The Human Resources Department would like to thank everyone who participated in the 2015 Employee Benefit and Wellness Fair on March 17. It was a great turnout! We hope you found useful information, services and activities relating to being a member of the Thiel College community.
If you have ideas for future benefit/wellness fairs, please contact a member of the Human Resources team.
It was fun to see a little competition among the departments and committees in their efforts to donate the most creative prize basket.
The generosity of the following departments/committee is greatly appreciated: Athletics, Facilities (Housekeeping & Maintenance), Library, President’s Office, Safety Committee, Student Life, The Learning Commons.
The department to receive the most votes for the favorite basket was Facilities. They had donuts delivered last Thursday compliments of Human Resources.
Following is a list of the winners:

Thiel College Director of Facilities Mike Shultz wanted to say "thank you" to everyone who helped during last Thursday's campus cleanup. It made a huge difference in the look of the sidewalks, buildings and grass.
"We realize there is still a lot of repair needed to correct the damage done over the winter, but what a great start," said Schultz. "Thank you again for all of the help!"

Last Wednesday, The Greenville VFW was on campus to help Kappa Sigma commemorate military service members with a 21-gun salute. Kappa Sigma also hosted a display of relics and memorabilia from both world wars, and Chapter brother Dustin Slomainy spoke about his experiences as a member of the United States Army during Kappa Sigma's Military Heroes Appreciation Week on campus.
The A Greater Cause Foundation was established by Kappa Sigma fraternity to support the charitable endeavors of the undergraduate chapters of the fraternity. The principal program of the A Greater Cause Foundation is Kappa Sigma’s Military Heroes Campaign.

In March, The Learning Commons initiated Extraordinary Effort Awards to recognize students for their participation in the TLC and their outstanding contribution to the pursuit of academic excellence. Keeley Criswell and Edward Kargbo are the first recipients to be honored. Criswell is a senior physics major and has served as Supplemental Instruction leader for physics and math courses for five semesters. Kargbo is a sophomore majoring in computer science who utilized TLC resources and improved his grade point average significantly in one semester.
