Greetings…..

From The President’s

DeskWilliam E. Griscom

I start this column sadly by acknowledging the loss of our oldest alumni Thomas J. Cence on October 3rd of this year at the age of 99. Mr. Cence graduated in the class of 1935 in the Carpentry program. Tom was a successful business man and civic leader. He was one of the first people I met when I came to Stevens and was one of the finest and nicest men I have ever known. He was a relentless advocate for the College and a role model for all alumni. I was proud and honored to call him my friend. Additional information about Mr. Cence is included in this issue of the Tower.

This academic year began with the largest enrollment in our history of 900 students; a number that should grow each year until we reach our Academic Plan goal of 1,825 students by approximately 2020. This year’s increase was the direct result of two new programs: Water and Environmental Technology; and Electro-Mechanical Technology. In addition evening programs in: Machine Technology and Computer Aided Manufacturing; and Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration were initiated. I will use the remainder of this column to provide you with a bullet point summary of Updates that span the previous, current and upcoming year.

FUNDING: The College received an increase of $2 million in its State appropriation. Only two higher education institutions in Pennsylvania received an increase. The increase will off-set increased operating expenses and support expansion.

ASSESSMENT: Expansion of assessment continues with all programs now having national pre and post tests for technical competency and the initiation of testing for competencies in general educations courses.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN: The College initiated and successfully completed a $2 million capital campaign. The funds facilitate the acquisition of property from the City of Lancaster that will accommodate the expansion delineated in the College’s Master Plan to create the Greiner Campus; an Advanced Manufacturing Center.

GREINER CAMPUS: The design of the new Greiner Campus was begun and should be completed within the year. The projected date for the completion of construction and occupancy is April of 2017.

JENZABAR PORTAL: Full implementation of the College’s new web portal occurred during the year. The portal increases services to students and operational efficiency.

TAX CREDIT FUNDS: The College received a contribution of $50,000 from UGI Utilities from their tax credit allocation in addition to other tax credit contributions to support the College’s K-12 initiative. This will permit the continuation and expansion of the Adopt-A-Kindergarten program, Stevens Middle School summer camps, and dual enrollment. The K-12 initiative is part of the College’s strategy to insure academically qualified Stevens’ Grant students in the future.

DONATION OF BOILERS: Burnham Corporation agreed to donate the boilers required to heat the buildings at the new Greiner Campus.

FOUNDRY PARTNERNSHIP: Following several meetings and discussions with representatives of the regional foundry industry, it was decided to create a facility and begin offering courses in this field. Modifications to an area at the Branch Campus were initiated and curriculum developed. Equipment will be ordered and installed in the fall of 2014 with courses starting on or before November of 2014.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR GRANT: The College was awarded a U.S. Department of Labor grant for $2.2 million. The grant spans four years and provides for equipment and instruction in the following areas: welding; metal fabrication and welding; machine technology; foundry; and heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration.

SCHOLARSHIPS: Private sector funding for scholarships increased from $55,000 to approximately $110,000 during the year due to renewed efforts in this area by the College’s Development Office. In addition the College provides financially disadvantaged students approximately $2.5 million in direct aid.

In Memoriam Thomas J. Cence March 24, 1915 – October 3, 2014Thomas James Cence, 99, passed away on Friday, October 3, 2014 at Brethren Village. He was born in Harrisburg, PA on March 24, 1915 to Thomas James and Iva Sue (Birely) Cence. He was the devoted husband of the late Jean Keener Cence whom he married in 1950 and with whom he shared 54 years of marriage. He is survived by his daughters, Barbara (Mrs. Daniel) Witmer of Lancaster

and Mary (Mrs. Richard) Trost of Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan, and his granddaughters Elizabeth and Katherine Trost.

Tom graduated from the Thaddeus Stevens Trade School in 1935 with trades in architectural drawing and carpentry. After graduation he was employed in Lancaster in the local housing industry. During World War II he served on special assignment to the US Air Force in North Africa. Upon his return in 1944 he joined Armstrong Cork Company in Lancaster where he moved through various positions from engineering drafting into field sales. In 1955 he joined Keener Tag Manufacturing in Lancaster and remained its President and owner until 1985. He was also the President and owner of Metzger Publicity in Lancaster and Tagcraft Corporation in Brooklyn, NY.

