Saluting the Penn College military family, Veterans Week featured a range of events, including a brunch, bingo, informational displays and a national honor society induction ceremony.
Students, faculty and staff who have served (or continue to serve) their country were also recognized in a voluntary roster.
With the ranking of No. 1 school for veteran students in U.S. News & World Report's 2025 Best Colleges’ Regional College (North) classification, Penn College and its veterans have a lot to celebrate.
The Rock on campus is appropriately "outfitted" for the occasion.

A sweet celebration
Small tables, known as “Missing Man” or “Fallen Comrade" tables, pay tribute to all branches of the U.S. armed forces ...
... and are stationed at various campus locations in honor of fallen, missing or imprisoned U.S. military personnel.
