Industry partners honor construction management students

Penn College’s Construction Management Advisory Committee met this month and, as part of their business, selected recipients for several Construction Management Scholarships, totaling over $10,000 in awards.

Recipients were announced at a lunch gathering at The Valley Inn and included:

• Construction Management Endowed Scholarships – $2,000: Noah H. Jumper, of Shippensburg; Morgan H. Littlefield, of Columbia Crossroads; and Chris A. Fisher, of Middleburg
• Construction Management Advisory Committee Scholarships – $1,000: James C. Fretz, of Collegeville; Jason Wiedl, of West Pittson; and Dylan B. Whitmoyer, of Muncy
• Construction Management Advisory Committee Emerging Freshman Scholarship – $500: John E. Schwear, of Sugarloaf
• Whiting-Turner Construction Scholarship – $1,000: Noah H. Jumper, of Shippensburg

The group also selected recipients for two commencement awards:

• Construction Management Advisory Committee Leadership & Service Award: Grayson M. Tanner, of St. Matthews, S.C.
• Northcentral Pennsylvania Construction Specifications Institute Construction Management Leadership & Service Award: Blaine W. Mann, of Jersey Shore

Advisory committees act as recommending bodies to Penn College faculty and administration. They are composed of in-field professionals who act as partners in the development of the college’s real-world-relevant curriculum. Their curricular and equipment advice, as well as their industry connections and internship opportunities, are invaluable to students and to the college’s growth.