An active member of the Lancaster business and civic community, he remained an especially stalwart supporter of the Thaddeus Stevens Trade School, now the Stevens College of Technology, for all of his life. Beginning in 1955 and until his death, he was a member of the Thaddeus Stevens Alumni Association and the Thaddeus Stevens Foundation where he served terms as Secretary and President and was instrumental in establishing the Alumni Housing Program. Appointed to the Stevens Board of Trustees in 1963 by then Governor Scranton, he became its President in 1973 and served two terms in that position. Upon the school’s accreditation as the Stevens College

of Technology, he was the recipient of the first honorary degree and was bestowed a Doctor of Public Service in 1998. So that others may benefit from the education and guidance of the institution, he endowed the Thomas Cence Scholarship that has been awarded annually since 2009.

In addition to his lifework at Stevens, he served on the Boards of Directors of the Teachers Protective Life Insurance Company, Davis Oil Company, Meridian Bank, and Lancaster Federal Savings and Loan. He was a member and past President of the Lancaster Area Manufacturers Association (LAMA). During his service LAMA merged with the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce and Industry to become the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce. Elsewhere within the community, he was a Chair of the East Hempfield Community Chest, director of the James Buchanan Foundation, and past President of the Lancaster Rotary Club where he had perfect attendance for over 50 years of membership. He was a faithful member of St. James Episcopal Church where he served five years as a vestryman and Registrar and where along with his wife Jean he established the Cence Youth Fund to support programming for the parish and community.

An avid, talented, and fiercely competitive golfer, he was a member of the Lancaster Country Club, Pine Valley Golf Club, and The Landings Country Club of Skidaway Island, Savannah, GA. Winner of the LCC Club Championship in 1950, he won numerous tournaments throughout Lancaster and the broader golf community. Throughout his playing years, he shot scores at or below his age on many occasions. He also enjoyed many years of membership in the Tucquan Club and Lancaster Pirates.

The Director’s CornerAlex Munro, Executive Director

Foundation & Alumni Association

Be sure to read the article “Back to College, the Only Gateway to the Middle Class” on page 9 by Professor Robert B. Reich from Berkeley, California. In it he addresses the exact crises our nation is experiencing in needing technically trained workers. This article magnifies the justification and need for Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology to expand the college and increase enrollment. Our graduates, with their valued technical skills, are not only used by Pennsylvania industries, they’re in demand across America.

If you have a desire to continue with your supporting contributions, you may call our Foundation Office at 717-295-9666. Our need for heroes of generosity is forever present and will be critical to the growth of the College.

From Vision to FruitionDear Alumni and Friends of Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology:

In most cases, everyone knows to fulfill a vision it takes justification, planning, momentum, and funding. Our President, William Griscom, has provided the leadership and shared vision to advance and expand the technical training facilities of the College, which will significantly increase enrollment in order to meet growing demands by industry for Stevens graduates. Young men and women are

continuing to seek a Stevens education in considerable numbers that are far greater than our current capacity. The new Greiner campus will certainly be a vital facility as we work to meet the challenge of increasing our student enrollment to 1800-2000 within the next five years.

We’re happy to report that because of your most caring and extreme generosity, Stevens College is now embarking on a major expansion: the purchasing of the National Guard Armory Facility, in addition to the adjoining 5 acres of woodland that will be conveyed to the College from the city of Lancaster by the end of the year has elevated optimism to the highest.

Since you’re the real heroes of honor of this campaign, we thought it would be nice if we gave you a little summary of what brought us to the victory circle. Sometimes it’s just nice to know the foundational thoughts and background on how this project evolved.

Administrative Leadership at Its BestIn early spring of 2013, it was brought to President Griscom’s attention that the National Guard Armory was vacated. After considerable thought and inquiries, President Griscom presented a shared vision to acquire this facility as part of an expanded campus for Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology. This would allow us to double the Machine Tool and Computer Aided Manufacturing, Metals Fabrication, Welding, and HVAC technical programs.

With that vision, the beginnings of numerous meetings followed at all levels to acquire the property. The real genesis of the campaign came to fruition not quite a year and a half ago on May 24, 2013 when Frank and Sharon Greiner made a most welcomed and generous gift of a $1,000,000 matching pledge in a presentation to President Griscom. This was the lead and inspiring gift to kick off the Campaign.

Based on the current success of the Greiner Campaign, Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, in the very near future, will be working with the architects on design and developing working drawings.

