Westminster College Offers "Let's Do Lunch" for Students

Westminster College students are invited to "do lunch" with Dan Vogler, Lawrence County Commissioner and 1981 Westminster graduate, Monday, Nov. 8, from noon-1 p.m. in the Orchard Street Cafe© located in the McKelvey Campus Center.

 Vogler has been site manager for the Lawrence County Career Link, director of governmental affairs for Penn Power, executive director of the United Way of Lawrence County, legislative aid for Senators Tom Andrews and Tim Shaffer, and a Neshannock Township Supervisor.

 Vogler has also been a member of numerous non-profit organization including: the Lawrence County Tourist Promotion Agency Board of Directors, Lark Enterprises Board of Directors, Jameson Care Center Board of Directors, Lawrence County Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors, Lawrence County Foundation Board of Directors, Pittsburgh Regional Alliance Board of Directors, Lawrence County Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors, Lawrence County Council of Governments Board of Directors, Southwestern Pennsylvania Growth Alliance Steering Committee, Regional Industrial Development Corporation of Southwest Pennsylvania Board of Directors, and the Lawrence County Planning Commission.

 "Any student interested in a career in government or lobbying or the lifestyle of an active member of our community would find talking to Dan worthwhile," said Kathleen Edmiston, assistant to the director of the Westminster Career Center. 

 Westminster College brings in special guests to have lunch and meet with students several times during the academic year.

 "Last year we had four "Let's Do Lunch Programs," Edmiston said. "Our students who attend these lunches really enjoy the informed atmosphere, which stimulates great questions and conversation.  They can talk informally over lunch with interesting people.  It's a chance to learn about their careers, educations, lifestyles and them."

 Last year's guess included Dr. Lynne McCrillis, a pediatrician from the Greenville Medical Center; Carmen Piccirillo, chief of the New Wilmington Police Department; Chuck Waugaman, Ph.D., senior mechanical engineer for General Electric Transportation Systems and Rail; and Brian Lohr, senior associate director of admissions at Notre Dame University and 1984 Westminster graduate.
