Thursday, July 9, 2015
Young men and women from the Williamsport YMCA's F.I.R.S.T. (Fostering Individuality, Respect, Success and Teamwork) Program toured Penn College's collision repair lab Wednesday as part of a five-week summer workshop series designed for community outreach. The once-weekly activities, sponsored by Lycoming United Way, are spearheaded by Katrina A. Sinclair, part-time member of the college's history faculty. Automotive instructor Eric D. Pruden walked the group through the restoration, paint and collision repair labs before assigning them hands-on activities involving series and parallel circuits.
