Penn State Wilkes-Barre will feature student artwork during the newest exhibit in the campus’ Friedman Art Gallery. The student art exhibit, which opened Feb. 3 and runs through March 31, features artwork by students enrolled in three different Penn State Wilkes-Barre courses.
When Walter Sowa, professor emeritus of engineering, turned 100 on Jan. 5, his family and friends gathered to celebrate his life and the impact he has made on others. During his 32-year teaching career, Sowa positively impacted the lives of numerous students at a time of growth and expansion for Penn State Wilkes-Barre. Inspired by his dedication to students and the deep connection he had with the University, several of his children and grandchildren later enrolled at the same university where he taught.
