Penn State University Staff Speak to QBC Population

Penn State University Staff Speak to QBC Population

As part of our reentry efforts, Penn State University staff members (Melissa Duttry, Director of Enrollment Services; Rebecca Pennington, Director of Student Affairs; and Holli Lashinsky, Assistant Director of Admissions, Enrollment Services) again visited Quehanna Boot Camp on Nov. 9 to discuss the following with the Boot Camp and SIP populations:

• PSU application process
• Judicial review process
• Financial Aid application process
• Overview of PSU Academic programs
• Career piece: What can a person do with a felony on their record?

Also in attendance from Penn State was Tharren Thompson, enrollment specialist, veterans services. Thompson discussed veterans benefits that are available.

Approximately 115 inmates attended the presentation and actively participated by giving their full attention and asking relevant questions.

Thank you to Penn State University and Reentry Specialist Dunn for their continued efforts to inform Quehanna's population about academic options.
