Penn State Berks is reaching out to the local community in a new way — through "LionSide Chats," a modern interpretation of former U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Depression-era “Fireside Chats.”
Not only does Mark Dawson work at Penn State Berks, but he will graduate with two of his six daughters, Dakota and Hunter, on Saturday, May 4, during the college’s 2 p.m. commencement ceremony.
Penn State Berks honored two high school students, three college students, and a faculty and staff member during this year’s Martin Luther King Jr. awards banquet on Jan. 21.
Berks will have two student marshals for the fall 2018 commencement, Sara A. Stoyer from Orwigsburg and Steven Mack Jr. from Denver, Pennsylvania. Each has earned an overall 4.0 GPA and will graduate with summa cum laude honors.
