DuBOIS, Pa. - Students, faculty, staff, friends, family and members of the community recently all gathered at the PAW Center, on the campus of Penn State DuBois, to recognize the academic achievements, involvement in clubs, organizations, leadership initiatives, and intercollegiate athletics at the annual Recognition and Awards Banquet.
Student Government Association President Jason Plubell began the evening by offering a welcome message to all in attendance. He highlighted upon the outstanding year that the students at the campus have had. Plubell also reflected upon the fact that the campus was missing a beloved professor, Fred Groh, who passed away unexpectedly on March 8. A moment of silence was observed in Groh's honor.
Following the completion of dinner service, Jungwoo Ryoo, chancellor and chief academic officer, stepped to the podium and applauded all the efforts that students have put in this academic year.
