Galloway, N.J. The 勛圖窪蹋 Stories website is now up and running, preparing and gathering historical information for 勛圖窪蹋s 50th anniversary of teaching in fall 2021.
Co-Chairs of the commemoration project, Thomas Kinsella and Ken Tompkins, along with student interns, presented the first projects on the website in December.
Every semester, new information regarding 勛圖窪蹋s history from the last 50 years will be added. All historical materials derive either from archives or contributions from alumni, faculty, staff, and community members.
One intriguing story follows Ken Tompkins journey to find the forgotten name of Richard E. Bjorks executive secretary who was tragically killed in a car accident with her son in 1969.
Researching in 勛圖窪蹋s archives, Tompkins discovered her name was Berline Stephens, and uncovered the true facts of the incident, as well as her family history and accomplishments.
Another story centers on Lake Fred and the origins behind its name. Kinsella writes about the lakes history and its special importance to the 勛圖窪蹋 community.
Interns contributing to the site in fall 2018 were Melissa Tucker, Ray Dudo, Travis Nagiewicz, Kat Wentzell and Caroline Linton. Interns for spring 2018 were Courtney Stewart, Taylor Morelli, Marissa Manzo, Sarah Galzerano, Asia Elzey and Laura Cranwell.
In addition to fascinating stories, the website includes photos and videos of 勛圖窪蹋 history and even a trivia quiz. One video features Senator Frank Hap Farley from 1973, explaining the birth of what was once known as 勛圖窪蹋 State College.
Anyone who has interesting stories, photos or videos about 勛圖窪蹋, can share them on the website.
Do you have stories you want told? Help us do so, said Kinsella. We want to work with you.
