The Haven Online connect with us Connections—you may think of technology, common interests or maybe even the relationships that we all have with one another. Our spring issue of The Haven captures all three definitions of the word. In our alumni feature, learn more about Chuck Durham, Eric Etkin, and the team at Seisan. The connections they have with one another through LHU, their common interest Phi Mu Delta, and their passion in working with technology has brought them together to create a company that is paving the way in application development. In our donor profile, we discuss the importance of connections with TKE, who support the University through their annual fundraising campaign. The brothers set the bar for other affinity groups to stay connected with The Haven and each other. This summer, we will be making connections with alumni across the country through our upcoming events schedule. On July 13, we will be in Hershey at Cassel Vineyards for an LHU alumni dinner and social at the winery. On August 9, we will have a social at Folino Estate Vineyard and Winery in Kutztown. All of these events are a wonderful way to connect with other alumni in your area while we bring The Haven to you! Mark your calendar for this year’s Homecoming fun happening October 15-21. Some highlights include our annual block party, fireworks, alumni golf tournament, sporting events, alumni parties, and more! New for this year’s Homecoming week is our annual Athletics Hall of Fame that will take place on Sunday, October 21. We hope that whether it has been a month, a year, or a decade since you have been back to campus that this issue offers you an opportunity to connect with us. We would love to see you at an event, on campus, or to just hear what you are up to in life after The Haven.
