PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Community celebrates accomplishment with campus
Dear Friends and Supporters:
T
he students, faculty, staff and friends
from the community who gathered
in the Bromeley Quadrangle on
Sept. 3 to join in the celebration of the 50th
anniversary of our founding would not be
deterred by threatening clouds and rain.
They were determined to be a part of the
historic event and attendant celebrations;
as they filled up virtually every square
foot of the Quad, enjoying the noontime
refreshments, reveling in the music by Staff
Infection, and soaking in the fun and excitement,
I looked down from the second floor window of
my office, perplexed that the rain was continuing in
spite of a weather report that indicated zero percent
precipitation and worried that the crowd would
disperse, seeking shelter from the rain, just as we
were to begin the historic program commemorating our founding.
As I strode to the podium to begin the program,
it was crystal clear that I had greatly underestimated
the depth of the commitment of our campus
community and friends and the love and devotion
they have for the Pitt-Bradford campus. It appeared
that not a single person had left, although the rain
continued to fall. Overcome with emotion at the
sight of such devoted, endearing, rain-drenched
friends, I took a deep breath, put my umbrella aside
and expressed my heartfelt thanks to everyone for
“weathering the storm,” a frequent epithet for
Pitt-Bradford’s sustainability over its 50-year history.
I then attempted to create a context for the
remarkable Pitt-Bradford 50-year story, explaining
that the real story of the University of Pittsburgh
at Bradford encompasses more than the beautiful
campus that surrounds us, more than the many
generations of students who pursued their dreams
on this campus and more than our brilliant faculty
and staff. I stated that the story encompasses more
than the mother-ship campus that spawned it and
extends well beyond the three presidents who led
the campus during its momentous 50-year history.
I added that as important as they are in relating the
Pitt-Bradford story, the well over 10,000 men and
women who identify as alumni are also only a part
of the real story.
A narrative of the University of Pittsburgh at
Bradford, I continued, would amount to noth-
not only realized, but progressed, well
beyond the dreams and aspirations of
our founders, I cited the following as
examples of enduring attributes: the
ability to provide students with access
to the resources and reputation of a
world-renowned university in a safe,
friendly and caring environment; generous benefactors and engaged alumni
who believe in and care deeply about
our mission; and sustained, committed,
visionary leadership across all constituent groups,

50th Anniversary Gala
blends history and art
Opera legend Marilyn Horne, left, chats with Madeline Miles and architect Albert Filoni during the 50th Anniversary Gala during the Alumni
and Family Weekend. The gala raised $65,000 toward the Marilyn Horne Archive Project.
T
he 50th Anniversary Gala gave more
than 200 friends of the university a
chance to wear their finest dress-up
clothes, sip Limoncellos or Straub beer, enjoy a
sumptuous dinner, bid on some exclusive items
during a silent auction and get a peek at what
the Marilyn Horne Museum and Exhibit Center
could look like.
During the gala, the proceeds of which will
benefit the Marilyn Horne Archive Collection
Project, Marilyn Horne talked about some of the
items she will be donating as part of her archive
collection, which include jewelry, posters, letters,
musical scores and costumes. She said donating part of her collection to Pitt-Bradford made
more sense than donating it to the Library of
Congress, where she said the items would likely
sit in a box in storage, never to be seen or enjoyed
by anyone.
However, that won’t happen in Bradford. Albert Filoni, president of MacLachlan, Cornelius
& Filoni Architects Inc., presented his preliminary ideas on how Horne’s archive materials
could be displayed in the center, which would
be located in the Seneca Building in downtown
Bradford. Filoni’s ideas, which are to make the
first floor of the Seneca Building a place where
people will want to visit and gather, were well
received based on the many oohs and aahs from
the audience.
One of the most memorable moments of
the event came before Filoni even started his
P O RT R A I T S
presentation. The architect, who looks like a
modern-day Einstein, happens to be a huge
opera fan. So, when Horne in her remarks
mentioned Filoni as the one who would be
designing the space in which her collection
would be housed, Filoni noticed. In fact, it
left him all a-twitter. “I can’t believe Marilyn
Horne mentioned my name,” he said, the
awe obvious in his voice.
Proceeds from the gala benefitted the
Marilyn Horne Archive Collection Project.
To learn more about the project, contact Jill
Ballard, executive director of institutional
advancement, at 814-362-5091 or jballard@

