Friday, October 27, 2023
Judd R. Pittman, director of the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Bureau of Career and Technical Education, visited Pennsylvania College of Technology while in Williamsport for a stakeholders meeting on Friday.
A widely acknowledged advocate for K-12 career and technical education, Pittman – a former science educator, director of K-16 Initiatives at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology and special consultant to the state secretary of education – toured campus with President Michael J. Reed and Loni N. Kline, senior vice president for college relations (who, like Friday's visitor, got her undergraduate degree at Juniata College).
Pittman, interested in learning more about educators' regional needs, was meeting with Intermediate Unit executive directors representing central Pennsylvania. The session's location also allowed the director (whose father-in-law graduated from Williamsport Area Community College) to learn more about Penn College.
Among the stops on their tour were The Madigan Library, Breuder Advanced Technology & Health Sciences Center, College Avenue Labs, Larry A. Ward Machining Technologies Center, and Lycoming Engines Metal Trades Center.
