From The President’s Desk
Moravian Greyhound family and friends,
It is always my pleasure to share the remarkable growth and success Moravian University has experienced over the past decade. Our enrollment has soared from 2,096 in 2013 to 2,967 in 2023, making Moravian the fastest-growing university in the region. This growth is a testament to our unwavering commitment to preparing students for successful careers in vital industries such as nursing, health sciences, business, education, technology, and the arts.
This issue of the Moravian University Magazine celebrates alumni who have made significant contributions to the performing arts. This year, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of dance at Moravian. What began as a component of physical education has blossomed into a vibrant minor, with a dedicated dance studio on our South Campus made possible by generous alumni, whose contributions provided state-of-the-art facilities.
We are incredibly proud of those alumni who have excelled in the arts. Gretchen Morning ’92 is an executive producer at Warner Bros. Discovery, overseeing all aspects of production of many network series. Her leadership and creativity shine as a beacon of what Moravian graduates can achieve.
Amy Zdunowski-Roeder ’96 is a celebrated celebrity makeup artist who has worked with some of the biggest names from the runway and red carpet to stage and screen. Her expertise and artistry exemplify the diverse career paths our graduates pursue.
One of my dear friends, Brian Dailey ’90, is the senior vice president of International Media at Paramount Pictures. He credits his success in the film industry to the strong foundation he built at Moravian. His journey stands as an inspiring testament to the transformative power of a Moravian education.
We remain committed to nurturing our students’ talents and ambitions as we grow and evolve. Thank you for being a part of our vibrant community.
Warm regards,
President Bryon L. Grigsby ’90, P’22, P’26
