Penn College was well-represented at the recent Girls Exploring Tomorrow's Technology event at West Chester East High School, offering hands-on glimpses into "Taste of Sweet & Savory Technology" and "3-D Printing in Engineering and Industrial Design." Students, faculty and staff from the schools of Business & Hospitality and Industrial, Computing & Engineering Technologies, as well as the college's Admissions Office, gave fifth- to 10th-grade girls a memorably experiential entree into career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
