Alumni of the Year is presented to those who have recently made a significant contribution through service in their community, profession, family or church. Recipients are selected from nominations made by Lancaster Mennonite faculty, the Board of Directors and other alumni or friends of LM.
JARED NISSLEY, MD ‘03
JARED NISSLEY, MD ‘03, is a physician with Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health in Family Medicine, and an instructor in the family medicine residency program, and finds that to be an exciting and stimulating place to work alongside bright and inspiring minds.
He worked collaboratively with family medicine residents the past few years to launch a street medicine practice. What started as volunteer work a few times a month has grown into something Jared and his team of three do 2-3 days a week.
“LM was a very important part of my journey,” related Jared Nissley ’03. “I learned that God cares about our spiritual wellness and also our wellness as human beings. I also learned that Jesus wants his followers to work toward a world that reflects the values of his kingdom.”

Frank Albrecht '76
“Frank was a wonderful person, not perfect, but he did everything out of a desire to follow Jesus and to live out Kingdom values.” These beautiful words were spoken by Frank’s wife, Elizabeth Soto, as she remembered him five months after his death. And they capture perfectly why Frank was nominated and selected to be one of Lancaster Mennonite’s Alumni of the Year.
Known by many as Brother Frank, Frank was a lifelong educator, community leader, and servant of Jesus. After serving with Mennonite Central Committee in Colombia, he spent much of his life working with young people. He established and implemented mediation programs for schools throughout Lancaster County, helping students to learn and practice peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and reconciliation.
Frank was also known for his acts of kindness in his neighborhood, church, and family. In June of 2023, Frank was diagnosed with ALS and he passed away in August of 2024.
