Jim Kelly enrolled at Penn State to earn a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership and to become a more well-rounded person. Jim wants to spread the message to other adults that going back to school is possible.
“Ever since I started taking classes again, I have been letting others know that if they want an education, they can definitely do it. As an adult, my priorities and dedication are different. It’s hard to think about not being in school.”
