On June 16, 12 women from the Thiel College community embarked on the second annual women’s ride, a 55-mile bike ride through the woods. This multigenerational women’s trip included students, alumnae, college staff and women from the Greenville area. Starting from Sandy Creek, continuing along the Allegheny River and Oil Creek State Park trails, the ride finished in Titusville where the riders spent the night in refurbished rail cars at The Caboose Motel.
“The opportunity to share knowledge and strengthen our bonds defined the weekend and will continue across the year,” said club president Talia O’Brien ’20.
The trip was sponsored by the Thiel College Cycling Club and was also supported by Thiel’s Student Government Association and the Mercer County Trails Association, the TCCC has more plans to bring College and community together during Peddle the Lakes (Sept. 1) and with a Homecoming ride (Sept 29).
For more information on these upcoming rides, contact O’Brien.
Grant Milne ’19 got hands-on experience in the field and in the lab this summer. The environmental science major from Portville, N.Y. is taking part in the GNC Student/Faculty Research Institute.
In May, Chinese students Zechen Huang ’20 and Hongyu He ’19 planned a dinner for St. Paul’s residents. The two traveled to Cleveland twice to purchase supplies from a large Chinese grocery store. The first time to prepare a test-run lunch May 15 and the second time to buy their menu items for the actual dinner on May 24.
St. Paul’s reimbursed the students for the food purchases. The food was delicious, but the cooking arduous—three hours both times—and each time they prepared four different main courses, along with whole-fish soup, vegetables and a light dessert. The students also decorated the dining space with Chinese lanterns.
After the dinner, the students spoke about food customs in China and in their respective provinces. They also gave some background on the dishes.
Tomcat Tributes recognize the teamwork Thiel College employees exhibit each day. Employees can nominate co-workers for recognition in four categories (Random Act of Kindness, Going the Extra Mile, Had a Great Idea, Just Because).
