Steve Logue, summer intern in the college's development office, is no stranger to hard work. Since taking his first job as a paper carrier in second grade, he has always held a job. The lessons he has learned from each experience have been invaluable, but none more than his work at Lion Line. The Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania, native has raised over $25,000 for Penn State programs after a year at the call center. His work at Lion Line motivated the rising senior to apply to the Division of Development and Alumni Relations internship. He plans to pursue a career in university development or become a college professor (or maybe both at some point).
Majoring in Communications Arts and Sciences with a minor in Psychology, Steve brings great communication skills and an important student persepecitve to the office. He is visiting alumni with directors - experienceing the travel aspect of the job and meeting our loyal alumni. By learning about the endowments, he's also learning about the importance of stewardship. As a student, Steve brings experience in reaching our young alumni and students by encouraging them to designate their senior class gift to the college. Of course, with our crew, he's also getting an education in teamwork, the importance of humor in the workplace, and coffee-runs to the Berkey Creamery.
"I really appreciate the enthusiasm of our development staff," said Steve. "All of this is new to me, and it's great to know that there are people in each college working so hard to raise money for students."
