The Student Veteran Organization surprised Penn College President Michael J. Reed by presenting him with its Veteran Student Success Award on Thursday. The honor recognizes faculty or staff who go above and beyond to support student veterans in achieving their academic goals.
From family-friendly to frightfully fun, Penn College celebrated Halloween with several events, many of them longstanding traditions.
Student engagement recently hosted Grocery Loteria. Loteria is a Mexican game similar to bingo – a Penn College favorite. In addition to learning a new game, players had a chance to win packages of ingredients – with accompanying recipes – to make common Hispanic dishes.
Although they didn’t achieve their typical top-10 finish, the Pennsylvania College of Technology team performed well at Baja SAE Carolina and is already working toward next season.
Pennsylvania College of Technology’s “Accelerated Learning” is at it again, and this time, the Diesel Performance Club’s 12,000-pound 1959 B-61 Mack truck advanced to the seventh-round finals of the Maple Grove Dragway’s 2025 Keystone Truckin’ Nationals. Narrowly missing the top prize by a margin of only .079 seconds, the crew has now celebrated two back-to-back years of success for a project 25 years in the making.
A black-tie gala with industry leaders and a tour of a popular toolmaker’s headquarters were among highlights for students in Pennsylvania College of Technology’s Construction Management Association when they were invited guests at a series of activities hosted by Associated Builders and Contractors in the Washington, D.C., area.
Paint flew and smiles grew during the annual Penn College Paint Party on the Professional Development Center lawn. Held in October instead of its original date, thanks to early-semester rain, the event combines music, neon paint and water blasters and was every bit as fun – and messy – as usual.
It was a “wild” weekend at Penn College as alumni, students, family and friends gathered to celebrate Wildcat Weekend Sept. 19-21 on campus and in the surrounding communities, woodlands and waterways.
Wildcat Wars, an early fall tradition at Penn College, returned to UPMC Field, with residence hall teams battling in kickball, dodgeball and tug-of-war. In the end, the York/Juniata team earned the win – and a year's worth of bragging rights.
Wildcat Weekend is set for Sept. 19, 20 and 21, and alumni, students, parents and friends are in for an exciting couple of days.
