The 2009 Cornucopia is dedicated to one of our college's most well
known and dedicated professors. This professor is none other than Dr.
Charlie Weber.
After earning a B.S. in Chemistry from (then) Philadelphia College of
Phamiacy and Science and receiving a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the
University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Weber decided to become a part of Delaware
Valley College in 1969, ^vhere he is currently an Associate Professor of
Chemistry. For most of his time with us at Delaware Valley College, Dr.
Weber has been the analytical chemist on campus, and he has taught
numerous courses, such as Analytical Chemistry, Instrumental Analysis,
General Chemistry, General Chemistry II and even Chemistry
Fundamentals. He has not only taught during the school year but he has also
shown commitment to the college by teaching courses during the summer
when needed, courses such as Principles of Organic Chemistry (lecture and
laboratory). As if teaching those courses was not enough work for him, he
even went on to develop nev^ courses, like Introduction to Biomedical
Instrumentation and Radioisotope Techniques. He has served on both the
Library and Instructional Resources Committee and the Student Conduct
Board for several years.
Dr. Weber has shown his dedication to the students and staff by
accompanying students to the Eastern Analytical Symposium in New Jersey
and serving as the campus radiation safety officer. Dr. Weber has also kept
himself busy judging for the Bucks County and Montgomery County
Science Fairs. He has worked with Professor Larry Hepner on the PA
Department of Environmental Protection project on On-Lot Septic System
Management, where he had carried out chemical analysis on the \vaste water.
When Dr. Weber needs his small break from science, he turns to his
knowledge about trains and gets involved with editing and/or contributing
to a number of publications relating to model train collecting. He
currently has his own nationally renowned model train collection.
He also enjoys spending time with his daughter Candace and
granddaughter Caitlin.
Dr. Weber has contributed much over the years to Delaware Valley
College and its students. He has inspired many students to work
hard and show their love for chemistry and science in general.. He
has made an impact on the college in a positive way, and this is why
the Cornucopia staff has been dedicated tins yearbook to him.

Dear Seniors:
Congratulations on your upcoming graduation! It has been my
pleasure getting to know you, and I hope you will keep me and the
rest of the DelVal community apprised of what is happening in your
lives. Your experiences at Delaware Valley College have helped
prepare you for what is to come next, and all of us are proud to have
witnessed your transformation from student to graduate and alumni.
Each graduating class brings a different perspective out into the
world. Each graduating class has a voice. Many of you have shared
your goals and aspirations with me, and I am impressed by your
clarity and determination. I am confident that whatever major you
pursued, every one of you will use what you learned at DelVal to
change the world for the better.
On behalf of the faculty and staff of Delaware Valley College,
congratulations on your graduation. You have left an indelible mark
on our institution, setting a standard of excellence for future

Best wishes for a happy and fulfilling life.

Dear Members of the Class of 2009:
Commencement is a formal, joyous, and
celebratory occasion that marks the
conclusion of your studies at Delaware
Valley College, the end of your
undergraduate college days. It is a time
for good-byes and farewells to your
friends, to faculty, to members of the
college community, and to your familiar
surroundings. You take with you a
treasure of memories and relationships
that become permanent parts of your
unique story.
Commencement, however, is not the
end but a formal beginning. For
graduates, it is a new beginning as you
face the challenges and opportunities in
the days ahead. Your degree is
evidence of your completion of studies
that have prepared you for work, for
advanced study, or for life after college.
In his writings, the Roman author Cicero,
commenting on new challenges, stated:
In all matters, before beginning, a
diligent preparation should be made.
You have completed that formal
preparation and it is time to begin new
endeavors with the confidence that
Delaware Valley College has provided a
sound educational foundation for your
future success.
Savor each day of your future as a new
opportunity for many things: To learn, to
teach, to build something, to contribute
to a team, to appreciate family and
friends, to lead, to become a responsible
citizen, to enjoy the adventure of the
unknown.
We at Del Val send you off with our best
wishes for success and a full and rich
life. Enjoy your new beginnings!

Dear Members of the Class of 2009:
I hope that each of you, after your years
at Delaware Valley College, will look back
and say that they were good ones. I
believe that both you and the college
have benefitted from your time together
and that the college has prepared you for
your post-college years. Academically
you are ready to either continue your
studies in a graduate program or enter
what is turning out to be a very
competitive job market. Socially the the
Office of Student Affairs has helped you
gain experience in community
participation and leadership both valuable
traits/skills that should bode you well in
the greater post-college communities in
which you become members.
In my short time at Delaware Valley
College, I have been welcomed by a
great group of seniors. A group varied in
their interests, backgrounds, talents and
personal goals. I have especially enjoyed
working with each of you this year and
hope I have been able to offer you as
much as you have offered me in my
transition to higher education. Thank You.
Finally, I trust that if you look back and
remember when you first entered
Delaware Valley College, the task of
graduating may have seemed
insurmountable. Now, you have
accomplished this goal! Congratulations
and Good Luck in whatever endeavors
you choose.

