Rich Schellhas

Rich Schellhas was the site director of Lancaster from 2000 to 2002. Probably the most beloved site director of the past decade, Rich is most associated with Haribo gummibears. Known for having a system of positive reinforcement in which CTY staff or students could put a slip of paper in his box describing a praiseworthy act, Rich would then send that CTYer a small package of Haribo gummibears with a message like "You're doing a great job."

Rich Schellhas was appreciated by CTYers for his seemingly boundless energy, his good cheer, and the respect with which he treated the staff and students. "Chat with Rich" was a well-attended activity in which students could bring up concerns or suggestions. Rich was also known to occasionally wear a bathrobe on Thursdays.

There has occasionally been confusion between Rich Schellhas and Rich Groff; usually, this occurs when Lancastrians of different eras converse.
