NCPA LaunchBox, Penn State DuBois launch Industry 4.0 Academy

The North Central Pennsylvania LaunchBox powered by Penn State DuBois has launched an initiative aimed at preparing high school seniors for careers in advanced manufacturing and technology. The Industry 4.0 Academy, designed as a hands-on learning experience, introduces students to cutting-edge concepts such as robotics, automation, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

Penn State DuBois dancers and community help raise more than $31,000 for THON

In what can only be described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the four dancers who represented Penn State DuBois at THON — Amber Eberly, Gabby Horner, Veronica Mercurio and Paige Miller — have returned to campus after completing the 46-hour dance marathon at the Bryce Jordan Center. After being on their feet for that long, they got to rest a bit easier knowing that their efforts, along with the efforts of the THON committee and the campus community, raised more than $31,000 “For the Kids.”
