December 2006
An instructional model of a 2001 Acura CL, given to Penn College in its partnership with American Honda Motor Co., has been "redonated" for the enrichment of students at the Columbia-Montour Area Vocational-Technical School. The transfer was completed last month and the equipment delivered to the school, where it already has been put to a variety of good uses. "This vehicle is - and will be - an asset to the automotive collision repair program, providing up-to-date experiences for the students," said Terry Sheaffer, an instructor in the Automotive Collision Repair and Refinishing program at the vocational-technical school.
