Graduates of Williamsport Technical Institute – a predecessor of Penn College that provided hands-on education to thousands of students from 1941-65 – reunited in Le Jeune Chef Restaurant on Friday.
Around 20 alumni – plus their guests – gathered to catch up, share memories, and hear about the latest in a few of the college’s current academic programs. Nicole S. Warner, librarian for archives and special collections, and Crystal J. Rice, library operations/public services coordinator, added to the conversation with a display of photos and memorabilia from the Penn College Archives.
Speaking to the guests were President Michael J. Reed, students Sandra M. Gallick, an architecture & sustainable design student from Linden; Miranda Mohammad, a nursing student from Philadelphia; and Autumn B. Stanley, a baking & pastry arts student from Lincoln University, and staff members Lori A. Boos, alumni and career engagement manager, and Bethany A. Warner, a simulation laboratory coordinator for nursing education.
The event is coordinated by Alumni Relations.
