Today’s Honoree

On Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012, Professor David Miller ’61 did what he has been doing for the past 50 years – he taught students. No professor in the history of Thiel College has taught more classes, advised more students or has a longer continuous service record that Prof. Miller. Dave is a leader among the faculty, mentor to colleagues, advocate for students and a passionate supporter of Thiel College.

Miller is the first professor to hold an endowed academic chair at Thiel. He is the 1990 recipient of the Sears-Roebuck Teaching Excellence and Campus Leadership Award and, in 1999, he received the Service to Thiel Award from the Thiel Alumni Association. Professor Miller has also served as the Director of the Haller Enterprise Institute since its inception. Dave’s passion for entrepreneurial education and his work with that program has inspired students to achieve their own entrepre-neurial goals.

Dave and Ruth Miller’s connection to Thiel is lifelong and extends beyond Dave’s work in the classroom. They are frequent attendees at cultural and sporting events. Dave and Ruth’s children, Joy ’90 and Michael ’92, are graduates of Thiel and share their father’s commitment and passion for the institution.

Dave also serves on a variety of regional boards, including the Mercer County Historical Society, an organization he has been president of and worked with for more than 35 years. Today we honor and celebrate one of the most beloved members of the Thiel College Community, Professor David Miller ’61.

Dr. Troy D. VanAken took office as the 19th president of Thiel Col-lege in July of 2009, after being elected by the College Board of Trust-ees at a special meeting on February 20.

VanAken, who came to Thiel from Albion College in Albion, Mich., holds a bachelor’s degree from Hillsdale College, and master’s and doctorate degrees from Bowling Green State University. A native of Michigan, his career in higher education began in 1994 when he was

appointed assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Evansville and where he was later selected as assistant vice president for instructional technology. In 1999, Albion College named him vice president for information technology. After working at San Jose State University during 2002–03 through an American Council on Education Fellowship, VanAken returned to Albion with expanded responsibilities as athletic director and executive assistant to the president, and eventually vice president for business and finance. VanAken participated in Harvard Univer-sity’s Institute for Educational Management in 2005 and was named Albion’s executive vice presi-dent in 2006.

In addition to experience as a high school football and track coach, VanAken has served on committees of both the NCAA and Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Recently, he was appointed to represent the Presidents’ Athletic Conference on the NCAA Division III Chancellor/ Presidents Advisory Group. He is active in economic and community development projects and has started three successful technology related companies.

VanAken and his wife, Annette, have two children, Trey and Gabriella.

Jack Leipheimer ’74 took over as Thiel College’s director of athlet-ics on Nov. 17, 2008. He currently oversees Thiel’s 24 competitive athletics programs, 22 of which are associated with the NCAA at the Division III level.

A coaching veteran of 34 years – including 25 at the collegiate level – Leipheimer returned to Thiel as its head football coach in 2001 and promptly guided the program to national prominence. His 2005 team compiled an 11-1 record and drew two NCAA playoff games to Alumni Stadium.

Over his eight seasons at the helm of the football program, Leipheimer amassed 36 wins – which ties for third most all-time in school history – including a NCAA Division III playoff win in 2005. Under his tutelage, Thiel players earned 114 all-conference selections, 17 all-region selec-tions and 10 All-America selections. He also coached five ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Amer-icans – a testament to his emphasis on academic excellence. Leipheimer continues to stress the importance of academic and athletic success to Thiel’s student-athletes as he oversees the day-to-day operations of the athletic department. In addition, Leipheimer’s focus on fund-raising efforts supports Thiel’s entire athletics program, which includes more than 40 coaches and staff members and over 300 student-athletes.

Jack and his wife, Patti, reside in Greenville. They have two daughters: Shanna Bossler, a 2002 Thiel graduate and Krista Ferguson, a 2005 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh.

Kurt reiser enters his fourth season as the head coach

after being named the 25th head coach in thiel college football history on nov. 16, 2008. a member of the coach-ing staff in various capacities under JacK leipheimer for eight seasons, reiser most recently served as assistant head coach and offensive coordinator for the tomcats.

As a member of the Thiel coaching staff, Reiser has been no stranger to success.

As the team’s offensive line coach from 2001 to 2006, Reiser men-tored eight Tomcats to a com-bined 19 All-Presidents’ Athletic Conference selections. Two players – Dave Hendricks and Bob Munch – were four-time selections.

In Thiel’s 11-win 2005 campaign, the Reiser-led offensive line played an integral part in securing the pro-gram’s first PAC title since 1972 and its first undefeated regular season since 1950. Five members of that unit were named to the All-PAC team, with two garnering first team honors.

While Hendricks turned in one of the best seasons of all time for a Thiel of-fensive lineman, earning AFCA first team and D3 Football.com first team All-America honors in addition to being named the Don Hansen Football Gazette National Offensive Lineman of the Year and earning an invitation to participate in the Aztec Bowl, the O-line as a whole paved the way for a

potent Tomcat attack.

Over the course of the 2005 season, Reiser’s line allowed only seven sacks in the regular season and aided in es-tablishing Steve Minton as the school’s all-time leading rusher and Darrell Satterfield and Brandon Chambers as one of the most prolific quarterback-receiver duos in school history.

After being named offensive coordina-tor prior to the 2007 season, Reiser has called the shots for several of the most impressive offensive displays in Thiel football annals.

In his inaugural season as the Tomcats’ offensive play-caller, running back Dan Hess set three school records in one day, racking up 327 yards and 30 points on 43 rushes in a 62-14 drubbing of Saint Vincent College. The next season quarterback Willie Bova conducted a similar assault on Thiel passing records against the Bearcats, completing 32 of 63 passes for 374 yards (all three are school records) and three scores.

