The Gallery at Penn College
From campus royalty to a historical photo exhibit in The Gallery at Penn College, to sporting events and alumni reunions, to a car show and "floats" that didn't move, Pennsylvania College of Technology was alive Oct. 9-11 with a "Connecting the Pieces: Past and Present Unite" Homecoming celebration.
