2 — Indiana Gazette IUP Homecoming Supplement, Thursday, October 4, 2012
Dear friends,
■ Gear up for the weekend with our
schedule of events./Page 5
■ Don’t let the parade go by without
you./Page 4
My wife, Becky, and I are truly looking
forward to our first IUP Homecoming
celebration. On behalf of IUP’s alumni,
employees, students and friends, I invite all members of the Indiana community to join us at the many events
planned for this very special weekend.
Members of the IUP family have
shared with me fond memories of
homecomings past.
Some recall the colorful, creative parade floats. Others remember meeting
friends at the Capitol or the Dairy Dell,
watching or marching in the homecoming parade and cheering on the
IUP football team. There is a common
theme within all of these sentiments —
a true pride in IUP and an excitement in
reconnecting with old friends and
classmates.
On a beautiful homecoming day, you
can see as many as 20,000 people line
Philadelphia Street to watch the parade. Many community members have
told me that going to the parade with
their friends and family, particularly
their children and grandchildren, is a
treasured family tradition — one that
brings adult children “home” for the
weekend. That is exactly as it should
be.
Again this year, the pregame celebration and reunion events will be held in
the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic
Complex. The pregame celebration,
which includes reunions of more than
20 different groups, ranging from
sports teams to academic depart-
ments, is open to all of our alumni and
friends.
And, for the first time, the Kovalchick
Complex will host the traditional Kidz
Karnival, offered by our IUP Ambassadors student group.
This year’s homecoming parade includes talented local marching bands,
including IUP’s own “Legend,” and
spectacular floats depicting this year’s
theme, “Comics.” After the parade, I
hope you will help us to cheer the
Crimson Hawks on to victory against
Slippery Rock at 2 p.m. in Miller Stadium.
Weekend events will conclude with
the traditional homecoming concert on
Sunday at 3 p.m. in the IUP Performing
Arts Center’s Fisher Auditorium.
IUP is fiercely proud of its alumni, its
history, its traditions and its home
community. We look forward to celebrating with you this weekend.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael A. Driscoll

Students, community get together for a cause
Designed in all shapes, sizes, colors and themes, bras decorated by
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
students and members of the
community will again be on display throughout October to raise
donations for Bras for the Cause.
Sponsored by the Indiana Business and Professional Women’s
Club, with assistance from the IUP
chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha, Bras for
the Cause is a fundraiser that benefits Birdie’s Closet at Indiana Regional Medical Center, a project
that enhances survivorship and offers supplies to cancer patients to
help them with appearance-related side effects of treatments, and
the BPW scholarship fund for area
high school students.
“OUR FRATERNITIES and sororities do a lot of community
service and are committed to local and national events.”
Betsy Sarneso,
BPW and assistant director of the Center for Student Life
“The club learned that other
communities across the country
were doing Bras for the Cause, and
we thought it was something we
could do here,” said Betsy Sarneso,
a member of BPW and assistant director of the Center for Student
Life, Student Leadership and
Greek Life at IUP.
In its fourth year, the bras kicked
off their tour Monday at IUP’s Stapleton Library, where they were
displayed through Wednesday.
While on campus, ZTA helped to
host the bras, which connected the

sorority with its national philanthropy of breast cancer education
and awareness.
In addition to community members and ZTA’s participation, Sarneso said many campus sororities
and student organizations submit
bra entries.
“The students get so creative
with these bras, and they have a
blast,” Sarneso said. “I think they
are really invested in the event, because whether it is a member of a
sorority or student group, cancer
affects many of our lives.
“Our fraternities and sororities
do a lot of community service and
are committed to local and national events. Their involvement is just
incredible, and it’s never-ending,”
she said.
The cause will also be represented during IUP’s homecoming parade, with a “Wonder Woman” bra
car. Sarneso said information on
breast cancer awareness will be
passed out.
Continuing their tour, the bras
will be showcased today through
Oct. 19 at Lucy Rae in downtown
Indiana, Oct. 20 and 21 at the Indiana Mall’s center court, and finally,
upstairs at The Coney on Oct. 25 at
the Awards Gala and Bra Auction.
While on display, community
members are encouraged to vote
for their favorite bras with monetary donations.

Dance party looking to fill a positive need
By HEATHER BLAKE
hblake@indianagazette.net
IUP students who are looking for
a fun and safe alternative to the
usual partying events that come
along with IUP homecoming
weekend need look no further
than the Homecoming Dance
Party.
The dance will hopefully be an
even bigger success than last
year’s, said Kate Linder, associate
dean of students and director of
the Center for Student Life at IUP,
which is sponsoring the event.
The homecoming dance last
year attracted approximately 300
students and included a glow
party.
There won’t be a glow party this
year, she said, but a variety of con-
“OUR HOPE and goal at the Center for Student Life is that
it will become a tradition for our students.”
Kate Linder,
associate dean of students and director
of the Center for Student Life at IUP
temporary music will be provided
by DJ Jim Deglau from Absolute
Sound. Food catered by Aramark
and non-alcoholic beverages will
also be available.
“This is a non-alcoholic alternative to other homecoming choices,” Linder said. “We’re really encouraging students to bring a
guest and to come and plan to
dance the night away.”
Last year’s dance was sponsored
by the student affairs division in
conjunction with multiple student
affairs departments, and planning
was done in a lot shorter time, Linder said. Planning for this year’s
dance has been taking place since
early summer.
“The planning last year was
made much closer to the (homecoming) weekend,” Linder said. “It
seemed to fill a positive need for
students, and so we’re hoping that
having that much more time to advertise will encourage even greater
participation by our students and
their guests.”
The majority of the planning
within the student life center was
led by developmental studies professor Amber Racchini. “She provided the primary leadership
throughout the summer for it,”
Linder said.
The dance will be held from 9:30
p.m. Saturday until 1:30 a.m. Sunday at the Kovalchick Convention
and Athletic Complex, but the
exact location inside the building
won’t be decided until after the
students obtain their tickets, to get
an idea how much space will be
needed.
“The KCAC has been very gracious to say, ‘We will hold a couple
of rooms of different sizes until
Oct. 1 and we can make a decision
based on how many tickets have
been distributed,’” Linder said.

