Greetings to our ESU
Warriors! Welcome to the Fall/Winter 2023 edition of the Alumni Herald, which is combined with the ESU Foundation’s Annual Report. The synergy between campus news and the generous gifts of all who support our mission here at ESU gives us the opportunity to share all of this in the same publication. We trust that it will inform, enlighten, and inspire your continued support as you read about the impact ESU makes in providing affordable access to a quality education. This edition’s cover story is the perfect encapsulation of the marriage of mission and philanthropy. We are incredibly grateful for George D. ’58 and Harriet D. ’56 Hall’s commitment to ESU students for generations to come in the form of a $4 million bequest, the largest in our history. Harriet tells their story on page 6. I’m certain that you’ll be struck by their love for ESU, which will support the College of Education, Kemp Library, the Warrior Fund, and the George D. and Harriet D. Hall Endowed Scholarship. Gifts and pledges for the most recent campaign (2022-23), ”It’s In The Giving,” generated nearly $9.6 million. Scholarship awards surpassed $1.1 million, benefitting more than 700 students, and we also had a significant increase in President’s Circle giving level membership and the 1893 Society, which recognizes donors who have established an endowment fund and/or included the ESU Foundation in their estate plans. Three students are highlighted in the annual report who exemplify our very gracious scholarship recipients. We’re thankful for all of our donors who support a specific campaign, make a general fund gift, or have created or are continuing an annual or endowed scholarship. And, we look forward to adding many new donors in 2023-24 – you all make a significant difference with your investment in ESU. That investment has helped yield enrollment growth for the second consecutive year, as the addition of 1,400 first-time new undergraduate students and almost 350 transfer students has bolstered enrollment to nearly 5,500. I’m proud of the work that our faculty, academic department staff and staff members across multiple departments are doing – not only filling our classrooms and residence halls, but constructing a vehicle for life-changing and region-sustaining economic mobility. Fall 2023 included another successful Homecoming Weekend as we welcomed back nearly 2,000 to campus. Nine Warriors were recognized with Alumni Association awards, featured on page 48. Construction on the new University Center continues and is readily apparent to students and visitors as it dominates our landscape in the middle of campus. The building will be transformative for the next generations of ESU students, much as previous projects provided for our current needs at those times.

In athletics, the Warriors are on top of the PSAC’s Dixon Trophy standings through the fall season for the first time in school history. Field hockey won the PSAC championship and made its second consecutive appearance in the NCAA Division II championship game, as the Warriors were national runner-up this fall after winning the trophy in 2022. Football advanced to the NCAA Playoffs for the first time in 14 years, authoring a 9-2 regular season record, and a freshman cross country runner made history as well. As we turn the page to 2024, my family and I wish you the best for the new year. Please continue to connect with us through Alumni and Foundation events, support our students by attending speaker series, theatre productions, art exhibits, concerts, athletic competitions or any of the many other activities on-campus. Thank you for your continued support of ESU and know that all that you contribute to ESU is unbelievably appreciated. You allow us to authentically state that this is Where Warriors Belong.

LOVE STORY TO LEGACY By Sara Karnish
Harriet D. Hall ’56 and her late husband George ’58 met in Kemp Library, and became accomplished educators with a lifelong devotion to educating youth. Their commitment to education never wavered, including a historic $4 million bequest to the ESU Foundation that will benefit the university and its students for generations to come.
George Hall and Harriet Davis married on June 18, 1960, in Newton, N.J.

