As part of Penn College's "Give Thanks, Paw It Forward" campaign, an annual expression of deep and widespread appreciation, College Relations is amplifying students’ gratitude for their life-changing collegiate experiences through a pre-Thanksgiving campaign of thankfulness. Joining the effort, Penn College News will share a week’s worth of “Meet the Makers” profiles, starting with Matthew J.

First-Generation College Celebration Week at Penn College featured an array of exploration and information, highlighted by Lasada “LP” Pippen, a former computer engineer turned motivational speaker. In two speaking engagements – a morning session focused on students and an evening colloquium open to the public, the first-generation college graduate shared his inspiring message about turning obstacles into opportunities and seeing challenges as chances.
On this Veterans Day weekend, Penn College News honors the students, alumni, faculty and staff who have selflessly served (or continue to serve) their country. Members of the college community are encouraged to join in acknowledging these colleagues, who are among those to whom we pay tribute.
