Former Professor of Art and Curator Emeritus Richard Hayes taught at Thiel College from 1958 to 1980. He is 94 and lives at St. Paul’s Continuing Care Community. His son Matt Hayes and his wife, MaryKay Hayes were visiting from Georgia. They brought Professor Hayes to campus on May 22. He was one of the founders of Friends of Art. He toured the Friends of Art Lounge and the Sawhill-Georgian Room and met with former student and Professor of Economics and Business Administration and Norman P. Mortensen Chair of Economics David Miller ’61.
The campus community got updates on the progress of two major projects last week. Faculty and staff toured the science connector facility on May 17. On May 18, they got a look at the track and field complex and the improvements made to the Paul Bush ’66 Memorial Fitness Center.
The science connector and track and field projects will be dedicated at Homecoming 2017, which is Oct. 13-15. The fitness center is open and in use.
Professor of Business Administration and Accounting and Department Chair Gary Witosky ’79 and Associate Professor of Business Administration and Accounting Melissa Oakes ’03 gave graduating accounting majors a T-shirt to show their Tomcat pride.
The two professors take graduating accounting students out to dinner to celebrate their success and during that event, the students are presented with a gift. This year it was a T-shirt. The saying on the back was first uttered by Trevor Martin ’17 in Principles of Accounting and resurfaced in various classes over the past four years. It refers to T accounts which are a tool used in analyzing various accounting problems.
Kierstin Peabody ’21 (left) and Jessica Peters ’21 (right) won a television at the Office of Admission Spring Visit Day in April and will be rooming together this fall. The two women found each other through ZeeMee, a social networking and college search site for high school and college students.
“My entire family would like to thank the Thiel College community for your prayers and support. While we grieve the death of my sister Kristin, especially so close to the loss of my sister Lynn, we have felt surrounded by a loving, caring community. We thank each of you for all you have done.”
