Muhlenberg College Alumni

Congratulations to Kate Lederman ’01 on her induction into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame this May! 🏆

A standout in both basketball and softball at Muhlenberg, Kate continues to be recognized for the lasting impact she’s made on and off the field. Her former basketball coach, Tammy Smith, was in attendance to celebrate this well-deserved honor.

We’re proud to see Muhlenberg alumni continuing to be celebrated for their achievements and contributions beyond campus.

The Muhlenberg community deeply mourns the passing of Jeff Morris ’82. A proud Mule soccer alumnus and founder of the World Cup Soccer Academy, Jeff’s passion for athletics was unmatched. His incredible generosity transformed our campus, and his legacy will live on forever through Jeff Morris ’82 Field — a testament to a gift that secured the future of Mule athletics for generations to come. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Jeff’s family, friends, teammates, and all who were touched by his vibrant life. ⚽️

Jessica Anselmi '08 knows the power of sports has to bring people together. The former Muhlenberg volleyball player recently launched Crowd Wear Collective, a lifestyle apparel brand inspired by the shared experience of global sporting events.

If the brand reaches 750 purchases in the next few weeks, Jessica has pledged to fund a World Cup experience for a child and chaperone this summer. ⚽️

Change is the only constant. 🌪️ That’s why unrestricted giving is so vital. It’s the "flex" in our budget that lets us pivot, innovate, and say YES to new opportunities for our students.
