William H. Spence (left), 1979 graduate of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, was one of 16 Penn Staters honored by the Penn State Alumni Association on Oct. 23 with the Alumni Fellow Award, the highest award given by the Alumni Association. Spence, who is chairman and CEO of PPL Corporation, posed with his wife, Denise Spence, daughter, Rachel Siegel and son-in-law, Jason Siegel, at the dinner event held at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center. The Alumni Fellow program is administered by the Penn State Alumni Association in cooperation with the University's academic colleges, campuses and the Office of the President. Alumni are nominated by a college or campus as leaders in their professional fields and accept an invitation from the president of the University to return to campus to share their expertise with students, faculty and administrators. Spence was nominated by Penn State Lehigh Valley.
Penn State Lehigh Valley will host its seventh annual golf tournament, newly named the Penn State Lehigh Valley Howard Kulp Golf Tournament, on Monday, June 3, at Northampton Country Club in Easton. The tournament will benefit the campus' Open Doors Scholarship Fund.
