The Alumni Office has moved and you are
invited to stop by and visit your new home on campus. Blankley Alumni House is located in the former gatehouse built for
William Welsh Harrison, located across from the Wishing Well and Dining
Complex. It was renamed in 2005 in honor of Rosemary Deniken
Blankley '57 and recently remodeled to create a warm and welcoming
space for alumni to enjoy when visiting campus. The building houses the
Offices of Alumni Relations and the Annual Fund and offers a
comfortable alumni lounge and a conference room, designed to host
alumni committee meetings. Please stop by and visit when you are on campus. The coffee pot is
always on! 
Internationally known speakers and artists and dazzling theatre productions and concerts await you at Arcadia University.

On Saturday, Sept. 29, Professor Emeritus Dr. Norman Johnston gave more than 40 alumni and friends a tour of Eastern State Penitentiary. Opened in 1829, Eastern State is considered to be the world’s first true penitentiary and one of the largest public-works projects of the colonial period, boasting running water and central heat before the White House. Johnston is a renowned expert of prison architecture. 
Jeanne Halfman Harman '33, receives a new Arcadia diploma for
her 96th birthday celebration on Oct. 23. Georgene Pilling '04M, Alumni
Office (left), and Donna Smith, Registrar's Office (right), make the presentation.
Jeanne taught in Upper Moreland until she fell in love with and married
Alan Harman, Superintendent of Schools. This necessitated a change in
employment and she landed a job at her alma mater, teaching a business
class at Beaver College in the early '40s.