To the Class of 2009:
Congratulations to you on your graduation from DVC! As you move
forward into this next chapter of your life, I ask that you reflect on your
experiences here at the College and how they have prepared you for
the opportunities and challenges that await you. Whether you are
heading directly into your career or commencing graduate or
professional studies, your DVC education has laid a solid foundation
upon which you will build your future. We are proud of your many
accomplishments and are grateful for having had the opportunity to
serve as your teachers and mentors.
Remember to thank your family and friends who have supported
you during your DVC years. Cherish these individuals each and every
day. Please also remember to keep in touch with your alma mater.
We look fonA/ard to your support in the years to come!
I wish each of you much happiness and success, both personally

Lawrence Hepner
Dean of Agriculture
To Each Member of the Class of 2009:
Time has seemed to pass so quickly since your arrival at DVC as a
freshman or transfer student. I hope this has been a great experience
in your life. You have made new and probably lifelong friends. You
have studied and prepared yourself for a career, and hopefully, in the
meantime, you have become conscientious global citizens. Your
challenges are many. The first, of course, is to get a job, but after that
you need to go about the work of saving the planet. I know you are up
to the task, each of you addressing in your own way the wise use of
our resources to meet the needs of humankind.
To those I have had in class, it has been my pleasure teaching and
learning with you. I know the rest of the faculty feels the same as I do.
I hope you see the time spent here as a springboard to a lifetime of
learning. I wish for each of you great success and great happiness
wherever the journey of life leads. May you always be true to yourself
and show kindness and respect to others.
With best wishes,
Larry Hepner

Ckss 2009
This year has been productive. I am glad that the
Student Government Board and the senior class officers
have had a significant influence on many initiatives, and
I am grateful that we had the opportunity to do so.
DelVal's future continues to be bright as student
opportunities expand even further over the years to
come. I look forward to staying in touch and can't wait
to see how the school will progress over the years to
come.

To the Future of Delaware Valley College,
It is remarkable on how fast those best four years of your life will fly!
Take EVERY chance to squeeze all the life out of what college has to
offer. It is an amazing journey that will help mold the person you will
soon become. Endings are always bittersweet Personally, Del Val has
become my second home and will leave me with everlasting memories.
My advice to all is to open your heart up to the opportunities that Del
Val can offer you, meaning socially, academically, physically, and
mentally. You never know how it might influence you! Live Life to the
fullest!
With much Love,

Going out with a Bang!
The Class of 2009 entered Del Val in an unforgettable way. Within the first
few weeks of school we were, and continue to be, an undeniable force in
every aspect of college life. The Class of 2009 is full of very strong
personalities with very diverse backgrounds, which have helped make
many positive changes around campus. Our innovation, motivation and
dedication will pave the way for our futures, which will undoubtedly be
full of success and happiness. The Class of 2009 has never backed down
from a challenge, and as we prepare to enter the real world, I hope it is
ready for us because we will not fail!

Dear Delaware Valley College Community,
During a time in my life when the future is so open and terrifying, I find
comfort in reflecting on my past years here at Delaware Valley College.
The friends I have made and the experiences I have had are irreplaceable.
It has been a long journey since my arrival here in August 2005; I have
grown both personally and academically. The challenges I have faced have
only helped shaped my personality and sense of determination. DelVal
changes everyday and although it saddens me to think I am leaving during
the college's renaissance, I look forward to returning in the future.
Most importantly, I would like to say thank you.

'The greatest barrier to success...
Leaving the yearbook is like leaving a family, one that I have been part of all four years of
college. It was one of the first groups that I joined as a freshman and at that time if you had
told me that I would become the editor I would have called you crazy. But Hfe has its own
ways of working things out and as it happened I was the only person to take over being
editor, although I was not about to turn down the position.
It was a wonderful journey and I enjoyed every moment of it, the good and the bad times
(and there were plenty of both let me tell youj. The things that I learned from Cornucopia
will stay with me the rest of my life, even the silly things, like drawing on the window and
coloring pictures for the wall.
I know that this yearbook will be one of the best that Cornucopia has ever pubhshed, and I
am verv^ proud of it and the work that my staff has accomphshed. I wish the new team the
best of luck and all the best in the world.
They say that goodbye is one of the hardest things that a person can do... for me it was
surprisingly easy. I know it is because I left behind an amazing staff, one that I am certain
will take Cornucopia to new and exciting heights.
Make it work!
Sincerely,
Ross Thomas
Editor of Cornucopia
When I was first told that I was going to be the new co-editor of the Cornucopia I was a little
nervous. I had done and handled most of what the position asked for, but to have to bare the
responsibility of not only getting my assignments done but also the staffs was a little scary.
However, I took the challenge head on and with the support and cooperativeness of the rest
of the Cornucopia staff I am proud to present to the campus community our 2008-2009
yearbook. This year was full of both great joy and sadness, and I only hope we were able to
capture most of those times in order to preserve them for our future. Since we had a lotof
new members this year, we were able to be present at more events and therefore increase the
number of photos for this book. All in all, this was a great year. I really enjoyed having the
opportunity to be a leader of this club and finish the book for not only our editor Ross but
also the campus community. I can only hope next year will be as rewarding. Thank you to
the Cornucopia Staff nnd Congratulations to the Class of 2009!
Sincerdjj,
Kather^nc Iluhhard
