A Place for Creatives

The Gallery at Penn College is an incredible place that displays the work of amazing artists from all over the world. The exhibits rotate out about every month and a new exhibit comes in. Artists have said this is the best gallery space they have ever been in.

The gallery is incredibly photogenic and I love being assigned to go photograph a “Gallery Talk” or some still shots of the artwork. What I love most about the gallery is that, every time I go there, it is completely different. The walls that hold the artwork can move and rotate! Also, the lights are able to be moved, removed or dimmed. For those of you who have never been there or do not know where it is, turn right just inside the double doors at the front entrance to the library and take the elevator or staircase to the third floor.

Check out the next gallery exhibit, which will feature work of Lycoming County residents.

Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring

Pink buds

I am pretty sure all of us are ready for the warm weather, even though I know every single one of us enjoyed all those snow days! Campus always has such a beautiful glow during the spring season. There is so much color and scents that are more unique than any other season.

Brandt and Brent Hey are twin brothers from Chambersburg. For those who do not personally know Brandt and Brent, it probably feels close to impossible to tell them apart.

Wildcat Wanderings

Loading Wildcat into ambulance

Taking a walk with the Wildcat around campus is one of my favorite assignments. It’s always a lot of fun because students love to get their pictures taken with the college mascot (a celebrity!), and many are inclined to give the Wildcat a hug or a high-five. Read more…

Lookin’ Good

1971 Rolls-Royce Shadow

Many of you may have noticed some fancy vintage cars around campus – possibly the 1965 Ford Mustang convertible or the 1909 Chalmers that have been on display in the Madigan Library within the past year. Both of these beauties, plus several others, are being restored by Penn College students in the automotive restoration technology major right here on campus.

Starting Out

Parents and students waiting for their tours to begin

As part of my job as a student photographer, I usually have specific photo assignments but, sometimes, I just go looking for photos around campus. On this day, I needed to take photos in some of the offices in the Student & Administrative Services Center. (We call it the SASC.) The SASC is the first building most visitors come to on campus. The Admissions Office is here and this is where campus tours start. Read more…

Welcome from Whitnie

Whitnie-rae Mays

I got my first camera as an Easter gift in 1995 when I was 4. It was a Crayola Polaroid camera and I took my first set of photos that day. I keep the album with me to remind me how creative I was and still am. I grew up in Birdsboro with three younger sisters and three dogs. Read more…
