STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Orrin Milcic ’26

Thursday, January 22, 2026

Last summer, Orrin Milcic didn’t just study history—he lived it. From cataloging artifacts and supporting museum events to learning the day-to-day realities of museum work (and even getting behind the wheel of a Model T), Milcic gained hands-on experience during an internship with the Antique Auto Museum in Hershey, Pa. The opportunity was made possible by the support of alumnus Jon Seltenheim ’75 and Westminster’s History Alumni Advisory Council. A senior history major with a minor in secondary education from Butler, Pa., Milcic is also a member of the Westminster men’s soccer team and serves as a representative on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. His experience reflects both his passion for history and his long-term goal of educating others.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: Bethany Wentz '05

Wednesday, January 7, 2026

When Bethany (Grubbs) Wentz graduated from Westminster in 2005, she carried with her a sense of calling to serve college students. Though her journey beyond Mother Fair unfolded in unexpected ways, the years that followed were rich with purpose, shaped by work in social services, the experience of raising six children, and faithful service in Honduras, where she helped establish a nonprofit dedicated to providing humanitarian programs for families and children. Nearly two decades later, those experiences and guided by faith, have brought Wentz back to Westminster. As assistant director of the TRIO Scholars Program, she now walks alongside students, offering support, encouragement, and opportunity as they navigate college life and prepare for the paths ahead.
