• Alumni golfers support scholarships
  
  Although they competed for low strokes, golfers in Trine University’s 18th annual Alumni & Friends Golf Outing met some high goals on Aug. 1—$52,000 in scholarships for deserving students. Traveling from as far away as Los Angeles, Calif., 188 players teed off in morning and afternoon flights for a chance at first place honors, with four hole-in-one chances at big prizes. Everyone left with prizes after dinner in Zollner Golf Course’s Witmer Clubhouse. Finishing with the lowest number of strokes to claim the day’s top spot was the Kappa Sigma team of Rob Klinefelter, Joe Ealy, Jeff Reinche, and Glen Kelly. The First Federal/ReMax/Krebs Appraisals team of Scott Gruner, Lance Krebs, Todd Stock, and John Stock placed second, while the Auburn Masonry team of Todd Stayer, Darrin Dickerhoof, Bret Henderson, and Todd McAfee claimed third.
  
  
• New AD named
  
  Tri-State alumnus and former TSU trustee Jeff Posendek will take over as Trine University’s new athletic director this fall. Posendek earned a bachelor’s degree in business education at TSU in 1977, and then completed a master’s degree in educational administration at Cleveland State University. He served on the TSU Alumni Board of Governors and Board of Trustees for a combined 25 years, with two terms as president of the alumni board. His dedication earned him the university’s Distinguished Alumni Service Award in 2006. Posendek’s wife, Anne, also earned a TSU degree in 1977. He has spent the past 30 years as a teacher and administrator in secondary education, earning Ohio Assistant Principal of the Year honors in 2004. “I will continue my strong support of student-athletes and emphasize the importance of providing leadership, role models, and programs that develop their academic and athletic success,” Posendek said.
