed and published my website, I was encouraged by my instructors to enter the International Graphics Arts Education Association (IGAEA) design contest—and my website was voted Best In Show! www.thaddeusstevensgraphics.com/rice. I feel the value I have gained through my education at Stevens has prepared me to re-enter the workforce with so many more tools that I ever had before.”

“It is true that Stevens College is the best-kept secret in Pennsylvania higher education. I never heard of Stevens before it was suggested to come here. I think as a student and soon a 2012 graduate, it will be my duty to spread the word about Stevens and the amazing opportunities available.”

“And what are my plans after graduation? First, C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E! And, then I’m off to restart my career. I can’t wait!”

James Cramer ’73 Graphic Communications & Printing Technology

Director of Career and Technical Education

Gettysburg Area School District/Adams County Tech Prep Consortium

In 1971, as a high school senior, Jim Cramer received some life changing advice from his graphics instructor

at Conestoga Valley High School, in Lancaster, Pa. “He encouraged me to take my talent for design and graphics to the next level and enroll at Thaddeus Stevens College,” Cramer reminisces. “I followed his advice and in the fall of 1971, I entered Thaddeus Stevens College and pursued a degree in graphics, which has been my career.”

Cramer graduated from the College in 1973 and was recruited by Penn State to study vocational education. “In the early 70s there were many career centers being constructed throughout the state and there was a shortage of vocational teachers. I earned a two year Vocational Intern Teaching Certificate at Penn State and began teaching graphics at New Oxford High School in New Oxford, Pa. (Adams County) and taught for several years before returning to the printing industry,” Cramer relates. “I worked in the book manufacturing industry for 25 years in various supervision, service and sales positions. During that time, I continued to work on my education, and in 2005 completed my Penn State degree,” Cramer states. With the degree in hand, combined with an extensive career in the industry, Cramer was offered his current position as Director of Career and Technical Education for Adams County Tech Prep/Gettysburg School District where he applied the knowledge he gained in both areas. Also, he never stopped learning and in 2008 completed a MEd. in Workforce Education and Development from Penn State. Cramer states “the last seven years have been a joy.”

“At Thaddeus Stevens College, I learned work ethics needed to succeed and started down a path that opened all the other doors in my career. I appreciated how Thaddeus Stevens College prepared me. One thing I will never forget, Cramer relates, “is a statement by my college graphics instructor, Mike Fiorill. He told us in lab one day after we had been recruited by PSU, ‘one of the finest things you can do in your life is to pass your knowledge on to someone else.’ I’m back doing that now as a CTC Administrator and loving every minute! Thank you Stevens.”

William Offer ’12Business Administration

“Coming to Thaddeus Stevens College was a life changing experience. Not only did it save my life, but it gave me

a new career path to pursue. As a business administration major and a non-traditional student, I have had so many opportunities opened for me and I haven’t even graduated. I continue to enjoy mentoring younger students at the College, working the after school program at Wheatland Middle School, and assisting students at McCaskey High School.”

“The generosity of people investing in students like myself at Thaddeus Stevens, has made a huge impact in my life. This I would never have dreamed could become a reality. I hope in the future I can work for Thaddeus Stevens in some capacity so I can give back what the College and others have given me… HOPE and a FUTURE,” William Offer states.

Pennsylvania’s Nittany Valley has developed many well known personalities over the years as its

contribution to the state’s growth and history. These include sports personalities, a Heisman Trophy winner, government officials, educators, industrialists, and entrepreneurs. It’s also the home area for a 1957 Thaddeus Steven’s graduate who returned to Centre County after graduation and has made a major contribution to the quality of life.

Stevens alumnus, Wayne “Red” Deibler grew up in Pleasant Gap and graduated from Bellefonte Area High School in 1954. “During high school, I really didn’t know what career I wanted to pursue,” Deibler noted. “However, during this time I worked summers for various area contractors and began to think about a career in the trades. I was on our high school’s successful wrestling team. One of my teachers, knowing my interest in construction and wrestling, encouraged me to consider enrolling at Thaddeus Stevens College, where several other classmates had gone. I was fortunate to secure a scholarship and enrolled in the Carpentry program at Thaddeus Stevens.”

“One of the highlights of my years at Thaddeus Stevens,” said Deibler, “was my final year when the College’s wrestling team recorded our first ever undefeated season—that was a great honor,” Wayne, team captain during that season, noted, “and I have many friends from the College and our class. My wife, Janice, and I recently hosted a Center County Reunion of Thaddeus Stevens graduates and we had 48 people in attendance. This, in itself, tells you the impact the College has had on the lives of people in our county.”

“My years at Thaddeus Stevens prepared me for my career in carpentry and construction as well as for life’s challenges. One of my professors, Henry Wagner, had a saying that has always stuck with me in my approach to life. ‘Be on time for work and sleep when you get old.’”

“One of the most important things I learned at Stevens that has carried me from the carpentry shop and classrooms to the community and life is you are held responsible for your actions—so learn to make good decisions.”

Upon graduation from Stevens in 1957, Deibler returned to Centre County to work for Boalsburg Construction where he spent seven years applying his professional trade skills. During that time he helped build and manage a local ski area now known as Tussey Mountain. In the mid 60s he established Deibler Construction Company, which built residential homes and erected pre-engineered metal buildings. Later he partnered to form Continental Courts which developed a 425 manufactured housing community. Deibler was instrumental in Continental Courts donating 22 acres of land for Benner Township to establish the Buffalo Run Community Park for the residents. Wayne and his wife managed the community for 24 years. Today, Continental Courts is managed by a daughter, son and granddaughter while he enjoys semi-retirement. In 1994, he along with two of his children started Deibler Machining.

Deibler is extremely active in serving his community, beyond his business endeavors, through numerous board of directors, government activities, and organizational leadership, but also remembering his alma mater, Thaddeus Stevens College, and giving back to the many projects on campus.

The Deibler’s Spring View Farm, in Pleasant Gap, Pa., holds many signs of their personal hobbies and interests ranging from a full scale train layout with Engineer “Red” at the helm—to an artistically decorated home displaying various quilts hand made by Janice.

The Deibler’s are active ambassadors for the College in the Center County area and proud to be associated with Thaddeus Stevens Legacy.

“I believe if you are able,” comments Deibler, “it is important to give back to your school that has helped you live a productive life that will help future generations.”