She also praised the KCAC for its
“well-staffed” activities and “their
practice to hire security and have
well-structured, well-planned and
well-implemented events.”
While the event may be coming
out of the Center for Student Life,
Linder said the center also has relied on the support of and advertised with the Office of Housing,
Residential Living and Dining.
“They make special efforts to
make our residential students
aware of it,” she said. “They share
the information with their Community Assistance staff and the
Residence Hall Association. They
basically help get the word out and
help encourage attendance.”
Extensive advertising for the
dance also has been done through
The Penn, IUP’s student newspaper; the Beak, the university’s daily
email newsletter; the Housing Office’s marquee channel on IUP’s
cable system; the HUB’s marquee;
and on fliers posted throughout
campus.
Tickets are now available, for
free, to all enrolled IUP students
living on and off campus, and each
student is allowed to bring one
guest who is not an I-Card holder.
I-Cards must be present when
picking up the tickets and for admission.
“Our hope and goal at the Center
for Student Life is that it will become a tradition for our students,”
Linder said. “We wanted to offer an
alternative to other choices students might make. We wanted to
offer a supervised, fun opportunity
for students to meet and also bring
a guest to enjoy great music and
great food in a safe, monitored environment.”
Linder added that the location of
the KCAC should help to encourage students to attend the dance in
the midst of all the other activities
occurring around campus on
homecoming weekend.
“(It’s) right here on campus; it’s
right near the students,” she said.
“The students will be enjoying the
football game in the afternoon and
other activities near the KCAC
throughout the day. It’s (in the
vicinity) of everything going on.”
Funding for the Homecoming
Dance Party comes from student
activity fees, another reason Linder said she hopes students will
take advantage of the dance to
make it a permanent fixture in
what is IUP’s busiest and most
popular weekend.
“We would love to have all students attend this event,” Linder
said.

WHY SHOULD
YOU CHOOSE
IRMC
RGICARE
Michael A. Driscoll became president of IUP on July 1. Before coming to Indiana, Dr. Driscoll served
as provost and vice chancellor at
the University of Alaska Anchorage
from 2006 to 2011, adding executive to his vice chancellor title in
2011.
As the chief academic officer for
the 21,000-student multi-campus
institution, Dr. Driscoll had a hand
in academic policy and program
planning, tuition policy, operating
and capital budgets, and institutional accountability issues. He led
the university’s most recent strategic planning initiative and change
in mission.
Under his leadership, UAA centralized its health-related programs into one college to provide a
single point of contact and advising for students interested in
health majors, to strengthen curriculum, to foster interdisciplinary
faculty research and to advance
the university as the state’s premier health university.
He also worked with university
and University of Alaska System
colleagues to implement the Regents Engineering Expansion Initiative, which is doubling the number of undergraduate engineering
degrees awarded within the system and resulted in increased state
appropriations for more personnel
and new construction at UAA.
Driscoll assisted the UAA development staff to garner UAA’s
largest-ever corporate gift, $15
million from ConocoPhillips to
name the university’s new integrated science building and to establish an arctic science and engineering endowment.
He earned his B.S. in 1983, his
M.S. in 1985, and his Ph.D. in 1988,
all in electrical engineering from
Michigan State University.
He and his wife, Becky, are the
parents of two adult children.

IUP continues grand
marshal tradition
By IUP News Service
This year’s homecoming parade
continues a 12-year tradition that
was added in 1999: parade grand
marshals representing the 50-year
reunion class. This year will honor
the class of 1962.
“The homecoming parade is one
of the central activities of the
weekend and is one that truly
brings community and university
together,” said Mary Morgan, IUP
Alumni Affairs associate director.
“We developed the idea of the parade marshals as a way to honor
our alumni and to showcase the
long-standing and consistent support that our alumni have for their
alma mater. It is impressive to see
that 50 years or more after graduation, our alumni want to return to
IUP and are proud to be part of the
homecoming festivities.”
This year’s parade marshals are
Kathryn Rend Armstrong, Indiana;
Terry Bunton, White Township;
and Louise Bollman Kinter, Bethlehem.
Armstrong, a retired teacher, was
an elementary education major.
She was a member of Sigma Sigma
Sigma sorority.
Bunton, a social studies education major, retired after 21 years of
service in the U.S. Army, 22 years
with First Commonwealth Financial Corp. and four years as an independent contractor. He was a
member of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity.
Kinter, an elementary education
major who lived in John Sutton
Hall at IUP, was also a member and
was former president of Sigma
Sigma Sigma sorority. She was also
a member of the IUP Judicial
Board, was the sophomore class
treasurer, was a member of student government, sang with the
women’s chorus and was a cheerleader. She retired from her work
as an elementary school remedial
math teacher and instructional
support teacher. She also worked
as an adjunct professor at Moravian College, where she supervised
student teachers.
The parade marshal tradition
started in 1999 with two members
of the class of 1949, both of Indiana: Sam Furgiuele and the late
Bob Warren. Both men were retired faculty from IUP and
achieved the rank of faculty emeritus.
At First Commonwealth Bank®, we are happy
to welcome home IUP alumni, family and friends for the
2012 Homecoming weekend.
There’s no place like home.
