On May 18, Len and Evanna Litowitz opened their home to celebrate two individuals retiring form Applied Engineering, Safety & Technology at the end of Spring 2025. Dr Len Litowitz and Dr. Mark Snyder.
Len joined Millersville University in 1986 and had teaching responsibilities in the Energy, Power & Transportation area as well as the Technology & Engineering Education teacher preparation program. Len served as Department Chair for several years, was active in the Technology & Engineering Education Association of Pennsylvania and the International Technology & Engineering Education Association – both organizations benefitted greatly from his support and his leadership as their president.
Mark (pictured left) came to Applied Engineering, Safety & Technology in 1986 and his major teaching responsibilities were in the Graphic Communications area. Mark served as AETM coordinator for several years and was instrumental in establishing a chapter of Gamma Epsilon Tau, an honors fraternity for graphic arts education, at Millersville University.
The party happened on the most spectacular day that we had all that May. The weather was perfect, and people came from far and wide. Colleagues from Millersville were in attendance along with some former faculty who retired in years earlier. Family travelled in from distant parts of the country, and colleagues and collaborators from associations and institutions made the journey to Conestoga to mark the milestone. Some alumni even heard about the event and dropped by to make the day into a terrific event. All of this and a generous buffet accompanied by the dulcet sounds of a five-person jazz band won’t fade from memory any time soon.
