Bring your lunch and learn with us! Penn State Abington is pleased to introduce a new continuing education program that is free to our corporate and community partners in the Philadelphia area. If your Company or Organization is looking for speakers, or has a "Brown - Bag Series" for your employees during the lunch hour, Penn State will bring dessert and provide speakers on the following subjects. Program length would be approximately one half-hour.

"College Admissions/Financial Aid - A Guide for Parents"
