Students Primed for The Big Event
he Student Government
Association and AmeriCorps
students from the Center for Civic
Engagement will take the lead when The
Big Event starts at 9 a.m. Saturday.
A student-run service project, The
Big Event began at Texas A&M
University in 1982, when student leaders
saw a need to give back to the
community that had long supported their
university.
Since then, The Big Event has
become the largest one-day, student-run
service project in the nation. Typically,
students complete chores for community
members, such as yard work, window
washing and painting.
Cal U first held The Big Event in
2007.
Working from a list created over the
past several years, students have
distributed forms and made phone calls
to identify community residents who can
use a hand. Katie McAndrew, vice
president of Student Government, said
more than 350 Cal U students have
registered to work at one of 20 job sites.
“I’ve only ever heard good feedback,
and we frequently get thank-you cards or
nice notes on the forms that are returned
afterward,” said McAndrew, who joins
AmeriCorps student Chelsea Getsy as
lead coordinator for the project.
“It’s a great opportunity for our
students to go out and really make a
difference to individual community

On Saturday more than 350 Cal U students will say ‘thank you’ to the borough of California by participating in The Big Event and performing a
variety of tasks such as painting, yard work and cleaning.

members.”
“I’ve worked the past two Big Events,
and the gratitude from residents in the
borough is absolutely overwhelming,”
added Student Government President
Alexandra Brooks.
McAndrew said borough residents set
the agenda for each service project.
“It can be something as simple as
washing windows, painting, mulching,

raking leaves or trimming hedges,” she
said. “It’s easy for a couple of students
to go into a basement and bring out
spring furniture, which can be a big help
to older residents. They tell us what
needs to be done.”
Students will meet at 9 a.m. Saturday
inside the Performance Center, where
each volunteer will receive an easily
recognizable Big Event T-shirt. Lunch

also will be provided.
McAndrew said the new Walmart
near campus provided a $500 grant to
help with expenses, and Home Depot
added a $25 gift card.

The Big Event can register online; visit

Engineering Students Chase Freescale Cup

students will try to race their
way to China during the
Freescale Cup East Coast Regional
competition from 1-4 p.m. Saturday at the Convocation
Center.
Sponsored by the microprocessor manufacturer
Freescale, the global collegiate competition challenges
students to program and race autonomous, small-scale
model cars around a racetrack, seeking the fastest time.
Nearly 40 teams from Connecticut, Michigan, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island

E

will travel to Cal U and face off for a
chance to compete Aug. 21-24 in
Harbin, China.
The West Coast regional winner will
be on campus to face the East Coast winner immediately
after the regional competition. The winner of that faceoff will advance to the international contest.
Cal U will have three or four teams racing their cars
against teams from some of the best engineering
universities in the region.
For Freescale Cup competitions, each team is given a
car chassis and basic parts. Students are responsible for

the programming, motor control and sensory
components of the car.
The little cars zip around the racetrack, following a
black line by using a sensor or camera attached to the
bottom of the car.
Not only does the event test students in electrical and
mechanical engineering, but it also forces teams to
perfect their communication and teamwork skills.
Freescale Cup competitions have grown in popularity
over the past decade. Worldwide, more than 20 countries
and 1,000 universities participate in Freescale events.
Visit www.calu.edu to see the cars in action.