As a young coed studying elementary education at State Teachers College at East Stroudsburg, Harriet Davis would often stop by Kemp Library to study or read between classes. She was in the library often enough to notice a young man who always seemed to be there at the same time. “He would read The New York Times, which I thought was very impressive. I started talking to him,” Harriet recalls. Gradually, their talks moved out of the library to a tearoom across from campus called Rosie’s. Soon they were dating exclusively. The young man’s name was George D. Hall. Born in Newark, N.J, George delayed attending college to complete his military service. A proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran, George was an education major at ESU. “He was a veteran, but attending classes while I was teaching in the Walt Disney Elementary School in Tullytown, Pa.,” Harriet explained. She was not shy about asking George his intentions. “This was in 1959. He graduated and was already teaching. I came out and asked him if we were planning a future together. He thought about it and said, ‘I guess we are.’ We went from being friends to possible husband and
wife.” They were married in 1960. Their 60-year marriage was “a good partnership,” Hall recalls, one built on similar values and beliefs and a shared love of education and travel. “Whatever we embarked upon, it really worked,” she said. Born in Steubenville, Ohio, in 1934, Harriet originally planned to be a librarian; instead, she followed her mother’s example and studied elementary education, first at Ohio State and later in East Stroudsburg from where she graduated in 1956. “Mother had been a teacher but gave it up when she married my father in 1929. At this time the Depression was in full bloom,” Harriet said. “She was always talking about her experiences as a teacher in a coal mining town in southern Ohio. She was a great inspiration as to why I became a teacher. Also, in the 1950s, we didn’t have the choices kids have today. It was very limited—women were either nurses, secretaries, teachers, or homemakers. It was ordained I was going to be one of those. When I found my niche, it was the right one.” Harriet came from a working-class family. Her steelworker father found a better-paying job in a steel mill in Fairless Hills, Pa., and the family relocated. Harriet stayed in Ohio but missed her family desperately. She considered transferring to a school in Pennsylvania and discovered State Teachers College at East Stroudsburg, now East Stroudsburg University—one of 14 state schools at the time. “Something about ESU just popped out at me. I don’t know if it was because it was a small campus, or in a small town in the Poconos, but I applied and I was accepted.” She recalls, “I became an individual at ESU. At Ohio State, there were 3,000 students at orientation. I never felt like I was part of the larger picture. At ESU, I felt like I was a person and belonged there. The whole place was family-like—the professors knew you and cared about you. As a result, I was very happy there.”

One special teacher in the elementary education program was Mrs. Pauline Petersen, said Harriet. “She was a supportive mentor during my undergrad days and did much to guide in my teaching career after graduating from Rutgers University with a master’s degree in curriculum and supervision.” Harriet then became a New Jersey Helping Teacher assigned to Warren County’s superintendent of schools where she worked directly with teachers in the more rural schools. ESU always held a special place for the couple. “It has always been our feeling—there is a strong attachment to ESU. We never lost that connection,” Harriet said. George earned degrees in education from ESU in 1958 and Rutgers University. Later, the Halls moved to Connecticut and embarked on long and rewarding careers as educators. George was an educator for 31 years, serving as a middle school social studies teacher, teaching principal at an elementary school, and, along with Harriet, emeritus associate professor of education and educational psychology at Western Connecticut State University. Harriet was a supervisor as well as teacher. Proud as he was of his career in education, George was even prouder of his military service during the Korean War.

“I truly hope what we have planned will bear fruit. If our gift helps just a little bit, we couldn’t ask for a greater legacy. I hope it will help students become better teachers and better citizens. The way the world is going, we need all those kids who are going to contribute something to the world.”
“He was a great fellow, a quiet person, and very much a Marine. He believed in the value of the Marine Corps, and he practiced them his whole life,” Harriet said. “I couldn’t imagine him doing anything unethical—they were the values the Marines taught him. He was not a demonstrative person, but cool and capable.” The Halls had no biological children—their “children” were the thousands of students they taught and mentored. “I had my life as a supervisor and teacher, he had his life. We did our work together as teachers. We were very, very conservative people and started investing in 1982. We didn’t need a mansion or a great deal of money, and if he was like that, I don’t think our marriage would’ve worked,” Harriet admits. “We had no children, but we never felt badly about that. We were around children all the time. We found each other, decided it was a good match, and it was. I miss him every day.”

The Halls retired from education in the late 1980s—George in 1989 and Harriet the following year. The single biggest change in the field? Technology. “It was just coming in at the end of our professional life. It didn’t impact our teaching the youngsters or preparing our youngsters for the classroom,” Harriet recalled. “It was very traditional throughout both our careers—we had basic equipment like a projector. As soon as we left, schools started using things like email.” In 2020, George passed away suddenly at the age of 90, with Harriet by his side. Now as she looks ahead to her own 90th birthday next year, she is planning to throw herself a party. She has much to celebrate. “I think 90 is a milestone. It allows me to look around at my friends, because life is so short, and I’ve seen so many wonderful people pass away. Losing George was so sudden and so traumatic, I couldn’t believe it was happening,” she said. “It’s really important to be a good friend for as long as you have these people. I’m on a page where my attitude is, ‘I’m Harriet. How are you?’ People should be made to feel that someone cares, will give a smile and be glad to see

