SREY 8 August, 1990 — LION’S EYE — Page 3 - Tammy Zampogna Named New Activities Coordinator by Jill Rhodes There’s a new face around campus this semester. Tammy Zampogna is the recently-named Student Activities Coor- dinator at Penn State Delco. She has a B.S. in Mental Health Counseling from Gannon University in Erie, Penn- sylvania. Then she went to the Indiana University of Pennsylvania and received a M.A. in Student Affairs in Higher Education. Her position is Assistant to the Direc- tor of Student Programs and Services. She will plan campus cultural, athletic, and artistic events, student clubs and organizations will look to her for admin- istrative support, and she will plan leadership programs and workshops for club officers and staff. She has played a big part in the planning of Freshman Orientation this year. She helped to prepare the 1990-1991 Student Hand- book, which is vital to the new students. She has also worked with the different clubs to organize a “Walk About’ dur- ing freshman Orientation when students will have the opportunity to walk around to different booths where the clubs will be recruiting. She feels that it will be good publicity for the clubs and Dr. Ed Tomezsko, Campus E Service Award to Pat Smith and Diane Wolf. ‘will make it easier for the freshmen to get involved. While Tammy was job searching, Penn State Delco caught her attention. “I saw a challenge in the position. I en- joy working closely with students and I wanted to work in a place that was changing and growing.”’ Although she’s only been here for a few months, she’s made her mark already. She’s helped to mold the Lion’s Den into a student center that is quickly becoming a hotspot for all. Tammy's goals for her first year at Penn State Delco include ‘‘finishing the Lion’s Den so the students can have a place for themselves, strengthening communication and relations with the faculty, and to providing a variety of events on campus.’ Tammy also enjoys her spare time. “I have found a great deal of relaxation liv- ing on my own. After being in college for six years, I enjoy my own time. I like to write poetry, go for walks, take road trips, go shopping, and meet new people.” She is anxious to get this year going and to meet the incoming freshmen. “College is a time for learning and Photo by: MARIANNE RHODES becoming educated. Education, I believe, comes in many forms. We all know that academics are top priority; however, you will learn a great deal about yourself, others, and the world through forming relationships, joining clubs and organizations, attending events on campus and letting others know you.” Her advice to students is, “Do not be afraid to take chances.” Tammy plans in the near future to begin a doctoral program in counseling. Right now you can find her in her office in the Lion’s Den or in 106 Main. Tammy Zampogna Photo by: THERESA WALLS Pat Smith, Diane Wolf Win 1990 Campus Service Award What does ‘Outstanding Service to the Campus’ mean? Perhaps it means doing your job well, and making an ex- tra effort whenever needed; perhaps it means doing it consistently because others rely on you; perhaps it means do- ing it pleasantly, maybe even enjoying it. It probably means all of these and a lot more. : The best people on campus to ask about Outstanding Service are Pat Smith, Evening Office Manager for Con- tinuing Education, and Diane Wolf, Secretary for Academic Affairs. They were recently named the recipients of this year’s Outstanding Service Award. Each received a monetary award and a Nittany Lion Statue and will have her name engraved on the award plaque. Between them, Pat and Diane have given fifteen years of service te Delco, both as part-time and full-time employees. But they rarely see each other on a typical working day. Pat’s desk is in the Room 105 complex in the main building, and Diane’s office is Room 129 in the library learning center. However, their reactions to receiving the award were similar. “I was very excited to receive the award, especially since I hadn't even planned to attend the ceremony because it was during my first week of full-time work. That evening I ran home to tell my family all about it,”’ said Pat. Diane also said she was excited when she heard her name announced for the award. “I was surprised, thrilled, honored. When I stood up, my legs were like water. I was just shocked!” Both winners also say they enjoy their work at PSU Delco. Pat explained, “I like working with the public, especially with the instructors and students. They're all good people.” Diane agreed. “It’s a wonderful place to work; there is nothing I don’t like about working here. Everyone is very kind. And I'm very grateful to my faculty who wrote such lovely letters nominating me for the award.” : So what are the real rewards for out- standing service? Pat summed it up. “Penn State Delco shows that they real- ly appreciate you as a person.” Area Artist's Show Opens Campus Cultural Series Sponsored By Recently Established Endowment Fund by Jennifer Darr Friday, September 7th marks the beginning for a series of concerts and art shows and sales at PSU Delco. All the events are associated with the Tim Mark Endowment Fund, established last year by biology professor Dr. Jane Cooper. A show by Michael McNelly, an emerging artist from Springfield, Penn- sylvania, is first in the series. His work will be exhibited in the library from September 7 through October 8. A free- lance illustrator since his graduation from the Hussian School of Art, Phila- delphia, Mike’s clients include many area corporations, but his real love is painting nature. “The vast beauty of nature, especially birdlife, has intrigued and captivated A painting by Michael McNelly which will be part of his show from September 7 through October 8 in the library. my senses since early childhood,” he ex- plains. He is the winner of numerous awards and ribbons, is regularly invited to prestigious shows on the east coast, and has sold his work to many private collections. 51 Following McNeely’s show, will be an’ exhibit by artist Joanne Gross. Her: work will be on display in the library: from mid-October until Thanksgiving. Finishing the series of one-person shows in the library will be Karen Foger- ty of Newtown Square. Her work will be shown from. April to May. To generate funds for the Endowment and to bring additional art to the cam- pus, an Art Show & Sale is scheduled to be held in the gym during spring break. This show will feature the work of over 54 area artists with the opportunity for campus members and the public to pur- chase paintings. Admission to the show and sale, as well as a 25% gallery fee charged on each sale, will benefit the En- dowment fund. : Adding to all this cultural excitement on campus is a series of music concerts planned for 1991. On Februry 8 the Memorial Concert Series will host The Penn State Philharmonic Orchestra, which will perform classical and contem- porary music. Then on May 5, the Nittany Trombone Quartet will dazzle its audience with music of all styles, including quartet, choral, and jazz numbers. The following semester, on September 15, the Pennsyl- vania Quintet, composed of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and French horn, will offer a stimulating program of tradition- al quintet music as well as contemporary compositions. Finally, the Pennsylvania Brass Works will bring the spirit of the season to campus in a pre-holiday con- cert on December 1. Subscriptions to the Concert Series are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens, and $10 for students and in- clude two special arts events at no addi- tional charge. Tickets at the door will be $5. The concert series also will benefit the Tim Mark Endowment Fund. The purpose of the Endowment Fund is to support the exhibition of one or more emerging artists’ work every year on campus. The fund is named after Tim Mark, the artist whose work was on display in the library last year. Unfor- tunately, Tim lost his long battle with cancer and died on June 15 of this year. Before his death he donated one of his paintings, ‘‘Sycamore Mills Road,” to the campus. Another painting of his, “Stand of Beeches,” was purchased by Dr. Cooper and given to the campus. Through the work of many people, especially Dr. Cooper, the Endowment Fund has become a cultural asset to the campus, as well as an incentive to emerging artists and a tribute to the memory of Tim Mark.
