According to Carroll County Public Schools, Heather Dewees has been inducted into Mount Saint Mary’s Athletic Hall of Fame

A recent press release reported, “Heather Dewees, a social studies teacher at North Carroll High School and the girls’ basketball coach at Manchester Valley High School, has been inducted into the Mount Saint Mary’s University Athletic Hall of Fame.

“Dewees was inducted for her performance on and off the court as a student athlete. She played women’s basketball and graduated eighth in her class, Summa Cum Laude, with a double major in History and Spanish and a minor in Theology. As a member of the Mount Saint Mary’s basketball team, Dewees scored over 1,000 points and helped lead the Mountaineers to some of the most successful seasons in the program’s Division I history.

“In her final two seasons, Dewees helped the Mount win two conference championships and secure the NEC’s first-ever automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in 1994. She started in both of the Mount’s NCAA tournament games in 1994 and 1995.


“She was named to the NEC All-Newcomer Team, First Team All-NEC and All-NEC Tournament Team.”

Mitchell K. Alexander, McDaniel College director of Event Services

February 19, 2014


I learned today from my friend on Facebook, Mahlia Joyce that my dear friend Mitch Alexander has passed away from a heart attack… I am so sad and my heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. Mitch was a wonderful friend for many-many years. He was always good for a big hug, a huge smile and a kind word.

Dr. Ethan A. Seidel wrote:

Rest in peace Mitch...

We regret to inform the McDaniel community that Mitchell K. Alexander, director of Event Services, passed away today, Feb. 19, following a heart attack. He earned his bachelor’s degree in History with a minor in Education from WMC in 1980 and worked in Student Affairs as a part-time Decker Center building manager during the evenings and weekends. While an undergraduate here, he was named to Who’s Who Among American College Students and the recipient of the Lynn F. Gruber Leadership Award

After teaching middle school science for a year at Saint Francis Academy in Baltimore, Mitchell returned to the College as assistant director of College Activities. In 1986, he completed his master’s degree in School Administration. He left for a promotion in 1988 and served as director of Student Activities at Post College in Waterbury, Connecticut. He returned 16 months later to WMC as student activities director.

In a 1993 edition of the student newspaper, Mitchell was described as having, “the whole campus in his hands.” His legacy is one of empowering student groups to organize and create successful events for the campus community. More recently, his campus knowledge was invaluable for his expertise and guidance for event staging and set-ups.

He is survived by his wife Mildred Artis Alexander, class of 1981, and their two children, Blake and Paige.

Information regarding funeral services will be shared when available.

Dr. Ethan A. Seidel
