From The President’s Desk

Fall 2023

Moravian Greyhound family and friends,
The campus is abuzz with the largest incoming class in Moravian’s history, and Mo and Benny are ecstatically welcoming all the new Hounds. We are finalizing the details of the new Haupert Union Building. So, while everything seems to be in a state of renewal, I am delighted to introduce the redesign of Moravian University Magazine. Our editorial team has meticulously worked to ensure that the aesthetics and content of the magazine resonate with the values and branding of our cherished institution.

We are pleased to announce the addition of more interactive features, providing new opportunities for our alumni to engage with the magazine and our broader community. We want our alumni to contribute as writers. For example, Ask an Alum will be a recurring column in each issue, featuring the wisdom, insights, and Moravian memories of our alumni in response to various queries. Your participation is encouraged and indeed necessary for the column’s success. I had the privilege of writing about Mo for the inaugural Hounds of Moravian column featured on the back page, which honors both two-legged and four-legged members of our extended Moravian family.

Moreover, we are proud to introduce a comprehensive digital edition of the magazine, accessible through the Moravian University website. This digital version offers a rich, interactive experience and allows for broader distribution and immediate access. 

In terms of frequency, the magazine will continue to be published in both fall and spring, with print and digital editions available. During the summer months, acknowledging our community may be vacationing and busy with family commitments and outdoor activities, only the digital version—accessible anywhere, anytime on a phone or laptop—will be provided. This strategic shift enables us to expand the print magazine to 64 pages, further elevating its quality. The paper we’ve chosen is FSC certified, and with an average print run of 20,500 copies, the digital summer edition saves 1,066,000 pages annually, reflecting our commitment to sustainability.

These changes put into action the words in our mission statement to “provide transformational leadership in a world of change”; we are committed to adapting and growing. Rest assured, the essence of what makes Moravian unique, the Moravian community, remains steadfast.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement with Moravian University. We look forward to your feedback and your writings as we collectively embrace this new chapter of Moravian University Magazine.

Why I Play

“I’m a sprinter. No room for mistakes. In the water, everything is quiet. It’s just you, and you’re staring down at the line, and you think, Go, go, go!”

Finding His Natural Fit

Dwight Holloway ’24 never imagined he’d be doing research in Costa Rica.

Ask an Alum

What was your favorite meal, dish, or specialty menu at the dining hall when you were a student at Moravian?

Chicken in any form—nuggets, tenders, patties—had respondents salivating as they typed their answers. Midnight Oasis (an ongoing tradition) got rave reviews. And if you wanted a delicious made-to-order meal, Clewell was (and is) the place to dine. Thirty-nine alums shared their food favorites.
