We love welcoming our alumni back to campus! We were excited to see OTA alumna Valerie Croph ’25 return for Party on the Patio yesterday. Valerie joined students, employees, fellow alumni, and members of the East Pennsboro community for an evening of food, music, and fun.

Several alumni who now serve the college were also in attendance, including Athletic Director Kasey Hicks and Student Engagement Coordinator Gabby Breski. Once a Knight, always a Knight! 🛡️

A special shoutout goes to the Central Penn College Women’s Volleyball team for serving as guest DJs and raising funds through a bake sale and the opportunity to “pie” team members in the face. Thank you as well to Mad Dash Concessions and 5 R’s Eats and Treats for providing the evening’s delicious food!
