Harvesting food from an art gallery? That’s exactly what is taking place on Pennsylvania College of Technology’s campus, thanks to a unique collaboration by The Gallery at Penn College and Dining Services. “Community Hydroponic Garden” is one of the displays in the gallery’s current exhibition – “Food Justice: Growing a Healthier Community Through Art.” The working garden utilizes distilled water and ceramic containers to grow kale that can be harvested to share and enjoy.
Pennsylvania College of Technology’s association with the Little League Challenger Division dates back to the early 2000s, when a faculty member – with two kids playing in the first two exhibition games – turned parenthood and passion into a volunteer gig. Decades later, Steven J. Moff, professor of business administration/management and marketing, is still on board.
More than 600 students enjoyed one of Penn College's longest-running traditions: Dining Services' Midnight Breakfast, which this year observed its silver anniversary.
A cultural interchange between Pennsylvania College of Technology and visitors from North West Regional College in Northern Ireland – a two-week whirlwind that was five years in the making – came to a close with memories indelibly shared and lives irrevocably altered.
Penn College's annual "YELLow It Out" observance, sponsored this past week by Student Affairs and People & Culture, offered coordinated programming aimed at sharing resources and raising awareness for suicide prevention.
Midnight Breakfast – a gastronomical (though unscientific) gauge of student success – was held from 10 p.m.-midnight Thursday in the Keystone Dining Room. The free student meal featured a menu of breakfast sandwiches, bacon, home fries, ice cream, a yogurt bar and beverages.
Among items on the menu were Cider Brined Turkey, Brown Sugar Grilled Peach and Bourbon Glazed Ham, stuffing, and mashed Yukon potatoes. A variety of scrumptious side dishes included Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cinnamon Butternut Squash, with pecans and cranberries.
Whether you're hungry for a full-course feast or just hankering for a slice of pizza, Dining Services has you covered. Thanks to nine locations across Penn College, a meal or snack is always nearby!

Dining Services hosted its fifth annual Soup for the Soul event on Thursday, collecting more than $1,000 to benefit The Cupboard (Bush Campus Center, first floor).
Wednesday's "Taste the World," a redesigned version of the Multicultural Lawn Party, turned the Bush Campus Center patio into a gathering of the global citizens who comprise Penn College. From 11 a.m.-1 p.m., students, faculty and staff enjoyed free food, T-shirts, demonstrations, and arts and crafts – all while being introduced to different cultures, cuisine and more.
