Women at Stevens
S

ince the school year has started the
Women's Center has been busy with
various activities to support the young women
on campus and build community among
all women on campus whether students,
staff or faculty and also in our Lancaster
community. We've hosted events such as our

"three orientation meetings in three weeks"
working with our Mrs. Ginene McDowell
our Girls Dorm Advisor, supported the first
WITT "Women in Trades and Technology
meeting" under the direction of Mrs. Jo
Tyndall our Plumbing Instructor, hosted
two Girl Scouts events, providing space for
their Leadership and STEM days, and now
are hosting and collaborating meetings to
plan for "Lancaster's International Women's
Day" event to be held on Saturday March
10th on campus.

Our Women's Orientation Meetings strive to
make sure all young women are comfortable
on campus. Through these three meetings we
get to know each other, get to know various
female staff and faculty on campus, and
coordinate upcoming events through input
received from our students.
Our first WITT meeting was
a jewelry making class under
the direction of Mrs. Lindy
Malin. We see Mrs. Malin
on campus supporting such
workshops as our Tech Gyrls
Camp in the summer. Mrs.
Malin is also the wife of Mr.
Philip Malin who teaches a
psychology class and works
in our Tutoring Center. We
had a blast making jewelry that night in the
Women's Center and in fact had a follow-up
group the following week because of the level
of interest from our students.

And now we have begun our planning for
Lancaster's International Women's Day
Event which will be held on our campus
on March 10th, 2018. For this event we
are collaborating with Mrs. Jen Knepper
who is known for coordinating Lancaster's
"Gifts That Give" project each year at the
Farm and Home Center in December. The
purpose of International Women's Day
is to celebrate women in our community
through workshops, craft vendors, various
services and displays that support women.
We will also have a variety of food vendors
on campus that day. And while the event
is geared toward women it is open to any
person in the community and is free.
Our goal with all these events for women
on campus and in the community is to keep
building relationships and collaborations
not only for the women, but also for the
community of Lancaster, and for Thaddeus
Stevens College.

In our community of Lancaster we are
building support by hosting such events as
the Girl Scouts' Leadership training and also
their recent STEM event titled, "It's Electric".
Approximately 40 people attended each
event.

A Fresh Look
T

he College recently concluded a months-long research study involving
students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, K-12 educators and corporate leaders.
From the many insights and stories you shared, we were able to see the common
thread that defines the Thaddeus Stevens College community as being purposeful
in everything we do.
Thaddeus Stevens College is purposeful.
So that's the story we plan to tell. We're updating our look and introducing a new
tagline to convey that Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology is a place where,
together, we:
Prepare for work. Prepare for life.
It's an exciting time of growth and opportunity at Stevens. We hope all of you will
be a part of our next chapter.