Service
Members
Strive for
Proficiency
Badge
or the second consecutive year, Cal
U will host members of the activeduty, reserve and National Guard
components of the U.S. military as they
compete to earn the German Armed
Forces Proficiency Badge.
Physical fitness tests will take place,
rain or shine, Friday to Sunday on the
University’s main and upper campuses.
The marksmanship test will be held at the
Westmoreland County Community
College Public Safety Training Center in
nearby Smithton, Pa.
Testing for the German Armed Forces
Proficiency Badge is being organized by
the Office of Veterans Affairs at Cal U.
To earn the badge, candidates must
meet benchmarks in swimming, running
and other physical activities; qualify on
the pistol range; pass a first-aid test; and
complete a 7.5-mile road march while
carrying a backpack weighing at least 33
pounds.
A decoration of the armed forces of
the Federal Republic of Germany, the
badge is one of the few foreign awards
that U.S. military members may wear on
their uniform.
This prestigious award has been
available since 1972 to U.S. service
members who meet rigorous proficiency
standards. All eligible members of the
U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines,
Coast Guard and National Guard may
compete for the award.
The German Armed Forces
Proficiency Badge is awarded in gold,
silver or bronze, depending on the results
of the pistol qualification, the first-aid test
and the road march.
As many as 70-80 service members
from Pennsylvania, New York, New
Jersey and Delaware are expected. The
service member traveling the farthest for
the testing is Cal U’s 2007 Homecoming
King, Chris Catlin of Colorado.
A ceremony recognizing participants
who complete the badge requirements
will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday in the
Performance Center, with a member of
the German military in attendance.

Service Project Revives Ballroom
hen the West Newton Volunteer Fire Department
needed help, Cal U students came to the rescue.
Asistant professor Mary Popovich, West
Newton’s mayor since 2009, was faced with the challenge of
revitalizing a fire department that had lost personnel and
suffered serious financial setbacks.
West Newton Borough Council was reluctant to raise taxes
to catch up on delinquent mortgage payments for the firehall.
So Popovich opted to increase fundraising opportunities by
refurbishing the building’s dilapidated 70- by 80-square-foot
Youghiogheny Ballroom.
A St. Patrick’s Day Oldies Dance raised enough to prevent
foreclosure, but the building still needed renovations. That’s
when Cal U’s Center for Civic Engagement and Department
of Applied Engineering and Technology stepped in to assist
community volunteers and fire department members.
Twenty-five students from the Technology Education
Association of California (TEAC), the athletic training
program, the women’s rugby team, and Phi Sigma Sigma and
Alpha Sigma Alpha sororities cleaned the ballroom, removed
wallpaper, painted, replaced floor tiles and tackled other tasks.
Dr. Laura Hummell, chair of Applied Engineering,
approved the community project for students in her
department. Most of the work was completed by April 3.
“I’m proud of these students for stepping up to the plate to
assist a small community that needs to maintain its fire
service,” Popovich said.
“This was brute work where you were on your hands and
knees using scouring pads or razor blades, crawling on the
floor around toilets. It was not pleasant, and there was no
glory.”
Nevertheless, junior Jason Pistner, interim president of
TEAC, said he found the work gratifying.
Last November he was among a group of Cal U students
who helped their classmate, injured Marines veteran James
Kush, to repair his family’s home in Donora, Pa.
“We try to take our service projects seriously, (so we can)
actually use the skills that tech ed people have,” said Pistner,
who thanked Phi Sigma Sigma and local businesses for
donating cleaning supplies.
“For us, it’s enjoyable, and at the same time it’s important

for us to go out and help people in need.”
With their Youghiogheny Ballroom restored, the fire
department is planning a number of fundraising activities,
including a 1950s-style sock hop dinner dance on May 11.
Cal U students will help to market the event and serve food
at the dance.
Hummell described Pistner as a true student leader. And
like Popovich, she was moved by all the students’ passion for
helping others.
“We were both overwhelmed by their response,” Hummell
said. “I think that the students’ community service is
outstanding, and I am proud of their hard work on behalf of
someone else. They are always willing and able to give back.”

