Co-workers gathered in the Keystone Dining Room at President Davie Jane Gilmour's invitation to kick off the 100th birthday bash for adult education on campus. In addition to free nachos, commemorative magnets and chocolate bars (with wrappers offering a discount on centennial-themed apparel at The College Store) were given away. Another integral party guest – the college's student body – will join the festivities during a Jan. 21 basketball doubleheader against Penn State DuBois in Bardo Gym, just one of the many events on tap for the coming months.
