Former Branch Manager of PNC Bank in Meadville, Pa. Sandy Parker ’82 was the guest speaker for the Ruth A. Miller Senior Seminar on March 13, 2019. Parker spoke to the students about finding their voices, leading in their field and being resilient in the face of any difficulties they may face in the workforce and in life.
“Sandy Parker was a joy to hear from. I was grateful for the opportunity to participate in one of her mock interviews and it helped me a lot. I cannot say enough about her caringness and help she gives to Thiel College. As for her talk on Wednesday the 13th of March, it was very insightful and inspirational.”—Dalton DuBrosky ’19
“The main entrée was a short rib with a stir fry and broccoli and for dessert, three different chocolate sponge rolls. Everything was quite delicious, and I am sure Sandy was impressed by Diana asking her as to what her favorite foods are.”—Gino Russo ’19
“She became a great manager and gave great tips to students on how to manage people like not showing weakness and people’s perception may never change. Sandy Parker also left everyone with a very essential statement, Find your voice!”—Paul Wotus ’19
“She was so successful with her work, Sandy was one of seven employees in all of the PNC workforce to receive the performance award. With this award, Sandy and her family were treated to an extravagant weekend. This included her father being able to ride in a limo for the first time, take advantage of free dining, and was able to meet his idol, Arnold Palmer. Seeing her father have a great time was much more rewarding to Sandy than actually receiving the award.”—Zach Stiglitz ’19
“Throughout her speech, she emphasized the importance of people; particularly, to be kind to your employees and to show them you care. We learned valuable lessons about how to lead, and how to achieve great things in the face of adversity.”—Terri Eddy ’19
“On Wednesday, March 13th, I was given the opportunity to be the captain for the dinner of a marvelous woman, Mrs. Sandy Parker. From Meadville, PA, a graduate of Saegertown High School and Thiel College, life had its journey for her, but she was able to find herself through it all at Thiel and found the man she loved at Thiel as well.”—Diana Sileshi ’19