‘Help Others,’ Alumnus Tells Scholars
eflecting on his journey from Cal U to a
distinguished career in finance, Jesse Hereda ’04
encouraged Cal U’s Presidential Scholars to find
success by helping others.
Hereda delivered the address at the University’s 2013
Honors Convocation, held April 6 in the Convocation
Center. Nearly 1,250 people were in attendance.
The director of finance for the Disciplinary Board
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Hereda earned
a bachelor’s degree in political science/pre-law at Cal
U. After graduation he worked in the mortgage industry
in Las Vegas, Nev., and held a finance position at the
Bellagio Resort and Casino before returning to
Pennsylvania.
The move was a return home for Hereda, a native of
Camp Hill, Pa. Although a declining housing market
prompted the change, it helped him to re-evaluate his
career goals.
“I had lost my definition of success and might have
been too worried about my career and money,” said
Hereda, who also holds an MBA in international
finance from the Keller Graduate School of
Management at DeVry University.
“I believe there’s a deeper connection to success. I
ask you to help others and to make a positive impact on
someone else’s life.”
As a Cal U undergraduate, Hereda was a member of
the University Honors Program, president of Student
Government and president of the board of directors for
the Student Association Inc. He served for three years
as the student member of the University’s Council of
Trustees.
A co-founder of Cal Campaign Consultants, a
multidisciplinary organization that teaches students the
basics of professionalizing campaigns, he was a
member of honors fraternities Phi Sigma Pi, Pi Sigma
Alpha and Phi Alpha Theta.
Hereda praised his Honors Program thesis adviser,
political science professor Dr. Melanie Blumberg, and
said he developed many deep-seated relationships at
Cal U.
“Through my leadership roles here I learned to help

advance Cal U. … It was my goal to foster success at
the University level,” he said.
He also congratulated the family and friends of the
Presidential Scholars, noting that their support has a
positive influence on the students’ success.
Hereda has been a generous benefactor to the
University, as well as a member of the Alumni
Association Board of Directors. He has established the
Jesse G. Hereda Honors Scholarship, which is awarded
to students enrolled in Cal U’s Honors Program.
“Cal U has prepared us all for success, and it’s our
job to implement that success,” Hereda told the
scholars.
Before Hereda’s address, Interim University
President Geraldine M. Jones congratulated the nearly

400 undergraduate and graduate students who were
honored at the convocation.
In addition to meeting other requirements,
undergraduate Presidential Scholars must maintain a
grade-point average of 3.25 or higher, and graduate
students must have a GPA of 3.75 or higher.
“Your intellectual prowess, your diligence and your
work ethic have led you to this special gathering,”
President Jones told the students.
“I encourage each of you to learn lessons not only
in the classroom, but from every person you meet and
every experience in your life. … If you can realize the
full measure of your abilities, you will change the lives
of the people around you — and I have no doubt that
you will change things for the better.”

Steelers vs. All-Stars Basketball
Game Sparks Coaching Rivalry
here will be plenty of action on
the court when the Cal U AllStars challenge the Steelers
Footballers Basketball Team, but the
campus crowd will be keeping an eye
on the sidelines during the Red &
Black Game at 8 p.m. May 2 in the
Convocation Center arena.
The University’s interim president,
Geraldine M. Jones, will be coaching
the Cal U All-Stars. And her husband,
Jeff Jones, will be coaching the
Steelers players.
“I may not know basketball
strategy, but I do know our Cal U AllStars. They have the skill and the will
to win!” said President Jones.
“I’m so confident in our team’s
ability to win,” said Jeff Jones, “that in
the unlikely event we lose, I will let
Gerri shave off my mustache at midcourt immediately after the game.”
While this good-natured rivalry
plays out on the benches, teams
comprising Cal U students, faculty and
staff will face the Steelers Footballers
in four rounds of fast-paced basketball
action.
Steelers players will sign
autographs for 10 minutes during halftime. More entertainment is planned
for intermissions, and refreshments
will be available for purchase.
Ticket price is $7 for general
admission or $15 for courtside VIP
seating. Tickets will be sold at the

Spring Finale is Actors’ ‘Dream’
he Department of Theatre and Dance will cast
a theatrical spell when it presents “A
Midsummer Night’s Dream,” the final

This whimsical play by William Shakespeare
portrays the adventures of four young Athenian lovers

manipulated by mischievous fairies in the forest.
One of Shakespeare’s most popular works, the
play is suitable for audiences of all ages.
“Everyone has been working very hard to make
Shakespeare understandable for the audience through
their acting, since the words are sometimes hard to
understand,” said Kellee Cohlhepp, the production’s
stage manager.
“It’s going great. This show is not your grandma’s