HISTORY
Celebrating 50 years of
support for Pitt-Bradford
Photo from the W. Forres Stewart Collection
F
rom its very beginning in 1963, PittBradford has enjoyed the support of local
legislators who have partnered with the
university in countless ways, helping to advance
Pitt-Bradford’s academic mission and to shape
the growing campus we know today.
“We want to express our gratitude to our
legislators for their steadfast efforts on behalf
of the university community and in support of
affordable access to excellent higher education,”
said Dr. Livingston Alexander, president.
Below are some of those who have helped the
campus grow in the past and present.
State Sen. Dick Frame,
R-Franklin, 1962-77
8
Dick Frame was a World War II veteran who
served in the state senate from 1962 to 1977
and as the senate leader from 1973 to 1976;
tragically, he died in a plane crash near
Harrisburg in 1977.
As minority leader, Frame was deeply involved
in state budget negotiations, and during the
campus’s initial decade, he worked closely
with Pitt-Bradford’s first president, Dr. Donald
Swarts, and with his House colleague, Rep.
Vic Westerberg, to secure state funding for the
building of Swarts and Fisher halls.
In recognition of the legislators’ dedication
to Pitt-Bradford, the commons building at
Pitt-Bradford was named the Frame-Westerberg
Commons in 1984.
“He had a natural ability to bring people
together. One day we were driving to Harrisburg
and talking about the outcome of an election.
The person who had won had become vindictive,
and Vic said to me, ‘The winner shouldn’t have
enemies.’ He was a winner because he was a
friend and could be a friend.”
State Rep. Vic Westerberg,
R-Kane, 1969-76
State Rep. William D. Mackowski,
R-Bradford, 1977-1986
In addition to working tirelessly on the new
campus’s behalf, Vic Westerberg was known
as a supportive colleague and role model to
many. John Cleland, former chairman of the
Pitt-Bradford Advisory Board, came to know
Westerberg well as a young professional in
Kane. “Vic got me involved in politics and was a
wonderful mentor and teacher,” Cleland said.
Bill Mackowski succeeded Westerberg in office,
continuing the tradition of support for PittBradford. Mackowski and then-state Sen. John
Peterson were instrumental in ensuring an individual “line item” was included in the state budget
for Pitt-Bradford. Years later, the Rural Education
Outreach line item was instituted to provide
dedicated funding for rural education, benefiting

both Pitt-Bradford and Pitt-Titusville.
The lobby of the Frame-Westerberg Commons building is named for Rep. Mackowski, in
recognition of his support for Pitt-Bradford and
his commitment to higher education.
John E. Peterson, R-Pleasantville,
U.S. representative, 1997-2009,
state senator 1985-1996,
state representative, 1977-1984
Born in Titusville, John Peterson served for six
years in the U.S. Army and owned and operated
a food market for 26 years. He entered politics by
serving on the Pleasantville Borough Council for
eight years before being elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1977 and the
state senate in 1985.
As a senator, in addition to joining with Rep.
Mackowski in support of Pitt-Bradford, he cre-

