In what has become a fall tradition, College Relations and its "Give Thanks, Paw It Forward" campaign shine a light on the appreciation that Penn College students hold for those who aid their educational journey.

Penn College News will share a "Meet the Makers" profile every day this week, starting with nursing student Bryn A. Vargo, of Trout Run.

“To everyone who invested in my global experience, I cannot thank you enough for what you have done to make it happen," Vargo said, referencing her recent mission trip to the Dominican Republic. "I am so grateful and profoundly changed by the experience I was provided. I hope that I can encourage others to give it a try and help them with their journey.”

The messages will be amplified across Penn College's campuses all week long through posters and digital displays; Stall Wall Weekly; and in handwritten "thank you" cards honoring students' favorite faculty members, mentors and coaches.
