    Awesome Penn College students gather for a group photo following their reception. Keynote speaker Meagan Murray ('09, human services), volunteer coordinator for Roads to Freedom Center for Independent Living of North Central PA, talks about the power of one person making a significant impact in small and large ways. A full house in the PDC's Mountain Laurel Room listens intently to Murray's words. The front table was decorated with succulent plants, given to each nominee in addition to a certificate and jewelry for sale from the BeadForLife, a nonprofit, fair trade organization empowering women in Uganda. Thirty-three Penn College students were welcomed Monday evening as the latest Awesome Women Exemplars during Student Activities' 10th annual reception. Held in the Mountain Laurel Room of the Thompson Professional Development Center, the event included a welcome by Kimberly R. Cassel, director of student activities, and a keynote address by Meagan Murray, honored by the college in 2009 with an Alumni Citizenship/Humanitarian Award.