ated five Higher Education Councils in his district
that enabled students from rural areas to earn university degrees in their own communities. Cleland
said, “He believed in education and that government
should provide that to rural people as much as to
others.” Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives
in 1997, Rep. Peterson continued his commitment
to serving rural communities at the federal level.
State Rep. Kenneth M. Jadlowiec,
R-Bradford, 1987-2002
When Ken Jadlowiec succeeded Mackowski in the
House of Representatives, he advanced campus life
at Pitt-Bradford by helping to secure necessary funding for the expansion of the sports and recreation
center. “Ken was in the same mold as Westerberg
and Mackowski,” Cleland said. “He was low key, but
a capable, hardworking person. Always able to get
along with Democrats, even if they didn’t agree, he
was able to maintain that positive working relationship that helped him get things done.”
The fitness center at Pitt-Bradford is named in
honor of Jadlowiec and his dedication to expanding the opportunities on campus for athletic and
recreational endeavor, thereby helping to enhance
the overall Pitt-Bradford student experience.
State Sen. Joe Scarnati, R-Brockway,
2000-present
As president pro tempore of the senate, and one
of the most powerful elected representatives in the
state, Joe Scarnati has aggressively protected the rural
education line item that helps Pitt-Bradford provide
educational outreach and other vital services to the
region. “Senator Scarnati has emerged as one of the
most highly respected officials in the Commonwealth,” Alexander said. “He exemplifies the values of
hard work, perseverance and never giving up.”
Scarnati got his start in politics in 1986 when he
was elected to the Brockway Borough Council; at
the same time, he was running the family restaurant
in Brockway. First elected to the Senate in 2000,
Scarnati spoke at Pitt-Bradford’s commencement in
2009, while serving as lieutenant governor.
Most recently, with the support of Representative
Martin Causer in the House, Scarnati played a vital
role in helping to secure a $2.5 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant for the
City of Bradford and Pitt-Bradford, enabling the
renovation of the Kessel Athletic Complex. Senator
Scarnati and Representative Causer rededicated the
new complex during the Pennsylvania State Little
League Championship Tournament in August.
State Rep. Martin Causer ’96,
R-Turtlepoint, 2002-present
Martin Causer knows Pitt-Bradford not only as a
legislator, but also as a student and alumnus. Elected
a supervisor in Annin Township at the age of 19, he
held the position for nine years before running for
the House of Representatives following Rep. Jadlowiec’s
retirement.
A devoted supporter of Pitt-Bradford, Rep. Causer has
frequently partnered with Sen. Scarnati to advance the
mission of the campus; their most recent efforts resulted
in the upgraded Kessel Athletic Complex in 2013.
Alexander acknowledged Causer’s extraordinary “depth
of dedication” to the campus, as well as his ability to work
effectively with his colleagues in the senate on behalf of
our region, saying, “Both Sen. Scarnati and Rep. Causer
continue to be strong partners with Pitt-Bradford and
have continued the tradition that began with loyal legislators decades ago.”

Chairman of the Pitt-Bradford Advisory Board
A Message from Craig A. Hartburg
Board has always shown strong support for campus
Dear Pitt-Bradford Friends and Supporters:
T
he much-anticipated 50th Anniversary year for Pitt-Bradford has come.
There was a very successful kickoff
of our 50th year on Sept. 3 that came exactly
50 years to the date that a ribbon-cutting
ceremony was conducted at the Hamsher
House, our first academic/administration building. To say that much has been
accomplished since then would be a gross
understatement. As we now occupy a substantial campus at 300 Campus Drive, it is
hard to imagine that we actually started with
such humble beginnings. But due to the hard
work and unwavering commitment of many
throughout the years, the Bradford Campus
has become a thriving college campus.
Throughout our history, Pitt-Bradford has
enjoyed the support of an active and committed Advisory Board. An Advisory Board
by definition does not include fiduciary responsibility for the operation of the campus.
The Board of Trustees for the University of
Pittsburgh actually has the fiduciary responsibility
for the Bradford Campus. However, the Bradford
Advisory Board has, since its inception, taken
ownership of the Bradford Campus and has
ensured that all necessary assets were available to
ensure success.
The first chair of the Bradford Advisory Board, J.
Bertram Fisher, president of Kendall
Refining Co., set the tone for the type of Advisory
Board that continues today. He and the original
Advisory Board members set out to make sure
that the small campus that began at the Hamsher
House would succeed and grow to become the
10

campus we enjoy today. Each of the successors
to the position of Chair, Dr. Robert Bromeley,
William Higie, Judge John Cleland and myself,
have remained faithful to that
position of ownership and pride in the
University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.
For the past eight years, it has been a privilege
and honor to serve Pitt-Bradford as chair of the
Advisory Board. During that time, I am proud
that the Advisory Board has achieved and maintained 100 percent giving to the Annual Fund
Campaign. As important as this is, I am also
amazed by the ownership and commitment that
all members of the Board have in Pitt-Bradford.
Time and again, board members volunteer to
take on projects that will have positive effects on
the institution and the students we serve. This
2 F0 A1 L0 L / W I N T E R

