Why It’s So Cool to Work at a University

Our division had a holiday party in the alumni center’s Robb Hall this afternoon, and to my surprise, we had entertainment—in the form of Richard Kennedy singing holiday music while accompanied on piano by Tony Leach. So I ran upstairs and grabbed my camera.
Richard Kennedy is a wonderful tenor who teaches in the School of Music; I sing in the State College Choral Society and we’ve sometimes had Richard as a soloist for our concerts. Tony Leach is also a faculty member in the School of Music and the director of the highly regarded student group Essence of Joy. We’ve talked as a staff several times about doing a story in the magazine on Essence of Joy; we just haven’t moved it up to the front burner or even figured out exactly what our approach to the story would be. One of these days….
Anyway, just a nice treat, and a reminder of what a great workplace a university can be.

Tony Leach and Richard Kennedy were indeed a lovely holiday treat.
This Division of Development and Alumni Relations really keeps staff in touch with the people that make the University so special.
