Thiel College served as the host site for Mercer County’s final commissioners’ town hall of 2025.

Commissioners Ann Coleman, Bill Finley and Timothy McGonigle participated in the meeting.
This was the final town hall of the year, but there is still another upcoming county-wide meeting at Thiel. A session focusing on Clean and Green tax relief for agricultural land, will be held at 2 p.m. Nov. 17 in the Sawhill Georgian Room at Thiel’s Howard Miller Student Center.

Tomcat Tributes
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).
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.
Thiel College community members who need help with communications and marketing initiatives and collateral can now request those services with a job form. The request form is available on the communications and marketing webpage or linked directly below.
For more information, email the office.
