    Words to live byA closeup of students' craftA handcrafted addition to a hallway in Penn College's School of Construction & Design Technologies – espousing "honesty," "integrity" and "respect" – shows off students' skills while offering bywords for the campus community. From a seed planted with faculty last fall by Marc E. Bridgens, dean of the school, the idea grew into a spring project for Peter Kruppenbacher's CCM 440 (Woodworking: Art, Craft and Design) classes. "We worked with Rob Wozniak in the architecture area to find a font that would work," the assistant professor of building construction technology said, "and he printed out full-size templates for us to use as patterns." Two sections of Kruppenbacher's class worked on the letters off and on between other projects throughout the semester, helping to lay out, cut, prepare and install the letters on a wall near the carpentry labs in the Carl Building Technologies Center.