Community Donors Excel in GenerosityYou’re the heroes. The amazing success of the Campaign lies with the full participation of the community, which includes friends of the College, faculty, students, alumni, foundations, organizations, businesses and industry, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Each and every one was a major player.

Well, here we are enjoying the results of a victorious campaign. It is so amazing as I look back and see how one couple, the Greiners, who believed in our mission and the excellent training provided by Stevens, willingly embraced our expansion initiative by putting up the Million Dollar Match Campaign.

The Hands of Harvest Were Many and You Met the ChallengeTo see the contributions from the community come flowing in was such a motivator to everyone working on the campaign. The financial support was a miracle in itself. The real success was the coming together as a community collectively, not only helping us reach our $1,000,000 goal, but to exceed it. With all donations and pledges in, including in-kind gifts and grants, we’ve raised the amazing sum of $1,441,331. When added to the Greiner’s gift, we’ll have raised a total of $2,441,331. We’re happy to announce we not only achieved our goal, we exceeded it thanks to each of you. I think the words “it took a community” would partially capture the enthusiasm that was carried throughout our campaign. Your investment and participation in the Greiner Campaign validates my belief that you, too, have a great desire to help change the lives of young people through technical education. Once again I would like to point out that you’re the real heroes of our campaign.

Your financial support gave immeasurable momentum to the Greiner $1,000,000 Match Campaign. To see the community at large coming together, embracing our mission and supporting our expansion initiative was an overwhelming incentive to everyone at the College.


From The President’s Desk – continued from page 3

STRATEGIC PLANNING: The College began its strategic planning efforts for 2014-17. During the year five new strategic goals were created. Strategies and action plans will be completed for each goal in the fall of 2014 and work initiated by January of 2015.

MIDDLE STATES ACCREDITATION REPORT: The College submitted its interim monitoring report to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and was subsequently notified the report was accepted. This maintains the College’s accreditation during this 10 year cycle. The College will begin its self-study report for the next cycle beginning in the fall of 2014.

ASPEN INSTITITUE RECOGNITION: The College was again selected by the Aspen Institute as one of the top ten percent of two-year colleges in the United States.

STEM COMPETITION: In May of 2015 the College will host the first statewide STEM competition for high schools students. The competition is being sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

GRANT STUDENT BOOKS & TOOLS: In order to resolve the issue of financially disadvantaged students (Stevens Grant Students) not having all of their books and tools on the first day of class, the College has created a process to eliminate this issue. The process will go into full effect the first day of the spring semester of 2015.

PENNYSLVANIA STATE EMPLOYEES’ CREDIT UNION (PSECU) PARTNERSHIP: The College has entered into a partnership with PSECU to provide banking services to students, faculty and staff which includes the installation of two ATM machines and a banking education center. The ATM’s and banking center should be fully operational by November of 2014.

REORGANIZATION OF RETENTION, GRADUATION AND PLACEMENT EFFORTS: Based on the College’s assessment data and dashboards it was determined that current efforts to improve retention, graduation and placement success provided an opportunity for improvement. Consequently reorganization of the area was undertaken. An Academic Center replaced the Office of Student Retention and Success. The focus will be on advising and fuller implementation of the College’s portal- based Early Warning System. In addition a second counselor will be added.

GRANTS: The Development Office, which includes grants, had unprecedented success over the last year bringing in over $2.5 million of funding with several significant grants still pending.

As you can see from the bullet points above it has been and continues to be a very busy and exciting time at the College. The initiatives and accomplishments I have briefly outlined above are the direct result of the efforts of a great team that is totally dedicated to fulfilling the College’s mission and the support of our alumni and friends. I look forward to providing you with additional updates in the future.

Best regards,

Collectively, you have enabled President Griscom’s advancing vision for Stevens to come to fruition.

Vision to FruitionIt’s with enormous gratitude that enables us to say thank you to each of you who participated in the Greiner $1,000,000 Match Campaign. Your supporting contributions of generosity poured in at all levels of giving. It was an exciting campaign for everyone in knowing for each dollar donated, the Greiners would match it dollar for dollar up to $1,000,000. Once we got started, the volcano of donors erupted and the financial gifts started pouring in.

