Many members of the Class of 2025 arrived earlier this month, but on Saturday, Aug. 21 the full class was on campus.
On Thursday, College welcomed the newest members of the College community, an outstanding group of first-year, transfer and international students at Opening Convocation in the William A. Passavant Memorial Center. As is the tradition, the new students walked up Brother Martin’s Walk marking the beginning of their academic journey at Thiel, a walk they will repeat when they graduate from Thiel.
New graduate students attended Opening Convocation for the first time and joined in welcoming the new undergraduates.
The First-Year Student food drive has been a wonderful success. So far nearly 5,500 pounds of food was collected. This is almost half a ton more than was collected in 2019, but is still a little short of the goal of 6,000 pounds.
Anyone who wants to help the College reach its goal can contribute a few cans or other non-perishable items can be left in the truck bed of Associate Academic Dean for Student Success and Professor of Neuroscience Greg Butcher, Ph.D. His gray Silverado will be parked behind the Greenville Hall Friday morning. It will have a Thiel flag hanging from it.
For more information, contact Butcher.
The widow of Professor Emeritus of Environmental Science Henry Barton, D.A. is hosting a celebration of life event at 3 p.m. Sept. 18 in the Lutheran Heritage Room. Barton taught at Thiel College from 1979 to 2011 and passed away on September 21, 2020.
Anyone interested in attending should contact Monica Adametz for contact information to RSVP to Donna Barton.

Help Wanted
Given the need to temporarily house some students off-campus as a result of the delays with our residence hall projects, the College is looking to hire individuals to shuttle students to and from campus for classes and other activities. Both off-campus locations are within a couple of miles from campus. Drivers will use a College vehicle and be compensated at an hourly rate, and we need drivers for hours within the 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. range (Monday through Friday) and a smaller range on weekends (potentially through the month of September). This opportunity is open to employees interested in making extra money outside their normal hours, students, or community members.
If anyone is interested and/or knows of others who might be interested in driving for us, please contact Monica Adametz at ext. 2240 for more information. We could use drivers who can work as many as 40 hours per week, or as little as a few hours per week.