willingness to serve has been a hallmark of the
Pitt-Bradford Advisory Board.
Since 2005, the Pitt-Bradford Advisory
Board has been expanded to include representation in three major areas: Alumni representation now equals 33 percent of the total
membership. We have increased membership
in the areas of
professional representatives and also have
expanded our geographic representation,
reaching not only beyond Bradford but well
beyond the state of Pennsylvania.
With this increase in representation on the
Advisory Board, we have guaranteed that PittBradford will continue to reach new horizons.
As we move past our 50th year and into a future filled with many challenges, we will need
to count even more heavily on the Advisory
Board to help chart the course to make sure
that we continue to be a viable choice for the
students of the future. This whole new generation of students will be asking more of PittBradford, and understanding that the world
will be expecting more of a college graduate.
This new generation of students will also expect
more of Pitt-Bradford knowing that the investment
in capital they are making is substantial.
As always, with the dedication of the Advisory
Board, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and supporters
of the excellent education and commitment to
our students, Pitt-Bradford will continue to be the
beacon of higher education that so many now
recognize. I thank all of you for what you have
done in the past, and I look forward to working
with you as we begin our next 50 years.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
Year 2012-2013
50 Years and Beyond:
A Year of Increasing Momentum
addition to increasing the number of full-time
students participating in study abroad by 100
percent, we welcomed our largest group of international students in the history of our campus.
Thirty-two students came to Pitt-Bradford from
countries such as China, Gambia, Germany,
South Korea, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. We
also established the Confucius Institute at
Pitt-Bradford, enabling us to bring two scholars
from the People’s Republic of China to campus
to deliver both credit and non-credit courses in
Chinese language and culture throughout the
academic year.
We focused as well on strengthening our
academic support structure in order to ensure
the success of our students and to make sure
that at Pitt-Bradford, our students graduate on
time and are well-prepared to meet the myriad
challenges they may face in life and in career. In
fact, we celebrated the largest graduating class in
Pitt-Bradford history with 343 degrees awarded
in the 2012-2013 academic year, exceeding our
targeted increase in the number of associate and
baccalaureate degrees awarded by 6 percent.
Our student body continues to diversify
as we strive to increase our efforts to recruit
qualified students and promote high standards
of achievement while providing a welcoming
and supporting campus climate for all. In the
fall term, we completed a search for a full-time
director of our new Writing Center and commemorated the Center’s relocation from Swarts
Hall to a newly renovated home on the second
floor of Hanley Library with a grand opening
celebration. We also completed an initiative
to install devices so that all of Pitt-Bradford’s
classrooms can be locked from the inside,
strengthening both the aesthetic appeal and
the safety of our academic buildings. Many
of our student athletes were recognized by
the AMCC for athletic excellence as well as
scholarly achievement, in fact 62 were named to
W
ith enthusiasm building for our
milestone 50th anniversary, through
the hard work of our faculty and
staff, and with the support of our advisory board,
alumni and friends, we made significant strides
and achieved lasting progress for our campus
during the last academic year. I’m very pleased
to report that 2012-2013 was a year of increasing
momentum at the University of Pittsburgh at
Bradford.
Guided by our plan for the fifth decade, we
were able to strengthen existing academic
programs, maximize student satisfaction with
classroom learning, increase our infrastructure
and our capacity for delivering high quality
instruction via distance education technology,
increase our focus on international education,
promote effective post-graduate planning and
placement, and put in place vital new academic
initiatives.
For example, we initiated two new baccalaureate majors this year, one in energy science and
technology, and one in general studies. We
also implemented a forensics minor within our
immensely popular criminal justice program. In

Weekend. Christensen and her teammates had the highest grade point average of any team at
Pitt-Bradford. Across all sports, 62 Pitt-Bradford athletes were named to the all-Allegheny
Mountain Collegiate Conference academic team in 2012-2013.

