YORK, Pa. — Penn State York honored the members of the faculty and staff who took advantage of the University’s Voluntary Retirement Program (VRP), at a recent celebration on the stage of the Pullo Family Performing Arts Center (The Pullo Center), on campus. The 10 retirees represent 276 years of combined service to the University.
“The campus is pleased for these ten retirees, and at the same time, sad to see these colleagues leave,” said David W. Chown, chancellor of Penn State York. “They represent a significant, measurable number of years of service, and, even more, an immeasurable amount of dedication to Penn State and its students.”
