Joyce Shorts, ’73 Edu.

  • Shorts and Associates

Joyce holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from Penn State University and is a retired high school business education teacher. Her second career leveraged the business skills that she taught for years. With a goal of promoting financial security for other educators, she entered the financial
services industry.

She soon became a full-time agent and recruited her youngest son Troy Shorts (’92 Communications) to establish Shorts and Associates. Together she and Troy work side by side educating their clients, especially teachers and other middle-income professionals who are often overlooked in wealth services.

An upstanding member of several Penn State groups, including the Southern New Jersey Penn State Alumni Chapter, Joyce enjoys time with her Greek-life sisters, supporting local and regional youth through volunteer advocacy.

Joyce has cemented her and her family’s legacy as vital figures within their community. She brings boundless enthusiasm and a go-getter energy, inspiring educators and the broader community to pursue financial education and empowerment.

Joyce currently resides in Woodbury, New Jersey.
