Scholarship Helps Theatre Major Find Voice
Wilder Citizenship Award Has Huge Impact on Jas Stuchel ’25
by Libby Cudmore
THANKS TO THE Barbara F. Wilder H’93 and Philip S. Wilder Jr. H’93 Citizenship Award, Jas Stuchel ’25 was able to find a voice — literally.
“When I opened the envelope at Honors Convocation last spring, I started to cry,” Stuchel said. “Their generosity meant I was finally able to afford the extra cost to take voice lessons.”
Established in 1992 to honor the former Hartwick President and his wife, the scholarship is awarded to a rising senior whose career at Hartwick exemplifies outstanding leadership, campus citizenship and strong academic performance.
A theater major who is also working on an education certification, Stuchel is a member of the Cardboard Alley Players and most recently performed as Tristan in Snap. Stuchel helped revive the Hartwick Identity Alliance and serves on the philanthropy committee for the music fraternity Phi Mu Alpha, organizing community service projects, fundraisers and concerts.

“One of the reasons I came to Hartwick was because I knew I could make a difference on campus and in Oneonta. We want to better the space for the students who come after us and for the people who live in this city.”