BEQUEST HOLDS SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT FOR ESU AND ITS STUDENTS By Sara Karnish

them. That’s what I’ll do for as many years as I have.” George’s passing forced her to take stock. She moved to a retirement community in Sun City Center, Fla., where she found a close circle of friends. Much of her time is spent on sewing projects for Dress a Girl Around the World (DAG), an initiative of the nonprofit organization Hope 4 Women International. DAG’s volunteer groups sew dresses along with a Pocket Pal (a doll in a matching dress) for girls around the world. “I don’t know what I’d do with my time if I didn’t have a purpose,” she said, adding, “There has to be a reason for me to get up in the morning, and it’s usually doing something for someone else. I have everything I need here where I live, so why not give back in some way, shape, or form, however you can?” Losing George made Harriet think about their legacy. “When George passed, I had to come to the hard realization that we had no children, so I had to find a good use of our money,” she said. It seemed logical to contribute to ESU, where it all began for her and George. It is her wish that her recent bequest to the ESU Foundation, the result of the couple’s years of careful investing, nurture the next generation of educators and help all ESU students reach their respective goals. “I truly hope what we have planned will bear fruit,” she said. “If our gift helps just a little bit, we couldn’t ask for a greater legacy. I hope it will help students become better teachers and better citizens. The way the world is going, we need all those kids who are going to contribute something to the world.”
The $4 million bequest to the ESU Foundation by Harriet D. Hall ’56 in the name of her and her late husband, George ’58, is the largest in the Foundation’s history and will have a profound impact on ESU and its students. “This gift marks a milestone for the university, as we have never been bequeathed such a significant amount. The impact within the College of Education, Kemp Library, and the Warrior Fund, as well as the contributions of the George D. and Harriet D. Hall Endowed Scholarship, will be immeasurable,” said ESU President Kenneth Long. “The Halls have a long history of supporting their alma mater and their commitment to our current and future Warriors is an inspiration to us all.” The four areas were chosen because each holds special meaning to the couple. “I feel my goals and wants are satisfied,” Hall said. “I am very impressed with Dr. Brooke Langan, dean of the College of Education. She has great ideas. It’s not an easy transition, going from high school to college, and this program is exceptionally well thought out.” Langan got to know Harriet over the past year, and said they now enjoy “an old-fashioned pen pal relationship, which is fun. She is just a really passionate woman about education.” Langan added, “One of the major pieces of our residential college is to focus on belonging and adhering to ESU’s motto of ‘Where Warriors Belong.’ In education, she understands that belonging is the foundation of all learning, and here at ESU, the residential college model really places the center of all academic, professional, and social learning in one place. For our education majors, that’s Lenape and Hawthorn Halls. All first-year education students live in the buildings, and it allows us to teach courses, organize clubs, and create a sense of belonging. Harriet’s gift will be used to help us build that community.” Richard Santoro, executive director of the ESU Foundation, said the funds will take the
already-excellent College of Education to new heights. “It will also have a far-reaching impact on every corner of the ESU campus from academics to scholarships to library resources and unrestricted support for our most urgent needs. I could not be more grateful for Harriet’s generosity, vision, and belief in the power of an ESU education.” The Halls’ love story of more than 60 years can be traced back to the Kemp Library—“That’s where it all began for us,” she recalls—and it seemed especially fitting to bequest funds to this building. It was important to Harriet to establish requirements for the scholarship, which stipulates recipients must hold a baccalaureate degree with certification in elementary education and currently be pursuing a master’s degree in elementary education. “There were things I wanted, and I know George would have agreed. There has to be something within the person that makes them want to see something better and carry it out. The requirement is that they have some supervision or leadership qualities,” Hall said. Dr. Margaret Ball, provost and vice president for academic affairs, said the gifts will have a tremendous impact on ESU and its students. “We are so thankful for this kind of support from alumni, as this funding helps us create strategic initiatives for student success.” The Halls’ story began at ESU, and Harriet’s contribution will allow countless students to write their own success stories. “Their unprecedented investment in our students reinforces the couple’s unwavering devotion to education. This gift will not only benefit our students, but all the lives they will touch after they graduate. I am beyond grateful for all they have done for ESU. Their story is one of love, caring, and enduring philanthropy. Their passion for ESU and educating Warriors fuels us to do better, to do more, and to always honor their legacy,” said Ball. esualumni.org 9

