Nicholas Biddle
Graphic Design

“The labs were set up like a real design firm. Your peers were your colleagues and your professor was your art director. Everyone learns off of one another's mistakes and triumphs through critique and discussion.”

Richard Blase
Mass Media

“WPTC, 88.1 FM, is a nice way to be able to get on-air experience.”

Richard had his own college radio show on WPTC, which streamed live and boasted a worldwide audience, including American soldiers and devotees of “Lost,” who tuned in for a program of music and talk inspired by the TV drama.

Sarah Leach
Early Childhood Education

“Both my father and grandfather went to school here. It is a beautiful school and the perfect distance from home.”

Catherine McCall
Human Services

“We do a lot of stuff … raising awareness for people and organizations.”

Catherine and her classmates staged a 24-hour demonstration in downtown Williamsport to raise awareness regarding homelessness. The event attracted media attention and donations for needy residents.

Suyog Pradham
Graphic Communication Management

“The degree that works was one of the first things that I saw when I inquired about Penn College. But soon enough it came to reality when I started with my major. I was able to work on equipment by myself which was really a neat thing. I never thought that I could actually run a press by myself with very little supervision.”

Malika Rice
Graphic Design

“No other college I was applying to could compare to the facilities at Penn College. No other college had three full Mac computer labs with the most up-to-date applications and computers. When I did my internship, I found that I knew more applications than all of the employees there.”

Rachel Scheiderich
General Studies

“The entire math department and the integrated studies department have all been my advisors in some fashion or another. They always encourage me to shoot high, to shoot for the moon.”
