“Returning to school as an adult was
intimidating. Although I would never change it,
having a full-time job and family kept me from
moving forward in my career. Imagine my
surprise when I found that Central Penn College
could help me make my dream of getting my
bachelor’s degree a possibility. The flexibility of
the coursework allowed me to complete my
degree while still meeting my responsibilities
elsewhere. The education I received also
prepared me for master’s degree work. Central Michelle Meiser,
Penn taught me “I can” do anything I set my Adult Student and Graduate
mind to, and “I will” always be grateful for that! Chat with Michelle now!