TUTORING PROGRAM GAINS HIGHEST CERTIFICATION
ESU’s Tutorial Program received the highest level of certification from the College Reading and Learning Association. The CRLA is a professional organization that sets the standards of tutoring in higher education. There are three levels of certification tutors can receive, Level I, Level II, and Level III, each requiring different number of hours of training and studying. According to a 2018 study, research found that students who receive tutoring from ESU’s Tutorial Program were more likely to continue their education at ESU and earn As and Bs in their area of study. Kelly McKenzie, Ed.D., associate professor and director of ESU’s UniversityWide Tutorial Program, emphasizes the training their tutors go through to effectively teach their students. With the help of Matthew Simmons, ESU coordinator of tutoring, the program was able to receive certification for Level III tutoring.

GRAHAM SELECTED BY ESU FOR KEEPERS OF THE FLAME AWARD ESU honored Dr. Patricia Graham, professor emerita of intercultural and interdisciplinary studies, as ESU’s recipient of the second annual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Keepers of the Flame Award from Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education.
The award recognizes an individual from each of the 14 State System university campuses for their contributions to creating and promoting diverse, equitable and inclusive environments that cultivate a sense of belonging. The award recipients were announced during PASSHE’s annual DEI Summit held at Shippensburg University. “Each recipient of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education’s Keepers of the Flame award embodies the best in humanity – demonstrating a commitment to raising awareness about important issues and advocating for ‘doing the right thing,’” said Dr. Denise Pearson, vice chancellor and chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) officer at the Office of the Chancellor. “PASSHE university communities have long understood the intersection between academic excellence, DEI and student success. This year, we are truly pleased to celebrate the contributions of Dr. Graham and the other recipients, and we lift them up as role models to emulate. It is a privilege to honor them.” Graham made substantial strides in advancing the promise of diversity, equity, and inclusion through her academic work and in the community as an ESU faculty member from 1977 to 2013. As an educator, she is dedicated to inclusive teaching practices. Her classroom was a welcoming and safe space for students of all backgrounds, fostering an environment where every student felt valued and heard. Graham also mentored numerous students, athletes, coaches and faculty, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. Her guidance, support, and advocacy propelled many of her mentees to remarkable success in their education and careers. Among her many accomplishments, Graham is renowned for her efforts to develop ESU’s scholarship program for Prince Hall Elementary School students in Philadelphia who demonstrate outstanding academic performance and strong civic engagement.

ESU ENROLLMENT SEES GROWTH FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR
East Stroudsburg University reported its second consecutive year of increased enrollment. Total enrollment for Fall 2023 is 5,463, a 6.03 percent increase over the prior year. Bolstering ESU’s enrollment is an entering class of first time new undergraduate students of 1,400 and 361 new transfer students. ESU’s student population represents 31 states and 28 different countries. “I am extremely proud of the work done by our entire campus to bring in such a successful incoming class,” said ESU President Kenneth Long. “This is credited to the collaboration of everyone on campus including faculty, academic department staff and staff members across multiple departments, including facilities management, who helped our admissions team and our engaged students and student leaders make our orientations and other programs very successful recruitment events.” ESU’s Vice President for Enrollment Management Dr. Lorna Hunter said, “The application and enrollment surge can be credited to many measures taken across the institution over recent years. These include an increase in outreach and marketing efforts to prospective students and greater access that was achieved through streamlining the application processes.” ESU also offers a variety of scholarships to help ease the financial burden. “In addition to need-based financial aid, ESU offers merit scholarships for first year and transfer students as well as Pocono Promise, an additional grant for Pell and PA state grant students,” Dr. Hunter said. “Making scholarships more accessible to students is one way of ensuring the pursuit of a college education can be attainable and affordable.” “The underlying data that comprises our student body is indicative of our mission and location,” President Long added. “44.2 percent of our undergraduate and 24.2 percent of our graduate students are underrepresented minorities. In addition, 83.1 percent of our students receive financial aid. Our primary focus is to satisfy the education needs of our region and we are enthusiastic about our continued appeal to these students and their families. They know ESU is a university that will create opportunities for them for years to come, while enriching the campus learning experience for all our students.” esualumni.org 11

