Manufacturing Alum Featured Among Magazine's Industry All-Stars

David M. Huston, who graduated from Penn College in May 2010 with a bachelor's degree in manufacturing engineering technology, has been chosen among the country's future leaders in manufacturing by a national publication.

Manufacturing Engineering magazine included Huston in its recent third annual "30 Under 30" issue, which celebrates 30 people under the age of 30 who "have demonstrated exceptional talent and leadership in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics – fields that are essential underpinnings to a career in manufacturing."

Huston provided the news to the college's Alumni Relations Office, asking that it be shared with the faculty in his major "who had such a positive influence on my schooling and career." He also noted that the industry is putting higher demand and focus on hiring young people to replace a retiring workforce. "Penn College has given me the skill set and knowledge to get my career off to a great start," he wrote. "It is my firm belief that (the college) graduates premier talent with the hands-on 'know-how' that other colleges/universities can't compete with."