We have a 109 year history of producing graduates that are highly skilled tradespeople and technicians. I always say we’re the little but mighty State-owned college who does a very big job for the businesses and industries of the Commonwealth of PA. We’re a valuable asset and economic driver for the State. You’ll never be disappointed investing in Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology.

Your philanthropic participation in the Greiner Campaign will always be a part of your legacy. Regardless of the amount of your gift, you’re leaving an inheritance to humanity. What a wonderful and lasting contribution you’ve made to mankind that will continue to change lives for endless generations to come. We couldn’t have done it without your most thoughtful support.

Reaching our $1,000,000 goal was an outstanding accomplishment. It truly took a community and together we made it happen. Without the heroic effort from each one of you, we wouldn’t be celebrating a victory. Each donation has been received by Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology with the utmost appreciation. Thank you again and have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you for giving life to our vision; you are our heroes of generosity.

Respectfully,

Alex B. Munro Executive Director

Twenty-four named scholarships were awarded to 59 students for the 1014-15 year, totaling a record $110,000. Students had the opportunity to meet their benefactors at the annual Scholarship Awards and Donor Recognition Dinner on September 18, 2014.


Back to College, the Only Gateway to the Middle Class

Reprinted with Permission from Robert Reich www.robertreich.org - Monday, September 1, 2014

This week, millions of young people head to college and universities, aiming for a four-year liberal arts degree. They assume that degree is the only gateway to the American middle class.

It shouldn’t be.

For one thing, a four-year liberal arts degree is hugely expensive. Too many young people graduate laden with debts that take years if not decades to pay off.

And too many of them can’t find good jobs when they graduate, in any event. So they have to settle for jobs that don’t require four years of college. They end up overqualified for the work they do, and underwhelmed by it.

Others drop out of college because they’re either unprepared or unsuited for a four-year liberal arts curriculum. When they leave, they feel like failures.

We need to open other gateways to the middle class.

Consider, for example, technician jobs. They don’t require a four-year degree. But they do require mastery over a domain of technical knowledge, which can usually be obtained in two years.

Technician jobs are growing in importance. As digital equipment replaces the jobs of routine workers and lower-level professionals, technicians are needed to install, monitor, repair, test, and upgrade all the equipment.

Hospital technicians are needed to monitor ever more complex equipment that now fills medical centers; office technicians, to fix the hardware and software responsible for much of the work that used to be done by secretaries and clerks.

Automobile technicians are in demand to repair the software that now powers our cars; manufacturing technicians, to upgrade the numerically controlled machines and 3-D printers that have replaced assembly lines; laboratory technicians, to install and test complex equipment for measuring results; telecommunications technicians, to install, upgrade, and repair the digital systems linking us to one another.

Technology is changing so fast that knowledge about specifics can quickly become obsolete. That’s why so much of what technicians learn is on the job.

But to be an effective on-the-job learner, technicians need basic knowledge of software and engineering, along the domain where the technology is applied – hospitals, offices, automobiles, manufacturing, laboratories, telecommunications, and so forth.

Yet America isn’t educating the technicians we need. As our aspirations increasingly focus on four-year college degrees, we’ve allowed vocational and technical education to be downgraded and denigrated.

Still, we have a foundation to build on. Community colleges offering two-year degree programs today enroll more than half of all college and

university undergraduates. Many students are in full-time jobs, taking courses at night and on weekends. Many are adults.

Community colleges are great bargains. They avoid the fancy amenities four-year liberal arts colleges need in order to lure the children of the middle class.

Even so, community colleges are being systematically starved of funds. On a per-student basis, state legislatures direct most higher-education funding to four-year colleges and universities because that’s what their middle-class constituents want for their kids.

American businesses, for their part, aren’t sufficiently involved in designing community college curricula and hiring their graduates, because their executives are usually the products of four-year liberal arts institutions and don’t know the value of community colleges.

By contrast, Germany provides its students the alternative of a world-class technical education that’s kept the German economy at the forefront of precision manufacturing and applied technology.

The skills taught are based on industry standards, and courses are designed by businesses that need the graduates. So when young Germans get their degrees, jobs are waiting for them.

We shouldn’t replicate the German system in full. It usually requires students and their families to choose a technical track by age 14. “Late bloomers” can’t get back on an academic track.

But we can do far better than we’re doing now. One option: Combine the last year of high school with the first year of community college into a curriculum to train technicians for the new economy.

