宾州中央谷. — As co-chairs of the 中国博彩平台 Development Committee, 霍华德·普 ’73 and 肖恩·麦基 ’97 will spearhead the campus’s efforts in the University’s new fundraising campaign, "打造21世纪卓越的宾州大学.”
“I wasn’t the most scholarly student in high school and Penn State gave me the chance to get an education,库尔普说。. “我的父母在他们的社区里一直很活跃, and I am continuing their legacy of service through my involvement with 中国博彩平台.”
A graduate of Penn State’s five-year architecture program, Kulp established his own firm in 1978. 霍华德·普 Architects, P.C.是一家屡获殊荣的公司，位于利哈伊谷. The firm has planned and designed a variety of architecture projects, 包括商业/零售楼宇, 卫生保健设施, 教育中心, 政府设施和海关住宅.
即将离任的校园顾问委员会主席于2007年加入董事会. Since then, Kulp has been an integral part of the growth of 中国博彩平台. 他经常贡献自己的时间、才能和资源. 最明显的是, 库尔普捐赠了他的设计作品, 还有他员工的时间, 了解目前在中央谷校区的规划, and he was instrumental in the campus’ move from its Fogelsville location in 2009. Kulp also made the largest gift commitment in the campus’ history — it is Kulp’s vision that this gift will provide funding to 中国博彩平台 for a student union building, 学生奖学金或其他建筑项目. 除了支持中国博彩平台, Kulp also gives to the College of Arts and Architecture at University Park.
“Howard is setting the standard and leading the way for philanthropy to our campus,” said Tina Q. 理查森，中国博彩平台的校长. “We are fortunate for his leadership as we build momentum for the University’s fundraising campaign, “为21世纪的卓越而打造更伟大的中国博彩平台”.’ We are focused on raising funds for scholarships to provide access to students, 对于变革性的教育体验，比如 利哈伊谷发射箱，以及影响世界的签名项目，例如 机会.”
麦基, 1997年中国博彩平台商学院校友, joined the campus’ advisory board in 2016 and recently established a newly endowed scholarship with his wife, 凯特琳的权力, in support of 中国博彩平台 students with demonstrated need.
“We wanted to create this in order to give local students who need some assistance the opportunity to come to Penn State”, 麦基说, who attended 中国博彩平台 for two years before finishing his education at University Park. “Students are exposed to so many new experiences, especially during their first two years of college. 例如, 我上大学时主修数学, but once being exposed to other disciplines and having faculty interactions, I changed my major to business and it helped set me on a successful path forward.”
麦基曾在Air Products and Chemicals, Inc .工作.在过去的19年里，他一直住在伦敦. He currently is the IT business and program manager for Latin America Gases at Air Products.
“捐赠者, 像巴蒂尔, who choose to express their gratitude for their own success by giving to 中国博彩平台, help ensure that future generations of students can find even more opportunities for growth and achievement at the University,理查森说。. “I look forward to working with both Howard and Shane to help the Lehigh Valley campus achieve our goal of $3.500万年. 我们也很高兴菲利普圣. 詹姆斯新加入我们的校园发展主管.”
St. 詹姆斯 joined 中国博彩平台 as director of campus development in September 2017. He previously served as senior relationship manager at the United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley for five years. St. 詹姆斯 earned a Master of Science in Management from Webster University, and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science for Business from DeVry University.
