  • College Benefactor Richard Ziegler: More Than Meets the Eye
    Vol. Vol.18 • 17No. • 2No. 2 SpringWinter 20062005 CurrentsPenn State Harrisburg Alumni Magazine College Benefactor Richard Ziegler: More than Meets the Eye Currents • penn state harrisburg alumni magazine Welcome to Currents GreetingsWelcome to the Spring 2006from issue of Currents,the yourChancellor… Penn State Harrisburg alumni magazine. The end of the academic year is a time at which we pause to acknowledge the achievements of students, faculty, staff, and alumni. It also marks a period of transition, as new graduates stand ready to meet the challenges of professional life, while retiring faculty and staff prepare for life after the rigors of the daily workplace. At commencement ceremonies in May 2006, Penn State Harrisburg conferred some 600 degrees, and another nearly 600 degrees a few months earlier at ceremonies in December 2005. These numbers are particularly significant as we celebrate the college’s 40th anniversary this year. Penn State Harrisburg’s first graduating class, those students who began when the campus opened in 1966 and graduated in 1968, included 12 students. Clearly, the idea for a campus in the capital city four decades ago has proven to be a good one. The proof? The nearly 32,000 graduates Penn State Harrisburg, the Capital College, has added to the University alumni roster. Our April 18 Donor Recognition Dinner recognized those whose philanthropy helps students either directly through scholarships, or indirectly through the donation of resources to enhance campus programs and facilities. This spring we also honored faculty and staff members with awards for outstanding achievement and leadership in the areas of diversity, service, teaching, research, and scholarship.