Affected industries would help design the courses and promise jobs to students who finish successfully. Late bloomers can go on to get their associate degrees and even transfer to four-year liberal arts universities.

This way we’d provide many young people who cannot or don’t want to pursue a four-year degree with the fundamentals they need to succeed, creating another gateway to the middle class.

Too often in modern America, we equate “equal opportunity” with an opportunity to get a four-year liberal arts degree. It should mean an opportunity to learn what’s necessary to get a good job.

ROBERT B. REICH, Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley and Senior Fellow at the Blum Center for Developing Economies, was Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration. Time Magazine named him one of the ten most effective cabinet secretaries of the twentieth century. He has written thirteen books, including the best sellers “Aftershock” and “The Work of Nations.” His latest, “Beyond Outrage,” is now out in paperback. He is also a founding editor of the American Prospect magazine and chairman of Common Cause. His new film, “Inequality for All,” is now available on Netflix, iTunes, DVD, and On Demand.

Despite an early morning rain, the annual Homecoming & Family Day festivities were a success. Starting with the kids’ games and the annual Homecoming Cruise Car Show on the front lawn and continuing to Bevilaqua Stadium for a winning football game against the Delaware Gamecocks, another Stevens Homecoming was enjoyed by all. Go Bulldogs!

HOMECOMING 2014



Happenings in Academic AffairsDr. Robert Nye, Vice President

In previous issues, I have talked about current ongoing initiatives. This time is no different: we have two new programs of study up and running with the inaugural classes for ElectroMechanical Technology and Water and Environmental Technology on campus. Thanks to the efforts of Dr. Griscom, we will soon have a wireless campus which will really help us launch fully into tablet and apps driven learning methodologies. Additionally, we secured a new partnership with the

HACC Lancaster Bookstore to provide textbook book services to our students. In conjunction with our mission to support disadvantaged students, we are doing away with the textbook voucher for grant students and will now loan them their textbooks each year. This is a great initiative that ensures our students most in need have their textbooks on hand for the first day of class to increase the probability of student success.

But, that is not what I really want to highlight in this article. Instead, I want to highlight our faculty. I could tout every single faculty member we have, who make a difference for our students every day and for their contribution to our superb reputation throughout the state. Unfortunately, that would take far more article space than I am allowed. Instead, I wanted to highlight some of the extra-curricular work that almost all of our faculty do, but rarely get recognized for their efforts. Take the Cabinetry program for instance: it is through the efforts of Steve Latta and Rob Tobias that four of our students were recognized recently in a competition open to all students enrolled full time in a wood working program. Our students won first, second, third place and people’s choice awards in the competition held by held By Hearne Hardwoods, a national distributor of domestic and imported hardwoods. You can see true pride in the faces of our students!

The Collision Repair and Automotive Technology Program faculty members, David Lightner, Dennis Antosy, Marty Christian and Vic Gibson have teamed up with the Central Pennsylvania Porsche Club of America to provide tools for our students and each year they plan

to donate a Porsche automobile for students to repair and restore. You can see the results of that partnership below.

The Machine Tool and Computer Aided Manufacturing Program has partnered with numerous manufacturing companies to develop scholarships, and tool donations for our students. In the picture below, you can see all the MACH students recognized at the recent College Scholarship Dinner and their donors in the background.

We also have instructors providing extracurricular support to the community. Our Electronic Engineering Technology, ElectroMechanical Technology and Electric Technology programs along with Sean McKnight from our PreMajor Technical Exploration program have teamed up to demonstrate robotics and other scientific activity to community organizations.

These and many more examples are indicative of the quality faculty we have at Thaddeus Stevens College and the great supporting efforts from Allen Tate and Deb Strubel from the College Developments Office. But, what really stands out is that much of this extracurricular activity is done outside of the instructors’ required duties and responsibilities and is done with little or no compensation. They do it because of their love of teaching, mentoring, changing lives, and inherent belief in the College mission. So whenever you get a chance when you are on campus, I hope you’ll do what I do frequently here, and thank a current faculty member for their selfless service to the College. Some things never change. The current faculty are creating a legacy for graduating students who someday will return and reminisce about a current or retired faculty member who went the extra mile and changed their lives…….just like alumni do today when they return to campus for special events like homecoming, scholarship dinners and hall of fame inductions. In an ever changing digitalized and globalized world, it is good to see that some things don’t change.

