Alumni Feature: Mike Doner’82’s path to success as CEO of Flagger Force

A graduate of Shippensburg University’s Communications, Media and Journalism (CJM) BS program, Doner has carried those lessons through a career that ultimately led him to build Flagger Force, a professional short-term traffic control company.

When Doner addressed graduates at Shippensburg’s 2026 undergraduate commencement ceremony, his message was grounded in something he has believed throughout his career: give your best effort, have confidence in what you can accomplish and do not place artificial limits on yourself.

Doner first recognized the traffic control opportunity while working for a temporary staffing company. In 1989, an electrical utility client needed flaggers to help keep its crews safe.

“It was a niche no one was supporting at the time, so I created the training, found the proper personal protective equipment and started supporting them,” Doner said.

Shippensburg University Pilots New Student Advising Model That Connects Majors to Careers

*This release was originally published by Pennsylvania’s State System of Higher Education

HARRISBURG, Pa. – Students at three universities in Pennsylvania’s State System will soon get a clearer answer to one of the most important questions students face in college — What job can I do with this major? — as part of a new effort to enhance career advising so students can see exactly where a major leads.

The initiative, “Connecting Credentials to Careers,” will be piloted at Kutztown, Shippensburg and PennWest universities, with the potential to scale to other universities in the State System. The pilot will break down the skills students learn in each program, then match those skills to specific jobs and wages, so students and advisors can see the concrete path from a major to a career.

Alumna Mackenzie Reichert’20 applies BSBA to nonprofit work at Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation

Alumna Mackenzie Reichert earned her degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from the John L. Grove College of Business in 2020. She’s applied her marketing background to nonprofit work and philanthropy, working as a Marketing & Event Coordinator at Families Behind the Badge Children’s Foundation. The organization supports families of fallen and critically injured first responders. They also focus on strengthening relationships between police officers and the communities they serve through its Police Youth Alliance program and provide mental health and well-being resources to first responders and their families.

“My time at Ship gave me a strong foundation for the work I do today, especially when it comes to communication, marketing, relationship-building and being willing to take on new challenges,” Reichert said.

The Foundation’s signature fundraising event, the Ben to the Shore Bike Tour, is one of Reichert’s main projects. The annual event brings together cyclists, volunteers, first responders, sponsors, community partners and supporters to honor fallen heroes and raise funds for the foundation’s programming.

This year, more than 2,200 cyclists participated in the tour, which offers 65-, 30- and 10-mile routes that end in a finish-line celebration in Atlantic City.

“The most rewarding part is seeing everything come together on event day,” Reichert said. “You spend months planning, promoting, communicating with participants, reaching out to sponsors and community partners, coordinating volunteers, organizing supplies and working through countless details behind the scenes. Then you finally get to see thousands of people come together for the same purpose.”

Student Feature: Exercise Science major Nora Braun makes a lasting impact on Shippensburg Community Through Nourished Wellness, LLC

Exercise Science major Nora Braun first began teaching Pilates at Shippensburg University’s Recreation Center, where she developed a strong passion for the exercise and turned her love for Pilates into a career path.

When Braun started teaching at the Rec Center, she never expected that her classes would regularly fill up 45 minutes before they began, and that she would have a line waiting out the door to participate in her class.

“Getting so much positive feedback was such a surreal feeling, and somewhere along the way teaching turned into a passion!” Braun said.
