Preparation. Perseverance. Purpose.

Those three ideas are at the heart of how Dr. Scott Glenn, Assistant Professor of Business at Goldey-Beacom College, approaches teaching and mentoring students.

In the classroom, Dr. Glenn focuses on helping students connect what they learn to real-world challenges, understand their strengths and keep growing through mistakes. It’s an approach built around preparing students not just for the next assignment, but for what comes after college.

His advice says it simply: “Preparation is what matters.”

Learn more about Dr. Glenn’s classroom philosophy in our latest blog, inspired by his conversation on the *Practice to Profession* podcast. Then listen to the full podcast episode.

Are gaming athletes real athletes? 🎮

Competitive esports takes focus, strategy, quick decision-making, hand-eye coordination and teamwork. At Goldey-Beacom College, our esports athletes put those skills to work through regular practice and competition across games including Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Valorant, Marvel Rivals and Rocket League.

Along the way, they’re building community, sharpening their skills and competing at a high level.

Service is often found in the little things: encouraging a student, helping a colleague, solving a problem before anyone even knows it exists.

This year, Goldey-Beacom College is celebrating two people whose care, consistency, and dedication have made a lasting impact on our community: the 2026 President’s Service Award recipients, Dr. Traci Currie, Assistant Professor of Communications and Media, and Laura Cintavey, Auxiliary Services Coordinator.

Dr. Currie was recognized for the confidence she helps students build and for creating spaces where people feel encouraged to share their voices. One colleague wrote, “Students who once dreaded public speaking leave her classes feeling confident and inspired to share their voices in ways they never imagined possible.”

Laura was recognized for the thoughtful, behind-the-scenes work that helps campus events, rentals, and bookstore operations run smoothly. As her nomination shared, “Clients come back because of the experience they have here, and that experience is often shaped by her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail.”

Congratulations, Dr. Currie and Laura, and thank you to all seven of this year’s nominees for the many ways you support our students, colleagues, and GBC community. ⚡💙

A warm welcome to our newest Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology students! ⚡💙

This past weekend, we kicked off the semester with MACP orientation, giving students the chance to meet faculty, staff, and one another while getting familiar with the resources available to support them at Goldey-Beacom College.

From academic advising and library services to the Wellness Center, orientation was all about helping our newest graduate students feel connected, prepared, and ready for what’s ahead.

We’re so glad to have this new cohort as part of the GBC community and can’t wait to see all they accomplish this semester.

Learning is supposed to challenge us, and that challenge can help prepare students for whatever comes next.

In the latest episode of Practice to Profession, Mary Wheeling, Director of Faculty Development and Associate Professor of English and Humanities at Goldey-Beacom College, talks about how faculty support student success in a changing world.

From communication and critical thinking to creativity, collaboration, and navigating artificial intelligence, Mary shares why strong teaching is about more than delivering information. It’s about helping students build skills they can carry into their careers and communities.

She also reminds us that mistakes and questions are part of learning, not signs that learning has gone wrong.

Convocation is one of the traditions that helps make the beginning of a new academic year feel meaningful.

President Dr. Colleen Perry Keith introduced GBC’s Convocation ceremony in 2021 as a way to formally welcome new students into the Goldey-Beacom community and mark an important transition into college life. It’s both a celebration and a reminder of the opportunities, expectations, and growth that come with becoming a college student.

From getting dressed up for the occasion to hearing the ceremonial sound of the bagpipes, the day carries a sense of significance. Most importantly, it gives our newest Bolts a moment to recognize: this is the beginning of something new, and they are now part of the GBC community.

We’re glad you’re here. ⚡💙

Classes are officially underway. ⚡💙

The first week can bring a mix of excitement, questions, and new routines, so we asked GBC students and staff to share a little advice for the days ahead.

Whether this is your first semester or one of your last, we’re glad you’re here. Here’s to a great start, Bolts!

Danielle Campbell’s journey back to college is one rooted in determination, family and a clear vision for what comes next.

After earning three associate degrees and taking a break from school, Danielle returned to the classroom as a young mom to pursue her bachelor’s degree at Goldey-Beacom College. Now, she has been named a 2026 Dunkin’ Philadelphia Regional Scholarship recipient and will receive $5,000 toward her education.

There’s another connection that makes her GBC experience especially meaningful: Danielle’s grandmother, who raised her, also graduated from Goldey-Beacom.

“Receiving the Dunkin scholarship means so much to me because it supports my journey toward earning my bachelor’s degree,” Danielle shared. “I am truly grateful to Dunkin and GBC for believing in my journey and helping me continue to thrive and achieve my goals.”

Congratulations, Danielle! ⚡💙 We’re proud to celebrate this next step in a journey that already means so much.

Parents, here’s one campus convenience that might come in handy during those first few weeks away from home. 📦

If your student moved in and realized they forgot an essential, they can have eligible Amazon orders delivered to the Amazon Locker in the Jones Center. It’s easy to pick up on the way to the dining hall, making one more part of settling into campus a little simpler.