ESU 2022-2023 ANNUAL REPORT AND HONOR ROLL OF DONORS
C H AI R M AN ’S MESSAGE ADAM S. STAUFFER ’00 M’02 ESU Foundation Board of Directors
In April 2023, the East Stroudsburg University Foundation held its annual scholarship dinner, a memorable celebration that brings together scholarship donors and their student recipients to meet and get to know one another. Always a packed room, the event, for me, reinforces a spirit of philanthropy within ourselves, reminding us the impact we can have on people’s lives. Fast forward to June 30th, the end of fiscal year 2022-2023, and those individual personal stories we heard from donors and students that evening escalate in scale as the ESU Foundation shared it provided 734 scholarship awards to students that year, totaling more than $1.1 million. Even greater an accomplishment, it’s the fourth consecutive year that support to student scholarship surpassed the $1million mark. The scholarship program is just a fraction of support the ESU Foundation has provided ESU and its students in fiscal year 2022-2023. I’m happy to say the Foundation secured $9,580,446 million in gifts and pledges from more than 3,200 donors, a record year in its 37-year history. It’s times like these when your generosity comes shining through and we’re reminded how truly remarkable you are. Included in this record year is also the Foundation’s largest commitment ever, a $4 million bequest from alumna Harriet Hall ’56, whose story graces the pages of this magazine. In her and her late husband George’s ’58 name, their bequest will make a significant impact on ESU and its students. We could not be more grateful!
ESU 2022-2023 ANNUAL REPORT AND HONOR ROLL OF DONORS
Also, within these pages, you’ll discover the result of your generosity in other ways. Our accomplishments in fiscal year 2022–2023 include: Fundraising events that raised money for scholarship and affinity programs, including the inaugural dinner celebration for ESU’s 14th President Kenneth Long and 10 golf tournaments for athletics and academic programs. The formal opening of the Aquaculture Lab was held as well as the Dale and Frances Hughes Foundation Community Health Education and Simulation Center. Both of these facilities offer students the best of learning experiences and shine a spotlight on ESU’s academic strengths. It’s always part of the ESU Foundation’s pledge to you to properly steward and recognize your gifts of support. This year, we’re proud to have a clean audit from our outside financial auditing team. Also, to recognize your continued support, the Foundation this fall announced the Lifetime Giving Society and the Loyalty Society, both of which you will find listed in this report. Our dedicated and loyal supporters deserve this esteemed recognition! I’d like to thank the ESU Foundation board for their efforts this year as well as the staff who worked diligently to accomplish these achievements. When everyone works together, and ESU’s alumni and friends show they care, the outcome is significant. With the greatest sincerity, thank you!

EX EC U T I V E D IR E C TO R ’S M E S SAG E RICHARD D. SANTORO Inside the 2022-2023 Annual Report and Honor Roll of Donors, you will meet Harriet Hall, a member of East Stroudsburg University’s Class of 1956. Harriet’s love and deep devotion to her alma mater resulted in a historic commitment to ESU this year – a $4 million bequest created to help ESU students become impactful teachers and active citizens. This generous legacy from Harriet and her late husband, George, inspired all of us at the Foundation and on campus. We hope her story and other notes from the year will also inspire and ignite your enthusiasm for ESU. Also in this year’s report, you will discover how the combined generosity of so many others has played a significant role in our record-breaking year to support the university and its students.
Launched Warrior Women Who Give, a women’s giving circle that brings together like-minded ESU alumnae and friends who recognize that women as donors have the capability of making a tremendous impact.
We are grateful to all those who made these great achievements possible this year:
Raised more than $9.5 million in new gifts and pledges for scholarships, facility improvements, athletics, and academic programs.
Awarded 734 scholarship awards totaling $1,109,525, ensuring that an ESU education remains affordable. Culminated two capital campaigns for facility improvements with the dedication of two academic spaces: The Dale and Frances Hughes Community Health Education and Simulation Center for nursing and athletic training, and The Aquaculture Laboratory for marine science. Celebrated the investiture of ESU’s 14th president, Ken Long, with a fundraising inauguration dinner that established the Creating Opportunities Scholarship Fund.
Moving into a new year, we will strive to ensure our alumni, friends, faculty, staff, parents, and community partners are clear that their impact is felt and seen at the University. All support transforms our students, fosters their intellectual and personal growth, and develops the skills to move successfully into careers, civic positions, and graduate education. Like Harriet and George Hall, many alumni are devoted to the institution that shaped them. We are grateful for all; and work each day to secure the future for each new generation of students.

