For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.

Student successfully passes CFA Level I exam

Congratulations to Levi Greenly, a senior finance major in the Department of Business, for successfully passing Level I of the CFA (chartered financial analyst) exam. Over 250,000 candidates sat for the CFA exams worldwide and the pass rate for Level I was only 41%. Levi’s test score placed him well above the 90th percentile for all the candidates who took the Level I exam in June. The 6-hour exam covered topics in economics, statistics, accounting, corporate finance, equity/fixed income analysis and derivatives. Messiah College has been a member of the CFA University Affiliation program since 2018, which enabled Levi to receive a full scholarship to take the exam. We wish Levi continued success as he moves on to Level II of the exam!

Training provided at Messiah for volunteers in church-based ESL programs

Last week Dr. Jan Dormer provided two full days of training for volunteers in church-based ESL programs. Many adult immigrants rely on the free ESL classes provided by churches, and yet churches often do not have personnel trained in TESOL to run and teach in these programs. Training sessions such as this one can help to fill the gap, by providing some information about teaching and learning English for volunteers in such programs. We had 23 participants, for two days of intensive training. Messiah College is pleased to play a small role in the service churches are providing for their local immigrant communities.

2. Dogs are NOT permitted in any campus building.
3. Dogs are permitted on the Cumberland County side ONLY of the Yellow Breeches. This is the side where all the academic buildings are located.
4. DOGS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THE STARRY FIELD SIDE AT ANY TIME; this includes being on any of the athletic fields and in the parking lot areas, including Treona.
5. All handlers are to clean up after their dogs at all times.

As a reminder, Monaghan Township has a township ordinance related to dogs running at large on property not belonging to the owner/handler. The Department of Safety will be monitoring Starry Field and if dogs and handlers are found, you will be asked to leave the Starry Field area.

Dogs on campus

Messiah is a beautiful, open campus with lots of green space which provides a wonderful area for dog owners to walk their dogs. However, there are rules pertaining to having a dog on campus.

1. All dogs MUST be leashed at all times; they are not permitted to be left running at large at any time.
2. Dogs are NOT permitted in any campus building.
3. Dogs are permitted on the Cumberland county side ONLY of the Yellow Breeches. This is the side where all the academic buildings are located.
4. DOGS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THE STARRY FIELD SIDE AT ANY TIME; this includes being on any of the athletic fields and in the parking lot areas, including Treona.
5. All handlers are to clean up after their dogs at all times.

Exemption:  If the dog is a service dog or an emotional support animal, the above rules in reference to location areas do not apply.

As a reminder, Monaghan Township has a township ordinance related to dogs running at large on property not belonging to the owner/handler. The Department of Safety will be monitoring Starry Field and if dogs and handlers are found, you will be asked to leave the Starry Field area.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Department of Safety at 717-691-6005. Thank you for helping us keep our grounds and athletic fields looking beautiful.
