OSE also had a station in the Student Organization & Leadership Center for members of student organizations to stop by and make "thank you" cards for club mentors.



    As the department made sure to celebrate advisers, the vice president for student affairs took time to share his gratitude with office staff for its support. "As our academic year comes to an end, we can all look back with pride on how our student leaders and student organizations provided the infrastructure for Penn College student life to continue and thrive through incredibly difficult circumstances," Elliott Strickland wrote. "These leaders and these groups could not have succeeded without your support, wisdom and guidance."
