Happy Zookeeper Week: Meet Zookeeper Christy 🎉

How it started:
Growing up, I was in 4-H and had a passion for animals. I went to Delaware Valley College to study Animal Science, not knowing quite what I wanted to do. I interned at the Philadelphia Zoo and fell in love with the zoo field. After college, I started working at Cape May County Zoo as a Seasonal keeper.

How it's going:
It's now been over 20 years since I started this journey, and I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I have worked with a large variety of animals at the zoo, but my main focus has been the Savanna animals. Giraffe have always been my favorite since I was a kid. I enjoy being able to work with these amazing animals every day. I'm still involved with 4-H, and I love sharing the zoo with the local 4-Hers too.

A warm welcome to our newest students! New Student Orientation gave our incoming class the chance to explore campus, connect with fellow Aggies, and meet the faculty and staff who will support them along the way. See you on campus soon!

DelVal Turf Program Aggies helped prepare Saucon Valley Country Club for last week's USGA Junior Amateur Championship. Working morning and evening shifts, these students gained valuable hands-on experience while helping ensure the course was ready for one of the nation's premier junior golf events.
