Exploring the creative journeys and promising career paths of eight graduating seniors in Pennsylvania College of Technology’s graphic design major, a reception was held April 26 for the Graphic Design Student Portfolio Exhibition.

Culminating four years of intensive study, the annual show in The Gallery at Penn College presents the students’ work in marketing, branding, packaging, advertising and design.
