Tom Sciarrino - Director, Instructional Technology & Media Services
By way of brief introduction, my name is Tom Sciarrino. I’m your dedicated Director of Instructional Technology & Media Services - and fun fact - this year(11/18/2021) I’ll be celebrating 19 years with Muhlenberg College. I encourage you to pull up a chair (literally or virtually) to participate in what I’ve long found to be one of the most vibrant aspects of the College - our ITMS workshops. These workshops and trainings are aimed at helping you navigate the plethora of tools and services offered here at Muhlenberg College to faculty, staff, and students.
In my role, it’s a privilege to listen and lead in this capacity, as I connect with students, faculty and staff to deliver make-sense media and technology training and solutions aimed at enhancing and complementing the educational experience - all with a persistent eye on the future to keep our community ahead of the curve.
My off-campus life finds me tinkering with gadgets, breaking technology and fixing it and often breaking it again, exploring the open roads on my Harley, hiking with my family and supporting my active daughters across their personal passions for soccer, running, softball, and basketball (to name a few).
Jeff Yorgey- Media Technician
Hello everyone! I’m Jeff Yorgey and my official title here at Muhlenberg is Media Technician. In so many words, what that means is I help integrate, support, and maintain any presentation media technology in the classrooms and around campus. In addition, I sometimes work closely with faculty and students to create media of all types (video, audio, presentation, etc).
As you might imagine, my role here always keeps me on my toes and ready for any of the above mentioned things to happen. You won’t ever see me complain though because my passions are music, video production, and 21st century technology. When I’m not on campus I like to write and record original music, hit the roads of west end Allentown for a run, or watch a new movie.
Dee Snow - Instructional Technology Specialist
Hi! I’m Dee Snow. I came relatively late to the world of technology - back when I taught high school, even our basic gradebook software was intimidating to me! I’ve learned a lot since then, but I’m very familiar with the frustration (and sometimes panic!) that comes when things don’t work as planned.
As an Instructional Technology Specialist, I’m here to help ensure that technology runs smoothly for both faculty and students. I want to keep everyone updated on current features, capabilities, and accessibility, to support you in your teaching and learning goals. I work with Canvas, Panopto, VoiceThread, Zoom, and more. I enjoy exploring new tools, and trying different ways to use the existing ones.
Aside from work, I always have a creative writing project to feel guilty about neglecting. I also make short, amateur documentaries about family history, to help my children feel a connection to past generations, and I enjoy time outside with my dog and chickens.
Tony Dalton - Digital Cultures Media Technologist
Hi there, Anthony Dalton here - but you can call me Tony - and I’m the Digital Cultures Media Technologist and an adjunct instructor here at Muhlenberg College. (There’s a lot of words there.) I primarily work with the Department of Media and Communication, supporting students, staff, and faculty with media technologies and teaching technical labs and courses.
During the summer and winter months, I work alongside Instructional Design and Media Services in the Office of Information Technology, helping with research, design, implementation, and instruction of varied campus technologies, as well as being the unofficial graphic designer for the group.
While I do have a set of usual responsibilities, my job often calls upon my other passions and interests including digital storytelling, video game preservation, web and graphic design - even woodworking, repurposing, and prop-building.
Whether I’m embedded in MediaCom, stationed in the basement of OIT, or out and about on campus, I’m always game for a dose of silliness, a dash of geekiness, and a whole lot of play.
Caitlin Riedl - Instructional Technology Specialist, GCE
Hey All! I’m Caitlin Riedl. I’ll be supporting our Graduate and Continuing Education (GCE) faculty and staff with their instructional technology needs. I work with Canvas, Google Workspace, Panopto, VoiceThread, and any other tool you’d like to explore. If I don’t know how to use it, I’m happy to be your partner in learning. You’ll also see me presenting and supporting Instructional Technology training online and around campus.
Outside of work I enjoy reading fantasy novels and crafting with a variety of 2D and 3D mediums. I also create art on my iPad, most of which are maps I use for the Dungeons and Dragons games I’m a part of. On cooler days I love going on walks with my husband and our two year old white lab, while keeping an eye out for interesting rocks.
Lynn D'Angelo-Bello - Instructional Designer
Hello, I’m Lynn D’Angelo-Bello. I’m an instructional designer and I offer opportunities for faculty to explore the evidence-based frameworks, principles, and pedagogies that inform online and hybrid course design at Muhlenberg.
While I primarily support faculty teaching in our graduate and continuing education programs, I’m happy to work in partnership with anyone at the college interested in knowing more about Muhlenberg’s learner-centered approach to teaching and learning in digital space. I can also help you align your online or hybrid course with Muhlenberg’s institutional values related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
My own academic journey included graduate and post-graduate courses taught in hybrid and online environments and this perspective (as a learner) absolutely informs my work.
Outside of working hours, I spend as much time as I can outdoors either running, hiking, or doing yard work (until it’s too dark, too cold, or too rainy), and on stage at Lehigh University singing with the Choral Arts program. I also travel with my husband.
You can reach me by email: [email protected] or find me in my office - Fahy Commons 229.
