TRANSCRIPT
AT KUTZTOWN, our students are passionate about taking knowledge and skills to the
next level. They set goals and they strive to reach them. In and out of the classroom, they demonstrate that hard work, grit, and dedication are the qualities of tomorrow’s leaders.
YOU make these successes happen. Members of the Tower Society, through annual support, make an immediate impact through scholarships, hands-on learning experiences across campus, and a multitude of powerful academic and co-curricular programs. Will you rea� irm your belief in the Kutztown experience by accepting this invitation to join The Tower Society with a leadership-level gift? Your kindness and compassion enrich our campus and prepare our students to thrive at KU and beyond. A Kutztown University education transforms lives. But we cannot transform lives without the collective support of those who recognize that it takes more than hard work to achieve one’s goals.
TOGETHER,W E’R E GOLDEN
Join Tekiah, a Proud Tower Society Member:
Tekiah Brabham ’05, always knew that she wanted to be an educator. Coming from a family of teachers, she had an opportunity to see the di� erence she could make in a child’s life early on. Now a Kindergarten teacher at West Education Campus in Washington, D.C., she spends her days nurturing the youngest minds in her school. “� ey learn so much that � rst year, the transformation from the � rst day of class to the last is pretty incredible. I love to watch them grow and glow.” Says Brabham. She credits her education at Kutztown University, and the experiences a� orded her through the College of Education, for preparing her to go into the classroom ready to make an impact. � ough presented with many opportunities and campus visits to other schools during her senior year of high school, she chose KU because they were quick to o� er her placement and enough � nancial aid to help her family see her through school. “It felt like they were investing in me,” says Brabham. “And I never forgot that.” She recalls her time as a student doing � eld experiences and student teaching fondly, and relished her experiences in urban districts in Reading and Allentown as being particularly gratifying. A north Philadelphia native herself, she took to the urban schools and enjoyed the students and families she interacted with. Later, she would recall those experiences when she established her very own scholarship. Last year, after having established herself as a successful educator and basketball coach, she decided to join our Tower Society and generously established the “Tekiah Brabham ’05 Scholarship” for students attending KU coming from Reading, Allentown or Philadelphia school districts. It was important to her to provide opportunities to students coming from urban districts as she had.
“When you leave a place that has
done so much for you, you should
fi nd ways to afford someone else the
same experience. Someone did it for
me and there was no question that
this is what I wanted to do too.”
