Operations division’s focus on unreasonable hospitality

The Department of Safety recently hosted its annual Safety Day as part of October’s campus safety awareness initiative. The event aimed to equip students with practical tools to protect themselves and others, while connecting them with local and campus safety resources. Students had the opportunity to meet first responders from the Upper Allen Police Department, the Cumberland County Special Response Team (SRT), the Upper Allen fire Department, the 911 Dispatch Center, and Domestic Violence Services of Cumberland and Perry County. On-campus participants included the fire and safety systems coordinator, campus and building services, the title IX coordinator, and Messiah’s campus confidential resource.

Safety Day fosters student empowerment by helping them build awareness, take proactive steps to stay safe both on and off campus, and access vital support when needed. Student education extends beyond academics, and we strive to demonstrate unreasonable hospitality by equipping students with confidence and agency to speak up for themselves and others.

A heartfelt thank you to all who participated and to the students who stopped by to learn, ask questions, and engage in building a safer campus community.

Central Pennsylvania Forum for Religion and Science presents fall speaker event

Thursday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. in Frey Hall, Alexander Auditorium (Frey 110)

Please join us as the Central Pa Forum for Religion and Science welcomes Rebecca Harris, assistant professor of biblical and religious studies at Messiah University, to deliver a talk entitled “On Earth as it is in Heaven: Synchronizing Time in the Dead Sea Scrolls”

Abstract: Mircea Eliade famously distinguished between sacred and profane (or ordinary) times, arguing that the religious person lives in both times simultaneously. Within this simultaneity, there are varying degrees to which a religious person may embrace the rhythms of sacred or mundane times. For members of the Dead Sea Scrolls sect, the regular, frequent practice of sacred time—synchronizing the activities of the religious community with the worship of angels in the heavenly temple—created a space for liminal experience and ontological transformation. In this presentation, Dr. Rebecca Harris discusses how the cognitive dimensions of religious experience and frequent ritual activity might have shaped the angelic aspirations of the Dead Sea Scrolls sectarians.

Messiah University retirement plan notification

Dear Participant:

*Important information about your retirement plan is now available. Please review this information. *

Messiah University is providing the attached documents, as required by law, to all participants and employees with balances in our Messiah University Defined Contribution Retirement Plan. The attached plan amendment items include:

$7,000 mandatory cash-out contribution limit à Former Messiah employees with an account balance of less than a $7,000 (previously $5,000), who are not otherwise in an active distribution of benefits, must rollover or take a distribution of funds from their account. Former employees with more than a $7,000 balance remaining in TIAA and/or more than a $7,000 balance remaining in The Standard are NOT impacted by this change and no action is required. Current employees are NOT impacted by this change and no action is required.
Age 60-63 additional catch-up contribution limit à Active Messiah employees meeting the age conditions may elect for additional contributions up to this additional limit which supersedes the age 50+ catch-up contribution limit.
Required minimum distributions (RMD) à The required age for starting RMDs is now 73 for participants no longer employed by Messiah.
Long-term, part-time (LTPT) employee à because Messiah already permits active employees to participate in deferring income for retirement regardless of annual hours, this new regulation will not affect any active Messiah employee. This regulation is not applicable to former Messiah employees.

These documents are available by accessing the “Human Resources Benefits Documentation” card on FalconLink. These documents are not required to be available on the website for more than one year or, if later, after it is superseded by a newer version.

Messiah University’s Department of Theatre and Dance presents Nunsense

Messiah University’s Department of Theatre and Dance is pleased to present the musical comedy Nunsense, in Poorman Black Box Theater, as our first production of the 2025-2026 season!

Nunsense

Book, music and lyrics by Dan Goggin

Directed by Ed Cohn

Musical direction by Caleb Stelle

*Oct. 9 at 10 a.m. special school series performance

Recommended for high school audiences

Poorman Black Box Theater, Climenhaga Building

The Little Sisters of Hoboken, residents of Mt. St. Helens Convent and teachers at the school, have a problem. It seems Sister Julia (Child of God) has accidentally killed off 52 sisters with a botulism-laced soup. But even worse, the remaining nuns only had enough cash to bury 48 of the dearly departed; the other four are in the freezer. The Little Sisters must raise money for a proper burial before the health inspector comes!

The nuns, written affectionately by Goggin, a lifelong devout Catholic, and portrayed with equal joy, are depicted as people who had lives before their decisions to enter the convent. Their identities, who they are now and who they have been, are key, especially considering one nun who does not remember her past life due to an accident! One wanted to be a star, another wanted to be a ballet dancer. Yet they all gave up those dreams and devoted themselves to the Church.

Estimated run time: 2 hours and 10 minutes, including one 10- minute intermission.

Tickets: $15—Adults; $12—MU students (w/ID), MU employees (w/ID), youth (under 18) and seniors (60+) Tickets can be purchased online at messiah.edu/tickets, by phone at 717-691-6036, or at the door as available. Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more.

NUNSENSE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com

Reconciling Order and Disorder: Panel Discussion on Erik Varden’s Chastity
Wednesday, Oct. 15, 5-6 p.m., Boyer 131.

