A Campus Community Garden at Pennsylvania College of Technology is offering fresh learning opportunities – and food options – on the college’s campuses.
Students fill the Capitol Eatery for an end-of-semester tradition. The perfect "midnight" snack: pancakes and ice cream John Rush, who boasts a set list of more than 200 bands and 65 hours of unduplicated songs, performs for students. Massage therapists ease the tension of final exams. Friends gather for late-night stress relief.
The college's Wildcat mascot goes "green," opting for a reusable takeout container from the Keystone Dining Room. Noelle B. Bloom, Dining Services assistant director II, registers Ashley C.

Keystone Dining Room staff helped out with the cooking of some very large bones that Children's Learning Center director Karen Payne brought in Tuesday. "What kind of bones are these?" she asked the children.
As the 25th-anniversary year of Dining Services comes to a close, the department announces some upcoming changes: On May 17, the Susquehanna Room will be renamed the Keystone Dining Room.