Development NewsAllen E. Tate, Director of Development

As the end of 2014 approaches and you evaluate your tax planning strategies and potential year-end donations, you might want to keep this Tax Tip in mind.

The recent historic highs of the stock market offer a great opportunity for simultaneously helping the College and gaining a tax benefit through a gift of appreciated stock. By gifting appreciated stock you can take an immediate tax deduction for the full market value of the stock and avoid the capital gains tax owed when cashing in the securities. In most cases, the value of the gift of stock can be significantly higher than an outright cash donation.

A gift of appreciated stock to Thaddeus Stevens can be donated for unrestricted support and be applied to the Thaddeus Stevens Education Fund for educational programs or student emergency support as needed. The gift can also be designated to support a specific technical program to help provide state-of-the-industry equipment and facilities, student laboratory equipment and materials, and other needs that help train Stevens College’s students for the workplace. With such a gift, you can also establish or endow a scholarship program for students who need financial aid. Or it can support the needs of the College, as outlined in our Master Plan, for Program and Facilities over the next six years.

If you don’t have appreciated stock, there are many other ways to financially support the College or, as an alumnus, give back to the educational institution that jumpstarted your career. Many funding opportunities are available both presently and for the future. Almost every technical program has an equipment wish list that they would like filled this season. We are also open to exploring new opportunities that may be of interest to you or your company. As always, you should check with your CPA or financial advisor to make sure your tax planning strategy is appropriate for you. You can also request a copy of “Gift Planning Opportunities” booklet from The Development Office.

EITC (Educational Improvement Tax Credits) Did your company qualify for The PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) EITC Tax Credits this year? If so, Thaddeus Stevens Foundation/Thaddeus Stevens College is an approved Educational Improvement Organization (EIO) under this program. That means your company can donate a portion of your business taxes directly to Stevens to support our Kindergarten – 12th grade educational STEM and Career Awareness initiatives we offer to

participating area school districts. Our programs include Adopt-A-Kindergarten; Summer Experience STEM Camps, Tech Gyrls, Digital Workshop, and Experiencing Technology Program for middle school students; and the Dual/Early Enrollment program for high school seniors.

As teachers in one participating school district commented, “It has been through this program that our students have experienced connections between the classroom and the real world. Our students have had eye-opening experiences utilizing the tools and materials that professional tradesmen use. They are able to see how the teachings of the classroom relate to the jobs that they may hold in the future and begin to lay the foundations for success.”

Last year, numerous companies helped to make these programs successful. Because of their support, more schools and students are interested in gaining valuable hands-on experiences that are not otherwise available through their school district. If you have EITC tax credit funds available, I hope you will consider supporting Thaddeus Stevens as one of your funding recipients. It’s an investment that changes lives.

I am always encouraged by the various companies and individuals who follow up with me after the issuance of this newsletter and request further information or a tour of the campus. Sometimes they ask for a meeting to discuss partnership ideas or a specific project on campus, to establish a scholarship, or to present an EITC check. I enjoy meeting with you either in my office or yours to discuss funding opportunities and partnerships with you. Please call me at 717-391-7285 to schedule a time for us to get together. Oh, and by the way, the new Thaddeus Stevens Calendar should be available by the end of December. If you have an interest in receiving one, please jot me an e-mail at [email protected] and I will make sure your receive one when they are available. Thank you for your interest.

The Annual Report2013 - 2014

Dear Friends:

The Annual Fund campaign for 2013-14 ends with a remarkable $1,382,102. The success of this campaign incentivizes everyone as we embark on the Annual Fund campaign for 2014-15. It gives us a new benchmark to surpass and the opportunity to enlarge our community of supporting donors.

I’d like to wholeheartedly thank our many alumni, corporate partners and friends, who continue to support the mission of Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology through their gifts to the Foundation. Thanks to you, we have more supporters than ever before.

The mission of providing a quality technical education to Pennsylvania residents, regardless of their economic status, is taken seriously at TSCT. Helping to produce a highly skilled workforce and productive citizens within our Commonwealth is of utmost importance to us as we train our students to reach their skilled potential.

We know from experience it takes a community of supporting partners to reach our goals. Your gift is not only important; it’s a statement that working together we can make a difference in the lives of our students.

Respectfully,

Alex B. Munro Executive Director

Please note: Donations listed in this annual report were received during the fiscal year July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
