> Board of Directors

The Alumni Association Board of Directors is comprised of representatives from the Alumni Association who are elected to serve a three-year term and may be re-elected to a second term. In addition, at-large members may be elected whose geographic location prevents them from attending meetings but who are interested in promoting the college in their area. Each board member is assigned to one of five committees as outlined in the Alumni Association By-Laws.

David Hummel '83
At the age of 10 I learned to wiggle my ears. At the age of 18, I enrolled at Thiel College. I successfully graduated in 1983. I worked for H & R Block as a tax preparer and account rep. I began my career as a Federal accountant with the Department of the Army and completed my career with the Department of Energy. I am currently a full time real estate agent with Northwood Realty Services and a property manager. I married my Thiel college sweetheart, Twila and we were blessed with three sons, a dog and a cat. I started raising chickens a few years ago, but the flock is not large enough for be to be considered a chicken farmer. At 52, there are still chapters to be written.
