Article by arts writer Myra Yellin Outwater highlights the honor paid to Fr.
Gerard J. Schubert, OSFS, who founded the DeSales Performing Arts Department
40 years ago, following a sold-out performance of “You Can’t Take It With
You,” the first Act 1 production of the season. Anne Lewis, associate

Article by Veronica Torrejon and Brian Callaway announces plans by St.
Luke’s Hospital and Health Network and Temple University to create the
Lehigh Valley’s first medical school. Medical students will complete their
first year at Temple in Philadelphia, then move to the St. Luke’s campus in
Fountain Hill to complete the final three years of their education. Article
mentions that some local colleges, such as DeSales, already have agreements
to send their graduates to medical schools elsewhere, such as the
Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Pre-med students from other
colleges, such as Lehigh, Moravian and Muhlenberg, are enrolled in the
“early assurance” program through St. Luke’s and Temple and will be given
special consideration when the new medical program begins.
Article by Scott Kraus announces plans for a social gathering to introduce
longtime residents of the neighborhood at Station Avenue and New Street to
DeSales students renting houses in the area at 4:00 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 18,
on campus. Residents of the neighborhood have complained about the growing
number of student renters, increase in noise, parking problems and speeding.
Jerry Joyce, vice president for student life at DeSales, feels the meeting
will help because many of the students are new and do not know the
neighbors. “The majority of the students are new this year. I figured this
would be a great opportunity to get the lines of communication open,” Joyce
said.

Hartley of Northampton Community College in the entrée category from 7:00

asset in dealing with a possible outbreak is a collaborative culture on
campus that is “fostered by a spirit of partnership between students and
staff.”
