Ronnell Hunt '15: Thiel College prepared me to do what I love to do

Ronnell Hunt '15 talks about the opportunities available at Thiel College that led him to professional success in the latest alumni spotlight video series.

Hunt discusses how he decided on his major and how the Thiel College Career Development Center prepared him for the workforce. Ronnell majored in media communication and now works at television station WPXI in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Hunt said if students use every tool Thiel College offers them, "there is no way (they) won't be successful."

'Thiel' family explores campus

Bill and Dianne Thiel stopped by campus on June 19 on their way home from an inventors' expo in Pittsburgh.

The Thiels, of Sterling Heights, Mich., took a small detour to explore the campus that shares Bill's family name.

During their visit that lasted a couple hours, they met staff members, toured buildings, made a stop in the bookstore, and said they were impressed by the beautiful campus and how friendly everyone was during their stop. Bill said he did not believe he was related to Louis and Barbara Thiel, whose initial gift led to the creation of the College.
