In the News
The News Bureau gathers articles about Penn College that are published in newspapers, magazines, online news sites, trade publications, newsletters and other media. The articles collected from these sources are assembled into a monthly report known as “In the News.”

The articles illustrate the scope of coverage the college receives in the local, regional and national media. Students, faculty and staff can find items published about their achievements and accomplishments. Alumni of the college may find news about themselves and former classmates. News-media representatives may review the articles to gain perspective or to find subjects they wish to explore further with their own reporting.
