Memorial Service Set for Emeritus Professor, First Director of ESC

A memorial service will be held Saturday for Joseph G. Sick, a longtime faculty member at both of Penn College’s predecessors (Williamsport Technical Institute and Williamsport Area Community College) and first director of the Earth Science Center. He retired as a professor emeritus in 1983 after 34 years' employment. During his tenure at WACC, he served as a professor and director of the Earth Science Division for 18 years. The service will be at 2 p.m. in Pine Street United Methodist Church. A 2007 interview with Sick, conducted by Daniel J. Doyle, an emeritus professor of history at the college, is available in MP3 format on the Madigan Library’s WTI podcast page.
