A Night at Mt. Hill Tavern

Dr. Christian Brady and donors

The Schreyer Honors College, it’s a big title.  So it was with great pride, that the Penn State Harrisburg Honors program embraced going under the umbrella that is the Schreyer Honors College.  But with becoming a part of that, the Capital Campus Honors Program needs to expand funding as well.  The benefits that befall the students in the program are, unfortunately, not a free commodity.  For that reason, as well as to thank our existing donors, a few honors student, faculty, and staff gathered at the Mt. Hill Tavern in Harrisburg.

In a wood-floored room, an intimate group of a little over twenty gathered, mingling and dining on hors d'oeuvres.  The room was abuzz with talk of upcoming theses that students were working on and the many benefits that the Capital College Honors Program gave to the students.  Amongst the speakers that evening were Dr. Kulkarni, Chancellor of Penn State Harrisburg, Doug Neidich, a donor as well as the owner of Mt. Hill Tavern, and Kevin Harter, a member of the Penn State Harrisburg Board of Advisers as well as a donor to the Capital College Honors Program, and Dr. Christian Brady, Dean of Schreyer Honors College.  All of the speakers boasted a pride in the honors program as well as recognized the work that Dr. Tawatnuntachai has done for the program.

The event went without a hitch.  The food was excellent.  The conversation was flowing, and
the students got to interact with the people behind the Capital College Honors Program.
