Anticipating Plane of Their Own, El Salvadoran Educators Pay Fact-Finding Visit
Wednesday, June 26, 2013
Representatives of Universidad Don Bosco in El Salvador, soon to join Penn College as a recipient of a retired aircraft from FedEx, visited the Lumley Aviation Center and other instructional areas during a visit Tuesday and Wednesday. The group toured the hangar and other instructional areas of the college's facility at the Williamsport Regional Airport in Montoursville − including the Boeing 727 donated to Penn College in March 2012 − as well as the Plastics Innovation & Resource Center, the School of Industrial and Engineering Technologies, and Workforce Development & Continuing Education on main campus. The institution, located in San Salvador, offers a number of technology majors that mirror Penn College's, including aircraft maintenance, product design and mechatronics.Photos by Stacey C.
