Once a Beloiter, always a Beloiter

Hello Beloiters!

They raised a glass at C-Haus, visited classes, marched in the parade, and celebrated their accomplishments together. More than 400 alumni spent their weekend reconnecting with old friends and celebrating their shared histories as Beloiters. Beloiter Days celebrated the reunion classes of 1973 (50th), 1998 (25th) and 2013 (10th). Even the first pups had their moment, with a meet-and-greet Saturday afternoon before the evening’s final event, a dinner bash at the Powerhouse followed by drinks, dancing, and dessert.

Receiving honors were Kidan Araya’13, who received the Young Alumni Award; and Jessica Fox-Wilson’98 and Al Gerhardstein’73, who received Distinguished Service Citations, and the former college editor, Susan Kasten, who was made an honorary alumna. The late Dawn Sturdevant Baum’98 also was honored with a Distinguished Service Citation posthumously; her younger brother, Jake Swamp, received the award on her behalf.

In addition, the college inducted four new members into the Buccaneers’ Hall of Honor during the weekend. The 2023 class includes Derek Carrier’12, Angela Molnar’03, Scott Schleich’93, and Shelly Wiegel’94.

Impact Beloit offers three more paid internships at top Beloit-area companies.

VP for Career Development Tim Leslie is looking for three high-achieving juniors or seniors to work 8 to10 hours/week ($18-20/hour) from Oct. 30 through April (subject to all school breaks). Students will work with both Leslie and a Beloit alum, gaining invaluable work experience and making key connections in the business world. 

Based on their skills and interests, students will have a range of roles to choose from: project management, product management, technology/engineering (programming and other), human resources, finance, legal, marketing, and operations based on skills and interest.

Students could earn up to 1.5 units (0.5 for fall 2nd mod and 1.0 for spring semester).

Take advantage of this opportunity to set you on a fulfilling career path. Apply by sending your resume to Leslie at lesliejt@beloit.edu.

Improving patient satisfaction at a summer internship

Sadeen Alsabbagh’24 knew she wanted to make the most of the summer before her senior year. She found what she was looking for with the Information Systems team at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

The Strength to Go Far

As a strength and conditioning coach, Shaakira Hassell’00 has endured sexism and racism to follow her passion. That determination has led to a stint leading the U.S. Coast Guard Academy strength and conditioning program, training work with military special forces, and a 2018 fellowship with the NFL’s Carolina Panthers.