Prior to arriving at Thiel, Reiser was the offensive coordinator at Leyden High School in Chicago for six years. A 1993 Allegheny graduate, he earned his master’s degree from DePaul Univer-sity in 1997. With the Gators, where he played under then-assistant coach Leipheimer, Reiser was a three-year starter at tight end and was a two-time All-NCAC selection and an All-Amer-ican. Reiser was also a starter on the Gators’ 1990 National Championship team.

He and his wife, Nancy, have three chil-dren: Ben, Ethan, and Ellie.

ABOUT THE PAC

Founded in 1955, the Presidents’ Ath-letic Conference continues its mission

of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence.

Comprised of 10 select private colleges - Bethany College, Chatham University, Geneva College, Grove City College, Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Thomas More College, Washing-ton and Jefferson College, Waynesburg University and Westminster College - the PAC rema in s a unique organi-zation in this day of high pres-sure intercol-legiate athletics. With academics at the center of each member’s philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that an ath-letic program is a part of college life, but not an entity in itself.

The PAC expanded to seven members in 2005 with the addition of Thomas More, formerly an NCAA Division III indepen-dent. Saint Vincent College, a former NAIA member, joined the conference as it began provisional membership status in NCAA Division III in 2006-07. Another former NAIA member, Geneva College, became the conference’s ninth member and began league play as it started NCAA Division III provisional membership in 2007-08. Cha-tham College became the league’s 10th member, also in 2007-08.

The PAC annually crowns champions in 19 sports. PAC championship teams receive automatic qualification (AQ) status for most NCAA Division III national champi-onship events.

All-conference status is awarded in all 19 sports. Head coaches select all-league squads for all team sports, while in indi-

vidual sports such as cross country and tennis, All-PAC accolades are

based upon performances at the conference

championships.

The PAC an-nually awards its men’s and women’s All-Sports Tro-phies to the

schools which perform best

across the board in PAC competition.

The Washington & Jef-ferson College men and

Westminster College women captured the 2011-12 trophies.

True to its mission, the PAC has produced numerous Academic All-Americans and NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners. Last year, the league named 735 student-athletes to the PAC Academic Honor Roll, which recognizes all participating athletes who attain a term grade-point average of 3.60 or above.

TODAY’S GAME NOTESWeek 2 - Rochester 17, Thiel 7ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Thiel Tomcats fell to 0-2 Saturday after suffering a 17-7 loss to the Univer-sity of Rochester Yellowjackets.

Thiel fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter on a pair of Dean Kennedy touchdown passes. Kennedy’s first TD pass, a 19-yarder to Chris Lebano, came on Rochester’s first drive of the game. His second TD pass was a 50-yarder to Garrett Kesel with a little more than three minutes remaining in the first quarter.

The Tomcats refused to give in and, on their sec-ond offensive drive in the second half, embarked on a 13-play march that consumed six minute and 23 seconds and ended with a 1-yard Taylor Fink touchdown run. Cody McClelland tacked on the extra point and the Tomcats trailed by just seven points with nearly 19 minutes remaining in the contest.

Fink paced Thiel’s touchdown drive, picking up a trio of first downs on runs of 3-, 7- and 1-yard. Quarterback Andrew Smith also completed a clutch 18-yard pass to Berend Grube in a third-and-two situation from the Rochester 19-yard line to set up Fink’s touchdown run.

The Tomcat offense pieced together another long drive in the fourth quarter, but it fizzled out at the Rochester 26-yard line when Smith’s fourth down pass intended for Grube fell incomplete.

Rochester added three crucial points with 2:34 remaining in the game on a 40-yard field goal by Alex Antonucci.

Fink was Thiel’s top runner with 60 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. Lebano led the Yellow-jackets on the ground with 79 yards on 24 carries.

Smith completed 17 of 31 passes for 128 yards. Kennedy connected on 11 of 17 passes for 151 yards and a pair of touchdown lobs.

McClelland had a nice day punting. He averaged 42.3 yards per punt with a long of 51 yards and one punt that was downed inside the 20-yard line.

Sophomore linebacker Tom Thorpe led Thiel’s defense with nine tackles, 2.5 of which were for a loss.

In all, the Tomcat defense recorded eight tackles for loss and four sacks against the Yellowjackets.

Thiel v. Geneva HistoryThiel is 10-24-3 all-time against Geneva. The

Golden Tornadoes, who have won the last four contests, beat the Tomcats 50-31 last season. Thiel’s last win in the series was a 7-0 road victory in 2006. The first game between the two teams was in 1899. Thiel won that game, 6-5.

Tackling in the PACThiel linebacker Ethan Ludwig’s 16 tackles tie him for 11th most in the PAC.

DisciplineThe Tomcats are the second least penalized team in the PAC. Thiel has six penalties in two games for 53 yards.

Top of the ConferenceThiel defensive backs Marshaun Hainesworth and Rob Edwards are at amongst the leaders in the PAC with three break ups apiece.

Sack MastersThiel’s defense has racked up seven sacks, which is the most among all PAC teams.

Fink Among BestTomcat running back Taylor Fink has the third most rushing yards (175) in the PAC. Fink has also scored three touchdowns on the ground.

Taylor UpdateSenior defensive end Tim Taylor recorded one tackle for a loss last Saturday, which moved him into second place on Thiel’s career tackles for loss list (46.5). Taylor also notched one sack to move into a fourth-place tie on Thiel’s career sack list (22).
