October is Careers in Student Affairs Month, and we are proud to spotlight Kutztown University alumna Erica Nemitz.

Erica earned her Master's in Higher Education Student Affairs from KU in May 2025 and now serves as an Assistant Director of Residence Life at Lehigh University, where she supervises a staff of 18 Resident Assistants and supports them in growing in their role and implementing the Residential Curriculum. During her time at KU, she served as the graduate assistant for Student Conduct, was Vice President of Chi Sigma Alpha, joined the Alpha Epsilon Lambda honor society, and presented at the PASSHE Conference alongside a classmate.

Erica credits her Student Conduct role with teaching her the value of not taking herself too seriously, noting that humor goes a long way through a busy season in student affairs. Jenni Rach in Student Conduct and Dr. Diane Elliott were mentors who made a lasting impact, and her coursework in advising and counseling with Dr. Jones continues to shape her daily work by teaching her how to meet students where they are. Her advice to current students and recent graduates: embrace the awkward, pursue what interests you even if you go alone, start that conversation, and create connections within your community.

We celebrate Erica's success and the dedication of student affairs professionals who make a difference across campuses every day.

October is Careers in Student Affairs Month, and we are proud to spotlight Kutztown University alumnus Ben Keating.

Ben earned his bachelor's degree in Accounting from KU in 2015 and his Master of Education in Student Affairs in Higher Education in 2019. He now serves as a Senior Program Coordinator for Residential Communities at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, where he supports Residence Life operations for the Busch and Livingston campuses and roughly 8,000 students. During his time at KU, he worked as a Resident Director while pursuing his master's degree, interned with the Career Development Center, and was involved in the Accounting Club, Intramural Soccer, and volunteering with the Special Olympics.

Ben credits his time as a Resident Director with giving him experience in every area of student affairs and a strong foundational skillset that has set him apart in his career. He also shared the lasting impact of Emeritus Accounting Professor Dave Wagaman, who taught him that hard work and a willingness to learn are essential for any young professional, and of Kerri Gardi, Director of the Career Development Center, who helped him find a healthy work/life balance as an introvert in the field. His advice to current students and recent graduates: networking matters, and the connections you build will help you learn from people from many walks of life.

We celebrate Ben's success and the dedication of student affairs professionals who make a difference across campuses every day.

October is Careers in Student Affairs Month, and we are proud to spotlight Kutztown University alumnus Connor Donohue.

Connor earned his M.Ed. in Student Affairs in Higher Education from KU in May 2024 and now serves as a Social Media and Digital Content Specialist at Ursinus College. He entered the program with the goal of becoming an athletic director, but learned how much more goes into running an effective institution and supporting students from all backgrounds. During his time at KU, he worked as a graduate assistant in the Sports Information office, served as a graduate intern with the Center for Student Success, and completed a graduate internship with the Muhlenberg College Athletic Department.

Connor credits Dr. Diane Elliot and Dr. Sally Hyatt, who led the program, for making a lasting impact on him in the classroom and in helping him land his job. He also shared his gratitude for Matt Heffelfinger and C.J. Hemerly in Sports Information. His advice to current students: be patient with those around you because everyone's experience in higher education is different, lean on your network, and be grateful for the work you get to do during such a transformational time in people's lives.