the all-AMCC academic team. And, for the third
consecutive year, Baily’s Beads, the university’s
literary magazine, was awarded the American
Scholastic Press Association’s Most Outstanding
Literary Magazine. For these reasons and many
others, it may come as no surprise that our 2012
student satisfaction scores measuring a supportive
campus environment exceeded those of our MidEast public college comparison group.
Our mission to enhance the quality of life in our
six-county service region by contributing to the
economic and cultural development of our area
was advanced significantly throughout the year.
We saw steady increases in attendance at our Prism
series, Spectrum and Kaleidoscope performing
arts events, and the number of conferences and
events on campus rose as did enrollment in our
non-credit course offerings. Our communication
and marketing efforts to enhance the visibility
of our university utilized a comprehensive and
sustained marketing campaign in primary, secondary and selected tertiary markets, including an
increased reliance on our website. The results were
quite positive. For the ninth year in a row, PittBradford was named by The Princeton Review as
12
PPPOOORRRTTTRRRAAAI IITTTSSS
one of the best colleges in the Northeast. GI Jobs
magazine named us, for the fourth consecutive
year, a Military Friendly School. In January 2013,
college research website TheBestColleges.com
named us one of the 10 best regional campuses in
the United States. Pitt-Bradford was eighth on that
top 10 list, which included institutions such as Penn
State Behrend, University of Michigan-Flint, Indiana
University-Purdue University at Indianapolis and
Texas A&M Galveston. Additionally, Pitt-Bradford
is one of only eight Pennsylvania colleges—and
one of only two public colleges—named to The
Princeton Review’s Best Value Colleges list.
We remain capable of providing a high-quality educational experience to our students not only due to
efficient and effective management of our resources,
but because of the continued outstanding support
of our Pitt-Bradford family and friends. Thanks to
the efforts of our faculty and staff, for example, our
campus received external grants and awards this last
year totaling $904,045, and we expect to continue to
increase our grant funding from external sources. In
the spring, we reached 65 percent completion of our
groundbreaking $17.5 million 50 and Beyond Capital Campaign, and as we continue to engage donors,

friends and alumni in stewardship programs, we
look forward to a successful conclusion to the
campaign in December 2014.
In addition, our generous supporters enhanced
our educational mission in many critically important ways this past academic year. Educational
Improvement Tax Credit contributions were
made to Pitt-Bradford by Hamlin Bank and
Trust Co. of Smethport, $100,000; Pennsylvania
General Energy of Warren, $40,000; Minard Run
Oil Co., $25,000; and Northwest Savings Bank,
$15,000. These contributions support Pitt-Bradford’s Bridges and College in the High School
programs. Alumni Frank ’64-’66 and Mary Rizzo
’64-’66 generously established the Pitt-Bradford
50th Anniversary Commemorative Scholarship,
and with an employer three-to-one contribution
from ExxonMobil and additional gifts, the scholarship now stands at nearly $40,000.
For the eighth consecutive year, members of
Pitt-Bradford’s Advisory Board reached the 100
percent giving level. For the 16th consecutive
year, members of the PBAA Board of Directors
reached the 100 percent giving level. All told,
since 2008, alumni giving has more than tripled
Confucius Scholar Ada Huang, left, shares the art of Chinese paper cutting with students during the Cultural Festival in February. Along with fellow scholar
Lillian Zhang, Huang taught introduction to Chinese culture for Pitt-Bradford students. The two also led a children’s Chinese culture club at St. Bernard

from $52,673 to $176,579. And just this year,
an anonymous donor contributed $50,000 to
establish the Alumni Matching Challenge.
Sustainability and the effective management
of resources were key foci for our students this
past year as well, as together we explored new
sustainable practices on campus and increased
the opportunities available for student learning
and faculty research on fossil fuels and renewable energy sources. In addition to hosting a
regional sustainability forum on campus, we
developed and disseminated new guidelines for
printing to enable more efficient use of printing
materials and paper products on campus, and
initiatives are now under way to reduce material
waste, increase energy efficiency and enhance
green space on campus. In 2013, the American
Refining Group/Harry R. Halloran Jr. Scholarship and Sustainability Endowment Fund
distributed $3,098 in scholarships to deserving
petroleum technology students, and our new
four-year baccalaureate degree in energy science
and technology has already proven to be a very
popular choice of study.
As we looked ahead with great enthusiasm
to our 50th anniversary, this past year proved to
be one of both increased expectations as well as
increased achievement on our campus. In all that
we do, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford
strives to promote collaborative, interdisciplinary,
experiential learning to prepare our students for
leadership in a world whose geographical, intellectual, and cultural boundaries are giving way to
global interdependence. Pitt-Bradford’s studentcentered academic environment fosters the skills
and habits of mind that lead to lifelong learning,
rewarding careers and fulfilling lives. Our university
continues to invest in our surrounding communities and is enriched by partnerships that enhance
the quality of life in the region and beyond. We
live this mission every day at Pitt-Bradford, working with strategic vision, diligence and the effective
utilization of our resources to make a lasting difference for the students and region that we serve.
For the third consecutive year, Baily’s Beads,
the university’s literary magazine, was
awarded the American Scholastic Press
Association’s Most Outstanding Literary
Magazine.

