ANNOUNCEMENTS


It’s easy to discover chapters of campus history if you look closely. The historic tablet on Schaeffer Auditorium is low key, but informative. Dedicated to Dr. Nathan S. Schaeffer, Keystone State Normal School principal for 16 years, it was a gift of the class of 1893. Schaeffer Auditorium was built in 1938. For more campus curiosities, get a copy of this summer's edition of the Tower magazine or visit www.kutztown.edu/tower

Congratulations to KU junior Heather Crawford, who has been awarded an Alpha Sigma Lambda (ASL) Scholarship for the 2011-12 Academic Year.  This is the second year in a row Kutztown University has had an ASL Scholarship winner.

The $1,600 scholarship is awarded to eight students nationally at institutions sponsoring an ASL chapter. The students must be a sophomore or above and maintain a grade point average of 3.2 or higher. Winners are selected based on a combination of scholarship, leadership, their personal statement, faculty recommendation and financial need.           

Crawford hails from Lancaster, Pa., and is majoring in psychology/clinical-counseling. 

Alpha Sigma Lambda is the National Honor Society for Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning.  The organization’s aim is to recognize the special achievements of adults who accomplish academic excellence while facing competing interests of home and work.

On Wednesday, Jun. 29, tune in for KUR's exclusive sports/talk show "The Show," with Nick Petrillo from 11 a.m. to noon.
Then at 2:45 p.m., it's "The Diversity Rest Stop" interview program, this week sitting down with local actor, celebrity impersonator, musician, artist, chef, and much much more Stewart Brodian.
