From the President’s Desk Opening Remarks Dear Friends, This magazine is an excellent means to catch up on what has been happening at the university. It is entirely fitting that the cover feature in this first issue of the new magazine style format is the inspiring story of alumni Sam and Linda Niedbala. It is a classic entrepreneurial tale which I feel embodies the true spirit of your university. Other highlights inside include: • Alumni Association honors, Alumni Day coverage and Homecoming coverage • Spotlight on alumnus Darrin Lamont Byrd ’91, who is an up and coming international musical theater performer • Feature on retired Distinguished Professor of Athletic Training John Thatcher ’69, M’70 A few of the highlights that a visit to your university would reveal are: A tremendous amount of student activity, with a new record number of students (over 7,000) ; major construction activity on the new Science and Technology Center; dynamic academic initiatives such as a new organismal biology laboratory/indigenous animals exhibit; and visits by speakers as prominent as Pakistan’s ambassador to the United Nations and 1960s activist Angela Davis. Most of you received the university’s Annual Report, a 16-month ESU photo calendar which features photographs and other highlights of the past year. Among those highlights is the groundbreaking for the Alumni Herald The Alumni Herald is the offi cial publication for East Stroudsburg University’s Alumni and is published three times a year.