Dale and Frances Hughes Foundation Community Health Education and Simulation Center The Dale and Frances Hughes Foundation Community Health Education and Simulation Center was unveiled on April 18, 2023. The state-of-the-art center, located in the DeNike Center for Human Services, offers simulation and inter-professional practice opportunities for East Stroudsburg University students in the College of Health Sciences and local community healthcare organizations. The center was made possible through the generosity of the following organizations:
Aquaculture Laboratory ESU’s newly renovated Aquaculture Lab opened thanks to collaborative fundraising with the ESU Foundation and a $100,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The laboratory gives students studying marine science the opportunity to develop, build, and maintain a variety of aquaculture systems, including: a Berlin reef system, a Jaubert (Monaco) system, marine ornamentals, freshwater aquatics, specialty tanks, and feeding and rearing systems. The ESU Foundation later funded signage and lettering for the entrance of the space.

YOUR GENEROSITY HAS IMPACT Not only will this scholarship allow me to finish earning my degree, but it has granted me the opportunity to play my final year of the sport I love. Basketball has been a huge part of my life since I was in kindergarten, so I am extremely thankful that I was able to play this last year at ESU and finish my athletic career. Claire Courter Class of 2023 Dr. Angelo and Mrs. Kathleen Ortenzi Women’s Basketball Annual Scholarship Stacy L. Perryman ‘97 Women’s Basketball Endowed Scholarship Norma Ritchie Women’s Basketball Endowed Scholarship
I am sincerely honored to have been selected as one of the 2022/2023 recipients of the Bruno S. Klaus Women’s Acrobatics & Tumbling Annual Scholarship. Thank you for your generosity which has allowed me to compete in a sport I only found through this school. Acrobatics & Tumbling allowed me to fall in love with fitness and find out more about myself. I was also able to see that my biology degree can be used in so many ways. Tiona Brown Class of 2023
This scholarship is important to me because this was the first scholarship that I genuinely felt connected with. Tragedy is something that I know all too much – something at points I wish that I didn’t know – but it is what contributes to me being me. I appreciate your openness with the scholarship fund and am very sorry for your loss. I would like to truly thank you for this scholarship and the help in my college career. Alexandra Vorozilchak Class of 2023
Bruno S. Klaus Women’s Acrobatics and Tumbling Annual Scholarship
Jenna Vatalaro Tragedy Fund Annual Scholarship
Thank you very much for establishing the Gary A. Kessel ‘77 Wrestling Annual Scholarship. I strive to keep my grades up at the same time as working hard on the mat to keep getting better as a wrestler. Receiving this scholarship not only helps me financially but also gives me that added boost to keep being the best I can be. Zachary Lewis Class of 2024
Receiving this scholarship is really important to me. It affirms that I am doing well in ESU’s criminal justice program. As a student who has to pay for college on their own, it also helps provide me with some financial relief. Caitlyn Clarke Class of 2023

Ignasi Cucurella, Class of 2024 Aysha Begum International Student Annual Scholarship Class of 1937 Endowed Scholarship, Class of 1945 Endowed Scholarship The scholarships I’ve been fortunate to receive have truly transformed my educational journey at ESU. First and foremost, they have provided a vital release from the financial pressures often accompanying higher education. This relief has allowed me to focus on my studies, excel in my athletics campaign, and engage actively in the vibrant ESU community. The scholarships’ financial support has been the cornerstone that enables me to pursue a well-rounded and immersive college experience.
Majoring in Health and Physical Education ESU Men’s Soccer
These scholarships have opened a gateway to a realm of opportunities that I might not have otherwise accessed. Connecting with esteemed professors and accomplished peers within my field has been an eye-opening experience. These connections have expanded my horizons, enriched my understanding, and motivated me to push the boundaries of my academic pursuits. The exposure to diverse perspectives and insights has been invaluable in shaping my educational path. Equally significant, the recognition accompanying these scholarships has ignited a relentless sense of pride and determination within me. Acknowledging my hard work and dedication is a constant reminder of the heights I can achieve. In essence, these scholarships have gone beyond financial support—they have catalyzed personal and academic growth. They have empowered me to embrace every aspect of my journey, fostering a profound impact that reaches far beyond the classroom.
John Winward, Class of 2023 Charles T. ‘84 M’86 and Teresa M. Taylor Endowed Scholarship The scholarship I received has had a great impact on my success at East Stroudsburg University. Not only does it help cover the cost of college, but it gives me the confidence to continue doing what I do here. Being selected for a scholarship shows me that I’m doing great things during my education and that I’m being recognized for it. I was happy to receive the Charles T. ‘84 M’86 and Teresa M. Taylor Endowed Scholarship in 2021 and 2022, and I have pushed myself to do as well as I can to not let the scholarship donors down.
President of ESU’s Computer Science Organization in 2022–2023 and Member since Fall 2020
I have maintained Dean’s List for all my semesters here, I ran for president of the Computer Science Organization in 2022 and won, and I continue to learn as much as I can from my classes to ensure I succeed in the world beyond ESU.
Member of Esports club in 2021–2022, played competitive Overwatch
Leading my club gave me a chance to help students in my major and make connections that will last after we all graduate. If I didn’t have the confidence or motivation, I would have never pushed myself to run for president. I believe that scholarships are the reason why I have this confidence and motivation, in addition to having less to pay in loans when I move on to my career.

