CREATIVE ROYALE SUPPORTS STUDENTS' SOBER CHOICES
Kutztown University held the second annual Creative Royale Nov. 18 at the Sharadin Art Building. This was an evening filled with artists creating art, music and entertainment. Eighty-five individuals competed against time and each other, to create two pieces of art that illustrated how students cope with stressors and manage their mental well-being and sober choices.

RETIREMENT GATHERING FOR PAM SCAMPTON
Pam Scampton started in the Office of Financial Aid the summer of her freshman year as a work/study student and continued for more than 30 years. Pam’s familiarity with every aid program and her ability to think ahead and always ask, “What if?” made her the go-to person for technical, mathematical and processing questions. COVID forced us to postpone her retirement celebration. Please join us to recognize Pam’s many years of dedicated service, 2-4:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 14, in 209 Stratton Administration Center when Pam returns for a well-deserved retirement celebration with light refreshments.
Bernard McCree, Director for Financial aid Services
