LeAnn, a sophomore at the University, took us on a tour of the campus including classrooms, athletic facilities and dorms. We then had lunch with Carrie and were welcomed by Dr. Chris Domes, President of Neumann University, where we engaged in a conversation about the philosophy and operation of the school.

Sean McDonald, Director of Neumann Media, then showed us around the studios and media center and explained how his career started as a student at Neumann. He was instrumental in setting up their current media program. Sean invited us into a live radio broadcast where TCS student Danny Buck joined the broadcast to talk about TCS’s tour at Neumann.

The tour was capped off with a live filming of the current TCS Student News broadcast in the Neumann studios with fellow classmates serving in the production roles including camera operation, teleprompter, sound and floor manager!

It was an unforgettable day for the students to learn about college, campus life and especially about the many opportunities available at Neumann University.

The Community School has had a special relationship with Neumann University since 2012 when they were of critical help as we were transitioning our school into a state-certified high school. Our Head of School, Tom Culotta, received his degree from Neumann and was a Humanitarian Award recipient from the University in 2020.

Our deepest thanks to Dr. Domes, Carrie Snyder, Sean McDonald, LeAnn and all of the staff at the University for your kindness and generosity. A special shout out to Judi Stanaitis for setting up this tour and for being our communication link at Neumann over the years. We deeply appreciate all of you!
