National Cat Day + Throwback Thursday = this great memory from February 2019! On a snowy day, Cedar Crest’s Campus Police received a call about a cat shivering in the cold behind Moore Hall. The catlater dubbed Lt. Fuzzwas brought inside to warm up. With the local animal shelters closed due to the weather, the chief and officers purchased a litter box and some food so Lt. Fuzz could spend the night indoors. The next day, he was taken to The Lehigh County Humane Society in the hopes that his owner would turn up, but after waiting the obligatory 48 hours, no one had claimed him. Lt. Fuzz was then made available for adoption and was immediately taken in by Officer Flyte, who renamed him Gylden. #nationalcatday #throwbackthursday #cedarcrestcollege

"The Master of Art in Art Therapy (MAAT) program prepared me for life after graduation by setting me up with a lot of new skills and knowledge. Specifically, being able to get a variety of internship experiences helped me gain multiple ways of working and understanding diverse populations, as well as helping to guide me personally in deciding the path I wanted to follow with employment. Having a range of practicing professors as guides was also helpful to give me a diverse u...nderstanding of various practice types and methods to find my path of practice." - Courtney Brensinger '20 Courtney now works as an PRN STAR Partial Counselor at CareLink Community Support Services.