The Christian writer Erik Varden writes: “The way to order, for most of us, goes through disorder; to try to sidestep it is to risk sidestepping life.” What does this mean? How might order and disorder be reconciled in this way? A panel of Messiah alums and faculty invite you to participate in a conversation about these other important questions raised by Erik Varden in his book Chastity: Reconciliation of the Senses. Varden’s is one of the most thought-provoking Christian books published in recent years. It’s at the same time profound and quite practical for any Christian seeking to the follow the path of discipleship. Come and join in the conversation about the book with Scott Endicott (’13), Christine Bye (’21), Grant Holbrook, Christine Perrin and Jim LaGrand. Open to all members of the university community and the public. Part of the University Honors Program’s series this year on the theme of reconciliation.

Course materials delivered with Unreasonable Hospitality

This summer, the Division of Operations leadership team chose to embrace the concept of Unreasonable Hospitality which challenges each member of the team to use their creativity and resources to go above and beyond for those we serve. To celebrate this initiative, the Campus Store team created a prayer card insert to place in each of the 1,266 packages of fall course materials that were delivered to campus residences (at no additional cost) as part of our Slingshot Choice program.

It read: We prayed for you as we picked, processed, and packed your order today, asking God to give you wisdom, strength, and endurance for the upcoming term. We hope everything you do–in the classroom, around campus, and beyond–brings glory, honor, and praise to the Giver of all knowledge. We are cheering you on, fellow Falcon, and are so glad you’re here. Have a productive semester and let us know how we can help you soar! “Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test my heart and my mind. For your loyal love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness.” Psalm 26:2-3

During fulfillment season we asked our staff to stay mindful of each person whose order they had a part in fulfilling. The night before the pallets were deployed for delivery, we prayed over those packages again asking the Lord to bless the recipients and to empower us to exceed expectations while supporting student success.

“Forgiveness in the Face of Evil: The Amish at Nickel Mines”

Tuesday, Sept. 16 at 4:30 p.m. in Boyer 237.

In 2006, a gunman entered a one-room Amish school in Lancaster County, where he shot ten girls, killing five of them. The Amish response, which focused on forgiving the gunman and caring for his family, caught the world’s attention, but it also raised questions about the nature of forgiveness, its possibilities, and its limits. Dr. Weaver-Zercher’s presentation will review that event and consider the questions the Amish response raises for the rest of us.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Best in Track Paper Award
Professor of Marketing David Hagenbuch recently presented a paper, “How Mere Exposure to Ethical Issues Increases Marketers’ Moral Dissonance,” at the American Marketing Association’s Summer Academic Conference in Chicago. The paper was based on research he conducted with Dorene Ciletti of Point Park University and RJ Thompson of the University of Pittsburgh. Their study included one of the most comprehensive surveys ever of ethical issues in marketing. Over 300 respondents, all AMA members, indicated the extent to which they believed 93 unique statements represented moral issues for the field. Moreover, pretest – posttest components found that just being exposed to the issues led to a significant change in marketers’ desires for their discipline to better address the ethical concerns. The paper was awarded Best in Track Paper – Ethics, Privacy, and Cross-Industry Collaborations.

“1925 and All That: Fundamentalists, Modernists, and the Scopes Trial on the Occasion of its 100th Anniversary”

Wednesday, Sept. 10 at 7:30 p.m. in Frey 110 In the spring of 1925, rookie teacher John Scopes agreed to stand trial for teaching evolution in a Tennessee high school, to test the constitutionality of the new law. Using powerful cartoon images and popular religious pamphlets from the period, Dr. Davis’ talk shows why teaching evolution was so controversial among traditional Christians, describes how liberal Protestants responded to science, and introduces some alternative perspectives from prominent Christian voices today. Dr. Edward (Ted) Davis has written many books and articles about Christianity and science in the Scientific Revolution and modern America, most recently: Protestant Modernist Pamphlets: Science and Religion in the Scopes Era (Johns Hopkins, 2024). He was an advisor for exhibits at the National Museum of American History and the Museum of the Bible. Sponsored by the Honors Program.

A Year of Focus on Unreasonable Hospitality

This year, the Division of Operations has embraced Unreasonable Hospitality as our guiding theme. To learn more about the inspiration behind this idea, we invite you to watch Will Guidara’s TED Talk The Secret Ingredients of Great Hospitality | Will Guidara | TED.

At its core, this theme reflects our commitment to ensuring every person feels seen, heard, valued and—whenever possible—enjoys a memorable experience. Each department within the division has developed specific goals to help bring this vision to life.

Recently, Dwayne Magee, director of print and mail services, shared his perspective in a blog post for IPMA, an organization in which he is an active leader. You can read his piece here: In-Plant Success: Leading with Hospitality By Dwayne Magee.

In the weeks and months ahead, division directors will be sharing examples of how their teams are embodying Unreasonable Hospitality in their daily work. Our hope is that every student, employee and guest who interacts with Messiah University experiences the genuine care of our community. While we won’t be perfect, we are deeply committed to practicing and growing in this theme together.

At times you may see an employee wearing a t-shirt with the question- ask me why I am unreasonable – I would encourage you to do so! If you see an operations staff member demonstrating Unreasonable Hospitality and would like to have the division celebrate it, please email us at operations@messiah.edu. Throughout the year, we will recognize our staff at two special events.

With gratitude,
Kathie Shafer
Vice President of Operations