Danielle M. Nightlinger, Class of 2024 George D. ’58 and Harriet D. ’56 Hall Graduate Annual and Endowed Scholarships The scholarship has allowed me to stay independent and continue to pursue my passion in teaching. As a graduate student I am living on my own with bills and responsibilities that I did not have as an undergraduate. This scholarship has taken some weight off my shoulders for those responsibilities and allowed me to focus more on student teaching and learning to become the best educator I can be. The scholarship also reminds me that I am on the right path and it’s never too late to go back to school and learn something new.

the Warriors secured their fourth PSAC championship with an instant classic, 1-0, double-overtime victory over Shippensburg at Whitenight Field. Junior midfielder Jady van Gills was tabbed the tournament's MVP after scoring the game-winning goal with 2:04 remaining on the clock.
Under the direction of Sandy Miller M’88, who recorded her 497th career win in her 39th season to move into third on the DII career victories list,
ESU entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed for the second straight year and defeated Assumption, 3-0, in the semifinals before falling 2-1 to Kutztown in the championship game.

FOOTBALL RETURNS TO NCAA PLAYOFFS FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2009 After a 9-2 regular season that ended with a thrilling 37-30 win over California (Pa.), the Warriors were selected for the NCAA Division II Playoffs for the first time since 2009 and the fifth time in program history. The Warriors fell at Slippery Rock in their first round matchup after posting the ninth season with at least nine wins in program history, a five-win improvement from 2022 and the biggest jump since going from 3-6 to 9-2 spanning the 2007 and 2008 seasons.

MEN’S, WOMEN’S SOCCER POST WINNING RECORDS UNDER FAMILIAR FACES AS BERKOWITZ STEPS DOWN
Longtime women’s soccer assistant coach Meagan DeWan and former men’s soccer assistant Tom Mustac ’03 M’09 were named head coaches of their respective programs as Rob Berkowitz stepped down prior to the season to pursue other endeavors. Berkowitz remained on staff as volunteer assistant coach for both programs this fall. Berkowitz led the Warriors to five PSAC championships and eight NCAA Tournament appearances during his time at the helm of the women's program (2007-22) and men's program (2011-22). As women's head coach, he boasted a 182-95-30 record over 15 seasons. ESU was the first PSAC women's soccer program to win four straight conference championships from 2014-17 and went to the NCAA Tournament in 2008 and then six straight seasons from 2014-19. As men's head coach, he totaled a record of 78-95-22 over 10 seasons and won the PSAC title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2017. "I am grateful to Rob for his dedication to both our men's and women's soccer programs over the years," said Dr. Allen Snook, director of athletics. "Rob has made a lasting impact on our soccer programs and athletic department. I want to thank him for his leadership, commitment, and professionalism as our head soccer coach at ESU."
DeWan served assistant coach for the past 11 seasons, helping the Warriors to six NCAA Tournaments and four of the six PSAC championships in program history. Mustac was named the men’s interim head coach and rejoins the Warriors after serving as an assistant to both Berkowitz and legendary head coach Jerry Sheska ’68 M’81 for five seasons from 2009-14.