Founders’ Society
S
ince its founding in 1963, the
University of Pittsburgh at Bradford
has been fortunate to receive the
support of many generous individuals,
organizations and community leaders
in seeing a vision become a reality. With
each successful addition to the campus
and its curriculum, there have been
supporters who helped initiate and carry
forward ideas through planning and
philanthropy.
Pitt-Bradford has established the
Founders’ Society to recognize alumni,
faculty, staff and friends who have made
a commitment to the college through
a planned gift to the Bradford Educational Foundation. In making these gifts,
Founders’ Society members are ensuring
that Pitt-Bradford will have the financial
resources to provide educational opportunities well into the future.
Planned gifts – gifts made through wills,
life insurance, trusts and other programs
– have become
an increasingly
important source
of Pitt-Bradford’s
strength and
growth. These
resources provide
for scholarships,
academic program expansion
and campus development as well
as unrestricted
funds.
All planned gifts,
regardless of size,
enroll the donor
in the Founders’
Society.

STAFF PROFILE
The friendliest person on
By KIMBERLY MARCOTT WEINBERG
Portraits Editor
Photo by Lindsay Retchless ’98
Donny Johnson kicks back at an alumni golf
event in Florida. Johnson took time out from
helping the baseball team during its spring
break in Florida to visit with the alumni.
A
sk people at Pitt-Bradford about Donald
“Donny” Johnson, and they will invariably
smile.
On a campus that prides itself on its friendliness,
Johnson is the champion.
For 33 years, he has greeted nearly every fellow
staff member twice a day as mail carrier. This
greeting ritual between Johnson and staff and
faculty members goes far beyond a simple hello.
Johnson carries tidbits of information from one
part of campus to another, and then there is usually a short conversation about 1. Weather, 2. Cats
or 3. Sports.
Ah, sports. Anyone who has met Johnson knows
he is synonymous with sports. In a speech to his
classmates, Lyndon Orinion ’11, called him “a
walking ESPN channel.” In addition to knowing
the schedules, scores, practice times and travel arrangements for all Pitt-Bradford teams, he knows
34

TS IT TA LF EF
PF RA OL FLI /L WE I N FTAE LRL /2 W0 I1 N0 T E R
them for all major Pitt teams, the Pitt band, all
Pittsburgh teams, all Bradford Area High School
teams and whatever professional, college or
scholastic teams staff and faculty members follow.
We’re talking dozens, if not hundreds, of teams.
He’s also on top of NCAA conference realignments (let’s face it, a feat unto itself) and is
virtually unstumpable on the subject of NCAA
mascots.
Don’t even get started on the NCAA’s annual
Division I men’s basketball tournament – March
Madness – says Dr. Michael Stuckart, associate
professor of anthropology and one half of the
“Doc and Donny Show” that travels each spring
break with the Panther baseball team’s warm-up
trip to Florida or Arizona. The trip coincides with
the tournament.
Stuckart usually rooms with Johnson on these
trips. “He’s fanatical,” Stuckart says. “He takes
over the room with his basketball magazines and
bracketology.”
Stuckart and head baseball coach Bret Butler
outline Johnson’s morning routine, which includes a 4:15 a.m. wake-up call, followed almost
immediately by an online check of the scores and
stats of the previous night’s NCAA games. Some
of this information goes into Johnson’s closely
guarded notebook, some of it highlighted in a
scientific system.
“We always tease him about being a bookie,”
Butler said.
Game information recorded, it’s time to hit the
breakfast buffet.
“We destroy buffets,” Stuckart said. But the biggest eater of them all is not one of the 20-year-old,
200-pound athletes; it’s Johnson, whose record is
four Belgian waffles plus all the trimmings.
After dropping the team off, the Doc and
Donny Show has business to attend to, hitting
a local grocery or Wal-Mart to buy Gatorade,
fruit, protein bars and the like for the team. They
arrange for lunch.
“Donny is always copilot, and he’s great at it. He
has a knack for recognizing places we’ve been to
and places to turn,” Stuckart said.
2 0 1 3
Mission accomplished, Johnson returns to the
ballpark and takes his place in the dugout, which is
significant, Butler said, because a dugout is a team’s
“house.” “You can’t just go walking into someone’s
dugout, but Donny’s always welcome,” Butler said.
Stuckart said, “He’s a great cheerleader in the dugout. He starts claps. He’s frequently the first to sport a
rally cap, and he chides the guys for not being ‘up.’”
Coaching staffs from other teams have come to
know Johnson, too, and always ask about him when
they talk to Butler. Alumni, too, always ask Butler
about “D-train” as they call Johnson.
Stuckart said people all over Florida and Arizona
know about Pitt-Bradford through Johnson.
“Wherever we go, he is enthusiastic about who
we are and what we do and why we’re there,” he said.
“He’s a real ambassador. He’s quick to strike up conversations. He gets to know people wherever we are.”
Johnson has spent time volunteering with the PittBradford basketball team, too, beginning when Dick
Danielson was coach, handling the ball rack.
Johnson’s volunteerism extends far beyond PittBradford sports. He volunteers with Bradford High
booster groups; is a track coach for the Special Olympics; participates annually in the American Cancer
Society’s Relay for Life with the staff team, The Pitt
Crew; and, for the past few years, has danced and
joked his way across stage as part of Kiwanis Kapers.
A 1969 graduate of Bradford Area High School,
Johnson is an active member of the class reunion
committee.
“I didn’t even know him in high school because
he was so darn quiet and just did his thing,” said
Terri Smith Leven ’69-’71, who graduated from high
school with Johnson. “But when we started doing our
reunions every year, he always wanted to be included
in the committee work.”
The committee voted him its president because he
is always the driving force behind getting the process
started for the next reunion.
This fall Leven and her husband, Bill, began a special project to honor their friend, raising money for
the Pitt-Bradford sports endowment, which has been
named in Johnson’s honor.

