Other winners, selected in online voting by 368 members of the college community, were the Diesel Performance Technicians Association, second place for student groups, and the Physician Assistant Club, third. The Madigan Library placed second among Penn College offices; third-place honors went to Financial Operations. Prizes for the top three student organizations are awarded to the respective winners' club accounts in increments of $200, $150 and $100.
