Over the last decade, Janelle Larson (standing third from left) has led a University-wide outreach collaboration between Penn State Berks and the Children and Youth Empowerment Centre (CYEC) in Nyeri, Kenya.
Approximately 100 Penn State students have studied and worked on community development projects at the Children and Youth Empowerment Centre over the last decade. The program has also touched more than 50 former street-dwelling youth. Note: Study Abroad programs have been canceled for the fall 2020 semester due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Joseph Webb, director of student affairs at Penn State Berks, was recently honored with Penn State’s John Romano Faculty/Staff Diversity Recognition Award. The award recognizes Webb’s commitment to supporting diversity.
