Penny Royer: Associate degree in business administration, Penn State Altoona; awarded Fischer Family Scholarship
“My oldest daughter was graduating from high school, and I felt it was time to see if I could handle college, but I struggle with a chronic disease called ITP. My CE instructors have been very understanding, and if it weren’t for the adult learner evening classes, I probably would not be able to get my Penn State degree.” Congratulations to Penny who graduated in August 2009.
Adult students in Lewistown say that they really like the small class size, the convenience of classes close to home, and the bond they develop with others in their community who are taking classes at The Learning Center. The Learning Center offers a combination of hands-on activities, practical projects, and opportunities for individualized instruction. The recently expanded facility includes a high-tech health and science lab.
