College Faculty Member Works With Middle Schoolers on Fundraiser
Feb. 6, 2012 - 12:58 p.m.
A Penn College faculty member’s volunteer time presenting “Brown Bag Lunch” sessions at Curtin Middle School resulted in both a hands-on manufacturing experience and a $185 fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. John M. Good III, instructor of automation and computer-integrated manufacturing, presented eight sessions for the sixth- to eighth-grade students, offering them insight into the world of manufacturing engineering with such topics as robotics, hydraulics, pneumatics and computer-aided design, and nanotechnology. With the students’ interest, Good developed a product for them to manufacture – a sled ornament made from five popsicle sticks and three toothpicks. Sleds were sold for a $1 donation at a winter choral concert, benefiting the Cancer Society's Relay for Life.

Students Among Admirable Ambassadors for Construction Management Degree
Jan. 19, 2012 - 3:15 p.m.
Construction management seniors Kyle S. Baker and John M. Kriner attended the ACE Mentor Program's College Night on Tuesday at the John Wanamaker Building in Philadelphia, where high school students spoke with numerous colleges about opportunities in architecture, construction and engineering. Baker, of Walkersville, Md., and Kriner, of Lancaster, joined faculty member Brad M. Martin to inform prospective students about the Penn College construction management degree. Many students and professionals in attendance never heard of Penn College or of its prestigious program, so, as part of their senior capstone project, Baker and Kriner are helping recruit students for the four-year construction management major. "Many people do not even know about the degree or understand that construction management is a white-collar job and that there are only 66 accredited programs nationwide," said Kriner, adding that, after speaking with more than 60 prospective students, the group believes many are interested in the program.
