Vocation: Community Volunteer Involvement Specialist with the American Cancer Society “Led by student Jennifer Myhre ’08, the Messiah College community completed their first annual American Cancer Society Relay For Life this past May. This 12-hour event raised over $40,000 and displayed the heart, mission, and generosity of the people of this college. As a community involvement specialist with the American Cancer Society, I am honored to have organized this event and proud to call myself an alumna of Messiah College.” 17. MATTHEW SCHWARTZ Class Year: 1996 Hometown: Lititz, Pa. Vocation: Health and Physical Educator; awardwinning Boys Soccer Coach, Manheim Central High School “I appreciate the family atmosphere that surrounds the men’s soccer program [at Messiah]. Throughout my four years it was evident that our team didn’t just consist of the 20-plus players on the actual roster. . . . And now, even though it’s more than 10 years since I stepped on the field as a player, I still feel a part of the action while sitting in the stands. Thanks, Coach Shoemaker and Coach Brandt, for the impressions you have stamped on the program and for all the Falcon ‘brothers’ in my life.” 18. WINSTON SEEGOBIN Hometown: Dillsburg, Pa. Vocation: Professor of Psychology “Along with the opportunity to fulfill my passion for teaching, counseling, and research, I am grateful for the privilege to mentor students from underrepresented groups, to see them blossom and flourish as they pursue standards of excellence in their vocation.” 17 11 14 16 ing that one could be successfully involved in the academic world and also be a thoroughly evangelical Christian. I had great interest in the subjects that I taught and perhaps a greater interest in my students.” 11. REBECCA GAMBLER Class year: 1999 Hometown: Born/raised in Mohrsville, Pa.; currently resides in Washington, D.C. Vocation: Senior Analyst for the U.S. Government Accountability Office “One of the most enjoyable and rewarding aspects of my time at Messiah College was the opportunity I had to interact with and get to know my professors, particularly those in the Department of Politics. Messiah’s politics professors served as mentors to me, and their encouragement and guidance were very instrumental in helping me pursue my graduate studies and foster my interest in government service.” 12. JENNIFER MYHRE Class Year: 2008 Hometown: Montclair, Va. Majors: Sport Management and Accounting “Whether in the sport management or accounting classrooms, on service trips, on Shoemaker Field, or abroad, I have cherished the fellowship with faculty and other students. From these experiences, I have developed an understanding that sports are not only a game; they are a lifelong journey, which allows me to live out my faith through my profession, instilling in others that ‘physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things to come’ (I Timothy 4:8).” 13. ANDREW SAMUEL Class Year: 1984 Hometown: Dillsburg, Pa. Vocation: Banker, Chairman and CEO, Graystone Financial Corp. “Where would I be without Messiah College?

KRIS HANSEN-KIEFFER Hometown: Aurora, Neb. Vocation: Vice Provost/Dean of Students “I love walking alongside students as they travel the journey of self-discovery through college — discovering more of whom God created them to be. Inevitably, their journey impacts my journey and I am changed because of this.” 15. ELIZABETH IMBODEN Class Year: 1990 Hometown: Mechanicsburg, Pa. Vocation: Pediatrician for York Pediatric Medicine “Messiah College provided an environment that fostered both my spiritual and intellectual growth. I especially value the friendships I developed during those years which have continued to be a blessing and source of support.” The 2007 President’s Report is printed on recycled paper. 50/25 PCW EFC When you are finished with this publication, please share or recycle it. http://www.messiah.edu/community/connection/pdf/fall05.pdf http://www.messiah.edu/departments/hhp/ http://www.messiah.edu/athletics/mens_soccer/ http://www.messiah.edu/departments/business/programs/accounting.html http://www.messiah.edu/departments/hhp/majors/sport_management.html http://www.messiah.edu/offices/student_affairs/staff.html#ViceP http://www.messiah.edu/departments/psychology/ http://www.messiah.edu/departments/politics/ http://www.messiah.edu/offices/publications/the_bridge/winter07/fsc/index.html
