After careful consideration of the current public health information and guidance, the decision was made to adjust the Spring 2022 schedule and undergraduate arrival. The following communication was recently sent to students regarding the changes.
As an added precaution, the College encourages faculty and staff to also “lay low” as much as possible over the next week and a half. It is recommended that larger group meetings be conducted via Zoom or Teams during this time. All other health and safety protocols remain in place (proper masking, etc.).
Employees are urged to get the booster shot if it has been at least six months from the completion of the last vaccination. Employees who are not vaccinated should consult with their medical provider about the importance of the vaccine to lessen the impact of the virus.
Walberg Family Pharmacy will be on campus in the William A. Passavant Memorial Center from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 7. They will be offering first and second doses and booster doses. Pre-registration is highly encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome. For more information and to register visit their website at Walberg Family Pharmacies.
The Wellness Committee is sponsoring a 50/50 Employee Wellness Challenge.
To enter, select a specific goal and commit to working on this goal over the course of a 6-week period, beginning January 24 and ending March 4. An entrance fee of $20 along with the completed bottom portion of the form can be returned to Jackie Kytchak in the Student Life Office.
A winner will be randomly selected from all the participants at the completion of the 6-week challenge period. The winner will receive half of the money collected, and the other half of the money will benefit the American Heart Association.
Wellness goals can be related to physical health, emotional health, fitness, or nutrition. Here are some examples of goals, but feel free to create your own:

Communications collateral
Employees should update the logos used on institutional materials, including email signatures, letterhead, PowerPoint slides, etc.
Thiel College has used the shield and wordmark combination as the official institutional logo for more than a year. They are the only approved logo for academic co-curricular and institutional use. Additional athletic logo packages are also available.
Email signatures, brand resources, and a job request form are all available online. A Dropbox folder has been set up with instructions and the materials necessary to create new email signatures. Employees can find other Thiel College-branded resources including letterhead, logos and PowerPoint slides in the same folder.
