A night to remember: 2014 Spring Reception
A night to remember: 2014 Spring Reception
One of the most special events of the year here at Peirce is the Spring Reception, the annual celebration which brings together alumni for an evening of social camaraderie, professional networking, and reconnecting with the school.
This year’s Reception on May 19 brought nearly 300 guests to campus. Attendees gathered in College and Alumni Halls, as well as the J. Linford Snyder ’33 Courtyard, to get reacquainted with old friends as well as make new connections among members of the alumni community.

A highlight of this year’s Spring Reception was the awards ceremony, during which two individuals were honored by the Alumni Association for service to the College, achievements in their professions, and volunteerism in the community. This year’s winners — Frank Brodsky ’53 and Clem Piscitelli ’48 — have deep roots at the College: when you combine the total number of the years with which the two of them have been affiliated with Peirce, their connection with the College extends over 140 years.
At age 92, the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award, Clem Piscitelli, still has an active practice as a Public Accountant and tax preparer with his own firm, Piscitelli Associates. He and his wife Liz – a fellow member of the Class of 1948 – raised their five children in Langhorne, Pa., where he was an active volunteer with the Boy Scouts, Lions and Rotary, and served as an elected member of the Neshaminy School Board for over a decade. As a dynamic Peirce alumnus, Clem has chaired reunion committees, visited high school college fairs, and offered counsel to six decades of Peirce presidents and administrators. He has been a generous donor to the school and helped spearhead the creation of the Angelo E. DiAntonio Accounting Award.
