A newly installed plaque honors George P. Wolfe Sr., a retired associate professor of computer information technology who died Dec. 19, 2022, at the age of 92.
Wolfe, whose career encompassed Pennsylvania College of Technology and both of its predecessor institutions, implemented and taught the first computer curriculum – then called engineering and design data processing technology – at Williamsport Technical Institute in 1963. He served as director of Williamsport Area Community College's fledgling Academic Computing Division from 1984 until 1989, when he was named the first director of Penn College’s Technology Transfer Center (the forerunner of Workforce Development).
