Dowling ’69, Board of Trustees, Chair Dear Friends: It is truly an honor to represent Keystone College as the newly elected Chair of the College’s Board of Trustees. On behalf of our entire Board, I want to extend my gratitude for the opportunity to serve Keystone in the months and years to come. I also want to offer a special thank you to outgoing Board Chair Bill Bender for his commitment to trustee development, board organization, and Committee involvement. As a Keystone graduate, I am keenly aware of our College’s many outstanding characteristics. First and foremost, students receive an excellent education. A Keystone degree prepares them to begin their careers with confidence, knowing they will be able to seize the opportunities and meet the challenges which lie before them. However, we all realize the Keystone experience is more than simply obtaining a degree and pursuing a career. At Keystone, we take great pride in our spirit of community. The accomplishments of one are celebrated by all and, similarly, we support and comfort each other in times of need. Our College has thrived under the leadership of Keystone President Dr. Edward G. Boehm, Jr. Under his direction, we have progressed from a junior college granting only associate degrees to a highly respected baccalaureate college, recognized locally, regionally, and nationally for the quality of our education. As Board Chair, I pledge that Keystone will continue its efforts to grow and prosper. As we progress, we will never lose sight of who we are as Keystonians. Our dedication, enthusiasm, and support for each other will never waiver. As an alumnus, I am proud to be Chair of a group that cares so much and works so hard on behalf of our College. As a member of the Keystone community, your continued support is essential. I ask you to help us build upon our numerous accomplishments. The Keystone students of today and tomorrow will be the beneficiaries of your commitment. As always, thank you for your support of Keystone College. Sincerely, Harry E. Dowling ’69 Chair Board of Trustees
Summer Undergraduate Research Program Summer is usually a time for teenagers to kick back, relax, and enjoy their time away from school. This wasn’t the case for a group of nine ambitious students who participated in Keystone’s Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE). Under the direction of Vicki Stanavitch ’92, biology/chemistry instructor and laboratory supervisor, current or recently graduated high school students worked with Keystone students on a college-level research project. The eight week, intensive program required approximately 30 hours per week, Family Day More than 280 parents and extended family members visited campus for Family Day in September. Everyone enjoyed a beautiful fall day and participated in a variety of events, including panel discussions on student life, athletic events, and family activities. Mark your calendar now for next year’s Family Day, Saturday, September 24, 2011. Race for the Cure Keystonians were well represented among the 10,000 individuals dressed in shades of pink and white during Scranton’s 2010 Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. Students, faculty, and staff, participated in the 3.2-mile race/walk in memory of Dayna Roberts, a Keystone student who was taken from us too soon in December 2009. Dayna’s parents, George and Lorrie Roberts, organized the race team, “Remembering Dayna,” and family and friends, as well as members of the Keystone community, gathered to celebrate including both laboratory and library research components. “Not every college student gets a chance to do this type of research, let alone most high school students,” Vicki said. “Here, the students are actually working with me on my own research, gaining useful lab experience. The program introduces students to the process of discovery and to a college campus environment, and encourages students to pursue studies and careers in the sciences.” For more information on SURE, visit Keystone’s web site at www.keystone.edu/ sure. Parents of Keystone students can rely on a new and valuable resource, the Keystone College Parents Association. The Parents Association offers an excellent opportunity for parents and families to stay connected, support student success, and advance the mission of the College. her memory and support the cause that meant so much to her. “It was heartwarming to see so any come out in remembrance of Dayna,” said Lorrie, an accounts payable specialist here at Keystone. “Dayna certainly touched many during her time with us.” In addition to the walkers, the Keystone College cheerleaders were also on hand. The squad performed at a pep rally prior to the event and also along the race route. High school students Cecilia Strauch and Myranda Myers participate in college-level research as part of Keystone’s SURE program.