EILER-MARTIN STADIUM, WHITENIGHT FIELD RECEIVE UPGRADES
Eiler-Martin Stadium and Whitenight Field both received upgrades this fall, with Daktronics Videoboards at both facilities and new Musco SportsCluster® System Total Light Control™ TLC-LED fixture lights at the stadium. The Eiler-Martin Stadium light upgrades feature regional broadcast quality lighting with the ability to showcase Show-Light Special Effects® to help create an unforgettable stadium experience whenever a Warrior team scores a touchdown or goal. Both Daktronics videoboards at Eiler-Martin Stadium and Whitenight Field feature 10-millimeter pixel spacing to deliver crisp clear imagery. The displays are capable of content zoning, to show one large or multiple divided zones to showcase video, stats, graphics, sponsorships or special messages.
“The upgrades will benefit not just our student-athletes and campus community but also members of the public who use the fields for activities ranging from Special Olympics to athletics camps to a high school track and field invitational,” said ESU President Kenneth Long. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, our outdoor facilities found a renewed purpose as they became places for our community to safely gather for large university events and even celebrate Commencement. These enhancements will give us more opportunities for gatherings and allow athletes of all ages and abilities the chance to play like a Warrior.” The Show-Light Special Effects shows off pre-programmed theatrical lighting effects applied to facility lighting design, along with light show programming that can be synced to licensed music. Additionally, the lights have been installed with BallTracker® technology, with targeted light that optimizes the visibility of the football or soccer ball in play with no glare in the athletes’ line-of-sight. All four teams enjoyed their new upgraded facilities this fall, with the field hockey (10-1) football (6-0), men’s soccer (4-1-4) and women’s soccer (5-1-2) programs combining for a 25-3-6 home record for an .824 winning percentage.
Sophomore Anna Coulter and senior Makayla Baca delivered major endof-season awards as ESU’s women’s volleyball team went 22-7 overall, 13-1 in the PSAC East, and shared the division’s top regular season record.
The Warriors won 17 straight matches from September 16 through November 4 and reached the PSAC semifinals for the fourth straight year. The team also held its third annual Soles4Souls Shoe Drive, collecting over 750 pairs of shoes.
Coulter was named PSAC East Athlete of the Year, the fourth athlete to earn the honor in program history, and has been named first team All-PSAC East in both of her first two seasons. She led the PSAC and ranked 11th in DII in hitting percentage (.407). Baca earned PSAC East Defensive Athlete of the Year accolades, helping the Warriors lead the PSAC and rank in the top 20 nationally in both digs per set (17.8) and opponents hitting percentage (.133).
Junior Taylor Haan joined Baca and Coulter on the All-PSAC East first team, giving ESU three first team nods for the first time since 2000. Senior Kaylee LoPresto was named to the second team for the second straight year.

WE ASKED, YOU ANSWERED! Last edition, we ran this photo in FlashBack seeking any information you might have on it. Thank you to the following alumni for their feedback: Thank for including this photo in Alumni Herald. It was a peace rally/sing-a-long, against Vietnam War. Playing the guitar is Tom Mann. Behind Tom, upper left, glasses, is Theodore “Ted” Fish. Guy with dark hair, holding paper is Ken “Stahl.” I know some of the other men, none of the women. I technically graduated in 1970, but had finished in 1969 and was in grad school at University of Delaware when this photo was taken. I was active in anti-war movement at ESSC. Interesting, somewhat tumultuous times at our alma mater. - Don Mathis ‘70
I was a sophomore at ESSC in 1970. Looking at the picture on the back inside cover of the latest Alumni Herald I'm guessing that it was just one of the many student sit-ins protesting any of a variety of situations the country was going through in the late 60s and early 70s. The ESSC student union building was always the go to place for these things. I recall sit ins protesting the Vietnam War and the National Guard killing four students at Kent State University in May 1970. There was standing room only as everyone watched the '69 Mets win the World Series followed by the Jets Super Bowl win. And who can forget Woodstock which occurred around that time? The late 60s were possibly the most turbulent time in America. The picture is a group protesting the Vietnam War. I am pretty sure that is me, third person on the left, in the top row. - Pamela Bazar McCutcheon ’73 I can give you more information on the picture since I was there, somewhere in the larger version of the picture. It was taken outside the lower door of the old cafeteria, which is now where the new student center is being constructed. The guitarist is Thomas Mann. I believe it was on the first Earth Day. - Rita M. Plotnicki '72
