The inaugural Williamsport Main Street Torch Run is set for 5:30 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 21, and the Penn College community is invited to celebrate local Special Olympics athletes, who are preparing for the 2025 Special Olympics Pennsylvania Summer Games, taking place June 5-7 in State College. Beginning at Lycoming College and ending at Penn College, the run will be followed by a pep rally on the patio and parking lot of the Davie Jane Gilmour Center.
WNEP-TV joined about 150 middle school students who visited Penn College for STEMFest, a celebration of engineering and technical fields. Reporter Mackenzie Aucker attended some of the hands-on workshops.
“Building Resilience – Making Positive Changes” was the theme of the fourth annual Wildcat Wellness Fair, hosted recently by students enrolled in the Clinical Psychology class, Counseling Services and Student Engagement. The healthy and healing hands-on happening featured a range of Penn College student organizations and services – all aiming to uplift, encourage and de-stress students during the busy spring season.
A showcase of student artwork and creative development was celebrated this past Friday with a reception honoring 12 talented graphic design students in their final semester of study at Penn College. “Graphic Design 2025” runs through Friday, May 9, in The Gallery at Penn College, on the third floor of The Madigan Library.
The Friday afternoon before finals stirred Wildcats into a frolicking frenzy, and the “Semester Send-Off,” hosted by the Office of Student Engagement, offered just the right ticket to fun.
The Student Government Association’s Spring 2025 Silent Auction generated a record-breaking $5,600 in funds, surpassing the previous record of $4,200. The annual fundraiser is SGA’s signature event, raising money for the Student Leader Legacy Scholarship. Three Penn College students have been identified as the latest scholarship recipients.
The annual “Take Your Child to Work Day” at Penn College is always centered on exciting career-focused activities. The Office of People & Culture invites employees to take part in the national celebration.
Nothing foretells the end of the semester and the start of finals quite like the campus tradition of “Midnight Breakfast.” Thursday evening, 425 Penn College students braved intense rains to pile up stacks of pancakes, donuts, ice cream and other treats in Dauphin Hall’s Capitol Eatery.
An occasion to reminisce and renew, a special reunion welcomed alumni of Williamsport Technical Institute and Williamsport Area Community College back to campus. The predecessor institutions of Pennsylvania College of Technology laid the groundwork for today’s educational achievements and are an important part of the college’s legendary legacy. The gathering also celebrated the 60th anniversary of the founding of WACC, one of the state’s first community colleges, in 1965.
