    I liked the part about the SC&IS Department heading the Marine Logistics Education Program, and Mr. Coyle hit on exactly the topic on which I wrote my Honors Thesis this past year.

  9. As a current student of the university, it gives me great pride to know that I am part of something big in making the world a better place on all levels imaginable. Contributing to such cause as THON chair on my campus means the world to me.

    WE ARE…. PENN STATE :-D
