Organizations throughout northeastern Pennsylvania learned what an asset Penn State Hazleton students are to their community through the service projects completed by sophomores enrolled in PT 204 (physical therapy assistant seminar).
The 34 students in the class were divided into six groups that chose their own service-learning projects, which varied from providing volunteer assistance to raising money for different organizations. Each group talked about the organization they helped during classroom presentations at the conclusion of the projects.
Penn State Hazleton students were among those who raised more than $13 million to help children fight their battle against cancer during this year's THON, held at the Bryce Jordan Center at the University Park campus from Feb. 20 to 22.