Donny Johnson makes the rounds of campus
twice each day with mail, news and good cheer.
“This fund is a great symbolic representation of
his support for athletics,” Stuckart said. And it’s a
chance for people to show Johnson how much
they appreciate him. When Johnson comes to deliver the mail, “It is a good part of the day for a lot of
people. There’s nothing negative about him at all.”
Butler agreed. “There’s not a negative emotion in
his person. I’m a richer man for knowing him, and
we’re a richer team for having him be part of it.”

Dr. Livingston
Alexander, president of Pitt-Bradford

professor of psychology,
published an article in
the International Journal
of Leadership and Change
titled “What Leadership
Development Institutes
can Never Teach College
Presidents About Leadership.”
The article identifies areas of
potential vulnerability for new
college presidents and suggests
constructive ways to supplement
insights gained in professional
development seminars in order to
enable more successful presidencies. Alexander is also a member

SPORTS ZONE
Playing with Team USA
By Scott Elliott
Sports information director
Andrea Gundlach poses before the amazing view from Sugar Loaf Mountain in Brazil, which she reached by cable car. Monkeys swung from
nearby trees but evaded the camera.
O
ver the summer, two of Pitt-Bradford’s
women’s soccer athletes played the
game they love so much in one of the
sport’s meccas: Brazil.
Andrea Gundlach and Tess Follman, along
with other NCAA Division III soccer players,
were selected to play for Team USA, sponsored
by USA Sports Tours and Events. The organization draws Division III athletes from all across
the country in volleyball, basketball and soccer
and provides a once-in-a-lifetime experience in
international competition.
Pitt-Bradford women’s soccer coach Mike
Idland approached the duo last year about the
opportunity, and they both jumped at it.

TS IP TOLRE T S F ZA OL NL E/ W IF NA TL EL R/ W2 I 0N1T0E R
“I was happy that Dre and Tess took advantage of
the opportunity to go play in Brazil,” Idland said. “I
think good things are going to happen to a player’s
game any time she has a chance to get around
other top players, especially in an environment like
Brazil, whose culture is so steeped in soccer.”
On May 20, the two arrived in Orlando, Fla., with
their new teammates for orientation and training.
Follman was the youngest on the team, which was
composed mostly of juniors and seniors, including
many who had graduated just weeks before.
The first day of practice was canceled due to
lightning, but the team managed to squeeze in a
practice session before departing for Sao Paulo,
Brazil.

