Honorary Alumnus 2003
Fred Reinhard
Since his daughter, Joan ’86 and son, Jeffrey ’90 began attending ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ College, Fred Reinhard has been one of ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ College’s most enthusiastic and effective ambassadors and supporters. As a longstanding member of the Board of Trustees, as a proud parent of college graduates, and as an avid promoter of our athletic programs, Fred had made a profound and lasting difference in the life of our institution and its students. As a College trustee for more than seven years, he has provided strong direction to ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ from the boardroom. At the same time, Fred has referred countless students from the Palmerton Area School District to ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ and has offered numerous student internships and employment opportunities to our graduates. Honored as the 2003 Gillespie Award recipient for his unwavering support of Hound athletics, Fred has been a true and loyal fan, faithfully attending at-home and away events in virtually every sport. He has hosted many receptions for current and prospective student-athletes. At the same time, his financial leadership has greatly enhanced ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ’s athletic programs, helping to initiate our men’s lacrosse program, to establish athletic internship positions, and to provide leadership in the athletic campaign. Through his newspaper, cable television, and internet companies, Fred has generously offered invaluable public relations support to the College, promoting it to hundreds of thousands of people in the region and beyond. Indeed, his latest initiative will provide the first public broadcast of ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ Vespers Services throughout Eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In acknowledgement of his outstanding dedication to ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ College, the Alumni Association is proud to recognize Fred Reinhard with the distinction of honorary alumnus.
