The campus community gathered with family and friends in Leffler Chapel & Performance Center this afternoon to celebrate the life and legacy of Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Matthew “Matt” Telleen, who passed away in July after a courageous battle with cancer.

Through heartfelt remarks and shared memories, the celebration reflected on Matt’s profound impact as a leader, educator, mentor, colleague, and friend, along with the many lives he touched throughout our community.

Matt’s legacy will continue to live on at Etown through the people he inspired, the relationships he built, and his enduring commitment to education and our Blue Jay community.

“Etown has given me the opportunity to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a teacher while growing both inside and outside the classroom. My community-based learning at GiGi's Playhouse Lancaster, where I tutor a student with Down syndrome, has been especially meaningful and has allowed me to practice teaching skills in a supportive environment. Beyond academics, being a member of the Etown Swimming team has helped me build discipline, time management, and lifelong friendships. With strong faculty support, meaningful field experiences, and a close-knit campus community, Etown is preparing me for my future as a second-grade teacher and for graduate study." - Olivia Goldman-Smith '29, Early Childhood and Special Education (pk-4) major, Human Services minor
