Diversity Institute
hosts annual camp
The Misericordia University
Diversity Institute is hosting its
annual Diversity Camp from
June 17-21 on campus for high
school students entering 11th
and 12th grades interested in be-
coming ambassadors for
change.
The theme for the five-day,
four-night camp is H.O.PE.:
Honoring Other People’s Expe-
riences. The camp works to de-
velop student leaders who are
engaged in, and community ad-
vocates for, inclusive excellence.
The camp, under the direc-
tion of Scott S. Richardson,
Ed.D., director of the Diversity
Institute - Office of Inclusive Ex-
cellence, exposes youth leaders
to broader views of inclusion
and engages them in skill build-
ing for issues around exclusion
High school students stay in
the Misericordia University resi-
dence halls and participate in
cultural competency and lead-
ership workshops and seminars,
and campus-wide cultural
events. Camp workshops and
seminars will focus on leader-
ship development, conflict reso-
lution, and cross-cultural rela-
tions and communication.
The .camp also works to cre-
ate a pipeline for underrepre-
sented students to successfully
transition from high school into
the college of their choice. Key
in that process is ensuring that
students and their families un-
derstand the process for apply-
ing to college and are aware of
all the possible pathways and
opportunities available to them.

“(Ella Trimble) was so little
when she went through treat-
ments, but I hope she will re-
member memories of things
she did at THON, like having
fun with her brother and all the
other kids,” said Carey. “THON
does bring good memories with
having cancer.”
Ella Trimble is 4 years old and
she was last treated in October
for Acute-Lymphoblastic Leu-
kemia.
Carey said she hopes she can
have an effect on other families
like those who supported her
when she was battling the dis-
ease.
“It’s something I always think
about, that my battle is mostly
over, but there are still kids who
are diagnosed every day and
families still have to hear that
their child has cancer at the
Hershey Medical Center and
throughout the world,” said Ca-
rey. “This is about what we can
do as students to financially
help them, and what we can do
to help them become survi-
vors.”
Carey’s first THON experi-
ence in 2006 was one she’ll nev-
er forget.
“It was one of the coolest,
most overwhelming experienc-
es,” she said. “There were so
many colors and people every-
where, and it was also amazing
to know there was such a big
group of students coming to-
gether for a good cause.”
Ella and Jacob Trimble, of Lancaster, take time for a photo with
Erika Reckage, left, a Women's Club Basketball dancer, and Beth
Carey at the THON Family Carnival at Penn State University
Main Campus in November.
This year, Carey is dancing for the Trimble family, which the
basketball club adopted two years ago. Ella Trimble finished her
last round of chemotherapy last year.
After she graduates, Carey
hopes to continue participating
in THON and other activities
related to the Penn State Her-
shey Children’s Hospital for
years to come.
“I want to actually become a
physician’s assistant and work
with kids and families who are
going through what I went
through,” she said. “I also want
to stay involved with THON —
I'll donate every year and come
back as much as I can to support
the students and families I've
gotten to know.”

Shaffer said there are seven or
eight staff members who can op-
erate the detectors, and scanning
every visitor would be “impossi-
ble” right now.
He also said while most stu-
dents “are not jumping for joy”
over the metal detectors, Carolan
and Paci have been the most out-
spoken on the issue.
“Most students understand
why we need it,” he said.
Parent Chris Oremus, of Fran-
klin Township, expressed con-
cerns to the board about traffic
going in and out of the campus
from Hildebrandt Road. He said a
visibility problem and reckless
drivers are reasons why he sees
near-accidents “almost every sin-
gle day.”
Board member Bruce Goerin-
ger agreed and said there should
be a police officer in the area to
deter drivers from speeding in
that area.
