Penn Highlands was a platform on which I was able to build my professional skills, leading to all the opportunities and advancements that came after. In two years, I had become the budding specialist that I needed to be, not to mention the strength of body and mind that I also achieved. Without the groundwork that was laid for me at Penn Highlands, I don’t know if such a career path would have been possible!- Mike Viveros, Graduate