Both a men’s and women’s team made the 10-day
trip, and Gundlach’s parents and Follman’s mother
also joined the party of more than 40 people.
Once in Brazil, the group traveled by buses with
some being more modern than others. Many of the
buses featured glass dividers separating the driver
from the teams, and not every bus was installed
with televisions, something Gundlach and Follman
were accustomed to in the United States.
The teams wasted little time experiencing their
first taste of international soccer, meeting the
Jundial and Paulista Futebal Clubs their first day in
Brazil; the women won 1-0.
The following day, the two teams visited the
Divino school, featuring students of all ages. The
in Brazil
men scrimmaged the high school team in what
Gundlach and Follman described more as an
enclosed court with netting. Students clamored
for the players’ autographs and photos as they
toured the facility.
“The kids were crazy, just the energy and excitement,” said Gundlach, a senior. “We were signing
autographs forever.”
Games were played at night, and one game in
particular was played on Astroturf, and cleats were
not allowed. Many of the women didn’t bring tennis shoes to the match with them, and one player
even went so far as to borrow a pair of shoes from
a spectator.
“You could go up to the turf and lift it,” Follman
said. “None of us had shoes. I had to use coach’s
shoes; it was horrible.”
“We all had sandals,” Gundlach said. “I think if
we would have had our cleats, we would have won
that game.”
The group traveled to Rio de Janeiro on day six,
weaving through the mountains to reach the city.
After checking into the hotel, they took in the season opener of Vasco de Gama against Portuguesa
FC of the Brazilian Soccer League. More than
20,000 were there for the game.
“There was a section with flags and people
jumping up and down, cheering the entire game,”
Gundlach said.
The group sat in the visitors section, which was
walled off from the home crowd, and neither
team, men nor women, was allowed to visit the
Vasco team store for fear they might be hurt. They
were told to blend in as much as possible and
prohibited from wearing USA gear.
The teams ate in Copacabana on day seven,
“carb loading” for the next day. Many of the restaurants the group visited featured pizza and pasta.
They were advised to never drink the water, both
at the hotels and out and about.
They spent the first half of day eight venturing up
Sugar Loaf Mountain, taking in the beautiful view
of the city. That night they traveled to the Brazilian
Naval Base for their final games. Against more
experienced competition, the women suffered
their worst defeat, 4-1.
It was revealed by USA Sports Tours and Events
Director Ron Smith after the game that many of
the women on the naval team would represent
Brazil in the next Olympic Games.
“It was pretty much their job to play soccer,”
Andrea Gundlach goes after the ball in a game against Paulista Futebal Club in Jundiai,
Brazil. Gundlach and her Team USA teammates, which included fellow Pitt-Bradford teammate Tess Follman, won the game 1-0.
Gundlach said. “They were pretty legit.”
The women spent their last day in Brazil taking
in the Christ the Redeemer statue and lounging on
the beach.
“I wish we would have had more beach time,”
Follman said. “I didn’t get to tan as much as I
wanted.”
Both Gundlach and Follman shopped the local
markets and vendors, learning to employ barter
skills when dealing with the natives. Among the
most notable items they brought back were a
ceramic bowl for cooking that Follman purchased
and a decorative knife that Gundlach bought.
Following the conclusion of each contest, the
women would exchange Pitt-Bradford women’s
soccer shirts for jerseys and other apparel.
“Andrea received a really sweet jersey,” Follman
said. “Our last game they wanted to trade our shin
guards.”
Since returning to the United States, Gundlach
and Follman have stayed in contact with their
teammates through text messaging, Snapchat and
Facebook. In September, they had the unique
chance to play against one of their teammates,
Alicia Snyder of Juniata.
“She was a captain, and I went out for the captain’s toss and was like, ’Hey, I know you already,’”
Gundlach said.
USA Sports Tours and Events has scheduled a
reunion in Brazil in three years for all former players, and both Gundlach and Follman expressed
interest in going back.
For many Pitt-Bradford students, summers
mean a chance to return home and work or fulfill
internship requirements. Gundlach and Follman
experienced something different, something very
few will ever do.
“I thought it was pretty sweet,” Gundlach said.
“Not everyone gets to go to Brazil and play soccer.”
A fan of Tess Follman’s shows off an
American dollar she gave him during a
Team USA Soccer stop at the Divino
school. Children begged for autographs,
and team members signed notebooks,
shirts and even limbs. One player even
gave a student her socks.
